    <description>&lt;P&gt;I backed out ESXi 8.0U2, regressed to 7.02, and then ESXi successfully connected to version 8.02a of vCenter Server.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Therefore either there is some incompatibility between ESXi 8.0U2 and vCenter Server 8.02a, or something went wrong with the upgrade process on ESXi.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I'm going to stay on 7.02 on this copy of ESXi until I get some answers about what happened.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;For the record I upgraded via the ISO image rather than using the offline upgrade bundle.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <title>ESXi 8.0U2 Can't connect to vCenter Server</title>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi folks:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I just upgraded a copy of ESXi 7 to ESXi 8.0U2 and after the upgrade I'm unable to connect it to vCenter Server (I have the essentials package).&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;At first I thought the problem may have been vCenter Server as prior to upgrading the host I upgraded vCenter Server to 8.02a, and I thought perhaps the issue was with the vCenter Server database, so I installed a brand new copy of vCenter Server 8.02a and the problem still happens.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;When I add the host to vCenter Server all goes well at first and the host for a brief moment appears in the inventory, then the host disconnects after vCenter Server puts out a task message saying "&lt;SPAN&gt;Generate a certificate signing request using the specified Distinguished Name".&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;That shows it completes, but immediately after that the host disconnects and won't connect again.&amp;nbsp; I have to remove the host from vCenter, stop service vpxa, and remove user vpxuser, at which point I can try again, but the same thing happens.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;The vpaxa log file shows a number of errors while this process is going on, some specifically about fields not being defined properly, and at timestamp 00:45:26.492Z there is a panic error 1089, whatever that means.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;I'm attaching the log file here, if it will fit.&amp;nbsp; All these messages were from a single attempt to connect the host to vcenter server.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;I've had no luck searching on this panic error, so I'm not sure what it's about.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;I was also discussing this in a thread in the vcenter server section, but after the problem recurrs on a freshly installed copy of vcenter server, I'm beginning to think the problem may be in the host.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
