RAID5 Issue

Hello -

I have a six node VxRail - all-flash - with advanced VSAN license and I am unable to create a VSAN storage policy for RAID5. The error indicates I need all-flash. All nodes are identical all-flash nodes. Thoughts?

I would recommend you to check if the vSAN license actually is Advanced Edition via vSphere Client GUI.

If it's OK, then you should check if all the nodes regard it as Advanced license which enables allflash and erasurecoding by command below

# esxcfg-advcfg -g /VSAN/LicensedFeatures

If both are OK, you should issue command below on all the node and check if all the disk are detected as SSD or not.
If any one of them is displayed as Is SSD: false, the whole vSAN cluster would be recognized as Hybrid.

# esxcli vsan storage list
