This weekend I updated all of my ESX servers to build 84374. The last one I did now refuses to connect back to virtualcenter. I am able to SSH to the box and I have tried rebooting, restarting the VC agent and restarting hostd. Any ideas?
you may want to try to install the VC agent manually, then try adding it back.
Tried to reinstall the VC agent. Still no Dice.
Double checked my DNS settings. All looks good.
what error message are you getting when trying to add the host into VC?
Here is the error message:
Unable to access the specified host. It either does not exist, the server software in not responding, or there is a network problem.
Also unable to directly connect with the virtualcenter client or open the webpage to the box.
here is a bit from my hostd.log when I restarted it.
