This article describes how to fix the inability to create Virtual Storage Area Network (VSAN) disk groups. It also provides for issues adding disks to existing ones when there are abnormal conditions showing on the host. The specific conditions addressed in this article include "Ineligible" drives that should be available. You may also see an incorrect number of total drives on the host and/or additional disk groups that should not be there.

This KB article discusses how to enable TRIM/UNMAP on all ESXi hosts on the vSAN cluster to reclaim space on the vSAN datastore.

Event code: VXR500PST0128 This event code indicates "No memory is detected."

The Physical view is not working, or nodes are missing from the host page due to incorrect vmk layout.

Node health-check fails for test dcism. Test 'dcism' is a health-check that runs on each VxRail node to attempt to validate the status of the dcism service.

Unable to place any host in the cluster into maintenance mode or vMotion due to certificate issues.

The 'df_service' test checks the local Service datastore available capacity on each node.
