Failed to restart vmware-vpxd.service: Unit vmware-vpxd.service is masked

Hi All,

I am using the simulator to simulate more than 100 hosts in my setup.(below) so as suggested in link I made chnages in vpxd file and as mentioned in link I tried "service vmware-vpxd restart"

https://www.virtuallyghetto.com/2012/12/vcenter-server-simulator.html

but on doing that I am getting the following error."Failed to restart vmware-vpxd.service: Unit vmware-vpxd.service is masked"

I tried unmasking teh service using  and did reload in my vcsa setup and now I am in a situation where I am unable to connect to my setup using the ip.

I can just ssh to my vcsa ip. Can someone suggest how to getout of this situation and restart the vpxd service so that I can simulate the hosts for my testing.

Thanks & Regards,

Bhargavi.
