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

Any help appreciated !
Thanks in advance,
