Issue


When a VxRail Cluster is Powered-off using the "Shutdown Cluster" button on VxRail Manager GUI, the cluster Powers off successfully but, once the ESXi Hosts are Powered-On, we see that all ESXi Hosts are in Maintenance Mode which results in all VM's seen as inaccessible/invalid.
 
Cause
Resolution
Bring the ESXi Hosts out of maintenance mode, this will bring the hosts back to the VSAN cluster and the VMs will become accessible.
