I’m having an issue with one of my ESXi 5.1 Hosts in vCenter (we are running the VCSA version 5.1.0.5200 Build 880472). The Host can be managed directly without any issue. When connecting via vCenter though, the Host shows as disconnected. If I try to Connect the Host then it gets to 90% and vSphere client crashes. If I try to Remove the Host from vCenter it gets to 90% and vSphere client crashes. I’m not sure if there are some logs somewhere that may help pinpoint the issue? Has anyone else seen this kind of behaviour? Thanks,

I see a similar behaviour in the vCenter Web Client as well, if I attempt to reconnect the Host it gets to 84% and the task hangs.
I’m not sure if there are some logs somewhere that may help pinpoint the issue?
Has anyone else seen this kind of behaviour?

Sounds like there’s something goofy in the vCenter database. Your best bet would likely be to get support through VMWare.

So, you could build yourself a “new” vCenter VM and try to add that host to that vCenter to see what happens. If successful, remove it from that vCenter and try and re-add it to your existing.
Could licensing issues cause this behavior? vCenter can’t be used to manage the free version of ESXi if my memory is correct.
Are DNS/hostnames configured?
