Issue Creating IsilonSD cluster
Hi,
I'm trying to deploy IsilonSD 3 node cluster with OneFS VM configuration of 2vCPU, 6GB and 6 data disks per node with total cluster capacity of 1152GB which is base minimum supported by IsilonSD Edge Management Server 1.0.0 with OneFS version 8.0.0.1
ESXi Environment:
3 Hypervisor node ESXi ver5.5 with Free 700GB local datastore. Have least of free 30GHz CPU, 16GB RAM on each node.
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
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.

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.
