Hi there.
We are running diff. ESX 3.5 hosts on VC 2.5 splitten into 2 Clusters and on all vm's running on some hosts I can get the console (black) but with an error:
login (username/password) incorrect
On other hosts the console's working ok.
I've checked the patchlevel of the hosts and the "esxupdate -l query" command shows me the same on host with and on hosts without this error.
I've also checked the /etc/vmware/config file and it showns me the same on all hosts.
Any idea here?
Enclosed the ESXUPDATE output, our config and something from /var/log/messages:
