After vSAN File Services has been deployed, the editable settings are primarily related to the File Service domain network configuration. The vSAN File Service workflow allows modification of primary IP addresses, static IP addresses, and DNS names. These values define how the file service endpoints are presented to clients and how file server instances are resolved on the network. The File Service domain can be adjusted by editing the network configuration and adding or removing IP addresses as needed. The Active Directory domain is not treated as a simple post-deployment editable field because changing domain membership can disrupt authentication, permissions, and file-share access. The Active Directory username and Organizational Unit are part of the directory integration and domain-join configuration, but they are not the three standard settings identified for modification after the initial File Services configuration. Therefore, the three modifiable settings are Static IP addresses, Primary IP addresses, and DNS names. Reference topics: vSAN File Service, Edit File Service Domain, File Service Network Configuration, Active Directory Integration.

In vSAN ESA, the observed three disk stripes are expected behavior for objects using RAID-1, even when the storage policy shows “Number of disk stripes per object = 1.” The vSAN policy rule defines the minimum number of capacity devices across which each replica of an object is striped, and the default value is 1. However, VMware documentation explicitly notes that objects in a vSAN ESA cluster with RAID-0 or RAID-1 configuration have 3 disk stripes, even if the default storage policy defines only 1 disk stripe. Therefore, the three stripes are not caused by site mirroring itself, nor by the VM having three objects. Site mirroring controls placement across the preferred and secondary sites in a stretched cluster, while Failures to tolerate with RAID-1 controls local host/device protection. The behavior is also not evidence that a VM-level policy override exists. The datastore-level policy can still be applied correctly; ESA’s internal RAID-1 object layout uses three stripes as part of its optimized storage architecture.
