Hi,

You mean all 20 ESX hosts are independent/standalone and you do have vCenter Server to manage all these hosts?

Try the following links for solution

Check the vCenter Inventory Service from within windows and make sure it is running as well.

Looks like you have a lot of ESX standalone hosts. Good to know that you were able to manage it. Is this the first time you encountered this problem? This seems like a normal vCenter server problem which needs to be diagnosed.
