VMware Workstation 17 Nested Home Lab Part 8: Setting up vSAN ESA
In Part 8 we install and configure the vSAN ESA into our Nested vSphere environment. We'll do a quick review of the networking setup with vDS, some tips/tricks to setting up vSAN ESA, validate the ESA datastore, and enable the vSAN License key. All these steps will prepare us for Part 9 where we'll run HCIBench to performance test our nested cluster.
Note: To address some of the shortcomings with network configuration in this video, I have created a new video to address those needs. See VMware Workstation 17 Nested Home Lab Part 8b: More on Networking. Thank you to my subscribers who left comments around this coming up short. I really appreciate their comments and helping this video series along!
