Symptoms

When any task is performed on any ESX host in a cluster, the host shows as Not Responding in VirtualCenter/vCenter Server (even though there are no network issues between the ESX host vCenter Server)

The VPXD logs contain numerous error messages similar to:

[2008-07-10 14:35:17.706 'App' 3672 error] [VpxdVmomi] Invalid login on host <host name>
[2008-07-10 14:35:27.722 'App' 2308 error] [VpxdVmomi] Invalid login on host <host name>

You see backtraces in the VPXD logs similar to:

backtrace[01] eip 0x01176caa ?CreateBacktrace@SystemFactoryImpl@System@Vmacore@@UAEXAAV?$Ref@VBacktrace@System@Vmacore@@@3@@z
backtrace[02] eip 0x0115192e ??0Throwable@Vmacore@@QAE@ABV?$basic_string@DU?$char_traits@D@std@@V?$allocator@D@2@@std@@@Z
backtrace[03] eip 0x014a1509 (no symbol)
backtrace[04] eip 0x014d8b81 ?UnsetNoRxLoss@PipeBackingInfo@VirtualSerialPort@Device@Vm@Vim@@QAEXXZ
backtrace[05] eip 0x014d8d48 ?UnsetNoRxLoss@PipeBackingInfo@VirtualSerialPort@Device@Vm@Vim@@QAEXXZ
backtrace[06] eip 0x014daf48 ?Throw@InvalidLocale@Fault@Vim@@UAEXXZ
backtrace[07] eip 0x014daf7f ?Throw@InvalidLogin@Fault@Vim@@UAEXXZ

Resolution

This issue occurs when vCenter Server cannot log in to one of the ESX hosts in the cluster, causing a VPXD core dump.

To resolve this issue, refresh the vCenter Server Inventory:

In the vCenter Server Inventory, right-click on the host causing the error message in the VPXD logs and select Remove.

Note: When the ESX host is removed from the inventory, all performance data is lost.

Re-add the ESX host to the vCenter Server Inventory.
