No idea what happened, if I've done something or it just melted or what not.
I have this ESXi instance v 6.0.0 which I've set up years ago and is running fine (I've done a few updates from the web client but the last one was quite some time ago). I remember some weeks ago I tried running the update from UI but I can't remember why it was failing (the download I think; it was in the early stages as I would start it then operate on some VMs, so most likely the download).
All VMs power up when started as expected, they operate fine, they are accessible all is good.
I wanted to change something on a VM the other day and vsphere client failed to connect. Tried ssh, same. Http client, same. They all used to work. Again, LAN is operating fine. Ping replies.
nmap however shows no open ports.
I know for sure I didn't fiddle with the firewall on it.
esxcli network firewall ruleset allowedip list
shows ALL for every rule.
Obviously tried to reboot solution, no game.
Any ideas, clues what to check, what to try? Getting tired of managing the VMs from command line.
This is a single/standalone esxi 6.0 free install with a bunch of VMs, no fancy stuff. Well, there is vmdirectpath passthrough if it makes a difference.
Thanks
