Restarting the VMware ESX Management service

There are times when an ESX server will need the Management Service restarted.   Usually this is when the ESX host is grayed out and the guest machines are “disconnected”.

To restart the service, log onto the console and execute the following:

# service mgmt-vmware stop
# service mgmt-vmware start (can take up to 1 minute before fully online)
OR
# service mgmt-vmware restart

In order to successfully run these commands they will have to be executed as root (or using sudo)
