STORAGE_FAULT / ESXi host has no PE configured

[airaqi]

Hi,

Even though the PE is accessible, the ESXi server claim that PE is not configured.

2023-05-10T10:02:49.307Z error vvold[2099648] [Originator@6876 sub=Default] VasaOp::IsSuccessful [#18566]: bindVirtualVolume transient failure: 22 (STORAGE_FAULT / ESXi host has no PE configured that can reach a VVol / )

[root@esx-gdc-n62:/var/log] esxcli storage vvol protocolendpoint list
   Type: SCSI
   Accessible: true
   Configured: true

- VASA provider registered and online.

- Certificates installed and all is ok.

I know that reboot will solve the problem but is there any solution to avoid rebooting the ESXi server?

Thanks

Hi,

A rescan of storage will not do the trick here, so your best option is to reboot the server.

- Tried to restart the ESXi server but didn't help.

What storage are you using?

[airaqi]

The problem is not with the storage.

on my network, I have two clusters:

- One cluster with two ESXi servers.

- One cluster with one ESXi server.

Only the first cluster is not working.

The second one works perfect

I could provide 100 reasons for Storage work in a particular Cluster and doesn't work on another Cluster.

But since I know better, it is not the Storage, it's pointless to provide any further support.
