No i never found the solution to it.  I opened a case with Vmware but they tried telling me it was a bug in the software causing that even though its not doing it on our second instance of vcenter on a different network.  I even upgraded the software and its still doing it so theres no way its a bug.
That worked I was able to see the console.  Thanks
Is there a way to access the VMware host service console remotely?
Looking in the vpxd log I see this event 2016-05-30T08:22:39.055-04:00 [07116 error '[SSO]' opID=20341374] [UserDirectorySso] AcquireToken exception: class SsoClient::InvalidCredentialsExcepti... See more...

The identity service is using the local system account and I looked in the credential manager and there isn't any saved passwords.
This all started after I changed the password for this account, it is a domain account and none of the services are using this account to login with.

We have HP ProLiant DL 165 G7's that are on the VMware compatibility matrix for esxi 5.5 but not 6.0.  I looked up the CPU, raid controller, and network adapters individually and they all show up as being compatible with 6.0.  We want to upgrade to 6.0 and even though model isn't but the components are is there any reasons why it wouldn't work running 6.0?
This is resolved.  It was the server the anti-virus uses for agentless anti-virus.
I looked and it was already using the machine account.
So I tried restarting the vcenter server after setting the default name now the local administrator account is failing to login trying to login to the domain.  I'll try your other option to.
It is using the active directory integrated authentication and I have deleted it and re-added and set it as the default domain as per that article but same thing happens.
I can't because that account has other processes that run under it.  But looked into some more logs and found this 015-09-16 09:15:39,056 ERROR  [ServerUtils] Exception 'com.vmware.identity.id... See more...

So far I have shutdown the VCops, vshield manager, and 3 other servers that could use the login but it still happens.  In the log the source and destination machine is the vcenter server.

I recently changed a domain account password and now on the vcenter server there are constant login failures that reference the VMware identity management service.   The service is logging in as a local system and is running.  Everything appears to be working within VMware and I can login using SSO but I constantly am getting login failures for that account.
The permissions look correct and the new hosts have access to the lun's.

I am adding two hosts to an existing cluster,  they are running off of Shared SAN storage with ISCSI connections.  On both of the new hosts I have connected it to the SANS and rescanned the storage.  All the LUNS show up but two datastores are missing from the datastore view, other datastore's show up.  The missing datastores do show up on the original host.  We are running vsphere 5.1 update 2 and both missing datastores are 2TB.  Any thoughts?
