Hello Support,
I'm trying to create a new vSAN policy using RAID5 but I'm not able to find the Failure tolerance method in the vSAN policy as per the below screen shot.
Hello elieqt
Are you perchance using a vSAN cluster with Standard Licensed and/or a Hybrid cluster here?
RAID5/6 requires All-Flash and a minimum of Advanced vSAN licensing:
Using RAID 5 or RAID 6 Erasure Coding

Hello Bob,
Thanks for the information.
I tried to add the vSAN Enterprise license from the vCenter server but the CPU number is still 0. How can I activate the vSAN license per CPU?
Regards,
I added the license as per the below screen shot, but I'm still not able to find the RAID Method in the policy.
Hello elieqt,
Are there at least 4 nodes in the cluster and out of Maintenance Mode etc.?
This is an All-Flash cluster?
Is this a 4-node single-CPU cluster? (This is the only configuration that could be licensed as per the image)
If yes to both then try resyncing the VASA providers and restarting vmware-sps service on the vCenter.
Bob
It is a Hybrid cluster.
Hello elieqt,
Theres the reason so.
"RAID 5 or RAID 6 erasure coding is available only on all-flash disk groups."
Bob
Thanks a lot.
