You can create a
vSAN stretched
cluster with a witness node. You can then create a
vSAN storage
policy and enable performance service on the
vSAN cluster.
Prerequisites
■
Verify that you are
connected to a
vCenter
Server
system.
■
Verify that you have
access to at least two virtual machine hosts.
■
Verify that each of the
virtual machine hosts has at least one SSD and one HDD.
■
Verify that the virtual
machine hosts are in maintenance mode.
■
Verify that you have
access to an
ESXi host that
can be used as a witness host or deploy a witness appliance on any node. Ensure
that the witness host or appliance is outside the
vSAN cluster.
Procedure
1
Configure a
vSAN VMkernel
port on each of the two hosts.
