          Hello and thanks in advance for your help

We've had an issue that's required us to spin up our Exchange server in Instant Recovery. It's working which is great. The datastore is running from my VBR server, and the resources are running on one of my ESXi hosts. The ESXi host is having some issues and lost connection to VCenter. We tried restarting management agents, but it's stuck at "stopping"

If Idown the VM that's running in Instant Recovery, is it safe to restart the ESXi host? With the management agents not running I'm in a bad situation, unable to do pretty much anything with it

My hope/plan was todown the VM server and then reboot the ESXi host. Hopefully once the ESXi is back online the Instant Recovery instance can be restarted

Thoughts?
Thanks!

Hello,
and welcome to the forums

Yes, per default an ESX server reconnects the (Veeam) datastores after reboot. So your plan sounds good. I also just tried it out with V11a and vSphere 7.0U2

Best regards,
Hannes

Hannes,
Thank you very much for your reply. It's very reassuring to know this plan would work

Fortunately, it looks like I won't actually need to try this. I logged in to VCenter this morning to find that the management agents on that host had finally restarted overnight! The host reconnected to VCenter 10 hours after we restarted the management agents

Best,
Norm
