• Unable to connect to esxi using the vsphere client

  Hello friends,

  I need a little help.

  a 2 5.0 esxi host and a vcenter than VM.

  My laboratory worked well for days, but all of a sudden do not know why I am not able to connect to ESXi hosts with vSphere Client.

  Error: The request failed because the remote server has taken too long to respond.

  Call "ServiceInstance.RetrieveContent" to "ServiceInstance' server '192.168.1.101' object failed.

  Yes, I am able to connect to vCenter server, when it is connected to vCenter and open the console of the virtual computer, nothing shows up, it's a black screen, as if the virtual machine is turned off. It is with all the virtual machines on both hosts.

  1. I thought that it might have to do something with vCenter and I tried connecting to Host individually which I wasn't able to.

  After completing a few KBs on vmware and some articles, I checked the status of the firewall on both hosts. (attached screenshot)

  

  Checked if my computer can talk to esxi host on port 80, 443, 902. all ports are accessible.

  Disabled the Symantec endpoint protection and checked. no positive results.

  Finally, I tried the ESXi web navigation browser host http://ESXi-IP-address which redirects me to HTTPS connection with Certificate error, when I continue with the cert error, loading of the URL guard and the host page doesn't appear as it should.

  This questions are on both hosts. :-(

  You guys can point me in the right direction to solve this problem.

  Thank you.

  Finally things started working now.

  The problem was with the configuration of the workstation's NETWORK adapter.

  The link on the NETWORK adapter speed was set to Auto negotiate (default), but the speed was detected as 100 Mbps instead of 1 Gbps and MTU has been set at 9014 which I defined manually long back.

  Things use to operate in this configuration that I have configured hosts with MTU 9000 and cisco SMB switch default Jumbo.

  the LinkSpeed of 100 Mbps is bugging me, after changing to 1 Gbps (manual setting) the card NETWORK has deactivated, and it reminded me to switch!

  So I put the LinkSpeed Auto negotiation, MTU 9014, stop the two hosts, restart the switch. restarted my computer.

  Since it uses for things were in a normal state.

  Even the question of the console (black screen) disappeared. :-)

• The vSphere Client Plugin Web WebService call

  Hello

  I have found no examples of vSphere call Web Service from Web Client Plugin. How can it be done? I have to create some adapter data/property provider and call webservice that somehow?

  See the samples/vsphereviews/vsphere-wssdk-provider, it shows how to use vSphere SDK WebService.

• Impossible to connect to vCenter Server 5.5 using the vSphere Client

  Hello

  
  

  I'm trying to configure VMware Lab home using the link below and I have reached a stage where I need to connect to vCenter Server using the vSphere client.

  
  http://boerlowie.WordPress.com/2011/12/13/building-the-ultimate-vSphere-lab-part-9-ESXi/

  
  

  I installed the package of 5.5 full vCenter server using the simple installation option and it includes vCenter server, single sign - on, Webclient vSphere, vCenter server and vCenter Server inventory service. All the the latter is installed on a virtual machine that is running Windows server 2008 R2 guest OS.

  
  

  Whenever I try to open a session on the vCenter Server uses the vSphere client, one of the following error is displayed.

  
  

  1. you do not have the permissions to connect to the server 'vCenter server IP address.

  2. cannot complete the connection incorrect username or password-, this error is visible when I do not specify domain\username domain user name and simply enter the user name.

  
  

  For the details of the error, please see the screenshots - vSphere_client_1, vSphere_client_2 and vSphere_client_3.

  
  

  As suggested in the link below, I tried to create an SPN and then set the SPN (Principal of Service name) and the UPN (User Principal name) in the Active Directory identity Source using the web of vSphere client (please see screenshot vSphere_Webclient_2)

  
  

  http://vinfrastructure.it/2014/01/issue-in-logging-into-vCenter-server-using-Windows-ad-credentials/

  
  

  To fix the permission error, I tried to add the domain user to the Administrators group on the server vCenter (see screenshot vSphere_Webclient_1).

  
  

  However, none of the above-mentioned resolution has worked.

  
  

  So can someone please help? I am stuck because of this problem and badly need help to move forward.

  
  

  Thank you

  Able to connect to the vSphere Client do you use the [email protected] account?

  Have you already set up permissions on the server vCenter object?

• Connection to the client with VSphere ESX host makes me download the old version of the VSphere client

  Welcome the OS Version: 5.1.0 - 2013

  Question: When I connect to my guests with the VSphere client it forces me to re-download the VSphere client. As you can see from the attached PDF there pretty much all installed versions. Yet, he's trying to go to vsphereclient.vmware.com to try to download again (which cannot because it is on a closed network). It is meaningless to me, as you can see I have all versions of the installed client. My boss who also has the same installed versions can connect. Actually, I installed 5.1 client so that should be enough. VSphere shows the host to 5.1.0 - 2013.

  Why is this not with my Vsphere client?

  Looks like your Client vSphere is version 5.1.0b (source: Match VMware vCenter 5.1 component Versions |) Virten.NET) and your ESXi host is version 5.1 Patch 4 (KB VMware: Products VMware correlating build numbers to update level )

  You need download the vSphere Client 5.1 update 2 version to directly connect to this host.

• How to change the IP host address list when you connect in the vSphere client?

  Is it possible to edit the list of hosts/ip I get when connecting in the vSphere client?

  

  Thank you!

  As far as I know it is possible by editing the registry. The key you are looking for is HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VMware\VMware Infrastructure Client\Preferences\RecentConnections

• Setting up a location of scrape persistent by using the vSphere Client

  Hello

  I have an application on behalf of data store when you configure the location scratch using vsphere client.

  This is the step that I have to perform to set up the scratch location and my query is

  I have to specify the name of the data store for step 10, as what I see through the vsphere client IE Datastore1 (vmfs/volumes/Datastore1/.locker - ESXHostname)

  OR

  What I need to specity the unique id that I am able to see in ESXi console that is to say 50060160c46036df50060160c46036df (/vmfs/volumes/50060160c46036df50060160c46036df/.locker- ESXHostname)

  What would be the effect? Configuration with the name of the data store for the vSphere client.

  You can configure the workspace for ESXi using the vSphere Client:

  1. Connect to vCenter Server or ESXi host using the vSphere Client.
     
  2. Select the ESXi host in the inventory.
     
  3. Click the Configuration tab.
     
  4. Click storage.
     
  5. Click a data store, and then select Browse.
     
  6. Create a directory named only for this ESX host (for example, .locker-ESXHostname )
     
  7. Close the browser to store data.
     
  8. Click Advanced under software settings.
     
  9. Select the ScratchConfig section.
     
  10. Change the configuration option to ScratchConfig.ConfiguredScratchLocation , indicating the full path to the directory.

      For example:

      / vmfs/volumes/DatastoreName /. Locker-ESXHostname

      
      
  11. Click OK.
      
  12. The ESXi host in maintenance mode and restart so that the configuration change to take effect.
      

  I ran a quick test on my test environment. You can safely enter data store, it will be automatically replaced by UUID data store when required restarting.

• old question: where to get the latest version of the vSphere client

  Hello

  I reinstalled my W7 SP1.

  I need to access ESXCi 4 host couple and 4.1

  The customer I have in my backup is probably ESXi 4 (always a update option when starting installation).

  As you understand that this client cannot be successfully installed on W7 sp1.

  I get famous:

  ---------------------------
  Could not connect
  ---------------------------
  Error analysis of the file "clients.xml" Server "172.20.32.192".

  Logon will continue, contact your system administrator.
  ---------------------------

  I found a few long threads about this at the suggestion of delete MS KB... I doh't see this KB under updates installed in my W7 (probably due to the SP1).

  I would like to install the client in the normal way. Please provide a link to the latest version of the vSphere client that will allow access to my boxes.

  It cannot find in the section download vmware.com

  THX.

  Michael.

• Disable root for the vsphere client access

  Hello community VMWare,

  I have a need to disable the account root to be able to connect to a server from vsphere with the vsphere client. Is this possible?

  Thank you

  The simple vSphere Client permission can be manipulated with the authorization tab.

  Create a new user and delete permission to the user root.

  Or, if you have vCenter, just leave only the permission of vpxa.

• Create a local user with the vSphere Client

  Hello

  I want to create a new user with the permission of readonly. In the vmware documation salon, they say I have to go to the tab local users and groups, but there is no tab with that name.

  And sorry for my English I'm not a native speaker.

  Hi and welcome to communities,

  This tab is visible only when you connect to the ESXi directly with the vSphere Client. You won't see when you connect to a vCenter server.

• vSphere Client Plugins Web - how to debug the Flex INTERFACE

  Hello:

  It seems that, in order to develop, Flex at base of plugins using the vSphere Client Plugins SDK Web and get 'full integration', the developer is encouraged to use a MVC framework which is part of the SDK. In addition, I see things that seem to indicate that, once the plugin is runing in the context of the VC, actions will be triggered by the context running, etc...

  It may seem that in order to develop a base Plugin, the user interface must be developed, compiled and deployed each time.

  How should we do about writing a typical user interface application where the developer is able to set breakpoints, etc...? I can do it now if I do not use the hooks of VmWare, such as previously mentioned, but what if I wanted to exploit the pegs supplied?

  Thanks in advance for the help.

  Have you read the SDK documentation in questions before asking your new question?

  Debugging of all is possible.

• Cannot save orchestrator in vsphere client of web (v5.5)

  Hello

  We have difficulties registration orchestrator to use in the web client.  Control https://**server-ip**/mob shows that it is registered as an extension and that heart rate were received recently.  However, even after a reboot of the vcenter server services and services of orchestrator, logging out and back in the vsphere client, try to save it manually in the web client, etc is not always appearing.

  When you try to save it manually, what format should be used?  We tried several methods

  1. https://FQDN:8281

  2 https://FQDN:8281 / api

  3. COMPLETE DOMAIN NAME

  4 FQDN:8281

  5. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

  6 https://IP

  7 https://IP:8281

  8 https://IP:8281 / api

  All of these methods give a negative result.

  Also, even if SINGLE sign-on is configured, and perform a connection test using configuration orchestrator web page succeeds, we are unable to log into the customer orchestrator!  It indicates that the user is not allowed, even if it's the same user specified in the orchestrator as administrator of the active directory configuration.  Just in case this might help, we use MS SQL Server Enterprise 2012 for the two vcenter orchestrator and.  In order to ensure that orchestrator db was fully complient, we duplicated the DB original vcenter then creates a user in the connection to the db vco and populated SQL tables.  The reported configuration wizard success.  (Note we also tried it with a fresh database and let orcestrator populate tables - which was also successful, but we still had the same problems with integration and customer sign; so to maximize compatibility, in case the db does not have the necessary objects, we have reproduced the vcenter db... the reason for this wsa as orchestrator can use the vcenter server db if installed in "easy" mode)

  We have searched communities and found many people with the same problem, but none of the cases that we found was actually marked "resolved."

  Could someone help us please with it?  Although version 5.5. impressive regarding the progress made and new features, etc., it has been an absolute nightmare of application.  I hope that VMware is working on fixes of bugs because if we had it to do over again, we would stay with version 5.1 for awhile.

  Thanks in advance for your help.  If anyone has had problems with the installation of version 5.5 (fees or upgrade), we can help... just ask me.  At our facility, we had about 6 or 7 different issues to which we have documented resolutions (most are easy to solve, but in a production environment, no downtime is not good!

  Sincerely.

  Post edited by: sietec2 - changed the ports that have attempted to 8081 8281, typo.

  Solved!  After the suggestions from you, I had a hunch and checked the file 'vco.properties'... then noticed something strange.  Here is the content of the file

  INSTALLER_UI = SILENT

  USER_INSTALL_DIR = C: / $Program Files$ / $$ / $VMware Infrastructure$ / $Orchestrator$ / $

  CHOSEN_INSTALL_SET = CS

  VC_Database_User_Name =

  VC_LogOn_User_Name = administrator

  JDBC_URL = jdbc:vdb:vcdb

  VC_web_Service_Http_Port = 8080

  VC_web_Service_Https_Port = 8443

  VC_Http_Port = 80

  VC_Https_Port = 443

  Upgrade_or_Fresh_install_Flag = fresh

  SSL_Certificate_location = C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware VirtualCenter\SSL\

  Customer_information = Windows user #.

  [email protected]

  SSO_URL =https://Our.domain.com:7444 / sso-adminserver/sdk

  [email protected]

  LS_URL =https://our.domain.com:7444/lookupservice/sdk

  IS_URL =https://our.domain.com:10443 /

  [email protected]

  SSO_DISABLED = 0

  Notice the line "BOLD", VC_LogOn_User_Name, went to the administrator.  Change that to administrator@{ourdomain.com} and restarting the server orchestrator, then logging on and in the web interface of vcenter server resolved the problem and the server of the vco appeared!

  So if anyone has the issue where it won't register in the web client, check the server.properties file in {orchestrator_install_root} and make sure the log the user name is correct for your environment!

  Thanks to those who helped!
