Manage a
vSAN
Cluster

You can activate
vSAN
when you create host clusters or enable
vSAN
on existing clusters. When enabled,
vSAN
aggregates all local storage disks available on the hosts into a single datastore shared by all hosts.
You can run these commands in the
ESXi Shell
for a host, or the command affects the target host that you specify as part of the ESXCLI connection options.
  1. Join the target host to a given
    vSAN
    cluster.
    esxcli vsan cluster join --cluster-uuid <uuid>
    The UUID of the cluster is required.
  2. Verify that the target host is joined to a
    vSAN
    cluster.
    esxcli vsan cluster get
  3. Remove the target host from the
    vSAN
    cluster.
    esxcli vsan cluster leave
