from VMware vSphere 5.1 Documentation Center The Hardware Status tab displays the following error message: the remote name could not be resolved SERVER_NAME where SERVER_NAME is the domain name of the vCenter Server system. This error appears when the client system is unable to resolve the domain name of the vCenter Server system. Either fix the domain name resolution problem, or edit the file \extensions.xml on the vCenter Server system and replace the vCenter Server domain name with its IP address. Would like to compare the four below with other group's setup In my group's setup - 1. file is called C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\VirtualCenter Server\extensions\cim-ui\extension.xml -- notice it is singular and not plural 2. the file itself (extension.xml) references scriptConfig.xml, but there is not file scriptConfig.xml in our directory (C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\VirtualCenter Server\extensions\cim-ui) 3. there is no domain name or ip reference to the vCenter server in the extension.xml file, but rather it states - "<url>https://*:8443/cim-ui/scriptConfig.xml</url>" 4. is it suppose to be 8443 or 5989 in this file? dir output C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\VirtualCenter Server\extensions\cim-ui>dir Directory of C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\VirtualCenter Server\extens ions\cim-ui 10/07/2013 11:35 AM <DIR> . 10/07/2013 11:35 AM <DIR> .. 11/12/2012 11:44 AM 790 extension.xml 11/12/2012 11:44 AM <DIR> locale 2 File(s) 1,580 bytes 3 Dir(s) 1,107,329,024 bytes free contents of extension.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <config> <extension> <name>cim-ui</name> <version>5.1</version> <company>VMware, Inc.</company> <description> <label>vCenter Hardware Status</label> <summary>Displays the hardware status of hosts (CIM monitoring)</summary> </description> <certificate>ssl/rui.crt</certificate> <keyFile>ssl/rui.key</keyFile> <servers> <server> <url>https://*:8443/cim-ui/scriptConfig.xml</url> <description>vCenter Hardware Status</description> <company>VMware, Inc.</company> <type>com.vmware.vim.viClientScripts</type> <adminEmail>noreply@vmware.com</adminEmail> </server> </servers> </extension> </config>
