Is BMC up and running?
Are there partner ESXi
host(s) available?
Are you able to connect
with BMC via IPMI
protocol?
Is ESXi host mapped to
hardware host (BMC)
correctly?
What is the status of the
Witness Nodes in the
cluster? None of the
witness nodes identified
are up and running.

Action needed to
resolve
Power on your BMC and
ensure it is connected to a
network this management
node can reach.
Make one or more ESXi
host(s) in cluster available
(not in maintenance
mode) to migrate virtual
machines.
Enable IPMI protocol on
Baseboard Management
Controller (BMC).
The ESXi host is not
mapped to the Baseboard
Management Controller
(BMC) correctly. Correct
the mapping between
ESXi host and hardware
host.
A Witness Node is not
running on an alternate
ESXi host. Power on the
Witness Node on an
alternate ESXi host and
re-run the health check.
One Witness Node must
be running in the HCI
installation at all times.
A Witness Node is not
running on an alternate
ESXi host. Power on the
Witness Node on an
alternate ESXi host. When
you are ready to upgrade
this ESXi host, shut down
the witness node running
on this ESXi host and re-
run the health check. One
Witness Node must be
running in the HCI
installation at all times.
