vSphere client could not connect to "IP", An Unknown connection error occurred

[Vijesh007]

Hello Everbody,

we have 4 ESXi Servers in our environment which hosts multiple VMs. These ESXi hosts are managed individually with VMware vSphere  client (software). We do not use VCenter.

3 hosts are working fine, problem is with only 1 ESXi  host which is not getting connected via vSphere client.

I am able to ping that IP but not able to take ssh session of that host. cannot open via web as well.

i am able to ping and take ssh sessions of virtual machines hosted on that ESXi server.

but cannot open it through Vsphere client.

Please Help.

Thanks,

Vijesh

Do you have DCUi access?

Just a thought. Ensure that you don't have another system that has (accidentally) the same IP address assigned to it.

What you may try for troublshooting, is to run arp -a, and check the MAC address that shows up for that IP address after running a ping.
