Issue/Introduction

Using the vsphere-csi addon and CNS Cloud Native Storage plugin is not provisioning to the vSAN datastore.

Error:

VSLM task failed

CnsFault error: VSLM task failed

Environment

Resolution

Rebuild the FCD catalog.

• Identify one host in the cluster for the vSAN datastore, which we are rebuilding the FCD catalog.
  cd /vmfs/volumes/<vSAN_datastore>/
• SSH into that host and stop the hostd process.
  /etc/init.d/hostd stop
• Move the existing FCD catalog to the backup folder [or delete].
  mv catalog catalog_backup
  
• Start Hostd
  /etc/init.d/hostd start
• Go to host MOB and invoke the ReconcileDatastoreInventory_Task with the datastore ID for the vSAN Datastore.

 

For ESXi:

Enable the MOB:
The Managed Object Browser is disabled by default in vSphere 6.x

To reconcile the managed virtual disk inventory from a Web browser, use the VMware Managed Object Browser to invoke a Web Services method.

HostReconcileDatastoreInventory_Task
HostScheduleReconcileDatastoreInventory

Example:

• Connect to https://server/mob and click Content.
  
• Click the link associated with the property rootFolder, then click the link associated with the property childEntity.
• Click one of the links associated with the property dataStore. Select the datastore that holds the missing managed virtual disk.
• Select and copy the value of the Managed Object ID at the top of the window. For example,
  datastore1.
• Click the Home tab to return to the Service Instance, then click Content.
• Click vStorageObjectManager.
• Click ReconcileDatastoreInventory_Task.
  A pop-up window opens to show the method.
• In the Value element, replace MOID with the managed object reference of the data store that holds the missing managed virtual disk.
• Click Invoke Method.
• Click the link in the value field.
  This action opens the Task object that tracks the progress of the reconciliation operation.
• Click info.
  If the value of the state field is "success", the reconciliation is done.
