After you enable Virtual SAN on a cluster, the datastore is not assembled correctly because of a detected network misconfiguration.

Problem

After you enable Virtual SAN on a cluster, on the Summary tab for the cluster the Network Status for Virtual SAN appears as Misconfiguration detected.

Cause

One or more members of the cluster cannot communicate because of either of the following reasons:

  • A host in the cluster does not have a VMkernel adapter for Virtual SAN.
  • The hosts cannot connect each other in the network.

Solution

Join the members of the cluster to the same network. See Configuring Virtual SAN Network.
