Verifying that the vCenter Server Agent Service is running on an ESX host
For troubleshooting purposes, it may be necessary to verify if the vCenter Server Agent Service (vmware-vpxa) is running.
1) Log in to ESX host using root credentials from Putty session or directly from the console.
2) Type "ps -ef | grep vpxa" -> press enter.
If vmware-vpxa is running, you see output similar to:
[root@server]# ps -ef | grep vpxa
root 24663 1 0 15:44 ? 00:00:00 /bin/sh /opt/vmware/vpxa/bin/vmware-watchdog -s vpxa -u 30 -q 5 /opt/vmware/vpxa/sbin/vpxa
root 26639 24663 0 21:03 ? 00:00:00 /opt/vmware/vpxa/vpx/vpxa
root 26668 26396 0 21:23 pts/3 00:00:00 grep vpxa
If vmware-vpxa is not running, you see output similar to:
[root@server]# ps -ef | grep vpxa
root 26709 26396 0 21:24 pts/3 00:00:00 grep vpxa
