Resolution

To determine if an ESX/ESXi host is currently in maintenance mode:

1. Open a console to the ESX or ESXi host. For more information, see:
   • Enable SSH on ESXi Hosts in VCF
     
     
2. Run one of the following commands:
   
   ESXi: # vim-cmd /hostsvc/hostsummary | grep inMaintenanceMode
ESX: # vimsh -n -e /hostsvc/hostsummary | grep inMaintenanceMode

To exit from pending maintenance mode, try one of the following options:

• Disconnect the vSphere Client (close it) and reconnect to the ESX host to see if the option to exit maintenance mode appears. If this works, there is a known issue with the vSphere Client when refreshing the information.

• Use the vimshor vim-cmdcommand to exit maintenance mode.
  
  

  1. Open a console to the ESX or ESXi host. 
     • 
       
       
  2. Run one of the following commands:
     
     ESXi: # vim-cmd /hostsvc/maintenance_mode_exit
ESX: # vimsh -n -e /hostsvc/maintenance_mode_exit
     
     

• Restart the Management agents on the host. For more information, see 

• Review the log files located at /var/log/vmware/hostd.logto determine if the hosted management agent is vmware-authdexperiencing issues connecting to the service. 
  
  
  1. Open a console to the ESX or ESXi host. 
     • 
       
       
  2. Check the /var/log/vmware/hostd log file for messages similar to:
     
     [VpxVmdbCnx] Authd error: 514 Error connecting to hostd-vmdb service instance.
[VpxVmdbCnx] Failed to connect to host :902. Check that authd is running correctly (lib/connect error 11)


  3. Restart the vmware-authdand xinetdservices using the following commands:
     
     # chkconfig vmware-authd off
# service xinetd restart
# chkconfig --level 3 vmware-authd on
# service xinetd restart

If these steps do not resolve the issue, create a support ticket with VMware Support for further investigation.
