unable to login using the VI client

Hi

I attempt to install patches while there is vm still running, once i realise that i stop the update, but now I am having issue connecting to the ESX server through using VI client. The VM are still running and I can connect via ssh , just not the VI client. i have verify port 902 is open. Error I get is "Connection Error".

Any help will be greatly appericated.

Kind Regards

Yi

if autostart/stop of VMs is not activated (deactivate prior restart) - they keep on running.

AND: if you have HA activated another host will start the VMs, if hostd is restarted.
