Two actions that would cause some objects to be currently resyncing are:

• A change to the storage policy is applied to the objects. This action triggers a resynchronization of objects to make them compliant with the new policy settings, such as FTT, RAID level, stripe width, etc. The resynchronization process copies data from one host to another to create or update replicas or parity segments.
• A host failure occurs in the cluster. This action causes some objects to become non-compliant with their storage policy, as they lose one or more replicas or parity segments due to the host failure. The resynchronization process rebuilds the missing components on other hosts in the cluster to restore compliance and availability.References: : VMware vSphere Storage Guide, page 129 : Monitor the Resynchronization Tasks in the vSAN Cluster 1 : VMware vSAN Specialist v2 Exam Preparation Guide, page 13

To restore the health of the vSAN cluster with minimum risk, the vSAN administrator must remove the devices from the storage pool, replace the storage devices, and claim the new devices in vSAN. This is because removing and replacing devices in a storage pool does not affect the availability or performance of the objects stored in that pool. The storage pool automatically rebalances the objects across the remaining devices in the pool when a device is removed, and distributes the objects across the new devices when they are added. This process is faster and safer than removing and re-adding a host to the cluster, which requires resynchronization of all objects on that host4 References: 4: VMware vSphere Storage Guide, page 133 : VMware vSAN Design and Sizing Guide, page 38
