vSAN node randomly enters maintenance mode

Hi,

I have a vSAN all-flash cluster made up of 3 nodes and randomly one of the vSAN nodes Maintenance Mode States turns on

[root@dc-esx01:~] esxcli vsan cluster get

Cluster Information

   Enabled: true

   Current Local Time: 2017-07-15T10:49:45Z

   Local Node Type: NORMAL

If I run "esxcli vsan maintenancemode cancel" on the host it comes good for what seems to be a completly random amount of time.

Last time it occurred was 2 weeks ago where it happened 5 times in a day then not again until approx 3hrs ago.

Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated

Please let me know if you require any further information/logs

Hello,

That is a weird one alright.

Are you 100% positive that no-one else could be initiating this via DCUI/SSH?

Attach vmkernel.log, hostd.log, clomd.log and shell.log from today and we can look (likely those in /var/log , if rolled over then the zipped ones from /var/run/log).
