VC get disconnected

[Vaibhav_shah]

Hi,

I have 2 ESX (3.1) box connected with my VC. last night i have enable Virtualization enabled in BIOS (to create VM with 64bit OS) on both the boxes. Apart from VC (2.5) i am managing ESX through SCVMM also. Since yesterday i made changes in BIOS one of my ESX server start giving me problem with connection. Its get disconnected after every 2-3 min from VC. All the VMs get ON on the server but i could not manage it through VC and so as SCVMM. I have to manually connect the server and its get connected without any problem but after couple of minutes again the same scenario, its disconnected.

Its not really shown any alarm or any kind of network problem too. While in disconnection status i check all the ports in person at switch as well as VC & Sever end and they are in good shape.

ay one pass through any such issue, can any one tell me what could be the problem?

Thanks.

P.S. The problem comes only with one machine out of two.

Hello,

Moved to the ESX 3.0 Forum.

I would restart vmware-hostd on your ESX host as well as check the /var/log/vmware/hostd.log file for any errors.
