Symptoms

vSAN Health tab shows the following error: "Advanced Virtual SAN configuration in sync"
 

Cause

This issue is reported due to a difference in the ESXi versions or builds on hosts.

Resolution

  1. After configuring a stretched cluster, if this error is reported over the witness appliance. Follow KB 498075 VxRail: After a Stretched cluster is configured, the vSAN health test will fail with "Advanced Virtual SAN configuration in sync" to resolve.
  2. In case this is not a stretched cluster, check that all ESXi hosts have the same version (to identify the version, follow the steps below). If not, upgrade the cluster again to the current version from VxRail Manager. The upgrade script should skip the updated ESXi hosts and upgrade the ones reporting a different version


To check the versions and build numbers, run the following command on each host:

# vmware -vl

The version can also be checked from vSphere by selecting the host and viewing the Summary tab:
