      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hello everybody,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have one ESX Host, running ESX 3.0.2 version of VMWARE, which has 4 virtual machines configured and running inside.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;After a power crash last August, I could not turn on my virtual machines neither connect to the ESX through VI Client 2.0.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;When I try to connect using the VI Client, typing the Host IP address, and typing the correct username and password, I receive the error message "Unable to connect".&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Connecting to the host through SSH, I tried several possibilities in order to solve the problem:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;- I tried to restart the service mgmt-vmware, but after restarted, the vmware-hostd stopped suddenly.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;- I tried to restart the service vmware-vpxa, but when I try any command for this service, I receive the error message: vmware-vpxa: unrecognized service&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;- I checked the folder /var/log/vmware/vpx and it is completely missing&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;- I checked the hostd.log file and there is no problem. All the virtual machines are configured and I don't know what type of service or file corrupted during this power crash.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;- I tried to halt the system and turn on again after one hour, but no success&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;When I try to check the state of any of my virtual machines, running the command vmware-cmd &amp;lt;virtual machine path&amp;gt; &amp;lt;virtual machine file.vmx&amp;gt; getstate, I receive the error message: VMControl error -3: Invalid arguments: Login failed.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thank you very much.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
