Performing a VASA Provider’s certificate replacement after vCenter Server convergence, would result in virtual volumes (vVOLs) going inaccessible from all ESXi host’s inventory.
What causes this? 1. The convergence workflow installs RPMs related to the PSC services which also means a new VMware Certificate Authority (VMCA)instance is created on the embedded VC node. 2. VMCA creates a new VMCA root certificate which in turn is used for future certificate requests that the embedded node handles. 3. While the…
