Some of the services that are required to connect to vSphere web client are not started correctly.
- Verify that the machine has access to the vCenter by running the command:
# telnet vcenter_ip 9443"
- SSH to vCenter as root and verify that the services are not running using the command:
# service-control --all --status
- If the services are not running, the user can start them by running the command:
# service-control --all --start
- If the services fail to start, check the failed services logs.
- Vpxd logs are found in /var/log/vmware/vpxd/vpxd.log.
- vSphere client logs are found in /var/log/vmware/vsphere-client/logs/vsphere_client_virgo.log.
- Check other logs if other services are preventing the vSphere web client from starting.
