When no performance data is available on a single host, restart the hostd and vpxa services

From the Local Console or SSH:

  1. Log in to SSH or Local console as root.
  2. Run these commands:/etc/init.d/hostd restart
    /etc/init.d/vpxa restart

    Note: In ESXi 4.x, run this command to restart the vpxa agent:

    /etc/opt/init.d/vmware-vpxa restart

  3. Alternatively, to restart all management agents on the host, run the command:services.sh restart
