Hi all,
I upgrade 4.1u3ESX to 5.0u3ESXi was a Success but it fails to connect to vCenter5.
1. yes the host pings.
2. There is no webui to the host
3. ssh works to the host.
4. vCenter nor the vsphere client can connect.
5. host has been powered down/up, restarted, management agents are running.
(hostd will not stay running) it will start then then stop.
6 reinstalled the upgrade at the host. no change,
7.~ # /etc/init.d/hostd status
hostd is not running.
~ # /etc/init.d/hostd start
[306534] Begin 'hostd ++min=0,swap,group=hostd /etc/vmware/hostd/config.xml', min-uptime = 60, max-quick-failures = 1, max-total-failures = 1000000, bg_pid_file = ''
hostd started.
