Overview Option Unavailable

[Jsfair]

Was wondering if someone could help a new person out?

I have two ESXi boxes with V4 on them, everything is running fine except one small thing. When I click on the performance tab on either a Host or VM in fact all the way up I can see the charts in the Advanced area.  But when I click on overview I can't see anything at all.  I get this if I'm on the VC or even on a client logging into it.  All I get is Page cannot be found.

I've deleted temporary Internet files, rebooted the VC and neither seem's to resolve the issue.  Also made sure things like Flash and Java aren't causing a problem.

So anyone any guesses what I could try next.

Hi Jsfair,

You can check first that the VMware vCenter Web service is started. There are many other possible errors. Have a look at the following threads:

• http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=1015254&sl...
• http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=1026433&sl...
• http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=1011648&sl...
• http://communities.vmware.com/thread/221838

Good luck.

Thanks Franck it was the VMware vCenter Web Service.  It was being listed as starting, rather than started.  So i just did a restart of the service and up it came.
