Will restarting the management agent in esxi need to shut down vms on the host?
Please advise!
Thank you!
Hello,
Restarting Management agents will not have any impact for the guest VM's running.
Restarting Management agents will stop/terminate the current running process in the host (Cloning, Image backup (VCB), vMotion, .....).
To restart Management Agent in ESXi using Console, follow the below:
You can use SSH and run the below command:
/etc/init.d/hostd restart
/etc/init.d/vpxa restart
Please consider marking this answer "CORRECT" or "Helpful" if you think your question have been answered correctly.

No, restarting vpxa and hostd can be done without affecting VMs.
thank you!
