Esxi 4.1 Guest Console

[harold.himes]

I have 2 ESXi Host in UCS. I have problems accessing Guest consoles from vCenter. I appears port 902 and 903 is blocked. Any ideas?

Hi Harold,

There are no ports blocked from the UCS, did you check the switched between the UCS FI and the server on which the VC is hosted?

  I open a case with VMware and they performed the following steps:

1. Rebuild the VirtualCenter agent configuration file on the ESXi host:
   
   Caution: This step removes all host and virtual machine historical statistics counters. If the VMware ESX host is running virtual machines that started up in an EVC enabled environment, you may not be able to add the host back without shutting down the virtual machines first.
    
   

          a. Right-click the ESX host in vCenter Server and click Disconnect.

          b. Remove the disconnected ESX host from vCenter Server.

     2.  From ESXi host:
          a.   Select Toubleshooting
          b.   Select Restart Management Agents and press Enter

     3.  In vCenter

          a. Add the disconnected ESX host to the vCenter Server inventory.
