Hi all,
Just looking for some guidance here to get connected to my VCenter server. I am running my svs domain in l3 mode since my vCenter server is on a separate subnet from my VSM. I have verified I have connectivity to the box, and there aren't any ACLs that would be getting in the way of the connectivity. Server admin did download and register the VSM .xml file from http://10.1.91.250 into vCenter.
This is the error I'm seeing:
n1kv-vsm1(config-svs-conn)# connect
ERROR: [VMWARE-VIM] Operation could not be completed due to connection failure.Connection refused. connect failed in tcp_connect()
Just for background -
VSM: 10.1.91.250
VCenter: 10.1.48.104
So here is my mostly basic configuration -
vrf context management
ip name-server 10.1.9.191
ip route 0.0.0.0/0 10.1.91.254
interface mgmt0
ip address 10.1.91.250/24
svs-domain
domain id 91
control vlan 1
packet vlan 1
svs mode L3 interface mgmt0
svs connection VC
protocol vmware-vim
remote ip address 10.1.48.104 port 80
vmware dvs datacenter-name SLI Datacenter
Confirmation that I can ping the device (no ACLs in between) -
n1kv-vsm1(config-svs-conn)# ping 10.1.48.104
PING 10.1.48.104 (10.1.48.104): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 10.1.48.104: icmp_seq=0 ttl=126 time=0.746 ms
64 bytes from 10.1.48.104: icmp_seq=1 ttl=126 time=0.535 ms

64 bytes from 10.1.48.104: icmp_seq=4 ttl=126 time=0.589 ms
Any help is appreciated.

Just as a follow-up, I did notice I wasn't able to use port 80. I switched to 443, and I get a similar issue ... though not exactly the same.
N1KV-VSM1(config-svs-conn)# connect

Google failed me.
This had nothing to do with my selection of l2/l3 mode, which I misinterpreted the application of in my readings.
Just incase anyone peeks in here and is looking for the answer, there it is.
