Environment

vSAN 7.0

Cause

This problem occurs when the vSAN iSCSI service is unable to get vSAN object information, due to the backing object not being available anymore.

These objects are old offline iSCSI LUNs which are causing the "Unable to extract requested data. Check vSphere Client logs for details" message to appear on vSAN iSCSI configuration page.

Resolution

Resolved in 7.0P09 and later
