VsanPerformOnlineHealthCheck(vsanPerformOnlineHealthCheck)

An asynchronous API for performing vSAN online health checks. This API generates a task to collect current vSAN environment settings and performance data driven by a manifest, and send the collected data to VMware for data streaming analysis. It then queries the analyzed results back to help customer have the best vSAN practices. This task usually takes about 1 minute for a typical 4 nodes vSAN cluster. However, this task can take more time based on the size of vSAN cluster, the size of queried data driven by manifest and the customer Internet speed.
