Following the update of my vCenter to 5.5.0 U1, I tried moving the hosts from the Beta Refresh build (1439689) to GA (1623099) and the first host coming out of the upgrade was hanging at this screen "osfs loaded successfully" for hours. I was able to perform a recovery of the host and roll it back to the Beta Refresh build.
I think this may be due to the fact that my Virtual SAN Beta key has expired. So it would appear that if your license expires, you cannot add hosts, upgrade hosts, or manage existing storage policies (following an upgrade of vCenter). So the moral of the story is get a valid key. Which brings me to my next point. I just registered for the Virtual SAN evaluation so I could at least continue working in the short term in my lab. When I look at the Trial for Virtual SAN, it states there is no license key required. I believe that you do in fact need a valid key to make Virtual SAN function, so how am I supposed to evaluate the GA version without a key?
Any help here would be great. Thanks guys!
