Hello Anupreet,

                      1.VI to the host is working?

                      2.What is the version of VC?

                      3.Did you checked the connectivity between Host&VC,ping/telnet ?

                      4.How much time does it take the host to get disconnected from VC? What is the message that you are seing in vpxd&hostd logs exactly after the disconnection?

                      5. Any chance you have Connectivity issues to the storage array?

[Anupreet01]

I was able to right click and reconnect the Host I am thinking of a POssible reason Not sure if the logs are rolled over or Something I have converted the time into UTC but the errors listed above are the only errors and seems like I need to dig in further any help is much appreciated
