vCenter certificate expired - Cannot access to vCenter Server Management and SSH

  • 1.  vCenter certificate expired - Cannot access to vCenter Server Management and SSH

    Hi. I hope solve this issue.

    Today we cannot access to vCenter to manage our servers.

    So checked and noticed (supposed to be) the situation is the vCenter certificate expired. I try access to vCenter Server Management to validate expiration certs (my vcenter addres is 192.168.0.212:5480 or :443 ) but i can´t. 

    And i tried access to SSH but not works too.

    Another issue i noticed there´s no 5480 listening or stablished port registred in the server vCenter. I scanned the ports but doesn´t exist that port related to vCenter Server Management.

    So what can i do to solve this issue?

    I have a vCenter 7.0.1 mounted on a Windows Server Storage 2016 (For VM Backups).

    Any comment it´s very apreciated.

    Use the following KB:

    https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2015600?lang=en_US 

    https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2112283

    you may need to log into the vcenter appliance through VM console as the SSH is not working for you.
