Dell Unity: VASA Certificate Renewal Required
Summary: The VASA certificate has expired and cannot be regenerated from the Unity side. A vSphere administrator must generate a new VASA certificate. After the new certificate is created, the vCenter Server must establish a new SSL connection and register the updated certificate with the VASA Vendor Provider (VP). ...
Symptoms
The VASA certificate has expired, resulting in VASA Provider communication or registration issues.
Cause
The issue is caused by the expiration of the VASA certificate. Since Unity does not support generating or renewing the VASA certificate, the expired certificate cannot be replaced from the storage array.
Resolution
Engage the vSphere administrator to generate a new VASA certificate through vCenter. Once the certificate has been created, re-establish the SSL connection between vCenter Server and the VASA Vendor Provider (VP), and register the new certificate. After successful registration, verify that the VASA Provider is online and communicating normally with vCenter.
