A General System Error Occurred The Virtual Machine Could Not Start
site that went unanswered. Scenario - I needed to move my vCenter 4 to a general system error occurred connection refused a different server. I backed up and moved the SQL DB (2005 Exp) to the new server. This went smoothly I a general system error occurred connection refused vmware 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 https://kb.vmware.com/kb/1006232 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 https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/310120-general-system-error-occurred-internal-error-vmodl-fault-hostcommunication 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) I saw some post that stated it might be Name resolution issue - - I updated My Windows DNS to contain all Host Names and IPs (Forward and Reverse lookup). I am able to do nslookup and Ping this Host -I have checked the resolv.conf and it contains reference to my nameservers and domain. -host file is empty (just like the 3 Host that Connected) so I left it alone I restarted the vpxa and vmaware mgt. agents based on some posts iread (sorry of this i not the correct name, I'm still fairly new to VMware) -This did not work so I followed the direction in another post that said I could reinstall them but that did not work either. I turned off all VMs on this host and put the host in Maintenace mode

Using telnet or a port test utility, confirm you can connect on both TCP 902 and 443 from your machine to the ESX server. If the problem is affecting a single ESX that previously worked, restart the management services on that ESX Can't Deploy VM The VirtualCenter server is unable to decrypt passwords stored in the customization specification Bizarrely caused by the Virtual Centre running out of disk space, free up some space and all will be well.
