all sorted now thanks a lot for your help. I removed the line mcsesx2 127.0.0.1 from both esx servers, rebooted,.HA and hostname -a was working again but no LUNs, so put the console ip back in and rescanned and then the LUNs came back so I guess I need that console IP. Anyway not sure what fixed it but I'm sure you've helped.
Been going through this list you sent me And the only thing I'm not sure about is this Please could you look at the screenshot and let me know if this applys to me. Thanks ...

added the FT_HOSTS file ,sadly I am still "getting hostname lookup failure" and ‘An error occurred during configuration of the HA Agent on the host' ?:|

I had to reboot one of the two ESX 3.0.2 server that I have here. Now the I get a HA Error ‘An error occurred during configuration of the HA Agent on the host' when try to reconfigure HA. I also notice that within the console of the same host if type "hostname -a" I get "Host name lookup failure" I appear to still be able migrate VMs but clearly something is wrong somewhere, is there DNS config file I can check, I have allready check ed the hosts file and I can ping everything using both long DNS name and short hostname. Or maybe there is dns service I can restart? Thanks

Copied from the VM client to my laptop via the UNC path like - copy to c:\ The stange thing was I could ping ok, althought the response time were a bit high. The VMs were still ON and the heart beats had stopped. This "copying a large file and then the ESX host crashed" thing however could be a red herring. I'm going to check the network activity again on previous crashes to see if the same happened.
It also says I can have a maxmium of 200 VMs per host. So I guess in term of my original question, that document was usefull. Thanks, I will give you one browny point. Just need to kn...

Ok so I can use 64GB of memory & 32 nics on the host if I wanted. Intresting. But why would you say it's setup issue? Is my setup wrong? Do you think like the other that I need...

Ok so I can use 64GB of memory & 32 nics on the host if I wanted. Intresting. But why would you say it's setup issue? Is my setup wrong? Do you think like the other that I need to add a 4 port Nic and seprate the service console from the LAN? Thanks
I will recomend the extra ports to my boss. I am still unsure as to why this will stop the host from crashing. Would a LAN bottleneck cause a ESX host to crash? I've added some esxtop scre...

I will recomend the extra ports to my boss. I am still unsure as to why this will stop the host from crashing. Would a LAN bottleneck cause a ESX host to crash? I've added some esxtop screenshots, one shows normal operation the other whilst I was was download a 1GB file. No idea if this helps, but I would be greatfull if you experts could take a look and see if anything leaps out to you. Thanks
Yes so it is, sorry. I will go ahead and buy 4 port Nic for both ESX hosts and give this a try. How sure can you be this is the cause. I don't understand why speprating them helps, do they...

Thanks, yes the WAN is set at 100mb by design. Isn't the service console and the VM network already seprate? I could add another 1000mb card and add it to the LAN network, I'm not con...

Thanks, yes the WAN is set at 100mb by design. Isn't the service console and the VM network already seprate? I could add another 1000mb card and add it to the LAN network, I'm not convinced it's a LAN bottleneck problem. Why would this freeze all the VMs?
