### Cluster information:

Kubernetes version: 1.17.3-00  
Cloud being used: (Vmware VM)  
Host OS: Ubuntu 18.04.4 Bionic

Hi,

We’ve been dealing with static persistent volume (vmfs volume/vmdk) for about a month. Since our Storage does not have VSAN support, we remain in the latest storage policy creation phase in github documents. In creating a storage policy, VSAN also does not appear as a datastore because we do not have datastore selection compatibility.

I’m so confused!

I’d appreciate it if I could get answers and help from you.

1- Documents contained old Kubernetes versions. Is there anyone who could share documents for Kubernetes v1.17.3-00?  
2- Could you share documents about how to use vSphere Storage on Kubernetes without VSAN?

Thanks,  
Regards,
