So I wanted to try Vcenter 5.5 but run in to some trouble. I hope someone here can help
Connecting with the desktop client to the ESXi host everything works fine, but connection to the Vcenter server using either desktop client or webclient I have no access to storage (local or Iscsi).
If I try to browse a storage I get this error message:
Call "HostStorageSystem.RetrieveDiskPartitionInfo" for object "storageSystem-43" on vCenter Server "vcenterserver.DOMAIN.com" failed.
If I try to to rename a VM i get this message:
Cannot communicate with remote host, either due to network errors or because host is not responding.
I have 2 luns presente from a Freenas VM that resides in the same whitebox as everything else in my lab, on one of the LUNs all VM´s are marked "ophened" and on the other all but one is marked as shutdown but several of the VM are powered on.
I am planing to delete SQL, SSO, Vcenterserver and start from scratch but I still want to figure out what I did wrong here so i get a better understanding.
To help me with the installation I used this guide: http://www.derekseaman.com/2013/10/vsphere-5-5-install-pt-1-introduction.html The thins I have not flowed in this guide is fail over sql cluster. I have followed the rest of the sql setup with multiple LUNs for database, logs, temp etc.
