Hello,
we have been using VMware VSphere client 5.5 on Windows 10 Enterprise, to connect to 3 of our ESXis. So far it worked. But today I am not able to connect any of the 3 ESXis. We have not changed anything on the ESXi side. The error is,
vSphere Client could not connect to "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx".
An unknown connection error occurred. (The client could not send a complete request to the server. (The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a send.))
Only change what I did on my windows client is, I tried to install VMPlayer for some testing purpose. And after installation, rebooted the windows client. On reboot, Winodws installed some regular updates. Maybe that could be the reason.
I searched google and this forum and did try few things. But no luck!!!
I tried to restart following processes on one of the ESXis but that did not help.
/etc/init.d/hostd restart
/etc/init.d/vpxa restart
I tried to reinstall VSphere client, tried to install some other versions but same error. I even allowed the Application VpxClient.exe in my Windows Defender Firewall. Just in case it stops this application. But no help.
Then I tried to look for some errors on ESXi Host, to check, if the connection at all is going upto the ESXi or not. But /var/log/auth.log do not specify any significant messages.
Are there any other logs to check to make sure if the connection from VSphere Client at all goes past to ESXi?
I am running out of ideas now. Hence request you all experts to guide me in right direction.
Thanx in advance.
Regards.
