Problem with vSphere and hosts

Alvarito_CODE — Thu, 16 Nov 2017 10:53:14 GMT

Hi,
I have problems with vSphere vCenter Server and with hosts in this.

I have 2 hosts inside of vShpere vCenter Server and in each one i have many VM

When i turn off a VM and then i try power on from the vCenter give me a error: Refused Connection but if i entry in host with vShpere Client i can power on the VM.

Does anyone know why?

Thank you!

Please provide more details,

vSphere version,

Screen shot of the error

HA enabled ? status of admission control ?

Windows based vCenter or vcsa ?

it looks like the vCenter workflow manager service is not working.

Hi,

Well, its mostly seen in VCSA6.0 (vCenter appliance)

Resolution is to check the status of VMware vCenter Workflow Manager Services on VCSA

First verify the disk size by using df -vh and see if there any disk which is about to 100%

Most of the time disk is full at /storage/log. Try to clear the space and then try to start the workflow service by using below steps.

Please find below steps to follow

1) Login to VCSA via Putty.

2) shell.set --enabled True

3) service-control --status vmware-vpx-workflow

4) If its showing stop. Start the same by below command

service-control --start vmware-vpx-workflow.

Now try to power on the vm from vCenter.

Yes, the host are connected and running without problems
The license, i dont know because the old system administrator is not working here now. Imagine that is Standard

vSphere Version is 6.0
Ha not enabled.

For the answers and what I read in the help, I think it's because Workflow is not activated. What are the consequences if I activate it?
