Dear folks
I just upgraded my FREE ESXi 4.1U1 system to FREE ESXi 5. So far so good. The box is working fine so far.
The problem I have is when editing the settings of a VM especially, when I press the "Add"-Button to add some new
devices e.g. a new harddisk.
Or when I press "Edit" under "Configuration->Licensed Features"
Nothing happens for about 15 seconds and then the following error message appers:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The request failed because the remote server '192.168.1.10' took to long to respond. (The command has timed out
as the remote server is taking to long to respond.)
Call "PropertyCollector.RetrieveContents" for object "ha-property-collector" on ESXi "192.168.1.10" failed.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This only happens in the situations mentioned above. All other dialogs and settings seem work fine.
- Re-Registering VMs in the inverntory doesn't help (As seen it is not only a VM related problem --> Licensed features as well)
- I disabled Desktop Firewall and Antivirus
- vSphere Client version is: 5.0.0 / 455964
- It happens for existing and for new VMs.
- I can remove devices such as Floppy Drive. That works fine.
Any idea how I can get back the ability to "Add" devices to my VMs?
Regards,
Oliver
