Hello Pedro,



You can follow the procedure from Nutanix KB 5098. In summary, you need to check if your cluster can tolerate one node being down, migrate virtual machines out of the node and the restart the affected node.
Hi @Pedro Manuel did you see the reply from @RichardsonPorto ?

Hello Everyone,

I’m facing the same problem, and I’m wodring if I should try to restart the Management agents from the ESXi host forst and see if that would resolve the problem without having to restarting the host ?

@Chakir you could definitely try that to see if it makes any difference as it is part of the symptoms in the mentioned KB article above. If that did not resolve the issue you can try the recommendation in the KB article for the reboot of the node.

 

Regards,
