Hello everyone,
I am new to this group and fairly new to the VMware world. I recently download and successfully installed the vcenter virtual appliance 5.1 and I was able to login via the web and configure the embedded database. However, when I try to access the Vcenter via Vshpere 5.1 and I receive the following error message "vSphere client cound not connect to "192.168.1.xxx", An unknown connection error occured (The request failed because of a connection failure. (Unable to connect to the remote server)).
One thing I noticed when I login to the vCenter via the web is that the vCenter Server is in a stopped state and I wonder if this is preventing me from being able to access the vcenter via vshpere.. However I am not exactly sure how to start the Vcenter. I am unable to start it via the web because the start button is grayed out.
Attached is a word doc showing the error message and the screen shot of summary page of the vcenter after logining in via the web. I have also attached the vclient log hopefully this might help assist in figuring out why I am unable to access the vcenter via Vsphere..
Thanking you in advance for your assistance and i look forward to anyone who can assist with this issue.
Ray!
