I suggest using ESXTOP for troubleshooting. Definitely check the metrics %USED, %RDY and %CSTP. Check the link below for more CPU Metrics regarding ESXTOP: http://www.running-system.com/wp-co... See more...

Hello suhag79​ vSphere Essentials Kit or vSphere Essentials Plus Kit licensing limits the number of hosts managed by vCenter Server Essentials to three. The vSAN witness host—virtual appliance or physical—is considered a host in these Essentials licensing bundles. Here is an example of where this would have an impact: • One physical host at the main data center managed by vCenter Server that is licensed with vCenter Server Essentials • Two physical hosts at a remote office running a 2-node vSAN configuration managed by the same vCenter Server • The witness host virtual appliance deployed at the main data center. Even though there are only three physical hosts, a warning message is generated when attempting to add the witness host to the vCenter Server Essentials environment as this is considered four hosts—three physical hosts plus the witness host. Check the licensing guide for more information: https://www.vmware.com/content/dam/digitalmarketing/vmware/en/pdf/products/vsan/vmware-vsan-66-licensing-guide.pdf

Hi @bgibson71 Run the command esxcli vsan cluster get on one of the ESXi hosts and check if Sub-Cluster Member has a value of 3 (2 nodes and witness) members. Also can you verify in which networking mode vSAN traffic is operating? Since version 6.6, vSAN relies on unicast traffic.
