How to bring Storage Providers online on my Azure Vmware solution systems

hi Nithin Nambiar & thx for sharing urs issue here at Q&A portal,

If all IOFilter Providers are showing Offline across the cluster, this is usually not something you can bring online manually from vCenter. In AVS, these providers are managed by VMware/vSAN services, and there isn't a 'Start' or "Enable" button in the UI. check a few things Is vCenter otherwise healthy, with no vSAN Health or Skyline Health alarms? Are all ESXi hosts connected and healthy? Have there been any recent host maintenance, upgrades, or certificate changes? Does Synchronize Storage Providers change anything, or do they remain Offline?

Whether the VMware Storage Lifecycle Management and related vCenter services are healthy. In AVS, though, many of these components are managed by Microsoft, so customers have limited control. If all providers remain Offline after synchronization and the cluster is otherwise healthy, I'd open an Azure support request. This may require Microsoft/VMware to investigate the backend SMI-S/VASA provider registration.

I'd include AVS private cloud name + vCenter version & region + timestamp when the providers went Offline and whether this affects all hosts or only specific ones a screenshot (like the one above)...

Since this is AVS, I wouldn't recommend trying to re-register or modify the providers manually unless Microsoft specifically instructs you to do so.

rgds,

Alex
