== VSAN Homelab HCL ==<br />
'''As this is a storage platform where you might end up migrating your homelab production data, keep in mind that by using components not certified by VMware, you can end up in [https://virtualhobbit.com/2016/05/02/my-self-inflicted-vsan-nightmare/ VSAN] [https://www.reddit.com/r/vmware/comments/26zbkb/my_vsan_nightmare/ nightmare]. But YMMV.'''<br />
<br />
<br />
The official VSAN HCL file is available [http://partnerweb.vmware.com/service/vsan/all.json here]. This is a JSON formatted file which is the source of knowledge behind the VSAN Health Check Plugin. This is a good start to finding VSAN compatible hardware, which can be also found on the VMware's official HCL. <br />
