This 503 error may be due different factors:

Some services have not loaded yet and are not running
vCenter Server is on maintenance
vCenter server is still rebooting
vCenter Server is overloaded
Disk issues occurred on vCenter Server
There are issues with a database used by vCenter
Incorrect firewall settings (for vCenter installed on Windows) and network issue

Do consider these articles for further tips

If the host is added to vCenter then, launch vSphere Web Client and migrate vcsa appliance server to another working host

Re: What's in an Update

@jscooper22

VMware Update Manager is available on version 6.7 and older version and Lifecycle Manager is available on VMware vSphere version 7.0 and above. You cannot find Update Manager in version 7.0 and above

To create the baseline, go to the Lifecycle Manager, create a new baseline and import the appropriate HPE custom image
Follow screen prompt to configure baseline and wait for baseline setup to finish
Now go to the specific host and click the update tab, add new baseline and attach the baseline created from the above step
Click attach and remediate
Wait for the remediation to run
The host will be reboot and new ESXi version 7 should be available

Re: Issues with Horizon 2212 and black screens

Hi,

What happens when you roll-back to the previous version?
I used version 2111 and it works perfectly fine.

Consider this VMware Horizon 8 version 2212 documentation for known issues.

Give it sometime and recheck again. The node should be up once the booting process is completed.

I am now able to access the VMware Connect Learning portal.

Re: ESX hosts not responding

Sam0054 — Sat, 28 Jan 2023 08:06:18 GMT

I had similar issue quite a while back and what I did to fix the issue was rebooting vCenter server VM.

The host went into disconnect status whenever Veeam Backup wants to take VM snapshots on the host to run scheduled backup jobs.

Hope that helps

Re: Upgrade from version 6 to version 7

@LinaV

Unfortunately, you cannot do a direct upgrade from 6.0 to 7. You have to first upgrade to 6.5, then to, 6.7 and finally to 7.0

@GonBlank

Have you try reboot the vCenter server VM?
SSH using the root password to reboot the VM. This will enable all the services to restart. There might be service that is haltering you to access the vSphere console

Re: Migrating VM with snapshots

@BrianP805

How many datastore you have besides the two hosts specified?

If you have another datastore with free space roughly at 3TB, then, try storage vMotion to VM with containing more snapshots to that datastore and point it to host 2.

Otherwise, I don't understand why you have multiple snapshots on a single VM as snapshot is not a good backup option.

Re: Error Windows Server Upgrade

Sam0054 — Mon, 17 Oct 2022 01:23:22 GMT

@hendragwen

Before you begin the upgrade process, ensure that you met all Server 2022 system requirements. Try consider the following when doing the upgrade.

You cannot do in-place upgrade from Windows Server 2012 to 2022
Upgrade to 2016, then to 2019 and finally to 2022
Ensure you have enough storage and member in place

Hope this helps.

Sam
