HI All,

i am getting a strange error which i can not pin point.

I have checked services and VPXD doesnt seem to be able to start. Nothing has changed in the environment.

Strangly i am still able to login to VCenter but nothing appears as the page can not find a vcenter server

i have check vpxd logs and i dont really get any thing relevant. not sure if im looking in the wrong place

I did notice this same appearing in my Lab environment.

got resolved by rebooting my vCenter Appliance.

did you reboot your vCenter host already, is it appliance or windows vCenter server?

I am getting pretty much the same thing. Was this ever resolved? If so how?

Just found this KB and it resolved the issue. Need to ensure time is the same as the host (NTP in my case).

Reboot VCenter and resolved. Appeared to Drift by about 6 minutes over a couple of months.
