One of our hosts is not reconnecting to vcenter, failing to get it's data from vcenter agent.
Host version: ESXI 5.0.0 build 623860
Vcenter Version: 5.1.0 build 1882349
The error I'm getting 'A general system error occured: internal error; vmodl.fault.HostCommuntion'
In looking through the vpxa.log at the times when it failed, I don't see any specific error, but I notice a gap in the log for a few seconds just before the failure is reported in vcenter.
