• the root account not working for vSphere Client 5.5, for SSH works fine

  Hey.

  I got this:

  I can connect to vCenter 5.5 by SSH and the root user and password works fine

  I can connect to vCenter 5.5 by vSphere Client and use domain user and everything works fine

  I cant't connection 5.5 by user of vSphere vCenter Client and use of root and the password. I have information on

  "Cannot complete the connection because username or password incorect.

  IM shure I use the right password for root.

  A suggestion?

  

  Ok. Thank you community vExpert and Lukasz of my team, we found easy reason perhaps, but not at the first glance for me

  We had the installer by default "Source of identity" for Active Directory then when I used only root for connection I got the error with wrong password.

  In this possible case is just to connect to vcenter using root@localos credintials.

  

  But in addition we sam of similar mistakes inside the SSO connects:

• vSphere client on a machine Windows 10 - problems with mouse inside the VM consoles

  Aloha,

  
  

  I just upgraded to Windows Pro 10. I'm also using vSphere client 5.5.0 build 1618071.

  When the management of the virtual machine, everything is good and right with the world. But when I access

  a vm console - either by tab or open a stand-alone console window the mouse

  becomes very irregular on the desktop of the virtual machine. Movement is unpredictable. Right click

  on an icon, sometimes opens the correct pop-up menu. And when I get

  the menu, choose the desired action is almost impossible.

  
  

  Everyone knows this and has a solution?

• No Manager of NSX in vSphere client Web

  Hello.

  I installed and used NSX Manager 6.1 for several days. Even had some time to install and configure the controller of the nsx.

  A few days later I lost NSX Manager in vSphere client to web.

  I restarted NSX Manager several times without success.

  NSX Manager point of view, it seems to be ok.

  I am login as [email protected].

  Where can I start troubleshooting?

  All advice please!

  Thank you!

• Cannot connect my vsphere client to manage my host... pls help!

  Thank you for reading... I'm new to esxi 5.1 and inherit a T110 Dell running a HD-250 GB for the OS (Esxi and Server 2008 r2) and 2-1 TB H.D for mirrow to SHARE DATA with the Microsoft software... (what a waste ah)

  everything was fine until about 2 weeks that I'm unable to connect to manage the server, it gives me the error:

  VSphere client could not connect to "IP address"

  A unknown connection error has occurred. (The client may not send a request to the server. (La connexion sous-jacente a été fermée: une erreur inattendue s'est produite sur un envoi.))

  If I point the browser to the IP Address of the host as: https://hostip (the page cannot be display)

  -Windows server is running

  -i can ping the Esxi

  Problem is that I have to update the memory and I'm afraid that after I have does not connect... and then I'm in big trouble... because I hand turned on inside the Esxi server.

  I did not backup, but the person in front of me was not do backups with veeam... instead they used a regular backup of windows on a USB software... I tried to create a re-usable collection and of course does not work... He was asking for a driver... I think it was for the hard drive... I free veeam now... but I can't connect it either... the box of Esxi.

  I would be grateful for any suggestion... Thanks in advance.

  You have access to the T110 Dell physical console?  Can you sign here?  If so, you could restart management agents:

  VMware KB: Restarting management on an ESX or ESXi host agents

  You can also enable the shell that allows you to try all kinds of connectivity tests:

• Cannot download vSphere Client after patch installed

  I installed the latest patches for my two ESXi v4.1 servers using the vSphere Host Update Utility. the servers are now build 1363503.  In a web browser, when I go to the home page of each server to download vSphere Client, I get the following error: error HTTP 404 not found.  The link points to:

  http://vsphereclient.VMware.com/vsphereclient/1/2/9/8/9/7/7/VMware-viclient-All-4.1.0-1298977.exe

  What should I do to be able to download the latest vSphere Client for ESXi v4.1?

  It should be fixed soon. I think not many people noticed cela and use the former clients to connect to ESX.

• 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.

  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!

• I need some help please (web Vsphere client connection problem with Vcenter)

  Dear professionals

  I can not connect to the server via the customer web vicenter.

  I have installed and configured the following successfully:

  -esxi5.5

  -Win 2008 server1 (installed on AD)

  -Server2 Win 2008 joined to the domain, then I installed on: sso, inventory, customer web Vsphere and vcenter server service

  as you can see in the attached photos, when I double click on the client vsphere of wen I should be able to log on to the server vcenter, but I couldn't do it.

  do not forget that I logged Win 2008 server2 as a domain administrator, then I installed sso, inventory, customer web Vsphere and vcenter server service

  the WebClient service is runningand I tried https://server.example.com:9443 / vsphere client.

  There are more than two things, I noticed:

  -When I turned the web customer service I got the certificate error (see photo).

  -When I typed nslookup in the domain controller I got the error message.  web vsphere client error is related to the DNS error in the domain controller?

  
  

  Please see the pictures attached.

  Please tell me what to do if you have any idea or what is the cause of this problem.

  Please let me know as soon as possible because I've stuck to that point where I can't connect to the via customer web vsphere vcenter.

  Best regards

  Please register these two servers to the DNS entry field. and make sure both servers firewall set OFF mode.  If the production environment please check the network connection by using the network firewall team.

• Unable to connect to new ESXi 5.5 with vSphere Client hosts

  Completed the new installation of ESXi 5.5 on two new Dell PowerEdge servers last night.

  Trying to connect to them through the vSphere client fails.

  I can ping both servers without any problems from the server where the vSphere client is installed (it is not a domain controller but a Windows 2003 server - it has not .net 3.5 SP1 is installed).

  If I try to open the IP address of the host in a web browser http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx expires, however, if I try http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:902 It connects to the server, but rather than get the web page, I'm used to waiting with 5.1 I get this message:

  "220 VMware authentication daemon Version 1.10: required SSL, ServerDaemonProtocol:SOAP, MKSDisplayProtocol:VNC, VMXARGS taken in charge, taken NFCSSL in charge." I get this exact message even though I have telnet to port 902.  So I know that I can speak to the host, but have no idea why I can't connect to it or they have the tools to display in a web browser. »

  Try to use the same IP address with port 902 in the vSphere client to connect, I get this error:

  vSphere Client could not connect to "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx".

  A unknown connection error has occurred. (The client received an invalid response from the server. (The server committed a protocol violation. Article = ResponseStatusLine))

  I noticed that there was a lag of 2 hours and 4 minutes between the host server and the client's server.  I have reset the time to match up in the BIOS of the host server.  The test gave the same results.

  Probably unrelated, but throw it out there in case it points to an answer, when executing the "Test management network", ping passes to the default gateway and the DNS server secondary (which is Google 8.8.8.8) but fails for the main DNS (local IP) server and host name resolution is faulty.

  Ideas, help or solution would be much appreciated.  I need to get the network to this customer virtualized this week, and I would prefer not to have to go back to 5.1 if possible.

  Thank you

  This is resolved.

  And it's one of those things that you just kick yourself for.

  I tried this on two servers, Server 2003 and using IE8

  Tested a theory using a VPN to my laptop Windows 8 IE 10 and it has worked perfectly, then tested on a Server 2008 R2 using IE9 and it worked perfectly.

  Installed Chrome on the two Server 2003 servers and worked perfectly.

  So in the end it was IE8 that was not compatible and all the problems at the origin!

  Thanks again to you Andrew for trying to help!

• 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. :-)

• A tree inventory implemented in vSphere client web 5.1 does

  Hello

  I develop a vsphere client 5.1 web plugin.

  I need to implement the inventory tree in my plugin. The documentation guide and programming example speaks on the list of entities as the 'inventory' and not a hierarchical (tree inventory), as shown in the snapshot below.

  I've traveled "vSphere Web Client Extensions for vSphere 5.1 Programming Guide" and samples provided as "chassis-ui", but don't find anything (point/api extension) to view vsphere/custom entities in a hierarchical manner, as seen in vcenter section on the web client.

  Is it possible to display the objects tree in vSphere web client plugin?

  

  No, it is not possible to add your custom in the inventory tree in the left objects.  Our user interface will further hierarchical display of items because it is not scale upward (we left the inventory tree in this version to help people make the transition :-)

  Of course, you can create your own Flex Tree component to display what you want in your own opinion.

• In vSphere Client authentication failure

  Hello

  When someone of my VM users trying to use the vCops Plugin in the vSphere Client he become an error message.

  "VCenter server authentication error".

  

  Does anyone have the same problem?

  Access Web Client is also not possible-> "unauthorized user".

  Hi Henry,.

  by going to https://your.vcops.ui.server/vcops-custom/ you can access the workspace of the administration of VCOPS.

  Login is admin

  Password should be set to the initial Setup by you. I hope that you remember ;-)

  Go to ADMIN -online Security in the top menu and checking for user management.

  

  At this point, it's just a guess but I think you should assign roles to users. Users can be local users VCOPS or LDAP users.

  I think that administrators are allowed to use the UI VCOPS of their rights of high level in the vcenter.

• VSphere Client errors after upgrade to 4.1

  Since I upgraded our infrastructure to 4.1 4.0, the Vsphere Client throws an error anytime it is left open for an extended time.

  If I open the client and let it sit for a few hours or overnight, I will go back to him and ther will be a popup of error with the following details.

  An internal error has occurred in the vSphere Client.

  Details: No enopugh storage is available to process this command.

  Contact VMware support if necessary.

  Once this bug has produced the error dialog box may not be rejected if you click Close, it just POPs upward.  The customer is inaccessible after this point, as the error dialog box is selected and that you can not touch the main window.  You must kill the client of Taskmgr.   Then it will restart and will work perfectly for a certain period.  Occasionally, almost hitting the error dialog will return to the client, but most of the tabs is not working and clicking on almost anything causing the error.  It is not a show-stopper, but it is a time wasting, irritating bug.  I've never seen the bug pop up while I was working on the customer, so I don't know what triggers it.

  The client runs on Windows 7 64 bit, but I have confirmed same behavior under the Server 2008 32-bit client.  I have not seen the error yet when the client is on Server 2003 32-bit, but I can't be left open long enough so that the error present.  Attached are the log files that the dialog box 'Error report to VMware' wants to send.  The customer is attaching to a server VCenter 2008 64 bit, not the ESXi hosts.  The smallest attached data store has more than 40 GB of free space.

  I have not supported active then the ratio to VMware dialogue suggested I post here.  It doesn't seem to be a community specifically for the customer and this started only after the upgrade, so I posted it in this community.

  Thank you

  I think I followed the status tab of the hardware. If I use the hardware status tab and let it sit there for a while, memory begins to be chewed.

  I opened a SR w / Vmware, and they confirmed. Their words:

  "After a webex and looking through our internal KBs, I was led to a bug and the KB and the bug that both speak to the material status page causing a memory leak to do with CIMs and JAVA.  It looks like no to this question will be resolved in a future version, but it does not say clearly what version they will address in.  4.0U1's should be out soon.  I think of 30-90 days.  Workaround at this time is to not let the vSphere Client open for long periods of time. »
