I had an issue today where the templates I wanted to deploy a VM from were listed as disconnected in VirtualCenter. They were displayed in italics, such as:
vmtemplatename (Disconnected)
This also meant that couldn't be converted into, or deployed as VMs. To resolve this issue I simply restarted the VirtualCenter service and the problem was resolved.
Restart vmware mgmt service. After logging in as root to the affected host, type:
ReplyDeleteservice mgmt-vmware restart
service vmware-vpxa restart
This fixed it for me.
