Issue/Introduction
VSAN cluster has issue where a VM went into an orphan state. When trying to navigate to the datastore to reregister the VM, could not find the home folder for the VM.
vSAN health service is reporting:

Site latency health yellow
Checks the worst network latency between any two hosts in data sites and the witness. NOTE: This check will skip the pair of hosts failing in vSAN basic connectivity (small ping) test.
