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.

I enjoyed your series. Just and observation though. I find it ironic that you feel the viewers need to be walked through the basics of installing and configuring an ESXi host. Yet, you feel that they can setup a distributed switch and migrate the hosts from the standard switch.

Hey Eric, Thank you for the comment. It’s comments like these that help the series become better. Clearly what you pointed out was a miss in the series and it could have been better the first time out. However, it’s why I added the video VMware Workstation 17 Nested Home Lab Part 8b: More on Networking to help folks out.
