The correct sequence for restarting a vSAN cluster manually after powering on the ESXi hosts is as follows: Exit all hosts from maintenance mode to ensure they are operational. Then, run the python reboot helper script on only one ESXi host to avoid race conditions and properly recover the cluster. Finally, enable cluster member updates from vCenter Server on all ESXi hosts to ensure they can receive updates and function correctly within the cluster.

When all the hosts are back after powering on, exit all hosts from maintenance mode. If the vCenter Server is powered off, use the following command on the ESXi hosts to exit maintenance mode. esxcli system maintenanceMode set -e false Perform this step on all the hosts. Run the following command only on that host. If you run the command on multiple hosts concurrently, it may cause a race condition causing unexpected results. python /usr/lib/vmware/vsan/bin/reboot_helper.py recover Enable cluster member updates from vCenter Server by running the following command on the ESXi hosts in the cluster.
