I tried to connect it again but got the above message in a popup. I tried to restart mgmt-vmware and vmware-vpxa agents and then tried to connect it again, same error.I have tried to manual uninstall and install vpx agent but still no help.I have checked DNS and network settings, everything looks fine. I cant reboot the host since I have production VMs running on it.Anyone seen this before and came up with a solution?Detais about my setup:vCenter 4.0ESX 3.5 U2- Kasper 34453Views Tags: none (add) This content has been marked as final.

I know there are SSL Exception, this one started after I tried to rebuild the certifcates.Let me know if you want to see more logs or a specific log file.

This is caused by a TCP connection failure to the ESX server the VM is hosted on. Using telnet or a port test utility, confirm you can connect on both TCP 902 and 443 from your machine to the ESX server. If the problem is affecting a single ESX that previously worked, restart the management services on that ESX Can't Deploy VM The VirtualCenter server is unable to decrypt passwords stored in the customization specification Bizarrely caused by the Virtual Centre running out of disk space, free up some space and all will be well. A general system error occurred: Failed to create journal file provider Check ESX disks are not full Customization of the guest operating system 'winLonghornGuest' is not supported in this configuration. Microsoft Vista (TM) and Linux guests with Logical Volume Manager are supported only for recent ESX host and VMware Tools versions. Caused by you trying to deploy a guest customised Windows 2008 template, where the OS of the source template is set to Windows 2008(!). Essentially Win2008 is only barely supported in ESX3.5.

Add the role Remote-Desktop-Services to the newly created W2008 R2 machine, reboot, after reboot when the machine tries to finish the changes (after logon) it totally freezes. Now the interesting part on that: If you log on via RDP after the reboot (oh yeah, you urgently need to turn rdp on before reboot!!!), then the installer of the role WILL FINISH!!! Now how strange is that? Any ideas? best, Joerg 0 0 09/03/09--01:40: Midnight Commander for ESX 4 COS Contact us about this article Hello, I am using MC (mc-4.6.1a-26.ker.rhel3.i386.rpm) in ESX 3.5 and I'm looking for verified version for ESX 4 COS.
