Could Not Connect To ESXI 5.1 Host, But Guest VM In This Host Is Ok.
Hello
We have a ESXI host with version 5.1, today with no reason i lost connectivity to this host in management ip address "same as guests network", i can ping host ip and all vms guests is ok and running.
This server is Dell r720, i connect in console and press F2 "to view logs" after i type user and password and press enter the screen return to initial info "ip / press f2 etc".
I try to connect to shell "alt + f1" but shell not accept any command" i type and not happen, if i type alt + f2 screen return do info.
I can telnet 902 port, but i need directions to act in this situation.
Thanks.

0. Can you connect via Client, or vCenter Server via Client ?
1. Can you SSH to the server ?
2. Can you access the console ?
3. Can you restart network management agents ?
otherwise you will have to login to all the Guest VMs (remotely) e.g. RDP if Windows, SSH if Linux - shutdown all VMs manually.
Restart the Host.
