We have a vCenter 6.5 U3 hosted in one ESXi 6.5 U3, the host got restarted and vCenter wasn't set to automatically start, now vCenter is powered off and something is preventing us to log on ESXi.
If I try to log on web console I get 'Connection refused'
Already tried to restart host.
hostd service is not running, it doesn't start even if I do services.sh restart.
vpxa is running but I've checked logs and it has some errors:

If I try to run any command on ESXi shell I get 'Connection refused', I suppose this is because hostd isn't running correctly.
Any help is welcome. Thanks in advance!
