Issues with vCLS/DRS after Maintenance Mode

Hello, 

Having an issue with HA/DRS/vCLS after a MM event. We MM'd a host in order to update its DNS and add a DNS lookup suffix. After pulling that host out of MM there were many DRS errors (VMs not moving back to the host) and it was determined to reset the vCLS vms. We put the cluser into retreat mode and the vCLS removed as expected. 

When enabling to system managed again it created 1 new vCLS VM but has been stuck on starting (66%) for over 30 min. Is this expected behavior?

No this is not expected behavior. Note that without those VMs that DRS will not work. You could try to enable retreat mode again and disable it to see what happens, if that doesn't fix it I would log a case with support.
