VMTS Patch Manager Problems

[gavinfitz]

Ever since i tried installing Patch Manager onto my Virtual Centre, it started killing the VC Service, as a result, i tried to perform an upgrade to 2.02 on VC,

This resolved the issue, but now i'm unable to connect to either ESX Server,

One seems to be completely unresponsive, I cannot ping the ESX host, or connect via a VI Client.

Can anyone help with this Dilema

You cannot run the VMTS Patch Manager on the same Windows box as the VC it was not designed to do this. Generally you would run it from an administration workstation.

VMTS Patch Manager has its own web server that it uses to delivr the patch to the ESX server.

You will need to uninstall it and install it on another Windows box adn then your Virtual Center server should be fine. If not then I would reinstall the VC back on the box after uninstalling the VMTS Patch Manager.
