My home lab isn’t running anything mission critical and if I really wanted I could always build additional nested VMware ESXi hosts on one powerful machine if I needed. I also questioned if I really needed multiple physical ESXi hosts. I also no longer needed to be concerned about something that had a tiny footprint.

I also wanted something that just worked, no more fooling around with network adapter drivers or doing this tweak or that tweak. At first I looked at the newest generation of Intel NUC’s but really wasn’t looking forward to dropping over $1,300 on just partial compute (I’d still need to be RAM for each of the 3 NUC’s). It has allowed me to get many of the certifications I have, progress in my career and have fun as well.Īt the start of this year I decided it was time to give the home lab an overhaul. This setup served me well for most of those years.

However if that dosn't work, I would suggest you to do an update of the vCenter VCSA, That resolved my issues as the solution from vmware was not working with me.So VMware hasn’t exactly made it easy to locate the vSphere client download and given the clients importance in managing your VMware environment I’ve compiled a list of the direct download links for both old and new vSphere clients.

Windows vCenter Server: C:\ProgramData\VMware\vCenterServer\logs\vmware-vpx.vCenter Server Appliance - /var/log/vmware/vsphere-client/logs/Īlso, look at the vpxd.log file located at:.Windows vCenter Server - C:\ProgamData\VMware\vCenterServer\logs\vsphere-client\logs\.From vCenter Server, investigate the vsphere_client_virgo.log file located at:.Restart the vSphere Web Client manually from services.msc and set it to Automatic (delayed start).Note: Before continuing, investigate if there are other services failing to start. Ensure that vCenter Server services are running using this command (this can be ran on a Windows installation or Appliance): Run any app on any cloud on any device with a digital foundation built on VMware solutions for modern apps, multi-cloud, digital workspace, security & networking.Verify that connectivity exists from the machine trying to access the vSphere Web Client to vCenter Server with telnet by running this command:.I also encountred this isse sometimes, this is what I normaly did:
