Unprovisionable drive(s) - OneFS v9.2.0.0 Simulator on ESXi v7
Hi,
I installed the OneFS v9.2.0.0 Simulator on ESXi v7 using the OVA and all seemed to install ok as well as the cluster setup. However on the Dashboard I see these warnings:
"Unprovisionable drive(s): 1:bay2-6,16-20,31-35,46-50"
"Node 1 is unprovisioned"
I chose an SSD on the ESXi host during the installation and set the datastore chosen to thin provision. I see 22 disks in the VM (1x 16Gb, 1x 512Mb, 20x 5Gb)
Is there anything that needs to be done for the node to be provisioned ?

Regular OneFS deployments need at least three nodes in order to provide reasonable protection like +2d:1n. The simulator is an exception and mounts /ifs without proper protection, and without building proper node pools and disk pools -- it's for testing after all. No pools means drives and nodes are in "unprovisioned" state; sounds awkward when /ifs is actually usable at the same time, but this makes deploying OneFS demos and tests much easier. Add two more virtual nodes and observe how everything gets provisioned into pools.
Makes sense?

I added 2 more virtual nodes and as you say the unprovisioned warning went away and the pool can now be used. Thanks.
