The challenge is easy – vSAN datastore is running out of space and need to be expanded.
The whole process is a quite obvious. If there are free disk slots in a ESXi hosts, get a new drives, install in the servers and reconfigure vSAN capacity pool from the vCenter.
vSAN OSA (Original Storage Architecture) is one of two ways for implement a virtual storage solution. Another one is vSAN ESA (Express Storage Architecture). Today I want to focus on the first one. In short, vSAN enables to configure virtual storage across VMware ESXi hosts using local drives.
Patching infrastructure is a typical administration task. To maintain and keep infrastructure secure and up to date, it’s important to install updates. Especially the critical ones.
