array of HostSpec

hostSpecs

Required

Constraints: minItems: 1 maxItems: 64

List of vSphere host information from the free pool to consume in the workload domain

ClusterExpansionNetworkSpec

networkSpec

Optional

This specification contains cluster network configuration.

array of VSANNetworkSpec

vsanNetworkSpecs

Optional

vSAN Network Pool Spec

WitnessSpec

witnessSpec

Optional

Spec contains the Witness host parameters that are part of each stretched cluster

boolean

witnessTrafficSharedWithVsanTraffic

Optional

Witness traffic to be shared with vSAN traffic

boolean

deployWithoutLicenseKeys

Optional

Flag that indicates if the deployment should happen without license keys.

boolean

interRackExpansion

Optional

Is inter-rack cluster(true for L2 non-uniform and L3 : At least one of management, uplink, Edge and host TEP networks is different for hosts of the cluster, false for L2 uniform : All hosts in cluster have identical management, uplink, Edge and host TEP networks) expansion. Required, only if Cluster contains NSX Edge Cluster

boolean

forceHostAdditionInPresenceofDeadHosts

Optional

Use to add host to a cluster with dead host(s). Bypasses validation of disconnected hosts and vSAN cluster health. Review recovery plan VMware Support before using. False if omitted. This property is deprecated and it has no effect when using it.

boolean
