(Resolved) lost vCenter connections to ESXi in other subnet

Nice day. Faced with the following problem and I can not find a solution.

I have two subnets 192.168.1.0/24 and 192.168.2.0/24. Subnets connected through VPN.
The first subnet a vCenter Server (192.168.1.10) and a computer with vSphere Client (192.168.1.11).
In the second subnet has ESXi (192.168.2.8) and a computer with vSphere Client (192.168.2.11).

The problem is this: after a random time vCenter Server will see more ESXi.

In a thorough investigation revealed the following distribution:
(1) when the vCenter no longer see the ESXi, is not possible to ping from the OS Server ESXi. (Windows Server 2012).
(2) computer with vSphere Client (192.168.1.11) continues to see ESXi, pings and can be connected directly to the ESXi.
(a) If you don't touch anything, then after a while is more able to ping ESXi and this computer.
(3) computer with vSphere Client (192.168.2.11) continues to see ESXi, pings and can be connected directly to the ESXi. No problem to connect from this workstation at any time.


After connecting directly to the ESXi, for example to change the IP address of 192.168.2.9, and then back to 192.168.2.8 - vCenter Server immediately starts see the ESXi (including pings).
First of all, I decided that the problem in ESXi firewall and turned off by this command 'esxcli network firewall set - fake license', but this does not solve the problem.

In any case, firewall turned off completely on the server vCenter Server just does not solve the problem.

ESXi version: 5.1.0 1065491
vCenter version: 5.1.0 1235232

In what may be a catch?

Thank you for your help.

P.S. Sorry for my bad English

In general, after a few weeks of turmoil, experimentally is that the problem in the router. More precisely in the metrics of routes. The metric for the route to the subnet to subnet 2.0 1.0 has more default gateway metric. Therefore, when the VPN tunnel to the bottom of ESXi immediately heading for another router, without going through the fact that he needed to get directions in 1.0 and is then reached the border, packages out there is dead. Yes... Truth is somewhere near =)

    Need to load more information.

    Feeding cycle you the entire network... Start up in the correct sequence?

    Modem... Wait 2 min

    TC... Wait 2 min

    Client devices.

    If this does not work...

    Tell us everything... what model is the modem? Is this also a router?

    What model is the TC... The base A1xxx please?

    The fact the main TC on... amber green or flashing led?

    Taken in a computer by ethernet that get you internet with wired connection, just all the wireless clients are turned off?

    Tell us about such things and we can work from there.

    But I suggest you a factory reset as well... Here are the basics.

    Start from a factory reset. No files are lost on the drive hard in doing so.

    Universal factory reset

    Turning off the TC... That is, remove the power supply cord or the power at the wall outlet, wait 10 seconds... Hold the reset button... be nice... Turn on always even now in reset... and keep holding in for another 10 seconds. You may need assistance because it is difficult to hold in reset and power on. It will show the success quickly flashing led front. Release reset... and wait a few minutes for the TC to reset and return with the factory settings. If the front LED flashes quickly you missed and simply try again. The reset is quite fragile in these... Press the key while it is just click away and not more... I've seen people bend lever or even break. I use a toothpick as a tool.

    NB. None of your files on the hard drive of the TC are removed... This simply clears the settings of the router of the TC.

    The installer the TC.

    And then redo the configuration of the computer with the Mavericks - Yosemite - ElCapo. (MYELCAP)

    1. the use of very short names... NO APPLE RECOMMENDED names. Without the space and pure alphanumeric characters.

    for example TCgen5 for the base station and the name of the TCwifi wireless.

    If the problem is using wireless TC24ghz and TC5ghz with fixed channels as it also seems to help stop the nonsense. But it can be tried in the second round. IE, plan on a first and second series of changes to fix this... If all goes well... I note other steps can you tour2.

    2. use all passwords also consistent with 1. but maybe a little longer. IE 8 and 20 characters of mixed cases and numbers... no alphanumeric non-caracteres.

    3. If the TC is router, you can ignore this point. It is only a problem when the TC is bridged.

    If ensure that the TC is always the same IP address... you will need to do this on the main router using a dhcp reservation... or a bit more complex setup by using the static IP address in the TC. But it's important for deriving from intellectual property in all directions when MYELCAP do not remember his name for 5 min after a reboot done for poor network management.

    4. check that your share on the computer name does not change... Make sure that it is also in line with the above... short without space and pure alphanumeric... but this change will mess up your TM backup... so be prepared to make a new, full backup. Sorry... keep this one for the second round, if you want to avoid a new backup.

    5 attach the TC disc into the computer manually.

    In Finder, go, connect to the server in the main menu,

    Type in SMB://192.168.0.254 (or whatever ip of TC is that you made static. It's a default router 10.0.1.1 and I encourage people to stick with it unless you know what you're doing).

    You can use the name... SMB://TCgen5.local where you replace TCgen5 with your name of TC... local is the default domain of the TC and does not change.

    However the names are not so easy as... the IP address nor reliable. They are not at least not in Yosemite. The field can also be a problem if you are not clogged or wireless directly to the Treasury Board.

    6. ensure that IPv6 is set to link-local only in the computer. For example wireless open network, wireless and Advanced preferences / TCP/IP... and the difficulty of IPv6. link-local only. Do the same for the ethernet if you use it.

    It is a lot more jiggery pokery, you can try, but the above is a good start... If you still find not reliable... don't be surprised.

    You may need to do more work on the computer itself. for example, to reset the NVRAM/PRAM/SMC... helped some people. A clean installation of the operating system is also useful if you update installed.

  • Windows cannot connect to the printer. The name of the printer has been correctly entered, or the specified printer has lost its connection to the server.

    A Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition SP2 32-bit computer is a field, the file and print server.

    A computer on the domain is a machine of Windows 7 Ultimate 64 - bit with HP DesignJet 500 24 printer connected via USB.  The printer is running the latest firmware.  The PC is running the latest 64-bit drivers with no problems to the host machine printing.  The host also has the latest drivers 32-bit (x 86) installed by downloading by other computers on the network.  The printer is configured to share with the share name of HPDJ500.

    Now, on a machine Windows XP Pro SP3 32 bit on the field, I'm trying to connect to the shared printer.  Add a printer > click Next in the wizard of > check "a network printer or a printer attached to another computer" and then click Next > click on "Find a printer in the directory", then click Next > click Find now > HPDJ500 in the list below (the XP machine can see the shared printer on the Windows 7 computer!) and click OK.  At this point, I get an error that says: "Windows cannot connect to the printer.  The name of the printer has been correctly entered, or the specified printer has lost its connection to the server.  For more information, click Help. »

    Alternatively, if I right-click on the HPDJ500 printer listed, then click on connect, I get the same error message but I also see a separate window that says "Connecting to HPDJ500 on H2.ws.net" with the lively projector.  This window also disappears as soon as I clear the error message.

    Please note that this printer worked perfectly as a printer shared, hosted on a machine XP 32 bit on the field.  It works perfectly for the new Windows 7 64-bit machine, but we cannot connect from anywhere else on the network (including the server which translates the same exact error message).  On the server, I also preinstalled drivers thinking there was a problem with a 32-bit computer, trying to grasp the correct drivers from the host 64-bit Windows 7, but that doesn't change anything.

  • 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)

    8-7-2013 2-11-16 AM.png

    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. :-)

    In addition, if you wish to arrive linkstate changes in your host you can ssh to the desired host (or via the console of the ILO, etc.) and simply grep for 'link' (provides most of output) or "linkstate" (provides a minimal output, only showing the ascent/descent of the events).

    Syntax of the command (depending on the version of ESXi host that you may need to tweak it a bit)

    ESXi 4.x

    cat /var/log/messages | grep -i link
    

    -or-

    ESXi 5.x

    cat /var/log/vmkernel.log | grep -i link

  • Maintenance of form session menu tree connected to DB, while other forms are open

    When our application starts, a menu tree module is opened, which contains a list of modules that users can open. When a user clicks on a module to open, the code issues the command open_form (...,..., session). Thus, each form is open in its own session. Maximum idle time allowed during a session is 45 minutes. So after slowing for more than 45 minutes, any module including module menu tree will lose the connection to the database. So if a user, open a module in the module menu tree and past more than 45 minutes of work on this module, when the user returns to the module menu tree, they get an error this menu tree module lost the connection to the database. So the question is, how to keep the module session menu tree connected to the database, even if it exceeds maximum idle time as long as other sessions of modules are always connected to the database.

    1. set the maximum idle time allowed in the database for 5 minutes
    2. open the form A
    3. open the form B form it of own session (OPEN_FORM (...,..., SESSION))
    4. work on form B for more than 5 minutes
    5. return to form A,.
    6 fom A has been disconnected from the database

    I tried to use the timer, but the problem with timer is when a fire of timers in shape which
    do not currently have focus, and a context switch is performed. The form flickers when the context switch is made and that the current text of the element is selected when the focus returns to the
    current form, that will be a problem for users.

    The installation of our client time-out of database for reasons of security and therefore, it cannot be replaced by TIMEOUT CJP.

    Keep in mind that we have 600 forms and the application is already in production.

    Thank you

    Hai,

    Try connection to the database to WHEN-WINDOW-ACTIVATED the trigger of the form.

    Kind regards
