The message "No Traditional Servers Available for the Selected Datacenter" indicates that all the hosts in the selected datacenter are part of vSAN-enabled clusters.
In VMware vRealize Operations, traditional cost drivers apply only to server hardware that is not managed within a vSAN environment. When vSAN is enabled on clusters, the cost drivers and cost calculations for hardware are managed differently because vSAN considers storage costs as part of the software-defined infrastructure, which changes the way costs are modeled and amortized.
Key Points:
* Traditional Hardware vs. vSAN:
* Traditional cost drivers are associated with non-vSAN environments (e.g., standard storage and compute hardware costs).
* For vSAN-enabled clusters, cost calculations must include software-defined storage and are therefore managed under different settings.
* Message Meaning:
* The error clearly indicates that there are no traditional servers detected because all hosts are part of vSAN-enabled clusters in the datacenter.
* Resolution:
* If the administrator wants to update cost drivers for these clusters, they must refer to vSAN- specific cost models in vRealize Operations.
* Navigate to the vSAN cost settings section in the interface to input appropriate cost metrics.
