Abstract: The disclosure herein describes converting a disk cluster to a different format. A format conversion instruction associated with a disk cluster is received. A first subgroup of disks of the disk cluster that are the emptiest disks of the disk cluster are identified and all data is evacuated from the first subgroup of disks to other disks of the disk cluster. The first subgroup of disks is reformatted based on the received format conversion instruction. A group of data objects stored in the disk cluster is converted based on the format conversion instruction and the converted group of data objects are written to the reformatted first subgroup of disks. The process iterates through the disks of the disk cluster to reformat all disks and convert all data objects based on the received format conversion instruction. The process reduces the write operations required to convert the format of the disk cluster.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to bootstrapping an encrypted single node VSAN cluster. One method includes receiving a request to create an encrypted VSAN cluster from a single host in a software-defined datacenter, deploying a virtual server on a VSAN datastore of the software-defined datacenter, registering a native key provider (NKP) in the virtual server, creating an empty VSAN cluster encrypted by the NKP, adding the single host to the encrypted empty cluster to create a one-host encrypted cluster, registering a KMIP KMS in the virtual server, switching encryption of the one-host encrypted cluster from the NKP to the KMIP KMS, and adding another host to the one-host encrypted cluster to create the encrypted cluster.
