vSAN Skyline Health reports an error on 'Performance data collection'.

vCenter Reporting Incorrect VSAN Capacity

This behavior is expected when upgrading between major vCenter versions. vCenter Identity Source (IWA) requires vCenter to join Active Directory. The migration between vCenter versions removes this connection. Customer should plan for a service interruption during the deployment/migration of settings for the new vCenter/PSC, and the Identity Source must be configured once the new vCenter/PSC is fully functional. IWA REQUIRES A REBOOT of the vCenter and is not recommended during the VxRail LCM.

Insufficient configured resources to satisfy the desired vSphere HA failover level on the cluster.

After deleting VM from disk, there are VM folders remaining in the data store which could not be deleted manually.
