Thx, I've done:

service-mgmt-vmware restart

ware: command not found

cd /etc/init.d

./mgmt-vmware restart

Stopping VMware ESX Server Management services:

VMware ESX Server Host Agent Watchdog

VMware ESX Server Host Agent

Starting VMware ESX Server Management services:

VMware ESX Server Host Agent (background)

Availability report startup (background)

and now it works well.
