VSphere Client could not connect with the vCenter Server

Asked By Jody Akerly 80 points N/A Posted on - 09/24/2012

Hi All,

I have a VMware Server ESXi 4.0.0 on a Lenovo TS100.

 

There has been quite a lot of connectivity hiccups between vsphere client and the vsphere server.

 

Over the past few days host has locked up a number of times and I was forced to reboot it.

 

Now I can't connect using the vsphere client.

 

 

 

It says that "vSphere Client could not connect with the vCenter Server

Details: The server took too long to respond.(The operation has timed out)"

 

Has anyone experienced this issue before?

VSphere Client could not connect with the vCenter Server

Hello Jody,

To resolve that issue, do the following:

• Go to the ESXi console and then press alt+F1
• After that type: unsupported
• And then enter the root password (No prompt – typing is blindly)
• After that you will need to restart the management service “/sbin/services.sh restart”.

Regards,

Nicke

Check if you got the correct IP address of the server or its hostname/domain name.

If not, please rename it.

You can also try if there's a connection between your client and the server by ping the server hostname or IP address.
