ESXi 5.0.0 on a Dell R710
and 4.x . x on an hp
and I think we are running the essentials edition (no vmotion or vstorage)
Using Local Authentication
After about a day of being able to access both my hosts; I will come in and try to login with vsphere client only to get random errors. " can not understand request or something. "
The solution is to log in to the esx part and reset the vmware services that are running in the server 2008 r2 instance. After which things go ok.
Certainly this is not how vmware is supposed to work.
Has anyone else seen this issue? I will update with the exact error message.
Things to note:
this was configured and setup by Dell and our ERP, so there could be some very screwy things going on. (we had a direct attached powervault with only one 3 disk raid 5 array configured.)
I have a decent understanding of virtualization but I am by no means a VMCP.
Thanks guys
