vcsa lost connectivity to all esxi hosts

[plana215]

I'm sure there is a simple explanation but I have recently retired my old server box that was running pfsense and moved pfsense into a virtual machine.  VLANs have all been configured and I can log into each esxi host webpage fine but vcsa (which is running as a vm ) can ping the other esxi hosts fine(from vcsa console) but cannot connect to them on the vcenter webclient page--previously this worked fine before I virtualized pfsense.

any help would be appreciated

What build is your vCSA?

What build are your ESXi hosts?
What license are your ESXi hosts using?

[plana215]

esxi = 6.5.0 (Build 5310538)

vcsa = 6.5 build 5973321

vcsa is timing out trying to access license

[daphnissov]

Look at your ESXi hosts directly. What license is applied?

not sure if that is what you are asking for but that is an example from one of the esxi hosts

[plana215]

I should have specified that vcsa vm is on one esxi host and pfsense is on a different esxi host

Turns out I had firewall setting incorrect for the vlan traffic-problem solved for now

thanks

Figured that's what it'd turn out to be.

yes I did use backup/restore feature on pfsense configuration file but because of difference in the naming of the network adapters on bare metal vs vm it lost something in translation.  still not quite sure why i could ping it if firewall rule wasn't allowing vlan to pass.
