  • 1.  Host machine disconnect 2 or 3 time in a day

    Posted Apr 12, 2013 06:36 AM

    Currently, ESXi 5.0 build # 623860 is installed on HP Compaq 8200 Desktop machine but I face network loss issue with host machine. It disconnects 2 and 3 time in a day and reconnects automatically after some time.  I have checked it after replacing two different NIC Cards and also verified the Network cable of host machine but issue is still persisting.  

    Hosted VMs are accessing, when host is disconnect. Some time, Host is connected but hosted VMs are not accessible. Kindly help out that where the problem is and how can fix it without reinstalling ESXi. If I need to upgrade the build to fix the issue then update me.

    Hi,

    If you have vCenter, remove your host from them and re-add that to vCenter, if not, you have to check other network components.

    Davoud.

    Worth though going straight to Update 2 http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2033751
