HA error – Could not reach isolation address

I get this error message: “Could not reach isolation address: none specified” on one VMware VSphere host.  The error message only appear on one host. HA on the other hosts works normal.  I tried to run the “Reconfigure HA” on that host, the same error keep appear.   I also tried to disable HA for the cluster dan re-enabled it but no success.
