Veeam VMware: Virtual SAN Health Alarm 'Software state health'

Veeam.Virt.Extensions.VMware.VSAN.VMCCR.VirtualSANHealthAlarmSoftwarestatehealth (UnitMonitor)

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

This monitor tracks the Virtual SAN Health Alarm 'Software State Health'.

Causes

The purpose of the Software State Health check is to verify whether the vSAN cluster has software issues that prevent it from using the physical disk.

For more information on the Physical Disk Health - Software State Health check, see this VMware KB article.

Resolutions

Check the amount of memory available on each ESXi host in the cluster. If memory consumption is too high, this could be the reason of the health check failure. In this case, try adding more memory to the affected host. For more information on checking ESXi host memory usage, see this VMware KB article.

For all other possible causes of the health check failure, VMware recommends that you contact VMware Support.

For more information on troubleshooting Virtual SAN issues, see VMware Docs.
