vSphere + vCenter Server Displays Blank Maps

Any map view configuration displays as a blank page in the vSphere client when connecting to the vCenter Server. No configuration of the map view changes this to display a map.

I am tunneling the following ports over SSH between the vSphere client and vCenter server:

443,902,903,80,8080,8443

Help? Thanks!

what about the other things like storage views? If you go to home | Vcenter service status, is everything green there? If not, post the vws.log from docs & settings\all users\application data\vmware\virtualcenter server.

The maps views are now working.

I Installed the two available plugins that were not installed yet. VMware vCenter Update Manager and vCenter Converter. These could not download due to "could not connect to server" errors I was receiving, but changing internet explorer's security options to low allowed those plugins to download.

I also installed the vSphere client on the vCenter Server (I would not suggest this, just install it on a camputer without a firewall between it). Maybe this removed some ports or data that wasn't able to move back and forth properly.

Nope, it was probably the IE security that was blocking the access... Good to hear it's working, either way.
