VSAN Datastore 0 bytes

[jim33boy]

Hello,

We have a 3 node VSAN cluster on ESXi 6.7. Currently all 3 hosts are in maintenance mode.

We had a clean shutdown for maintenance however on power up , all VMs show as "invalid" and the vSAN datastore shows 0 bytes. The vcenter VM is on one of these 3 hosts.

On each of the 3 hosts, "esxcli vsan health cluster list" shows all green with the exception of the Performance service. The "esxcli vsan storage list" shows that all capacity and cache (SSD) devices are mounted.  It appears that all of the disks and disk groups are fine on each host yet the vsan DS shows as 0 bytes. 

Can anyone advise us on how to move forward and bring the vsan datastore online?

Thank you

Thanks Markey165, Unfortunately neither of those apply. I appreciate your response.

This is no longer an issue and was really never an issue. Hosts were simply in maint mode, removing them solved the issue.  I know less about VSAN than I thought I did
