vSAN cluster showing 0 usage

Products

• VMware vSAN

Issue/Introduction

After applying new Cloud Foundation license the vSAN cluster is showing no usage (0 TB) in the Licenses screen.

Environment

vSAN 8.x

Cause

When applying new VCF licenses the vSAN storage capacity fails to update into the configstore, and usage data does not flow to license usage. 

Resolution

Run the attached python script on each host in the cluster.

1. Download the script attached to KB and upload to each host  in the cluster into /tmp.

2. Run the script in an SSH session on the host by executing: python /tmp/remediateLicense.py 

Additional Information

For the license usage showing as 0 TB following upgrade from vSAN 7.x to 8.x please see KB 387458: Assigning license for VSAN shows 0TB usage.
