Hi,

Which ESXi host version you are using ?

What is the hardware version of the virtual machine ?

What type of Flash drive you are using ?

Hi,

Can you elaborate more means what all activity you have performed and where you are stuck

It looks like you are running VSAN in a nested configuration.

Have you ensured that the "flash drive" has scsciX:X.virtualSSD="1" as in William's post?

Hi Umesh

I have got a lab setup for 4 servers (each server has 3 virtual disks (1 - Flash & 2 - data disks) in a cluster, where VSAN is made as Automatic. However, when i try to look at Vsan Summary, i see only 3 hosts are eligible and total hosts are 4.

Also, I have tried to mark one of the available drives (2GB) as flash drive and tried to check, still its not showing the drive in the Vsan....

Appreciate any quick help....

Hello Jase

It's not nested configuration.

I am doing Vmware HOL, in that I am facing this issue....

Hmm. So you are having an issue with a VMware HoL?
What's the lab number?

I'd like to go spin it up and see if I can replicate the issue.
