[Sharekh]

Guys i am having this issue on my HA agent has an error on 1 of my esx host

1. restarted the Management VMware

2.restarted vmware -vpxa

can any one help please

[Troy_Clavell]

are you managing this host with vCenter4 or above? If so, are there any alarms you can acknowledge and reset to green?

[Sharekh]

yes i am managing them through vc 4 but i can t do nothing on esx properties cus its out off sync

any new idea welcome

...but i can t do nothing on esx properties cus its out off sync

I'm not sure what you mean by that statement. However, from the vCenter level, click on the Alarms tab, then the triggered button.  Are there any alarms related to your hosts that you can right click on and "acknowledge" then right click and "reset to green?

Sorry i mean to say there is no Alarm in the task and event logs

but on actual ESX in vcenter it has red alert on it when i go to summary page of that esx it say HA Agent on the host failed

[Troy_Clavell]

try this.. right click on the host and disconnect.  Once in a disconnected status, right click and connect.  If that doesn't work, disable HA on the entire cluster and enable it again.

On the faulty ESX host all options are greyed out 

other the report summary, summary performance, Alarms

Can do any thing on ESX Host properties all greyes out

restart the management agents again. on the host in question.  From there if that doesn't work, restart your vCenter Server Service.

i did restart the management agent on faulty host but no joy, outcome of that restart was all ok

i did ping, NSlookup to see all are resolving and they are fine

you mean restart VCenter server or any can i restart some service 

Thanks

[Troy_Clavell]

when was the last time you restarted the management agents on your ESX Host?  Either way, I would try it again

Log into the ESX host as root and type the below command

service mgmt-vmware restart

If that doesn't work, restart your vCenter Server Service.

i did it this morning, no joy

where i can find  this service ------ vcenter server service--- -- on ESX host or on Vcenter Server

sorry to be pain mate 

[Troy_Clavell]

log into your vCenter Host OS.  Resart the vCenter Server Service
