Hey, hope you are doing fine?
Can you give a little more information?

- Which is ESXi version?
- Are you able to log via SSH?
- Are you able to log in via remote console (iLO/iDRAC/UCS)
- If you can log in, can you please run services.sh restart  this will restart esxi host's management agents, but will not affect VMs.

Hello nachogonzalez!

I'm able to log in using SSH or iDRAC but restartingthe services with the command from you did not helped.

[nachogonzalez]

Okay, good.
Can you please share vmkernel.log output

Warm regards

[mitchets3]

Sure! Here it is.

So, i reviewed your logs they are flooded with SCSI sense codes

The SCSI Sense codes lead me to think there is some issue with the storage arrays/disks you are using

Does your host use directly attached storage? Are you consuminh a remote storage?
Can you please run hadware diagnosis on those disks?

[mitchets3]

Hello nachogonzalez,

It's attached storage. You were right, one of the disks in RAID was degraded. I run it without it to check if it will resolve the issue but unfortunately not :c

[nachogonzalez]

Can you please provide an output of vmkernel.log after the disk was removed?

[mitchets3]

Here it is

Thanks & BR

Is this a standalone host?

Seems to me that you will have to rebuild that array.
