Problem adding server to VC ha-folder-root

[ThomasNederman]

I have just patched one of my servers usuing the software

after the installation of the patches was finnished, it got stuck at the step "restart server". I thought i could restart the server myself and pressed cancel task.

After the reboot, VC can not communicate with this server any more.

I can connect to the server using VC client. I tried restart the VC server, VC service, the ESX host. When i try to add the host in VC i can see on the VC open to the host that i get the following errormessage

"The specified key, name, or identifier already exist", the target is "ha-folder-root". I tried to remove the vpxuser but i still get the same problem..

VC report errormessage "Unable to access the host, it either does not exist, the server softaree is not responding or there is a network problem"

Anyone have any idea ?

Thanks for any help

Thomas

Thank you very much, tried for hours to search on the internet but could not find anything. But removing the agent worked !
