ESXi 4.1 NoPrimaryAgentAvailible

Hi all, have 5 ESXi 4.1 host in a HA cluster. One of our servers is reporting "HA agent disabled on  ServerName.Domain in  cluster ClusterName. And the other 4 hosts are reporting "HA agent on ServerName in cluster ClusterName has an error: NoPrimaryAgentAvailible.

We have restarted the management agents and VMware are asking us to reboot the hosts (no easy to do). Question, how do I determine the primary agent for the cluster?

Hi, I have 5 hosts and so if they are all primary why is the one server reporting primary agent failure?
Also, can I run the powercli from a desktop?

Thanks for your help thus far
Before restarting the hosts, have you Restarted Network Management Agents ON ALL ESXi hosts.

This will not affect the running VMs.
Many thanks all.
Hi, we have restarted management agents but errors remain. I'm just wondering how do I ID the primary agent for the cluster that is being referenced by one of the ESXi hosts.
