VSAN Cluster Shutdown/Startup

Last day of VSAN Training. Learning about some day 2 operations stuff this morning. Went through the high level overview of the process for properly powering down, and powering back up, a VSAN cluster.

VSAN Automated Space Reclamation – Enabling UNMAP/TRIM on VSAN Cluster

Attending some VSAN training this week.

Here is one thing I picked up that I think I may have seen before, but forgot about, and I don’t think it was mentioned in the pre-req material.
