I currently have two ESX hosts running 3.0.2 build 61618 and 3.0.2 build 57941. I was managing these using a physical server running VC2.0.2 build-104182.
The VC server is no more and the DBase has been lost. I now wish to create a new installation of VC, and a new database and manage the two ESX hosts. As I cannot unamange the hosts using the VI client, is there a command I can use to unmanage them from the relevant ESX consoles?
After a bit of Googling I have come up with:
service vmware-vpxa stop
...but after trying this (logged on as root) I just get 'bash: service: command not found'
Any help is appreciated.
