hi ,
i have an issue where one of my esx i 4 host crashed and then we have rebuild the vmware host and i have got the backup of the esx.conf file with me from the previous day. i have got distributed virtual switch in the vmware environment and since i have reloaded the backup config my vcenter doesnt add the esx host back to the Distributed virtual switch .
- how can i restore the settings on the Distributed vswitch on the esxi host .
-when i look at the configuration file on the esxi host the configuration says that the DVS information is uploaded but vcenter doesnt overwrite the new settings .
troubleshooting done so far
i have restarted the vcenter and all the services and same issue .
forced the config file many times and same issue
took the esx i host out of the inventory and same issue.
any further suggestions.
