Last updated 22nd December 2021
Objective
This guide explains how to add a new ESXi server storage to an existing vSAN cluster.
Requirements
- Being an administrative contact of your Hosted Private Cloud infrastructure to receive login credentials
- A user account with access to vSphere as well as the specific rights for NSX (created in the OVHcloud Control Panel)
- A deployed vSan Datastore
Instructions
Order a new vSan host
Log in to the OVHcloud Control Panel with your administrative credentials.
In the Hosted Private Cloud section, select your datacenter and go to the Hosts tab.
Click on the Order a Host button.
Select the fitting vSAN host for your need and click Confirm Order
Verify the recap of your order and click Next
Check the boxes to accept the terms and conditions and go on to the payment. You will get an order confirmation.
The new host will be automatically integrated to your infrastructure and you will receive a confirmation email when it is ready for use in vSphere.
Add new vSan host storage to your datastore
In the vSphere interface menu, go to the Hosts and Clusters dashboard.
You should see your new host in the cluster.
On the left side, select your cluster, go in the Configure tab then vSAN / Disk Management.
Click on Claim Unused Disks.
Available disks are assigned to cache or capacity (see Official VMware VSAN page for explanation) depending on types and sizes. You can customize it to your need.
Click on Create when ready.
The new disk group will take some time to be created and added to the vSAN datastore.
Once done, the datastore is ready for use with the added storage.
