The guests themselves are still up and running fine, but they won't respond to VirtualCenter commands (all the options are greyed out). The only way to get around this seems to be shut down all the guests on the affected server, and then restart the ESX server - not really an option when my Exchange, Excalibur and SQL servers are running on this particular ESX box. If ESX was Windows, I guess I'd be looking for a failed service or something, but being a bit of a Unix/ESX amateur I'm not sure where to start troubleshooting....
