      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hello Andrei,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Wanted to share with you on the resolution.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;1. From the original cluster, I have disabled the EVC Mode and HA then enabled it back.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;2. Move the affected host back to original cluster and it was successful.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;3. Test a vMotion and it works perfectly. fine.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;After all, it was conclude it was not a Hardware Issue, but its a software issue (VMware).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hope the others who had this same scenario could help them as well.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;JOf&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;If you are pertaining to the disconnected Host. Yes, I created a new cluster add the disconnected Host into it and enabled the EVC, it work without any problem.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;but if you are talking about create a new cluster add the disconnected host plus the two working hosts, this haven’t tried as I cannot afford to have a downtime right now.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Regards,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;VM_JOf&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;This is the message always prompted every time I perform add-back to the original cluster.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper" image-alt="pastedImage_2.png"&gt;&lt;img src="https://communities.vmware.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/4063i8EB20DE96C333666/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="pastedImage_2.png" alt="pastedImage_2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Already check by the HW Vendor and all required features are set accordingly.

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Yes, I do have the CPU Compatibility Check Message. It’s quite weird that its been working for years and just sudden that the 3rd Host was disconnected from the cluster. No recent patch applied on the hosts so I dont know yet what causing this sudden disconnection and I cannot put it back to the cluster it belongs.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;JOf&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

I created a Temp Cluster adding the 3rd Host to it and enabled the EVC Mode which is same as the original cluster and its work well.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;So I’m thinking if will work by Disabling the EVC in the Original Cluster for the two host and add back the 3rd Host. Then turn it back the EVC Mode.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;But I saw in some article, after disabling the EVC Mode, VMs resides into the cluster have to restart to take effect the changes made? Is that true? If not then I will give it a try disabling EVC Mode and add back the 3rd Host.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;-JOf&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

I have 3 Identical ESXi Host which for some reason the third Host was kicked-out from the cluster (disconnected) and I’m thinking if I can disable the EVC Mode in the original cluster first as I cannot add-back the 3rd host to its original cluster where the two hosts are connected.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I wanted to avoid downtime as 100s of VMs are my concern and I dont have other host resource to cater.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;JOf&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hello &lt;B&gt;AhmadMDS&lt;/B&gt;​&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;OVC is using a different root account/password. You should review your Pre-Flight documentation. Pre-flight documentation is where all the HPE-Simplivity Deployment Team will rely on.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Otherwise, can you try to login to OVC using the Domain Account? If you are using SSO Authentication type.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Regards,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;JOf&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
