Ok so I was busy adding hosts happily to the new VC when all of a sudden I was getting the error :
"Unable to contact the specified host (hostname). This might be because the host is not available on the network, There's a configuration problem, or the management services are not responding"
Well I've done all the normal checks:
mgmt, vpxa, authd, pings between host and VC & VC to Host
I've reinstalled the vpxa agent etc..etc too
This problem happened all of a sudden, it disconnected itself in VC while I was adding a template. I'd done 10 or so with no problem.
I went on to add another host (to test) and got the same error. So I can conclude this is not a host based issue. To be absolutely confident this isn't Host related I tried adding the disconnected Host back to the original VC, it connected.
So this leaves me with a major issue. The new VC is still managing a fair amount of Hosts/Clusters but and DRS/HA is still running but I can't add anymore templates or hosts in as I've mentioned.
I'm running in evaluation mode while the ACL's on the network are setup for the license server, I'm hoping it's something to do with this maybe?
Any ideas, is it worth reinstalling VC over the top? All settings are retained right?
Thanks
