Cause

The issue is caused by a mismatching SSL trust in the vCenter Server lookupservice.

Impact / Risks

Due to the required restart of the vCenter Services to fix trust mismatches in the lookupservice, a downtime is required. Please plan accordingly.

Resolution

Note: Before taking any steps, please ensure to have a fresh backup of the vCenter Server.To resolve this issue, use the lsdoctor tool with the option -t (or --trustfix) to fix the mismatching SSL trust.After using the tool, restart the vCenter services using: # service-control --stop --all && service-control --start --all For further details regarding the lsdoctor tool, please see https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/80469

Workaround

As a workaround you can use VMware PowerCLI to edit the virtual disk configuration (e.g. to increase the disk size)
