I get an error when i use the VI client to access a virtual server:
Unable to connect to the MKS: Failed to connect to the server servername.doamin name
Any help appreciated...as this is urgent
What have you tried?
Have you tried connecting using IP address, for example?
I think i found the problem...the incorrect DNS servers exist on the esx servers..
i am trying to change these, however they are greyed out?? hence not able to edit..
any thoughts?
okay dns server addresses changed to the correct ones...problem still exists..will reboot the esx box to see if it fixes the issue
I'm pretty sure this topic is covered in our Knowledgebase

Hi,
can you check the file /etc/resolv.conf . if dns server address wrong then edit VI editor give proper IP address of the DNS server.
and restart network service service network restart

It is reported that a dirty hack like this one exists - add the following line to the /etc/vmware/config :
vmauthd.server.alwaysProxy=TRUE
Here is also a possible KB for the issue:

Turns out after a restart of the ESX server the console has started working...so was a DNS issue..
