A few days before VMworld 2013 Barcelona, I started the VSAN.info<\/a> website to documents VSAN configurations, list whitepapers, redirect people to VSAN resources, and VSAN implementations. And it’s been a bit quiet since then on the surface. Well I’ve been working in the background to push a new feature, the VSAN Community HCL.<\/p>\n

One of the features I wanted to add to the VSAN.info<\/a> site from the get go, was a VSAN Community Hardware Compatibility List<\/strong>. Equipment and configurations on this list would not appear on the official VMware VSAN HCL<\/a>. Now starting such a list is a very large endevour, that needs dedicated resources, probably lots of management, user management, password management, moderators. In short a lot of things to make sure that I don’t find the time to keep it up and going. Good will in new projets only take it so far, before it would have died slowly… So why try to re-invent the wheel ?<\/span><\/p>\n

What other better place to host such a VSAN Community HCL<\/strong> than the offical VMware Community website<\/a> in the Community Hardware Software forum. Yes<\/strong>, now you can head to the Community Hardware Software (CSHWSH) forum and check out which hardware & software can be used to run a VSAN environment.<\/p>\n

Here is the direct link to View All the entries for VSAN Beta<\/a> on the CSHWSW Forum. You can then select the Infrastructure to list all the vSphere 5.5 or VSAN Beta entries<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"CSHWSW<\/a><\/p>\n

When you click on the entry you will be able to see the Configuration Tested field that explains how I have designed and configured this small VSAN node.<\/p>\n

\"CSHWSH<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It is now time to populate the Community Hardware Forum with your VSAN Configs.<\/p>\n

This modification of the Community Hardware Software forum, would not have been possible without the help of Corey Romero (@vCommunityGuy<\/a>) and the team managing the Communities Forums, and I also want to Thank John Troyer (@jtroyer<\/a>) and Mike Laverick (@Mike_Laverick<\/a>) that help facilitate my contact with Corey Romero. To all of you… THANK YOU.<\/strong>..<\/p>\n
