Hi;
First of all I'm completely newbie in Vmware. I was working on my project and suddenly the power went down and came back again. after that, I cannot connect to my ESXi 6.0 host. I can ping and even can connect remotely by SSH. But neither Vsphere Client nor HTTP/HTTPS work. I searched the net and found that "hostd" and "vpxa" are not running. I started the processes but after some seconds they stopped automatically. Here are commands:
[root@timaz-esxi:~] /etc/init.d/hostd status
hostd is not running.
[root@timaz-esxi:~] /etc/init.d/hostd start
Ramdisk 'hostd' with estimated size of 303MB already exists
hostd started.
[root@timaz-esxi:~] /etc/init.d/hostd status
hostd is running.
[root@timaz-esxi:~] /etc/init.d/hostd status
hostd is not running.
[root@timaz-esxi:~] /etc/init.d/vpxa status
vpxa is not running
[root@timaz-esxi:~] /etc/init.d/vpxa start
[root@timaz-esxi:~] /etc/init.d/vpxa status
vpxa is running
.
.
.
after a minute:
.
[root@timaz-esxi:~] /etc/init.d/vpxa status
vpxa is not running
[root@timaz-esxi:~] /etc/init.d/hostd status
hostd is not running.
I checked the log files and here they are:

And this is what I got while trying to connect to the ESXi host with Vsphere Client:
I have many VMs on that ESXi host. How can I fix the issue or get my VMs from that ESXi host? tnx.
