vCenter 6.5 Appliance running on one of my 8 ESXI hosts.
Lost power to my place for several hours and just able to get my VM;s back up except for a few.
The VSCA took a very long time to logon using SSO with Active Directory.
I even restarted the appliance several times.
I even tried using the replia crated by Veeam no luck
But after about 1 hour it finally came up showing my DataCenter
All the ESXI hosts are showing not responding.
They are all up.
One thing I lost my Cisco 48 Port switch even when it was on a UPS sucks. Just got a replacement Cisco switch and all my network connections are back.
All the hosts where powered back on and no network for over a day.
I can access all the esxi hosts from my browser individually
What can I do?
1. show I remove the esxi host from inventory? Then add it back
2. install anew appliance That is last resort I think.
Stuck here Please help
Just thought I would try step 1 and it is taken a very long time to remove it from inventory
.
open ssh session to your vcsa, and run command
service-control --status
Update,
It finally removed it from the inventory a Download patch definitions was going on at the same time and that failed also.
Then I tried to add the host back and it failed
Cannot contact the specified host my host.fqdn The host may not be available on the network. a network configuration problem my exist or the management services on this host may not be responding.
Does this help ?
Did you try pinging your hosts from VCSA ? nslookup working fine from VCSA ?
That was it DNS on my one DC needed to be restarted after that all the hosts came alive.
B ut I am unable to access the appliance on port 5480 still and thoughts?
restart your VCSA once.
Run the below command and try accessing 5480 interface
/opt/vmware/sbin/vami-lighttpd -f /opt/vmware/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
DEvi94
After a restart still unable to access
Any other ideas
could it be a service not running? Which one and how to check?

Please share your error message when you are trying to access VAMI
I got it
My shortcut on IE was pointing to my original appliance
https://tgcs-vcsa65.our.network.tgcsnet.com:5480
OLD
https://tgcs-vc65.our.network.tgcsnet.com:5480
When you said get the message in IE I expanded the error and it said you have a DNS error that pointed me to the resolution
So all my started service are ok?
I do not need any of the stopped services?
you are all set.
