The design requires four hardware corrections. First, RAID-6 with FTT=2 requires six fault domains or hosts because RAID-6 erasure coding must place data and parity components across enough independent hosts to tolerate two failures. Therefore, four hosts are insufficient and the host count must increase to at least six. Second, Storage Traffic Separation requires sufficient physical NICs to support separate storage and non-storage traffic paths. With two distributed switches and redundant uplinks, the design must increase to four 25 GbE NICs per host. Third, vSAN ESA requires at least 128 GB of host memory; the provided 96 GB is below the minimum. Fourth, NVMe devices attached to a SATA/SAS/NVMe Tri-mode controller are not supported for vSAN storage pools. The documentation states that vSAN supports SAS and SATA devices on Tri-mode controllers, but NVMe devices must be directly connected to PCIe or use a supported NVMe design. The CPU count does not need to increase because 24 cores satisfies the stated vSAN ESA minimum in the referenced design guidance.
