Permissions lost after reboot

[bsbozzy]

Hi,

I have an install of ESXi 5 on a DL380G6, added server to domain fine, esx admins group adds automatically, works fine.

If I add another group, it works up until the server is rebooted, then the group is removed from the permissions tab. I have tried several groups and the same thing happens.

If I change the advanced setting under Config>Host Agent>Plugins>hostsvc>esxadminsgroup to another group, it remains after a reboot, as well as the esx admins group, if I then change it back the group is lost after a reboot.

Is there a fix for this?

Thanks.

ESXi works in RAM and configuration data are not saved real time on the banks.

Wait at least 1h before reboot the host.
