vCenter Client Frequent Disconnects from vCenter Server 5.5 STD

[YUGKRISHNA2012]

Hi All,

We experienced the issues with vCenter Client Frequent Disconnects from vCenter Server 5.5 STD.

I already referred everything in the following thread however still No Go.

Re: Cannot connect to vCenter Server 5.0 using the vSphere Client - unknown error.

viClinet Error Log as follows:-

[viclient:Error   :W:18] 2015-02-04 19:30:30.449  RMI Error Vmomi.Core.PropertyCollector.WaitForUpdates - 140

I finally checked the Network Card on the vCenter VM and changed it from E1000 to vmxnet3 and the issue seems to be resolved now.

Please award pints if the solution worked for you.

Thanks,
