Two Default VSAN Policies - Possible?

[furryhamster]

Hello! I was wondering if anyone might be able to help with this query. If I have a single VC Server running two different VSAN clusters, how might I create a completely different default policy for each of the two clusters? For example, I might want VM's that have had no individual policies assigned to them and that are deployed to cluster A to default to FTT = 2, but those deployed to B to have FTT=3. So far I can see only one default policy that is used for all clusters.

Hello furryhamster​,

Each vsandatastore (and thus cluster) can have its own SP(Storage Policy) set as their Default Storage Policy:

Change the Default Storage Policy for a Datastore

Changed from the Web Client by Right-clicking the vsandatastore inventory object and select an already configured SP:

Or via the UI client:

You can also change all (except the name) of the attributes of the original 'Default vSAN Storage Policy' - but this doesn't have to be the actual SP set as the default for all clusters vsandatastores:
