ESXi 5.5u1 added iscsi storage adapter - reboot and now vSphere Client could not connect to "my ip" an unknown error has occurred.  The server could not interpret the customer's request.  The remote server returned an error (503) server unavailable

I have not yet connect to an iSCSI target device.

I can ping my host

when I open http:// "hostip" in a web browser, I get a 503 service not available.

restart the host gets me nowhere.

SSH opens somehow, but can not connect

Console seems OK

vSphere Client can not connect

If I reset to the default values of the console it is ok, but when I reconfigure the host, this error will be returned.

I tried to reinstall from DVD

I'm completely corrected to date via SSH esxcli

This happens on both my hosts, although they are almost identical Lenovo thinkserver TS140s with broadcom 10Gig NIC and intel NETWORK card integrated

It almost always seems to happen the next time I reboot after enabling iscsi support

The only weird thing I have is that my Integrated NIC is a processor intel 217's and I have to use a special VIB so that it can be used in ESXi

Customer's winning 8.1

Here is my installation notes

Install on USB/SSD stick with custimized ISO i217 NIC driver, reset the configuration and reboot

Management NIC set to NIC0:1Gig

IP management: hostIP/24 GW: my gateway

DNS:DNS on windows vm1, vm2 Windows dns

HostName:ESXi1.Sub.myregistereddomainname custom DNS Suffixes: sub.myregistereddomainname

Reset

Patch to date (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_O0Pac0a6g8)

Download the VIB and .zip in a data store using the vSphere Client

To get them (https://www.vmware.com/patchmgr/findPatch.portal)

Start the SSH ESXi service and establish a Putty SSH connection to the ESXi server.

Put the ESXi server in maintenance mode,

example of order: software esxcli vib install /vmfs/volumes/ESXi2-2/patch/ESXi550-201404020.zip d

Re install the Intel 217 NIC driver if removed by patch

Change acceptance ESXi host sustained community level,

command: esxcli software - acceptance-level = CommunitySupported

Install the VIB

command:esxcli vib software install - v /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/net-e1000e-2.3.2.x86_64.vib

command: restart

I think I saw that I was wrong.  In fact, I applied two patches when only suited. I started with 5.5u1rollup2 and then applied the ESXi550-201404001 and ESXi550-201404020.  Strangely I did not t o had problems until I worked with iSCSI.
