I did an update last night that just showed up in my update manager.
I followed the usual steps, migrated all VM's, maintenance mode, stage, remediation...
Looks like the updates installed fine, but on reboot it never reconnected.
I can get to the host directly through the local client, and everything looks fine.
When I log in through the VSphere server the host refuses to connect.
Cannot contact the specified host (xxxx.xxxxx.com). The host may not be available...
Call "Datacenter.QueryConnectionInfo "for object "xxxxx" on vCenter Server "xxxx.xxxxx.com" failed.
I've update the client and server, figuring that could be the problem. No luck.
I've done these updates 100+ times, and never experienced anything like this before. Appears to have lost communication VSphere Server as near as I can tell.
Client 3237766
Server 1945274
The host version is a little odd. The one that isn't update is 3116895, and the other is 3248547, but when I log in through Vcenter server it reports 3116895 as the build for both hosts. I am guessing it simply stores the last build info because it's not actually connecting.
I've tried disconnecting and reconnecting. Was going to try removing all together, but got a little nervous that I'd have to reconfigure the whole thing. Seeing as how it was disconnected anyway, I did try adding it back as a new host unsuccessfully. Same set of errors.
I'm at a loss.
I would think it would be something fairly simple considering it seems to be working fine when I connect directly through the client. I've also been in the console and nothing looks out of sorts.
HELP!
