Join Now Sorry for the Long post but I saw a similar post on VMware site that went unanswered. Scenario - I needed to move my vCenter 4 to a different server. I backed up and moved the SQL DB (2005 Exp) to the new server. This https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/310120-general-system-error-occurred-internal-error-vmodl-fault-hostcommunication went smoothly I installed same version of vCenter (4.0.0) on the new server and connected the moved DB - fine went to each ESX4 host (4) and edited the ...vpxa.cfg file to reflect the new vCenter and restarted Services -fine installed vSphere client on new vCenter and connected to the new vCenter. All of my Host from previous installation were visible (But Greyed out/ Disconnected as expected) I proceeded to connect them and got SSL warnings which I ignored (as instructed by several posts that I read) I confirmed the decision to pull administration from the previous vCenter. 3 out of 4 of the Host connected without issue (these were all on the same sub net as the vCenter [Not sure if this matters]The The fourth Host (on a different subnet) goes through the same prompts as the others and then states "in Progress" for a loooong time and then errors out with a "General system error occurred internal error vmodl.fault.hostcommunication" Troubleshooting so far - First I tried removing the Host and added it again (this didn't help

Search for: A general system error occurred internal error vmodl.fault.HostCommunication April 3, 2011Steve Flanders I am in the process of building my home lab. I recently purchased two servers and installed https://www.reddit.com/r/vmware/comments/cwd4d/getting_a_general_system_error_occurred_internal/ ESXi 4.1 on them. In addition, I deployed a test vCenter Server instance so I could run VUM. With vCenter Server up, I attempted to add the two ESXi servers. The first one added without issue, but the a general second one failed with the error messages:Cannot complete the configuration of the HA agent on the host. See the task details for additional information.Misconfiguration in the host network setupI verified that the hosts were in fact configured identically and then tried to add the host again, but the same error messages were displayed. Based on the error messages, I found the following KB article: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1019200. Unfortunately, the link did not help.Next, I removed the ESXi host from a general system vCenter Server and tried to re-add it. This time I got a different error message:A general system error occurred internal error vmodl.fault.HostCommunicationFrom this error message I found KB article: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1012154. This article pointed to name resolution (i.e. DNS) being my issue. I know of the importance of DNS with VMware products and was sure I had verified its configuration, but decided to double check. As suspected, DNS was configured and working as expected.At this point, I decided to restart the management services as that fixes a majority of ESX(i) issues. Upon doing so and trying to add the ESXi server to vCenter Server, I received another new error message:Unable to access the specified host, either it doesn't exist, the server software is not responding, or there is a network problemThis error message pointed me to KB article: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1003409.Again I tried everything suggested and was still receiving the same error message. At this point, I was frustrated. I decided to reboot the server just in case that fixed the issue. Upon restarting, the error message want back to the vmodl.fault.HostCommuncation one.What was going on and how could this be fixed?At this point I was out of ideas and needed to log into the ESXi host to figure out what was going on. VMware typically recommends that if you need to log into the ESXi host then you should probably
