After a recent power outage our VCHA cluster got corrupt. They would not talk together on vcha network and I lost access to vcsa. After doing some investigating we did some commands to make the one that had the vcsa IP address for web access (main vcenter IP). Ran a couple commands to make that vm the primary vcha-reset-primary, then collapse the vcha with vcha-destroy. We rebooted the remaining vm and it looked like it was going to work. The VM had two ip address but still nothing. Can not access anything. My question is can I just turn this vm off and reinstall vcenter server appliance and add the hosts to the new vcenter then delete the old one?
Thanks
I would not suggest reinstalling if you have DVSwitch, vsan, nsx or other solutions tied up to vcenter
do you have valid VAMI backups?
You can take a snapshot of existing vcsa and remove network card - attach another network card
check the ip address from console using ifconfig or correct the gateway from dcui of vcsa

I have a VEEAM backup available. I have not tried VAMI. I will try what you suggested.
