Hi all,
Recently I've been trying to patch some ESXi servers to 6.7u3. The patching is successful. However after the server reboot, the ESXi is unable to exit maintenance mode. vCenter always throw the error message "Connection refused: The remote service is not running, OR is overloaded, OR a firewall is rejecting connections" whenever I try to exit maintenance mode.
On the esxi hostd.log:
warning hostd[2101206] [Originator@6876 sub=Default] Failed to connect socket; <io_obj p:0x0000008c848b1d50, h:21, <TCP '127.0.0.1 : 57259'>, <TCP '127.0.0.1 : 9095'>>, e: 111(Connection refused)

Been trying to figure out what port 9095 is used for, but to no avail. I'm thinking it might be related to vSAN. We are using VMware vSAN on the cluster. Can anyone help with this issue?
