Thanks for the links. <br />
I have made the changes but cannot restart the host immediately since it is NOT in a clustered environment. &nbsp;I was wondering if there was any easy way to do it without restarting the host. <br />
<br />
I guess it is the bug. <br />

Okay, so you have a HP Server, and your Build/version of ESXi 5,5 is ?<br />
<br />
<b>UPDATE HOST SOFTWARE!</b><br />
<b><br />
and WARNING..... you need to ensure you update to vCenter Server 5,5 U3 FIRST!</b><br />
<br />
Restart host there is no workaround for that, that's why we have vMotion, DRS, VMware HA etc

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.
