How to enable HA in VMware ESX host from command line if HA enable fails in Virtual Center

by Eddy on

I noticed on host running VMware ESX sometimes HA gets disabled because of network glitches, even trying it from Virtual Center client I wasn’t able to turn it on. I like playing with command line options when Virtual Center GUI fails to work. Here is a command that i used to enable HA back on my VMware ESX host.

Steps to enable HA by command line in VMware ESX host:

1. Login as root into ESX host using ssh :

$ssh –l root esxclstr10

root@esxclstr10’s password:************

2. Run service restart on ESX host for enabling HA:

# service mgmt-vmware restart

One VMware management service restarts you can re-enable HA back
