[mefendi]

Hello All,

I'am currently have a problem with one of my ESXi. Suddenly it's disconnected from vCenter 5.0.0 Build 455964.

I confuse because another ESXi running normally for several weeks. Any from you having same problem with me ?

Now, the  ESXi cannot managed by ESXi Shell and DCUI

any reply very appreciated. Many Thanks,

Can you still ping it? By the sounds of it you don't have many options besides restarting the host.

Hi depping,

thanks for your reply.

I can ping that host, but no way to remote the host

I also think not another option beside restarting the host

Can you SSH onto the host?

[mefendi]

No, I can't SSH to the host

I had the same thing happen to 3 of my ESXi 5.0 U1 hosts after I enabled Network I/O controls.  I didn't want to reboot the host, but after spending 2 hours on the phone troubleshooting with VMware support, their best recommendation was a reboot.  We arranged for downtime a few days later and a reboot was able to allow us to reconnect the ESXi hosts back into vCenter.  My guess is that there might be some type of bug with Network I/O controls which caused the management interface module to become unresponsive until a reboot occurred.
