inventory of missing vCenter using the web client?

I just upgraded my environment to 5.1 and for some reason, one of my vCenter servers shows no inventory by using the web client. I double checked the permissions on both sites and have checked the inventory in the vSphere client and everything seems good. I have two related modes and the other shows, everything is fine. I tried repointing and re-application as in accordance with article (KB VMware: repointing and re-application VMware vCenter Server 5.1.x and components) but all exits show as being already recorded. Any ideas?

Thank you.

This is the expected behavior for the operation of the Service of the inventory.

Searches in the vSphere Client works perfectly?

Take a look at the following kb NOT to DO ALL THE STEPS IN THERE!

http://KB.VMware.com/kb/2033620

Only follow re-register vCenter Server with the Service of inventory for now, if the search in vSphere Client function does not work correctly.

  • Single sign-on using the Web client

    Dear all,

    I improved our Vcenter server to 6.0 5.5. All right. After having access to the Web client the first time with IE11 I downloaded and installed the plugin for integration of customer. But whenever I start the web client, I can't see the link «Download the integration plugin» customer It seems that the login page does not detect the plugin of integration already installed. I checked it and the plugin for integration is really installed on the machine. It is the same when I use Firefox to access the web client. It's a machine Windows Pro 8.1

    Also the tick mark 'Use windows session authentication' is grayed out. I can connect with my windows login credentials.

    Is there a chance to fix it? I uninstalled the plugin for integration of client to version 5.5.

  • NetApp VSC v6.1 UI is missing from the Web Client v6.0u1

    I recently updated my vCenter Server 5.5 to v6.0u1 (2k12r2 for Windows with backend SLQ 2012). With that I installed a fresh instance of Virtual Console storage NetApp v6.1. All was working perfectly until I've restarted the vCenter after about 2 weeks of operation of the new version. After you restart the gui NetApp VSC and features were missing completely on the web client. The plugin has always shown as active in the webclient service is, however, no GUI. Strangely when I try to disable the plugin from the web client, it refreshes and remains only set as active.

    In heavy client, the icon was always present, however with the new version (6.1), no functionality can be achieved through this and you are just re-directed toward the Web Client of VMware. Backups were still underway at the scheduled time, even if the plugin was not visible in the Web Client.

    I tried the following:

    The re-registration plugin

    -Stop webclient VC services, stripping any trace of com.netapp* of the VMware folder of the directory (program files and program data). Mainly located in the folder of vSphere-Client-serenity

    -Departure VC web customer service

    -Re-enrollment VSC with VC

    All the re - install

    -Stop services of VC

    -Stripping any trace of com.netapp* of the VMware folder of the directory (program files and program data)

    -Stop services VSC

    -Do a complete uninstall

    -Remove the VSC installation directory

    -Reboot server VSC to delete reg keys

    -Install the new copy of VSC 6.1

    Re-record with the VC Server

    The same question is observed. The plugin shows as being installed. The extension "com.netapp.nvpf.weblient" exists in the breast of the https://< vCenter > / mob. (see attached screenshot). The thick client still shows the plugin as permitted, as the web client. I still cannot see the interface user via the web client despite the plugin is installed and activated.

    Tear out my hair with it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Guys,

    An update on this issue, it could be useful to resolve any other issues similar and research...

    After 4months our case eventually made its way to the development of the web client team in VMware. The problem has been identified as a corrupted file in vCenter which is responsible for organizing the status "enabled/disabled' plugins customer web. Difficulty as follows:

    "C:\ProgramData\VMware\vCenterServer\data\vSphere Web Client\SerenityDB\serenity\ALL\client.package.states.

    The solution was: -.

    • Delete the file
    • Open customer vcentre, administration, plugins
    • Disable a random plugin (this forces the State file recreate)
    • Exit vcentre and then reopen
    • Plugins should now be visible
    • Customer goto plugins and re - turn that which has been previously disabled

    Good luck guys, it was a serious pain in the ass

    Hello world

    Please forget my lame question.

    I'm running vSphere 5.1 and I use OS X on my laptop.

    I was looking for a native vSphere client, but I discovered there was no. Now, I'm trying to install the web client of vSphere according to this procedure. But when I try to download the installer of vCenter I got the following error:

    You are not allowed or are not authorized to download this product.

    Check with your My VMware Super user, Contact of procurement or the administrator.

    I am a home user and I have a free version of vSphere.

    Is it possible in this case to use the web client, or run a native app on OS X?

    Thank you!

    vSphere client of Web is used to manage vCenter server and does not support only guests.

    You can not access your ESXi server directly by using the web client of vSphere.

    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.

All the the latter is installed on a virtual machine that is running Windows server 2008 R2 guest OS.

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

  • VCenter 5.5 new install - VCenter not no projection in the Web Client

    Hello

    Today, I installed a new simple installation of 5.5 VCenter Server with all the parts.  I can access the web client very well and it will also authenticate with SSO (even if I don't allow my username anywhere, maybe I'm a domain administrator it allows this?).  Anyway I digress, when registering in the web client VCenter County shows 0 and I am obviously unable to perform all tasks at all.

    Of course, my link between the VCenter server and Webclient went wrong somewhere and I am struggling to see how to solve this problem.  From my research in 5.5 that it should automatically just connect and you don't need to 'register' that we had to do with older versions.

    Any help appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hello

    As described in this KB KB VMware: vSphere installation 5.5 Web Client on a Microsoft Windows platform

    Among the vSphere post installation steps Web Client adds SSO identity Source

    Log in to the Web Client vSphere and authenticate using the [email protected] domain to check that the SSO and vSphere Client Web work correctly.

    You can also add an external identity source, such as Open LDAP and Active Directory before deploying the server vCenter Server and inventory Services.

    For more information on the different types of Sources of identity for vSphere 5.5, see him add a vCenter Single Sign-On identity Source section of the Guide of installation and Installation of vSphere.


    You connect by using the domain ([email protected]) account?

    Have you tried to connect with username [email protected]?

    According to the guidelines of vSphere vSphere 5.5 Documentation Center Documentation

    When an identity source is added, all users can be authenticated but have access no. authorization.

    If you open a session by using the domain account (domain administrators) you might be able to connect, but cannot perform all the tasks that the user is to have access permissions.

    Then you can try to login with the username [email protected] first, then assign permission to your domain account.

    The steps to add the UNIQUE identity Source Authentication (if the ad has not been added) and assign permissions (for the domain account) are described in vSphere Documentation here:

  • vCenter 5.5 Web Client displays incorrect inventory

    I have improved my vCenter to 5.1 5.5 and it works except the Web Client has the incorrect inventory data.  It lacks some virtual machines and has a few virtual computers ghost that do not exist in reality.  There are no error messages that indicate that the server is malfunctioning.  The really strange thing is that when I connect with the vSphere Client on Windows, everything is OK.  Veeam shows also all the correct inventory when it connects to the vCenter server.  If its only the Web Client that doesn't not.  Everyone knows this or have any ideas on how to force the Web Client to update?

    Edit: I forgot to mention this is VCSA

    I finally solved my problem. It turns out I used a version newer (v1.0.1).) OpenSSL that exports the key file in a different format.  You can tell because the content of the 'wrong' key file will be one - KEY PRIVATE START while the "correct content of the file key will have a----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY.»  I basically made the whole process of certificate using OpenSSL v0.9.8 below and of course, the--BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY was there and I was able to register the inventory service.

  • Just improved 5.0 to 6.0u2 vcenter.  How do eliminate you the web client certificate error?

    We were a vSphere 5.0 shop for many years and enjoyed the client c# 4.0, 4.1 and 5.0 then days.  We just upgraded 6.0 Update 2 this week and although always, we are primarally used to the c# client and will use it for a while to come, I am getting used to the web client for the new features that are available only in it, such as SRM and VR.

    I was able to click through the numours of screens of reminder to get via Firefox after all these certificate warnings and even easier just click the one or two things in Chrome or IE to get in.  But how could eliminate total certificate errors?  Example, now I'm with Chrome, but the https:// in the address bar is red with a slash through it.

    In most all other device based on web or connection we have, as HP iLO, Dell iDrac etc... usually, we create a CSR on this device and it present our internal Windows certificate authority and recover a file to go back to the device.  Is it possible to do this with the web client?  We have a certificate of 'Server Web 2' model that generates the sha256 return certificate and inherently all field devices to trust him because the area is important our root certificate authority.

    Also, we are running services such as replication vSphere and SRM, I would not change certificate affects only or same vSphere Update Manager.  We have two sites HQ and DR.

    I ended up getting rid of the cert errors by following this page: 6 replacement vSphere SSL certificate / implementation by using the Certificate Manager-automation tool

    I followed the procedures for "Certificate of Machine (Reverse HTTP Proxy) replace with certificate custom" and just that.  I didin 't' t mess with root VMCA with custom signature certificate certificate because its seems to me like he wanted to do an endless number of the signature of the certificate request and keys.  But the first option considered for our internal Windows CA took care of her.

    For replication of vSphere 6.1.1 that I had to turn off the virtual devices from replication via customer web vSphere vSphere and then put them back on.  Then connect to their URL of web management (port 5490) and make the reconnection to the vsphere on the connection tab, where he was invited to accept the new certificate.

    For AUVS I had to run the VMwareUpdateManagerUtility.exe under C:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\Infrastructure\Update Manager and to the third option of re - register to vCenter, and then restart the service.

    Surprisingly, SRM sites remained paired although I've read that some people have trouble with it.  I'm on 6.0 update 2 and I think one of the questions was fixed in 6.0 Update 1 b.

  • Why can't I see hosts/guests in my vCenter while I can see them in the Web Client vSphere?

    Hello

    IM new to VmWare\PowerCLI.  The goal is to get a list of VM guests in a vCenter via PowerCLI.  I can see 80 guests when I connect via the Web Client vSphere, but when I use the PowerCLI cmdlets, a Get-VMHost returns nothing.  I did the following:

    1 connect-VIServer the username-password IluvVmWare myserver.acme.com-acme\BigDog connects fine without error.

    2. $defaultviserver | Select * shows me the default connection properties.

    3 get-data center shows me 2 data centers; DC1 and DC2

    4 get-DataCenter DC1. Get-VMHost returns nothing

    5 get-VMHost returns nothing

    6 get-vmhost-Server myserver.acme.com returns nothing

    What I do wrong with PowerCLI so I can't get a dump of the hosts on the vCenter?  I can see them all in the vSphere Web Client, so permissions seem fine.

    It looks like that there.

    You must speak with the vCenter admin I guess.

    More simple would you give permissions to view read-only on the vCenter and let this authorization to spread.

    Out of curiosity, this shows the VMHostname?

    Get - VM | Select Name,@{N='VMHost'; E={$_. VMHost.Name}}

  • vSphere SSL for the Web Client (device vCenter) certificate error

    Hello

    I installed ESXi 5.5 and right once I deployed the device vCenter. After the configuration and a few reboots, I navigates to the web client, and I get this error when I try to logon:

    "Based on the current configuration, the authentication server's SSL certificate was not reliable."

    I have until this google everything on the subject and outside tutorials on how to change certificates in the Windows version of vCenter, nothing on the device of vCenter. I was happy when I found the 'Certificate regeneration enabled' checkbox, but that did not help either. I can test successfully SSO settings in the control panel of vCenter.

    Everyone please?


    Edit: I should also mention that I am not able to connect to vCenter with the vSphere client. I get the "Cannot complete the connection by incorrect username or password". I use [email protected] as user name.
