Error pop-up upon initial validation:     Error: Query Inventory     Detail: Not Enough hosts are qualified to deploy the cluster     Message:      Number of hosts required: 3      Number of hosts qualified: 0      Number of hosts with insufficient disks: 5 Thanks, Amarnath

I'm assuming that you have single local datastore of 700 GB capacity per ESXi host.

If yes, you need to use IsilonSD Edge Management Server 1.0.2 with OneFS version 8.1

Then choose "multiple hosts - VMFS - single datastore" configuration for your cluster deployment.

Yes, we have local datastore with least of 700GB on each ESXi host.

We need OneFS version 8.0 to be deployed as our backup infra will not support OneFS ver 8.1.

I have tried installing IsilonSD Edge Management Server 1.0.2 with OneFS version 8.0, but management server 1.0.2 will not support OneFS 8.0 deployment.

So I have to go with IsilonSD Management server 1.0.0 with OneFS ver 8.0.

Ohh in that case you need minimum 5 datastores per ESXi host.

In Management Server 1.0.2 only "multiple hosts(1:1 mapping) - VMFS - multiple datastores(1:1 mapping)" deployment is supported with OneFS ver 8.0.

You'll need minimum 4 datastores for hosting OneFS data disks & 1 datastore for shared boot & journal, total 5 datastores.

Just single datastore is not enough for this deployment.

Thanks.
