host is in a virtual san cluster but does not have virtual san service enabled

[Paul_Sheard]

Hi,

I have deployed a brand new VSAN deployment, 4 hosts, greenfield site so had to follow the bootstrapping document.

https://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/products/vsan/VMware-TechNote-Bootstrapping-VSAN-without-vCenter.pd...

After deploying PSC and VCSA to the vsan datastore, then connecting to the web UI, creating datacenter, creating cluster, enabling VSAN and adding hosts..

I see the error "host is in a virtual san cluster but does not have virtual san service enabled" on all 4 hosts, however health check is all green, and proactive tests all check out green and ok.

any ideas?

Does this appear on only a single host, or multiple hosts?

What version of vSphere/VSAN are you running?

What hardware configuration do your hosts have?

Thanks,

Jase

Hi Jase,

I'm running Cisco ucs (4 hosts for mgmt), I'll be building a further 6 hosts later to play home to Horizon environment..

Latest, versions of vSphere and VCSA (6.1a)

UCS 240 M3S, 256GB RAM, 4 X 10 core Xeon

Jase, I fixed the issue

I basically created a new VSAN cluster and enabled VSAN, then disconnected / removed the hosts from the cluster where they each showed the error. Then I added each host to the new vsan cluster and voila.. no error.

So all good now, thanks for your reply! appreciated
