I am getting the following error
"Unable to contact the specified host (SERVERNAME). This might be because the host is not available on the network, there's a network configuration problem, or the Management services on the host are not responding.
ESX host is a 3.0.2 build 52542. Virtual Center is running 2.5 update 4...Update 4 was just applied over the weekend.
What I have tried so far:
I can ping the VC server from the host having the issue by short name, FQDN and IP and vica-versa
Stopped and restarted the vmware-vpxa agent as well as the mgmt-vmware agent
Rebooted the host
Restarted Virtual Center.
Installed the upgrade VPXA agent locally on the host (Vmware-vpxa-2.5.0-147697)
Removed the host from VC tried to add it back in
Plenty of diskspace.
None of this is working for me. This just happened, as I said, we applied Update 4 over the weekend. A colleague of mine was simply trying to register a VM to this host, and it went disconnect.
Ideas...suggestions, up to about 3 hours ago it was FINE!
