Problems with VMware virtual Center 2.5.0 and ESX 3.5.0, 123630 posted: Jun 8, 2009 9:15 AM

I lost connection to my SAN over the weekend and rebooted my entire stack. Everything came back to life except one ESX host server is grayed out and shows disconnected in my Virtual Center cluster. If I right click on the host everything is grayed out except "Add Alarm, Add Permission, Report Summary, and Report Performance". I was able to connect directly to the host and was able to start the VM machines on the host but my question is how do I get it working back in my Virtual Center cluster? I have no option to remove it or connect to it.

Thanks

try to restart your vCenter Server Service


....also, you may want to restart hostd and/or the vCenter Management agents on the Host in question for the service console

service mgmt-vmware restart
service vmware-vpxa restart
