Hello Colleagues,
I ran into a problem that after some time ESXi host to stop responding when you try to connect to it for management. I can not access directly to the host via vSphere client, ssh, and even from console of this host.
In what may be a problem?
Hi, have you checked the firewall configuration?
Of course, it was first thing that I check. All need ports are open.
It's strange that I can not connect from the console of this host.
loss of access does not happen immediately, but after a while
Try restarting the Management Network and agents of this host
You would obviously need to connect to the console directly or via ILO
Are there still VMs on this host, and are they accessible?
Please award points for helpful/correct answers
>> You would obviously need to connect to the console directly or via ILO
But I can`t connect to console. When I put in login and pass, and press "enter", window just hang.
Probably is a host's problem.
Restart the server and collect all the logs you can after reboot.
Can you tell me what kind of log you want to see?
