HA failure (?) or host failure, virtual machines are going down until physical reboot

Good morning,

I have a wierd problem here. I cannot yet figure out what's happening exactly, but here are the symptoms.

Running 6 physical servers in a cluster, with configured HA & DRS. Running esxi 3.5 build 163429

What happenned today is that virtual machines went offline. (around 80 machines (argh)). When I launched the vcenter, all but one of the servers were greyed and the status was saying : (not responding)

When I iLO the hosts, it looks like it's up and running. When the cursor moves on " Configure management network", it freezes there. The only solution I found was tophysically reboot theservers, then switch all the virtual servers on again.

Restarting the management agent won't help. I cannot figure out what's going on. Is it a known problem or not, no idea. The network cables and connections are 100% sure...

Any ideas ? Anywhere I could find someinteresting logs?
