#CRACK VMWARE 6.0 UPDATE#
I found that this issue has actually been resolved in the upcoming release of VSAN 6.2 (vSphere 6.0 Update 2) and you can now create an all-flash diskgroup using ESXCLI which includes do so from the vSphere API as well. Just finished installing all 32GB of awesomeness + 2 SSD (M.2 & 2.5). While setting up my new VSAN 6.2 home lab last night This usually was not a problem but for those wanting to bootstrap VSAN, this would require you to have an already running vCenter Server instance. This turned out to be a bug and the workaround at the time was to add the ESXi host to a vCenter Server which would then allow you to create the all-flash diskgroup.
#CRACK VMWARE 6.0 LICENSE#
Unable to add device: Can not create all-flash disk group: current Virtual SAN license does not support all-flash If you tried to create an all-flash diskgroup using ESXCLI, you would get the following error: One observation that was made by a few folks including myself was that you could not configure an all-flash diskgroup using ESXCLI which was one of the methods that could be used to bootstrap VSAN. With the release of VSAN 6.1 (vSphere 6.0 Update 1), an all-flash VSAN configuration was also now possible in addition to a hybrid configuration which uses a combination of SSDs and MDs.
This is especially useful if you would like to bootstrap vCenter Server on top of VSAN out of the box without having to require additional VMFS/NFS storage. This bootstrap method has been possible and supported since the very first release of VSAN which I have written in great detail here and here.
One of my all time favorite features of VSAN is still the ability to be able to "bootstrap" a VSAN Datastore starting with just a single ESXi node.
