running ESXi 5.5.0 1331820, encountered an issue: in vSphere none of the virtual machines have working consoles (just unresponsive black screen, launching it in a separate window produces a static black window) and statistics in 'Resource Allocation' are greyed out and blank.
The virtual machines themselves are working and have no apparent issues. They and ESXi are accessible via network. The host is ssh-able and responds to shell commands.
Tried restarting management agents with '/etc/init.d/hostd restart', '/etc/init.d/vpxa restart' and 'services.sh restart' to no avail, the latter produced the following output:
# services.sh restart

As this machine has some sensitive services, full reboot would be highly undesirable. Is there anything I could try to fix the two mentioned issues?
Thanks.
