The purpose of this KB is to explain the potential vSAN data inconsistency that occurs in VMware vSAN 7.0U1-7.0U1P02 and the related vSAN critical health alert displayed in vCenter Skyline Online Health Check on exposed vSAN version.

Unable to start vSAN daemon epd liveness service due to a corrupt scratch partition.

VxRail Manager is not properly handling resources, and may cause a vCenter crash.

VxRail Manager Appliance View shows "No Hosts Available" when bandwidth throttling is changed from the default advanced setting to NONE.

Multiple hosts seeing high CRC errors leading to vSAN latency.

Due to a virtual machine (VM) Guest OS setting for the VxRail Manager VM in VxRail releases 7.0.010 and the way vCenter identifies the Guest OS a list of VM warnings is triggered while performing compute vMotion. The warnings do not prevent manual or automated DRS vMotion.

Disk replacement might fail as new disk was not discovered.

Due to a known VMware issue in the virtual storage area network (vSAN) Witness, the internal OEM license of the vSAN Witness becomes unavailable. This leaves the Virtual Witness host in an eval/expired licensing state. This affects VxRail stretched clusters upgrading from 4.5.xxx and 4.7.xxx to 7.0.xxx, no known VMware and VxRail release contains a fix.

When a Dell VxRail system was previously upgraded from 4.5.xxx to 4.7.xxx to 7.0.0xx. There is a known VMware vCenter upgrade issue causing upgrade failure to 7.0.10x. The VMware fix is incorporated in 7.0.130 enabling this upgrade path.

Event code: VXR500PDR1116 This event code indicates "Drive <number> is removed."
