vSphere 8.0 U2 brings many improvements, fixes several problems and increases stability. After upgrading from vSphere 8.0 U1 to U2, there are some changes in vSAN as well. If vSAN cluster is running on the infrastructure, you need to rise disk version when you’re running the newest vSphere.
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.
