Restart management agents esxi 5
I have an issue where one of my two host machines with in a cluster gives me an error when trying to turn oh HA. I want to try restarting the management agents on both hosts and try turning on HA again however I am worried it will interrupt the virtual machines that are running on the host.
Also I am not physically at the datacenter where the host machines are and I would like to do this remotely.
I am under the impression that use the following commands
/etc/init.d/hostd restart
/etc/init.d/vpxa restart
should I move all the VMs to a different host before issuing these commands or is it safe to run the commands while the VMs are running (these are production machines, it will get noticed if there are offline even for a few minutes). Thanks experts.

Hi,
Sorry for my english, It's not my fisrt language...
Today I restart the management agents by SSH with command : /etc/init.d/hostd restart
Based on the VMware KB.
But the processus of HA was started... So now, I have many VM in my vcenter where state is SERVER (incorrect).
The VM are always ONLine but not accessible.
Tonight my VEEAM Backup tasks begin but I think they will fail. Is it right ??
Thanks Experts !!
