My esxi host management sit on 10.0.0.x/24 this is stretched.
ESXi host management on AZ1 IP addresses – 10.0.0.101 – 10.0.0.103 – VLAN 10
ESXi host management on AZ2 IP addresses – 10.0.0.110 – 10.0.0.113 – VLAN 10
My ESXi host transport tep AZ1 – 172.16.254.X – VLAN 14
My ESXi host transport tep AZ2 – 10.0.3.X – VLAN 3
My ESXi host vmotion on AZ1 – 10.0.4.x – VLAN 9
My ESXi host vmotion on AZ2 – 10.0.6.x – VLAN 6
My ESXi host vSAN on AZ1 – 10.0.8.x – VLAN 8
My ESXi host vSAN on AZ2 – 10.0.5.x – VLAN 5
The json created two fault domains primary and secondary. The hosts in the json were added to the secondary faulty domain.
What my witness esxi host looks like
I used witness separation in the json this added vSan Witness to vmk0 were management is
AZ2 host were added to a sub-cluster to determine it is AZ2
Host tep
Only az 2 hosts were added to the sub cluster
Network pool was created for the az 2 hosts
Different vlans and ip addresses for the two network pools in sddc manager
My vds 1 is where my overlay is
completed task is sddc
My json looks like – vds 2 was required even though not used as i have 4 nics, 2 on each vds. My overlay is setup on vds1.
