Case: you want to change virtual vCenter resources while vCenter is on the same ESXi host its manage.
There is a default mechanism that will prohibit you from resource change when vCenter is not available. All changes should be made with vCenter – which have sense. But, what with vCenter itself if you need to change parameters and it is offline.
Resolution is described in kb2021618; https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2021618
In short:
-
/etc/init.d/vpxa stop /etc/init.d/hostd restart - do the necessary change
-
/etc/init.d/vpxa start
During service restart you will be probably disconnected from vCenter client. Sorry 😉
