DESCRIPTION

This cmdlet sets vSAN configuration settings for a cluster.





PARAMETERS

-AddSilentHealthCheck <String[]>

Specifies the health checks list you want to add to the silent list.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value None

Accept pipeline input? False

Accept wildcard characters? false



-AllowReducedRedundancy <Boolean>

Allows reduced redundancy state. This optional parameter is applicable to specific vSAN cluster reconfigure

operations that need to migrate data across cluster for changing vSAN disk format. When specified, it might

make the process move lesser data in order to ensure storage object accessibility, and some objects will be

kept at reduced redundancy state, which means at a higher risk in case of a hardware failure during the

migration process. This is applicable to the SpaceEfficiencyEnabled parameter only. The default value is False.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value None

Accept pipeline input? False

Accept wildcard characters? false



-Configuration <VsanClusterConfiguration[]>

Specifies the configurations that you want to modify. This parameter supports OBN based on the names of the

associated cluster. This parameter also directly accepts objects of type Cluster by silently converting them

to the configuration object through ArgumentTransformationAttribute.



Required? true

Position? 1

Default value None

Accept pipeline input? True (ByValue)

Accept wildcard characters? true



-DefaultIncomingChapSecret <SecureString>

Specifies the default CHAP secret for iSCSI targets on this cluster. Applicable when the authentication type

is Chap or MutualChap.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value None

Accept pipeline input? False

Accept wildcard characters? false



-DefaultIncomingChapUser <String>

Specifies the default CHAP user name for the iSCSI targets on this cluster. Applicable when the authentication

type is Chap or MutualChap.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value None

Accept pipeline input? False

Accept wildcard characters? false



-DefaultIscsiNetworkInterface <String>

Specifies the default VMkernel network interface which handles the iSCSI traffic. This can be overridden per

target. It is mandatory if IscsiTargetServiceEnabled is specified as $true. This parameter accepts an object

of type HostVMKernelVirtualNic by silently converting it to the string name by using

ArgumentTransformationAttribute.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value None

Accept pipeline input? False

Accept wildcard characters? false



-DefaultIscsiTargetAuthenticationType <VsanIscsiTargetAuthenticationType>

Required? false

Position? named

Default value None

Accept pipeline input? False

Accept wildcard characters? false



-DefaultIscsiTcpPort <Int32>

Specifies the default network port for the iSCSI targets. This can be overridden per target. If not provided,

the default port 3260 is used. The server automatically opens the firewall for the specified port.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value None

Accept pipeline input? False

Accept wildcard characters? false



-DefaultOutgoingChapSecret <SecureString>

Specifies the default CHAP user secret you want to attach to the initiator. This is applicable when the

authentication type is MutualChap.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value None

Accept pipeline input? False

Accept wildcard characters? false



-DefaultOutgoingChapUser <String>

Specifies the default CHAP user name you want to attach to the initiator. This is applicable when the

authentication type is MutualChap.

Specifies the TRIM/UNMAP for the respective ATA and SCSI protocols. If this setting is switched from disabled

to enabled for any unmap request to vSAN datastore from powered on virtual machines, this will take effect and

succeed immediately. If it is switched from enabled to disabled dynamically, running virtual machines residing

on this vSAN datastore will understand this change until virtual machine rebooting happens. The default value

is False.

-LargeClusterSupported <Boolean>

Enables and disables large cluster supported. If this option is changed before vSAN enabled, it can be applied

at host side immediatelyl. If it is changed on a vSAN cluster, all hosts are required to reboot to apply the

change. After setting this, review the vSAN health check result, which can help to figure out which host

requires rebooting. The default value is False.



Required? false

parameter is zero, then health check is disabled on the cluster. The accepted values are from 15 minutes to

one day (1440 minutes).



Required? false

Position? named
