Explanation
For a vSAN Express Storage Architecture (ESA) cluster, all hardware components - including storage devices, controllers, and NICs - must be certified and listed on the VMware Compatibility Guide (VCG) for ESA. This ensures the components meet the required performance and reliability standards for vSAN ESA operations. ESA does not use traditional RAID controllers or HDDs; it relies on NVMe-based flash devices configured in passthrough mode with verified ReadyNode profiles.
