I was trying to mount NFS store using VC wizard which got mounted successfully but when I did refresh it disappeared. I looked at service console but mount was still there. I tried to mount the datastore once again then I started getting error
Creating NAS DATA Store Error during the configuration of the host: failed to lock : /etc/vmware/esx.conf
Then I thought it may have something to with VC so I removed the host from VC and then tried to add it and I am not able to add host back into VC. I tried even login into host directly using VC but still unsuccessful.
Host is out of VC now.
I ran the vmware-cmd -l and I got following error message
/usr/bin/vmware-cmd: Could not connect <path to a file >
(VMControl error -3: Invalid arguments: Failed to connect or login with server.)
I mean what's going on ? Why this started happening all of a sudden. Host version is
VMware ESX Server 3.0.1 build-32039
