Hope you are doing all great, for today’s post I wanted to put together some of the commands/troubleshooting I’ve had used with VMware vSAN,

What a single partitioned node looks like:

~ # esxcli vsan cluster get

 Local Node UUID: 507e7bd5-ad2f-6424-66cb-1cc1de253de4
 Local Node State: MASTER
 Local Node Health State: HEALTHY
 Sub-Cluster Master UUID: 507e7bd5-ad2f-6424-66cb-1cc1de253de4
 Sub-Cluster Backup UUID:
 Sub-Cluster UUID: 52e4fbe6-7fe4-9e44-f9eb-c2fc1da77631
