Replace a Failed Host in a Stretched VxRail Cluster

If a host or host component in a stretched cluster fails, it is recommended that you replace the host with a new host.

Prerequisites

• Check the health of the cluster.

  See "Check vSAN Health" in Administering VMware vSAN.

Procedure

1. Remove the failed host from the cluster.
   See Remove a Host from a Cluster in a Workload Domain.
2. Expand the cluster to add the new host to the cluster.
   See Expand a Stretched VxRail Cluster.

Results

vSAN automatically rebuilds the stretch cluster.
