      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Yes you can connect new VCenter(its shows some warning, ignore that)...  if u get error like this" this host connect in the different VCenter. then you need to restart the &lt;STRONG&gt;vpxa&lt;/STRONG&gt; service in two esx host , if get again error you need to remove the vmware-vpxa in two host, after that it should connect to new VCenter..&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;how to uninstal vmware-vpxa in host:-&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;   1.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;      Disconnect the ESX host in VirtualCenter. Right-click the host and click Disconnect.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;   2.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;      Log in as root to the ESX host using an SSH client.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;   3.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;      Paste the following string of commands into the SSH session:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;      service mgmt-vmware stop &amp;amp;&amp;amp; service vmware-vpxa stop &amp;amp;&amp;amp; service vmware-vmkauthd stop &amp;amp;&amp;amp; service xinetd restart &amp;amp;&amp;amp; rpm -qa | grep -i vpxa | awk '{print $1}' | xargs rpm -ef $1 &amp;amp;&amp;amp; userdel vpxuser &amp;amp;&amp;amp; rpm -qa | grep -i aam | awk '{print $1}' | xargs rpm -ef $1 &amp;amp;&amp;amp; service mgmt-vmware start &amp;amp;&amp;amp; service vmware-vmkauthd start&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;      Note: This is a concatenated list of commands strung together with the "&amp;amp;&amp;amp;" operator. This is useful in stringing together multiple commands as the next command does not start until the previous one has completed successfully.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;      Here is a description of the commands:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;   4.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;          *&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;            The service mgmt-vmware stop &amp;amp;&amp;amp; service vmware-vpxa stop &amp;amp;&amp;amp; service vmware-vmkauthd stop &amp;amp;&amp;amp; service xinetd restart command stops the management services for the service console.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;          *&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;            The rpm -qa | grep -i vpxa | awk '{print $1}' | xargs rpm -ef $1 command removes the vpxa agent.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;          *&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;            The userdel vpxuser command removes the vpxa user that gets installed once you connect the host to VirtualCenter.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;          *&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;            The rpm -qa | grep -i aam | awk '{print $1}' | xargs rpm -ef $1 command removes the AAM RPM (HA) which gets reinstalled when you configure HA.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;          *&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;            The service mgmt-vmware start &amp;amp;&amp;amp; service vmware-vmkauthd start command following restarts the services.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;          *&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;            The vmware-cmd -l command lets you know when hostd is up and running so you can reattach it to VirtualCenter.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;            Note: When you see a list of virtual machines output, the command sequence is complete.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;   5.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;      Log in to the VirtualCenter Server using VMware Infrastructure (VI) Client.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;   6.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;      Choose the ESX host from the Inventory.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;   7.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;      Right-click on the ESX host and click Connect. This step initiates a re-install of the agent. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;To reinstall the VMware HA components:&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;   &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;   &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;      Log in as root to the ESX service console.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;    Type rpm -qa | grep -i aam&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;   &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;      This returns two packages that are named similar to:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;   &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;          *&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;            VMware-aam-haa-#.#.#-#&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;          *&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;            VMware-aam-vcint-#.#.#-#&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;             &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;   &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;      Remove these packages using rpm -e followed by the name of one of the returned packages. Repeat for both files.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;   &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;      Run the command:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;      rpm -qa | grep -i vpxa&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;      A package named VMware-vpxa-#.#.#-##### is returned.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;       &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;   &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;      Remove this package using rpm -e followed by the name of one of the returned packages.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;   Test adding the host to the newly created Vcenter to see if this has resolved the issue.  &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&amp;amp;cmd=displayKC&amp;amp;externalId=1003714"&gt;Source&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Regards&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Senthil Kumar D&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
