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.
  • Check the health of the cluster.
    See "Check vSAN Health" in
    Administering VMware vSAN
    .
  1. Remove the failed host from the cluster.
  2. Expand the cluster to add the new host to the cluster.
vSAN automatically rebuilds the stretch cluster.
