# Aktualisieren des vSAN Diskformats (EN)

## Objective

vSAN disks are regularly upgraded with new versions. You need to update the vSAN disk format version to have new features or to maintain compatibility with the versions of your VMware cluster, as described in this article: [Understanding vSAN on-disk format versions and compatibility (2148493)](https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2148493).

**This guide explains how to update the format of your vSAN disks.**

## Requirements

- Being an administrative contact of your [Hosted Private Cloud infrastructure](https://www.ovhcloud.com/de/enterprise/products/hosted-private-cloud/) to receive login credentials
- A user account with access to vSphere as well as the specific rights for NSX (created in the <ManagerLink to="/">OVHcloud Control Panel</ManagerLink>)
- A deployed [vSan cluster](/de/guides/hosted-private-cloud/powered-by-vmware/vmware-vsan.md)

## Instructions

Log in to your vSphere interface using [this guide](/de/guides/hosted-private-cloud/powered-by-vmware/vsphere-interface-connexion.md).

In the vSphere interface, click on your `Cluster
` to the left, go to the `Configure
` tab, choose `Services
` in the **vSAN**
 section and click `PRE-CHECK UPGRADE
`.
