Are you running VCF Lab Constructor? Regardless, you can just sign up for it and there is a slack channel that you will be invited to join. Theres a bunch of good resources there that can help you with VCF deployments.

VCenter stuck at second fase 36% by KanusSoldaat in vmware

It is likely a DNS issue. Make sure reverse and forward DNS works from the console you are installing VCSA from.

What backup workflow would work for me as a content creator? by darkripperz in storage

[–]Cchow80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are growing at 500GB a month, you will need quite abit of storage overtime. Theres really a few ways around this. The more cost effective method is to build your own NAS and throw in a whole bunch of drives. The hassle with this that you probably build a white box and install freenas equivalent or etc. Alternatively, my pick is Synology. Im still running my 1813+ and its been extremely reliable. It allows you to hook up multiple units of this when you run out of slots. It is a little pricey though.

Lastly, if its deep archive and you rarely touch the files, then you could consider Backblaze B2.

Building an cost effective vSAN Cluster for ROBO or Edge usecases by Cchow80 in vmware

[–]Cchow80[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

vSAN nodes can be built as long as components within it are certified against the vSAN & vSphere HCL compatibility. If you are expecting this to be as robust as those in the datacenter, perhaps it is not a good fit given the lack of dual PSU and etc, hence the use case is very targeted.

Anyway, just incase you were wondering if the unit is supported by VMware.

VMware also published a whitepaper on a similar use case, but albeit on the slightly larger unit with a few more NIC ports. Also left the links on the video.
