  • 1.  HA Agent diabled or Error on ESXi U3

    Posted Dec 07, 2008 05:37 PM

    I have a labe of several ESXi update 3 servers running with VC 2.5 U3 and when I create a cluster for HA and DRS, on a couple of the servers I get either a

    "HA agent disabled on <host> in cluster <clust> in <vdc>"

    or

    "HA agent on <host> in cluster <clust> has an error"

    I have checked DNS and all hosts are defined and reachable. Reverse DNS is also defined correctly.

    All hosts can see the SAN LUNs and have all of the same network lables defined on them.

    Can any one provide me with some ideas on how to go about taking care of this problem?

    Thank you,

    Hi,

    Do you get any other error message when you're trying to enable HA?

    You, just that the HA has failed.

    Did you restart the mgmt-vmware and vmware-vpxa services on the host?

    Also, did you restart the virtualcenter service on your virtual center server?

    These are two common causes.

    After upgrading to Build 130755, everything stabilized.
