To perform a full health check run the following command :
sudo /opt/vmware/sddc-support/sos --health-check
Or su to root user, cd to /opt/vmware/sddc-support/ and execute ./sos --health-check
The following is a list of the health checks performed as part of --health-check
[VSAN-CHECK, PASSWORD-CHECK, CONNECTIVITY-CHECK, DNS-CHECK, VCF-SUMMARY, NTP-CHECK, COMPUTE-CHECK, ALARM-CHECK, GENERAL-CHECK, GET-SERVER-DETAILS, CERTIFICATE-CHECK, SERVICES-CHECK]
