Issue/Introduction

  • When migrating VM's after attempting to place a vSAN host into maintenance mode, vMotions fail with an error similar to the following: 

  • The host will not enter maintenance mode due to the failed migrations.

Environment

  • VMware vSAN 7.x
  • VMware vSAN 8.x

Cause

  • The host is in a decommissioned state. 
  • This issue is frequently the result of issuing a maintenance mode task in vCenter, followed by a quick cancellation of the maintenance mode task. The host may end up stuck in vSAN Decom State: 6 where vSAN considers the host to still be in Maintenance Mode.
