Hi Mohamed,

please provide more details about your environment. Which version of vSphere/vCenter are you using? Are you using vCenter for Windows or the vCenter appliance? Do you use an external PSC or an embedded one?

As a starting point you can also try to search for your specific error code (com.vmware.vim.vmomi.core.exception.CertificateValidationException) in the VMware Knowledgebase.

What is your vCenter server exact build number? If you are in an earlier version than 6.5b please check this: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2148196

Next, check the status of all vCenter's services via the VAMI interface (http://vcsa_IP:5480) and make sure everything is working fine.

Then please tell me did you ever change the default certification of the vCenter server or .... register a new product to the vSphere environment like the NSX? So check the following link about your problem: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2109074

Please mark my comment as the Correct Answer if this solution resolved your problem

I have gone through the details of articles and finally with an recomendation, I have updated the Vcenter server and restarted the Server.

Moderator:

Tagging can be entirely appropriate when done for the right reasons - such as if you are already in conversation with someone within a thread, or there is a specific person you KNOW is an expert with a particular problem (eg. LucD in the PowerCLI area, continuum with corruption/recovery issues)

But tagging a large set of people simply to generate a notification to them is not necessary or desirable - the vast majority of us are here voluntarily, no matter how urgent your issue.
