Guys,

I don't use vSphere - Win/Hyper-V all the way here - so should I be resetting the VASA certificate when it expires?

The cert expired on the anniversary of the install, back at the end of October, and I have only just noticed the warning in the windows event log :D

If I should be resetting VASA &, presumably, its certificate, can you confirm that

wmic -namespace:\\root\starwind path STARWIND_ClusterService call ResetVASA

Is the way to do it? (Found here)

Thanks
Ben

First, let me explain what exactly VASA is. vSphere Storage APIs for Storage Awareness (VASA) – a set of application program interfaces that supplies information for the VMware ecosystem. This integration enables to configure StarWind Virtual SAN resources as storage containers for virtual machines and provide more efficient management for the architecture simplifying storage provisioning and consumption.
If you do not use any VMware components, no update is needed.

Thought as much - No vSphere, no VASA cert required.

Thanks for the confirmation.
