NEW SSL: then "a general system error occurred timed waiting for vpxa to start"

$

Morning all.

 

Keep this one short and sweet.

 

  1. VCenter 5.0.0
  2. vSphere ESXi 5.0.0 (4 hosts)
  3. Installed Self Signed SSL Cert into my VC so that domain connectivity doesnt have an SSL warning.
  4. Also installed a self signed SSL onto one of my 4 hosts (took it into maintenance mode and removed from cluster before doing so)

 

SSLs are installed happy days - I can browse to their home page in IE and see that the Cert is verified and doesnt come up with the red URL banner.

 

NOW:

 

When I try to re-add that host back into my enviromnet, I get the "a general system error occurred timed waiting for vpxa to start" error.

 

  • This typically means a VM has a large snap or number of snaps. I've checked this and there was only one VM with a snap which has been deleted, consolidated and rebooted.

 

  • Also rebooted my VC and all hosts and get the same error.

 

  • If I remove another host from the cluster (one of the ones with the default SSL, it re-adds back into the VCenter with no error).

 

  • Only my host with a new cert is creating the error? I've reloaded the host and I have the same issue, but DO need SSL signed hosts.

 

Any ideas?
