Comunication problem with a ESX 3.5 server serice console

[javrob]

I have two ESX servers managed by Virtual Center. One of them lost conectivity to the Virtual Center. I can ping the ESX server but I can't connect it throught VC. In the service console I restart the service vpxa but nothing happen. How can I do?

Do you have a firewall between the VC Server and your ESX Servers? If so, are all the proper ports open? 80, 443, 902, 903.

No, I don't have firewall.

Are there Guests running on the system without any issues? Are you able to connect to the ESX Server directly with the Virtual Infrastructure Client?

Have you tried removing the Host from VirtualCenter and re-adding it again?

No, the guest system doesn't have problems. I am not able to connect the ESX Server directly with the Virtual Infrastructure Client.

I ran service mgmt-vmware restart and nothing happen. I can't yet comunicate VC with that ESX server.
