Config a VCF (vSAN ESA) host the Easy Way

A while ago i created: Config vSAN ESA host or VCF ESA vSAN Host the easy way with Config-VSAN-ESA-VCF-Lab-Host Script.

Sow it’s time for a new updated version.

What does the script now:

✅ Disable ipv6

✅ Set DNS domain name

✅ Rename local datastore

✅ Configure NTP

✅ Installs the vSAN ESA Hardware Mock VIB

✅ Installs the Synology NFS Plug-in for VMware VAAI

✅ Installs the Realtek Network Driver for ESXi more information here
I use the 10Gtek 1.25/2.5/5/10GBase-T SFP+ RJ-45 CAT.6a Copper Transceiver on the MS-A2

✅ Configure vSAN DOMNetworkSchedulerThrottleComponent

✅ Generate new certificate on the ESXi host (for the VCF verification check)

✅ Ask are you running Miniforum MS-A2(AMD) host & Then Disable apichv

✅ Enable Memory Tiering

You need to download the vibs separately!
For the installs put the vib’s in the same map as the script
