VMware vSphere ESXi VMware vCenter Server

ESXi host not responding in vCenter and cannot be reconnected.
ESXi host not reachable via the host UI or ping.
From a remote console CLI session, the host is not able to ping the host gateway.
VLAN associated with the management vmk does not match the VLAN on a working host as seen in net-dvs -l.

The DVPG (distributed vswitch port group) for host management has been reconfigured to use a different VLAN prior to the host reboot.

Update the DVPG to use the correct VLAN value and reconnect the host to vCenter.
