Site cannot be reached VMware host site

Hello,

So I had a power outage causing my virtual machines in my server running VMware ESXi (6.7.0)

I put the IP address of the host site to my browser and get an error "ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT" to a site cannot be reached.

I pinged the ip and was  "destination host unavailable"

I am pretty new to this and will love some help to troubleshoot further so I can access the vmware host site to turn my virtual machines back on.

Best,

Ryan

Hi

Do you have access to the DCUI (Direct Console User Interface) of your ESXi host? You can check the network configuration and parameters there and also test the connectivity to other part of your networ infrastructure (like GW & DNS). Because of the power outage maybe you lose some of the old config, like uplink setup or VLAN setting, so please check them directly via the DCUI first, then if the problem still exist we can check other components.

Please mark my comment as the Correct Answer if this solution resolved your problem
