Are you using a low or unusual screen resolution? I have experienced that when running the vSphere Client in some screen configurations there seems to be some display bug where some options or information has either been "compressed" or not visible.

Dear Rickard:

I was check this with other user,still not HA Advanced Options.

And I also adjust screen size,still can not see.

It's looks ESXi 5.0 & VC remove this options?

Thanks

With screen size, you mean the screen resolution?

No, it is still available on vSphere 5, so there is something strange with your environment that makes this not visible.

[DannyHung]

Dear Rickard:

With screen size, I mean like this 800x600、1024x768.

Thanks for your info,I will double check with my environment,looks some strange!!!

Advanced options are still existing.

But note that some of then are changed in HA 5.0: http://vinfrastructure.it/en/2011/09/new-in-vsphere-5-vmware-ha-advanced-options/

I face the same problem , still without any solution ???

[psplnalin123]

Have u tried by disabling the HA and recheck once again or if you create a new cluster what happens in that scenario.

Install vSphere client on the different Desktop and then check by connecting the vCenter ru getting that options or not

Its look like a strange issue have you checked with the VMware for the same.

Hello,

i had the same issue, changing screen resolution did help. I could not see the advanced button in HA and also i could not see/partially other options like when configuring vmkernel port, i could not see text in options 'configure for vmotion' , it just was not there.

I have windows7 ent, what i did to fix it is:

1) go to the screen resolution panel

Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Display

2) you will notice there the option "Make text or other items smaller / bigger", click that

3)I had option 2 selected the Medium 125%,

4) change it to smaller -100 % , windows will ask you to reboot

5) After reboot it's working without any problems, i see the advanced button, and al l the text which was missing previously

Regards,

Greg

my current display text setting is " smaller -100 % " already

but I still can`t see the advanced button in HA

I have Windows XP and it is wokerd for me too. Thanks a lot, Grzesiekk.

[Grzesiekk]

No problem dmitryka! enjoy your vi client with THE button :smileywink:

[Grzesiekk]

Hi,

i think that this has to work... I know that might sound weird but...

Try to change the font to Medium %, ok , reboot, check -> if button is there. If not, Change the screen resolution, reboot, check if the button is there. -> if not then change to font to small %, change resolution to lower  and reboot. -> Check

If this will not help, then i can't help more as this is the same what i did. I have changed the screen resolutions few times, then the font size, and after this it helped. It worked for me. Do few changes/reboots and tell if that helped.

Let me know if that helped or you are still having this nasty error.

That link is regarding something else. It's about changing the advanced options(applying some additional properties to ha cluster). He does not see the button of the advanced options in the first place. I am also wondering if changing resolutions and the text sized helped him as it helped for me.
