After reviewing detailed error logs, our engineers identified an error indicating a vSan connection issue to an unrelated cluster inside vCenter.
The offending host was put into maintenance mode and restarted. After this action, vCloud Director was able to communicate with T0 and T1 storage for new provisions in vCenter.
No customer services went offline during this time.

Update
The change made earlier was successful and vCloud director is available for customers.
vApps and VMs are still failing provisioning on T0 and T1 storage policies, existing vApps and VMs are unaffected.
All customer workloads are functioning as normal outside of new VM creation on the T0 and T1 storage policies.
We are continuing to work with the vendor.

Update
After working with VMware/Broadcom today as mentioned in the latest update, we need to bring down the customer WebUI for vCloud Director to make modifications to the back end and resolve the issues we are seeing with storage policy availability.
Customer VMs and vApps will remain online during these works.
We will commence this work now.

Update
As this is ongoing, in an attempt to resolve the issues we are seeing, our vendor has asked us to upgrade our version of vCenter.
