Can vSphere Web Client use only IP?

[nightwind209]

HI

I am newbie in vSphere.

I have a big problem at management vmware vSphere.

This my network topology.

I always use remote-PC to management vCenter.

The DNS2 is for PCs to internet connects.

The vCenter server is a group.

I can use vmware vsphere client(windows) in remote-PC connect 10.10.10.1 management it. It work fine.

But I can't use vSphere Web Client management it.

The url always show the domain and error

Step.

1. I fill in URL https://10.10.10.1/

I can see the vsphere web page.

2.I click login vSphere Web Client.

the url is  https://10.10.10.1/vsphere-client

it ok. continue

3.There have error.

The url show https://vm01.school.local/websso/saml2/ssossl?RelyingPartyEntityId=XXXXXX and can't find page

4.try edit url to https://10.10.10.1/websso/saml2/ssossl?RelyingPartyEntityId=XXXXXXand jump flash UI and the source is vm01.school.local again.

I know it is dns problem.

But i can't config the DNS2 for school.local

The vsphere web client page work fine in 10.10.10.1 itself.

Does the vCenter have any config can solve my problem?

Always use IP in web client?

Thank you for your patient.

You need to always use fully-qualified domain names when talking to vCenter. If you don't have DNS, you need to get some because, without it, vSphere will not work properly.

The vCenter have DNS ,"VMDNS" server.

The domain "school.local". It work fine.

But it only for the vCenter PCs.

The remote-PC use the "DNS2" server for outside internet. It not config for domain school.local.

Does any way to solve remote-PC connect via  vSphere Web Client problem with no change the "DNS2" server?

Thanks.

vmdnsd service no longer used in 6.x onwards

sorry for my topology mistake.

The "VMDNS" is a windows server DNS service use for this vCenter.

not a vmdnsd service.

The PC in the other subnet needs to have a forwarded available to it in the DNS server where it's pointed. All clients must be able to resolve the hostname of the vCenter Server, so if the first DNS server cannot within school.local then it needs to forward to another which is authoritative for that zone.
