Hi,
I just did an upgrade to vi3.0.2 of an esx2.5.4 server using the boot CD.
After the restar, I cannot login to the MUI using http/https or VIC2 client.
I enable ssh root login and it's working great.
Sorry if the awnser is someware in the forum but I search for the las 30 minutes without any awnser that was working.
Regards.
Christian
Hi
First try to remove the host from the VC and re add it, this should install the agent again. If it does not work you might have to uninstall the agent.
To find the version run this
rpm -qa | grep vpx
You will see the version like this
VC 2.0.1 = VMware-vpxa-2.0.1-32042 ( i dont have the 2.0.2 )
then run
rpm -e VMware-vpxa-XXXXX depending on the version.
Then re add it to VC
Hope it helps.
If not it might be a firewall issue on the host.

Hello,
There is no longer a MUI in VI3. You should be able to connect to http://esxservername/ and get the UI... But that is for managing VMs not configuring the ESX server.
You should be able to connect the VIC direct to the ESX server by using the root user and specifying the ESXServerName.
If you can not do either of these, login to the console and troubleshoot the network.....
esxcfg-vswif -l
esxcfg-route -l
esxcfg-vswitch -l
esxcfg-nics -l
ping outsideHostname
Best regards,
Edward

Hi thanks to both of you for the reply.
For LarsLiljeroth , I forgot to mentionne that it is a stand alone server so there is no Virtual Center Agent.
So for the trouble shooting here's some awnser.

Pin, traceroute, and remote SSH console is wroking pretty good. I don't think it is a network problem...
Any other suggestions ?
I tried to restart http and management services, disable the firewall, still the same problem.
service mgmt-vmware restart
service vmware-webAccess restart
esxcfg-firewall -u
esxcfg-firewall -allowOutgoing
esxcfg-firewall -allowIncoming
and "service --status-all |grep running give me

you dont seem to have a vswitch configured for the "Service console" port group. You may want to check this
the vic replaced the mui as Ed pointed out.
When you connect to the server as above http://servername
where you able to download the virtual infrastructure client ?
If you open the downloaded client is it launching ?
are you on the same subnet as the esx server with the client ?
Is dns setup correctly for the server ?
Hi,
I do know that VIC replace de MUI but there is still de /ui url available on VI3.
I did'nt find out how to configure the network that the http deamon is listening on. is httpd depending on vmkernel network ?
How to set those in command line ?
I did some test but I might have the wrong sequence.
The "Service console" was using "Legacy eth0" portgroup instead of a regular "Service Console" port group.
I recreat it as "Service Console" portgroup without any luck for the rest execpt the service console.
I was testing some upgrade sénario with this test, but it seem like a fresh install might be better than an upgrade install...
I migth do a clean install this mornig...
