Hi,
I have an ESX host that is running few VM. I know the VMs are running because i can connect to them using RDP connection, but when i try to use the "console" with my VI Client, i have an error :
Error connecting : cannot connect to host esxhost : (french error explaining it's a timeout) Une tentative de connexion a échoué car le parti connecté n'a pas répondu convenablement au-delà d'une certaine durée ou une connexion établie a échoué car l'hôte de connexion n'a pas répondu
Do you want to try again
I've check my network settings, and i didn't see misconfig and i've tried to restart the SC service, still in error ...
Any clue or idea ?
Thanks
If you do a "trace route" to your esx, can you reach it ?
Have you double check your network configuration both on your client and on esx ?
Are you sure you're not behind a firewall ? or are you sure your esx are not behind a firewall ?
Are you using DNS or host file ?
Post your network configuration, client and esx server
Bye

are you able to ping the service console?
I can PING my SC, yes, because i can open VI client (port 902) but i can't open console on the VM (port 903).
The thing is I have VLAN IDs :
VSWITCH0
=> 1 physical Eth0 (VLAN tag 1/10)
=> SC (VLAN ID = None or 1, i've tested differents config)
=> VM Port group (VLAN ID = 10)
VSWITCH1
=> 1 physical Eth1 (no VLAN tag)
=> a 2nd SC (VLAND ID = none)
=> VM Port group (VLAN ID = None)
I can open VI client on both SC, but i can only open VM console with the 2nd SC ...
I don't think it's a routing problem because you can reach both SC.
I repeat, are you sure you're not behind a firewall with 903/tcp closed to the first SC ?
Post IP configuration for all interfaces and for the machine you are using to connect to both sc.

Do you mean /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ files ?
I mean, post the output of "ifconfig" and the output of ipconfig /all on your pc

So, if I understand all you have :
SC1
175.144.4.5
SC2
175.144.4.9
and your PC have
IP : 172.22.149.16
Mask : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway : 172.22.149.2
What is : 172.22.149.2
is a firewall ?
Post the output of the following command from your PC :
ping 175.144.4.5

I think your problem is to have 2 SC ip addresses on the same network (175.144.0.0) - that is problematic IMHO.
Can you post following:
esxcfg-nics -l
esxcfg-vswif -l
I allready did those tests and the telnet 175.144.4.5 => timeout, so i configure 175.144.4.9 on the other ethernet card to make a try, and i can open telnet 175.144.4.9 903 from my PC ...
The difference between those cards is the VLAN ID configuration on the physical switch port and on the virtual switch
As I wrote you shouldn't have 2 SC on the same ip network - that would be your mistake.
