VMWare Host Not Responding - VMs are Disconnected (ESXi 3.5)
- by EyeonTech
I have inherited a VMWare environement ESX v3i 3.5.
I am not fluent with VMWare ESXi so bare with me.
Two days ago, when I opened Virtual Centre, one of the Hosts showed up as Not Responding.
The error I am seeing is:-----
Unable to acquire licenses because license source is unavailable: The license manager has not been started yet, the wrong port@host or license file is being used, or the port or hostname in the license file has been changed.
What I have tried:
I have Stopped and Started the license server within the application.
When I do this, I am able to disconnect the host in Virtual Centre and reconnect.
This brings the host back online, but a few minutes later, the host goes to a not responding state again.
I have rebooted the server with the Licensing software installed.
While browsing Google, I have not been able to find any steps I feel comfortable performing and I would like the opinion of the VMWare pros.
Where are the log files I should be looking at to correctly determine what is going on?
Has anyone seen this behaviour and how did you resolve it?
Thank you
