VMware vSAN 8.0

This a foundational lab for creating a  standard VMware vSAN 8.0 datastore. We will walk through the initial host networking configuration. Then we will start the vSAN service for the cluster. 

The goal of this lab is to start the vSAN 8.0 service for a existing host cluster. We will also walk through features of vSAN 8.0 including adding and removing vSAN storage contributing hosts from the cluster. This lab will take 55 minutes to complete. The following is a list of the topics covered:

1. Configuring the vSAN network on each ESXi host in an existing cluster (15 minutes)
2. Cluster-level vSAN configuration using the vSphere Client (10 minutes)
3. Add an ESXi host to the vSAN cluster (10 minutes)
4. Remove an ESXi host from the cluster (10 mintues)
5. Disable vSAN on the cluster (10 minutes)

This lab is a nested vSphere 8.0 environment, which includes four ESXi hosts and their underlying networking. Separate networking subnets exist for vSphere management and vSAN services.
