Hi Michele, the same story by me after changing of vCenter IP address. I was able to solve it like described in KB 1014639: - Stop the Update Manager service: Click Start > Run, type services.msc , then click OK to open Services. Right-click the VMware Update Manager service and click Stop. -  start VMwareUpdateManagerUtility.exe from C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\Infrastructure\Update Manager\ - correct old vcenter IP to the proper one - apply the changes - Start the Update Manager service again. I hope it helps . Regards vCop

Hello Community, I was using vSphere Client to connect two our vCenters version 4.1 and adjusted my start icon like this: "C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\Infrastructure\Virtual Infrastructure Client\Launcher\VpxClient.exe" -s vcenter4A -u mydomain\admin66 After clicking on such prepaired icon I was just needed to choose vcenter4A or vcenter4B, type my password and after press on OK button I was successfully logged in. Since last week we have vCenter version5 in use and after my first connect to vcenter5 my vSphere Client was upgraded with v5 module. And the behavior of my prepaired icon  "...\VpxClient.exe" -s vcenter4A -u mydomain\admin66 changed dramatically. If I click on my icon now, the vSphere Client is trying to login immediately... with blank password field (!)... Sure it running in the error message. My question: Can I prevent vSphere Client (v5) to login automatically by using -u and -s parameters? Is there any hidden parameters like : VpxClient.exe -s vcenter4A -u mydomain\admin66 -NoAutoLogin   ? PS: Theoretically I can use -p myPassword, but I don't want to enter it in clear text. It should be encrypted. Possible? Thx in advance. JK
Hi all, service mgmt-vmware restart service vmware-vpxa restart ... on the vMotion source host (esx4.0 U1) was a solution for me. Thx for the hint! Regards, JK

Hi Prokurator, the same story by me (see attached screenshot). vSphere 4.1 and vCenter converter 4.2.1 Firewall checked - no dropped pakets. Restarted the service vmware-converter-server-vc [Display name "VMware vCenter Converter Integrated Server"] and viola... vCenter Converter Wizard "Import Machine" starts without any errors!

The reason for this issue was an old NX driver for Qlogic NICs. Solution: I used newest driver from HP page: "VMware ESX/ESXi 4.x Driver CD for QLogic Intelligent Ethernet Adapters - v4.0.585 31.Mrz 2011" Than extracted this ISO (vmware-esx-drivers-net-nx-nic_400.4.0.585-1vmw.2.17.00000.370920.iso) with winrar, copied the ZIP-file from offline-bundle\ntx-nx_nic-4.0.585-164009-offline_bundle-370920.zip to the esxi host and installed it with following command: /tmp/offline-bundle #  esxupdate --bundle=ntx-nx_nic-4.0.585-164009-offline_bundle-370920.zip update After reboot I was able to change Link/Speed setting on all of vmnic's! PS: It seems that the nic driver AND the firmware was updated: BEFORE: ~ # ethtool -i vmnic0 driver: nx_nic version: 4.0.570 firmware-version: 4.0.527 AFTER: ~ # ethtool -i vmnic0 driver: nx_nic version: 4.0.585 firmware-version: 4.0.544 So long...
