Hi,

It is a ubuntu issue, not vmware. But i will try to help you with that.

So first of all, did you check here :

Hi,

Yes you can reinstall the ubuntu server. This will have no impact with other VMs.

But if you want to reinstall your ESXi, you have 2 options :

1 - Migrate all VMs from your host on your 2 other hosts. And then perform a reinstall of your host.

2 - Shutdown your VMs (located on the host your want to reinstall). Then restart your ESXi on the CD, and then perform an install and select preserve the VMFS partition during the wizard installation process.

Julien.
