All shared datastores failed on the host

-
  Sometimes post creating a new cluster or after re-configuring the existing cluster you might get an error on ESXi “All shared datastores failed on the host”  this can happen to you very often if you are running on HPE StoreVirtual VSA. Please follow the below steps to fix this error: 1.     At the very onset, Reconfigure the HA for the cluster. Disable and re-enable HA on Cluster Level or Right Click Host and select Reconfigure for vSphere HA. 2.     If the error still persists, then follow the next steps. 3.     Make sure you migrate all the VMs manually on the other host if the DRS is disabled on the cluster. 4.     If you have any VM running on ESXi local Datastore like HPE StoreVirtual Appliance (VSA) or Backup Proxy VM, ensure to gracefully shut them down. (For How to shutdown HPE VSA gracefully follow this KB ) 5.     Now, put the host in Maintenance Mode. 6.     Right Click Host and Remove from Inventory 7.     After the host is removed, Right Click on the cluster and click A

If you rename the hostname, I recommend performing a Storage vMotion which renames the folder and files of the associated appliance accordingl

  There are two methods to downgrade a VIB or a device driver in ESXi Host. 1.     Uninstall the current or upgraded driver > reboot the host > Install the downgrade driver OR 2.     You may also install the downgrade driver directly using esxcli software vib install command. This will remove the upgraded driver itself. Let's see how to perform downgrades of vib using both methods. You may decide which one you would like to choose. You may also install drivers using Baselines in Lifecycle Manager, which will be covered in later posts. Method 1 : Uninstall the current or upgraded driver > reboot the host > Install the downgrade driver Put the ESXi host in Maintenance Mode. SSH the ESXi host Run this command to uninstall the driver: " esxcli software vib remove -n <vib_name> " Reboot the host Run this command to install the driver: " esxcli software vib install -d /vmfs/volume/datastore/vib.zip "   Reboot the host Run this command to
