Unable to add ESXi host to VDS after remove it from VCSA inventory

VCSA Version is 6.7.0.20000

Type: vCenter Server with an embedded Platform Services Controller

ESXi Version is 6.5.0, 8294253

[root@host3:~] esxcli system version get

   Product: VMware ESXi

   Version: 6.5.0

   Build: Releasebuild-8294253

   Update: 2

   Patch: 50

At the beginning  this ESXi host was added by IP address in vcenter web client. Then the host was removed from inventory and re-added to VC with its FQDN.

(There is a working DNS server(win2012r2) in my environment. )

After host was re-added, no vmkernel interface or VMs located in this host was found by cheching through ESXi host configuration -> network -> virtual switch -> DVS&VSS.

It's weird that VMs can be browered from inventory list from VC web client.

I tried to add this host again to DVS by going through -> DVS -> Add new host -> following all steps to add host and all its uplinks/vmk ports it fails saying --

name: reconfigure

status: unable to complete one or more exsi host vSphere Distributed Switch operation

start time: Nov 30, 2018 8:23:58 AM

finish time: Nov 30, 2018 8:24:00 AM

status: error

An error occurred during host configuration. got (vim.fault.PlatformConfigFault) exception

diagnosis: Unable to clear DVS propertycom.vmware.netoverlay.layer0 ; Status(bad0004)= Busy

other task detail:

Any help appreciated !

Thanks in advance,

Ming
