Yeah got this today. I was setting up a new server, running dell emc vmware esxi release build 14320388. Was at the point where i configure iscsi targets. So i did that but forgot to authorize the server on the array. So did that, went back and the server was just not doing anything.

Looked down and saw about 10 "rescan HBA" tasks. that were all at 0%. waited about an hour for it to resolve and when it didnt, i attempted a server restart. Server restart was locked up as well it seemed, so i used console to powercycle it.

After power cycle this message was displayed when going to the machine directly and my vcenter can not talk to the host. It is pingable though.

The last thing i did before these problems occurred was trying to set up iscsi connections to our shared storage arrays as i have done before....

will post back if i find a solution because the machine is inaccessible now.
