vSAN Cluster will not come back after a cluster shutdown
All hosts in the cluster return "vSAN Clustering is not enabled on this host" when "esxcli vsan cluster get" is run
[root@esxi1:~] esxcli vsan cluster get
vSAN Clustering is not enabled on this host
VMware vSAN (All Versions)
The Shutdown Cluster Wizard doesn't disable vSAN. This is due to a user clicking on "Turn Off vSAN" mid-cluster shutdown due to a potential error in the "Shutdown Cluster" wizard thinking this will complete the cluster shutdown.
Follow workaround form KB vSAN shows as disabled in vCenter upon powering up the cluster after a planned cluster shutdown
To resolve the issue with vSAN being disabled in vCenter only follow the below steps:
1) Navigate to vSAN Cluster > vSAN > Services and click on "Turn On vSAN"
2) Run the below commands on all hosts in the cluster
esxcfg-advcfg -s 0 /VSAN/DOMPauseAllCCPs
esxcfg-advcfg -s 0 /VSAN/IgnoreClusterMemberListUpdates
3) Once vSAN is re-enabled vSAN > Services will show the "Shutdown Cluster" wizard is out of sync with the cluster
4) Reboot vCenter to get vCenter and ESXi back in sync with each other
To resolve this issue with vSAN being disabled in both vCenter and ESXi follow the below steps:
1) Navigate to vSAN Cluster > vSAN > Services and click on "Turn On vSAN"
2) Run the below commands on all hosts in the cluster
esxcfg-advcfg -s 0 /VSAN/DOMPauseAllCCPs
esxcfg-advcfg -s 0 /VSAN/IgnoreClusterMemberListUpdates
3) Once vSAN is re-enabled in vCenter run "esxcli vsan cluster get
" to check if vSAN was enabled on the hosts.
4) Once vSAN is enabled both in vCenter and ESXi, vSAN > Services will show the "Shutdown Cluster" wizard is out of sync with the cluster
5) Reboot vCenter to get vCenter and ESXi back in sync with each other
