Hi Jonson, in your session run the command service mgmt-vmware restart and then try to connect again. Have any config changes been made on the server?

Have you checked the /var/log/vmkernel file for any warnings or error; cpu utilisation in COS "top"; free space on / "df -h"?

Are you using a nic's that are on the compatibility list? or did you change the nics in the server?

i get the sense that no vmkernel was created.
