Unable to log to vic connection failed

[alexaaaaaaaa]

hello,

I can't connect with VIC to my esx 3.01. An error occured: connection failed.

I can log in ssh via putty but no more with my VIC.

I try to see what happens and the service mgmt-vmware was stopped! I rerun it and same trouble...

Do you know other services which have a link to the VIC? They are maybe stopped...

Or do you now how to solve this problem?

I don't see a lot of problems in log files...

Thanks

Alex

you should also check the vmware-vpxa service.

I note that when I start mgmt-vmware and when I control the status I see that it is running... But 5 seconds later it stop automatically...

Strange...

Thanks

Thanks Mayur!!

I have this issue:

\# /etc/init.d/vmware-vpxa status

-bash: /etc/init.d/vmware-vpxa: No such file or directory

\# service vmware-vpxa status

vmware-vpxa: unrecognized service

I have several ESX and on the others esx the service vmware-vpxa doesn't exist (vmware-vpxa: unrecognized service) but they work...

thanks

As I understand it, the vpxa service is installed when you add the ESXX host to VC 2.x (You are talking about Virtual Center 2.x right?)

you can enter rpm -qa |grep vpx to make sure that the RPM is installed. If not, then search the forum for manuall install of VC agent. You may have to ry to install it manually.

Are you running these commands as root?

[alexaaaaaaaa]

I have not virtual center. It is a single esx box.

rpm -qa |grep vpx shows me that the rpm is not installed...

It is not a VC problem.

Yes I launch this command as root...

Solved!

it was a syntax error in the file:

/etc/vmware/service/services.xml

Thanks

Hi,

How did you find that there was a syntax error in this file?

I've got the same issue and don't find anything wrong....

Thanks
