PC and vcenter 8.0 connection failed after 30m without activity (pyVmomi). How to increase this TO

oeribon — Wed, 28 Dec 2022 16:20:15 GMT

Hello,

A python script (from a PC) open a connection with vcenter (SmartConnectNoSSL), task have different duration but I discover and I am able to reproduce the next script like

loop x=15, x=x+10, x<240 : connect / wait for x minutes /get info / disconnect

Works well if x stay below than 30 minutes

I try to manage different timeout in /etc/vmware-vpx/vpx.cfg or in gui of the vcenter without any success.

Could you help me to solve this problem.

Best regards,

Olivier

Hi,

Thank you for your explanation. You are totally right. But it seems there is no custom DELL ESXi 8.0 image yet.
I'll wait for Dell's response.

Actually, I'm using a 7.0 trial version (completed in a few days) and I have a real 8.0 license that I can't use.

Regards,

Olivier

Thanks for your comment,

iDRAC is probably not configured (I need to give a look on it). My problem seems to be linked with DellEMC Customized version of VMware ESXi Image. I need to found a new image for 8.0 version. I asked to the Dell support but no answer.

Thanks again

Before I try to create a USB stick from VMware-VMvisor-Installer-8.0-20513097.x86_64.iso and plug it in front of the server. Reboot and select F11 and USB but the running version after that was always the 7.0.3 (and not 8.0 live as expected) and no way to do an upgrade (or an install).

Please, could you help me.
