Article Content


Symptoms



VxRail: vSAN Health Service - Network Health - Unexpected vSAN cluster members

On the vSphere Web client we see the following message:

vSAN Health Service - Network Health - Unexpected vSAN cluster members

Cause

  • External vCenter (windows)
  • Witness host is exiting 
  • Stretched cluster 

Resolution


Please check the following items: 
  • Check for any node not in-connected state (Most probably will not find any) .
  • Check the witness. If it is "not connected" and/or "not responding" then connect it back to vCenter. The error should disappear along with any other errors
  • If the witness is connected, try disconnecting it and re-connect it back
  • Retest the health page 

Note : if you find a warning about  No datastores have been configured . Unfortunately, there is no supported way of disabling this warning at the present time. This will be resolved in a future release of vSphere.
