vSphere client could not connect to esxi
Error message:
vmware vsphere client could not connect to "192.x.x.x". An unknown connection error occurred.
(The request failed because the remote server took too long to respond. (The operation has timed out))
Description:
Suddenly, after reboot windows station, vSphere client stopped working.
I have several esxi and each of them suddenly could not connect in vsphere client.
Restart esxi not solved this problem.
Login locally on esxi works correctly,
Enable and connect by ssh to esxi is also ok,
Connect to server esxi in vmware workstation is also ok.
Web access UI - Login and work ok.
I would like get vsphere client back to work.
