  • 1.  Cannot access esxi host

    Posted Jul 09, 2019 06:15 PM

    Hi guys,

    I recently installed esxi 6.7 on HP DL380 G10. I have done setting up ip address and ping to gateway was successful. Then I checked if the port 443 was open by issuing ’telnet ip_address 443’ from my pc and it was successful. But I cannot access the web gui when I put ‘https://ip_address’ or ‘https://ip_address/ui’.

    there is a firewall between my pc and the esxi host. But since the port 443 is open, there seems to be no issues with firewall. where can I start with to find out the reason?

    Please add :9443 after IP address or vCenter name and then try.

    Can you double check if the IP address assigned to the ESXi is not duplicated? Also, please login to ESXI through the SSH and run the following command to check if Host Client vib is correctly installed:

    #   esxcli software vib list | grep esx-ui

    Okay I will try this when the network team opens the port 22. I will keep you updated. Thanks for the advice.
