Managed Object Description

This managed object consolidates vSAN Health APIs that operate on a single ESXi host, i.e., the APIs in this Managed Object do not correlate health among multiple nodes in a vSAN cluster. Typically this level is not very useful for direct user consumption, and the cluster level APIs should be used instead. The cluster level APIs build upon the APIs in this Managed Object. All information retrieved is as seen by this host, which under network partitions is not the global view.
The ManagedEntity can be accessed with MOID of 'ha-vsan-health-system', through vSAN service at at ESXi host side.

VsanHostRepairImmediateObjects(repairImmediateObjects)

When the health check for vSAN object health test detects issues, this API can be used to repair the objects immediately. the result would return objects in three lists the queuing repairing list: contains objects which are queuing for repairing the failed repaired list: contains objects which fails to repaired the not in queue list: contains objects which are not in repairing queue due to out of slot even though the objects are in the queuing repairing list, it does not mean the repair process is done. The completing time for repairing all of objects is unpredictable and depends on vSAN backend.
