Cloning a virtual machine fails with the error:

Failed to connect to host

Deploying a virtual machine from a template stops in the middle of the process and remains In Progress.

[2010-01-29 18:25:36.536 'App' 69548976 warning] Failed to bind heartbeat socket. Using any IP.
[2010-01-29 18:25:36.536 'App' 69548976 verbose] heartbeating 172.16.30.49 [742041:97:279:48]

Resolution

This issue occurs when an incorrect IP is stored in the vCenter Server database. IPs can only be removed by removing the host from vCenter Server inventory, removing the vpxa package from the ESX host and adding the ESX host back to inventory.

To correct IP issues in the vCenter Server database:

Verify that the vpxa.cfg file on the ESX host shows correct ESX host IP between the <hostIP></hostIP> tags.

/etc/vmware/vpxa.cfg in ESX 3.0.x

/etc/opt/vmware/vpxa/vpxa.cfg in ESX 3.5 and later

Disconnect and remove the ESX host from vCenter Server.

Stop the mgmt-vmware service.

Remove the vpxa package from the ESX host.

Remove user vpxuser from the ESX host.

Restart the xinetd service

Start the mgmt-vmware service

Add the ESX host back to vCenter Server.
