Hi,
I’ve been working on adding VSAN support for CloudStack. It’s currently in
final stages of testing, after which I’ll be raising a PR for merge into master
branch. Expecting it by next week.
This support means, VSAN datastore would be supported as full fledged primary
storage in CloudStack, without requiring any traditional datastores at all.
Yes, its possible to run a cluster with only VSAN.
The “unmanaged storage”, indicates that CloudStack would *not* be managing
storage backend (to create/delete a LUN on VSAN) corresponding to each volume
on VSAN storage system.
Hope that clarifies your question.
Regards,
Sateesh

Fellow users,
I have seen Sateesh's slides from ApacheCon but I did not see the demo.
What support for VMware VSAN exists today? Is this alpha quality or perhaps
something more usable? What does Sateesh mean when he says "only unmanaged"
storage is an option - what restrictions does this put on usage? Is it
possible to run a cluster with only VSAN storage or do we need some traditional
datastores too?
Thanks,
rfx.
