Hello Friends,
I am in need of a little help.
have 2 esxi 5.0 host and a vcenter as VM.
My lab was working good since days, but all of a sudden not sure why I am not able to connect to ESXi Hosts using vSphere Client.
Error:: The request failed because the remote server took too long to respond.
Call "ServiceInstance.RetrieveContent" for object "ServiceInstance" on Server "192.168.1.101" failed.
Yes, I am able to connect to vCenter server, when connected to vCenter and opening the VM console, nothing shows up, its a Black screen, as if the VM is off. This is with all VMs on both hosts.
1st I thought it might have to do something with vCenter and I tried connecting to Host individually which I was not able to.
After going through some KBs on vmware and some articles, I checked the firewall state on both hosts.(attached screenshot)
Checked if my workstation can talk to esxi host on port 80, 443, 902. all ports are accessible.
Disabled Symantec endpoint protection and checked. no positive results.
Lastly, I tried browsing the ESXi host via web browser i.e., http://ESXi-IP-Address which redirects me to HTTPS connection with certificate error, when I continue with the cert error, the URL keeps loading and the Host page does not shows up as it should.
This issues are on both hosts. :-(
Can you guys point me to right direction to troubleshoot this issue.
Thanks.
