vcenter 5.1 / ESXi 5.1 :- nternal error: vmodl.fault.HostCommunication

I seen few thread & KB on this err. No one helped me. So i am reaching you folks again

my issue is very similar to , Re: A general system error occurred: internal error: vmodl.fault.HostCommunication

My vcenter has 3 DCs, only one DC & all Hypervisor  in that dc has this issue.

I tried to connect it again but got the above message in a popup.

Restarted vcenter services

~ # services.sh restart (at host level)

tried restart managenet from console.

I have checked DNS and network settings, everything looks fine

I cant reboot the host since I have production VMs running on it.

Anyone seen this before and came up with a solution?

~ # vmware -v

VMware ESXi 5.1.0 build-2583090

~ #

win2008 r2  (5.1.0 - 1364037)

1. Have tried by adding IP ?

2. Check Vcenter and esxi build numbers compatibility, that vcenter support the version of ESXI you have !

2. on DCUI, DNS resolution is OK from there?

How do i check it ? It was working well so far, so this looks is not the case. Mine is 5.1 vcenter & esxi is 5.1

2. on DCUI, DNS resolution is OK from there?

Yes i did mamt restart & in the test all was ok along with the name of the host.
