"Config Error" for sensor "Front Panel LCD Cable" on Lenovo x86 Servers

Got an alarm on my ESXi that said: "front panel board 1 FP LCD Cable 0:config error". Been research the issue on google and found this link: https://support.lenovo.com/id/en/solutions/ht117811

=Here's some summary on their official webiste:=

- "the status "Config Error" for sensor "FP LCD Cable" may appear on the affected machines if they do not have LCD system information display panel (FRU: 00D0464) installed. "

- This issue affected on certain Lenovo servers and ESXi model.

- Solution:

The symptom is corrected in IMM2 firmware 3.00 (Build ID: TCOO18M) and later versions.

-Workaround:

Ignore this false alarm. (Yes.. ignore)

But i have weird issue, after this false alarm occured, i unabled to login to Host via vSphere Client but able via Web Client.

There're 'not responding' remark on the Host and 'Disconnected' remark on VM. Though, all my VMs were able to remote via Remote Desktop.
