Q: What does the vSAN: Advanced (https) connectivity check do?
Hosts need to call peer vSAN API on inter-host connection, so the inter-host connectivity is critical for vSAN API call, this health check is to check the connectivity state between hosts in a cluster and report errors if any connection between any hosts is not healthy.
The state 'healthy' means that a host can call peer vSAN API via a connection with a peer, otherwise, the connection between host and peer is marked as unhealthy and health reports errors and remediation for users.
Note: This check is only applicable when File Service is enabled
This health check will skip the witness node, metadata node, and remote nodes of other clusters.
Q: What does it mean when it is in an error state?
It means that a host cannot call vSAN API with a peer.
Q: How does one troubleshoot and fix the error state?
Many reasons can lead to the host not being able to call peer vSAN API, this health check will recommend different remediations.
