VMware HA not authenticating

Hello,

Here is something pretty odd, and I am not sure how to really fix this yet. It seems my VMware HA configuration fails to authenticate against VC. What is odd about this, is that it was working then suddenly stopped. This also seems to affect VCB.

It is almost as if the certificates between VC and ESX are corrupt or the password is not set properly within VC or on ESX.

I restarted VMware HA, added nodes in and out, restarts vpxa and hostd.... all to no avail.

Any thoughts to fix this short of removing from VC entirely?

Hello,

Looks like I found my own issue, restart vCenter Server

This is a very strange fix for such a problem. Any one else have any suggestions?
