Community. &nbsp;I am using vCenter Server 5.0.0. &nbsp;I have two hosts I want to connect to. Once is running vSphere Client 5.0.0 and the other is vShpere Client 5.1.0 on ESXi v5.1.0.<br />
<br />
I can connect to Client 5.0.0 with vCenter 5.0.0 but when I try to connect to the Client 5.1.0, even though I'm able to go through the motion of adding it, it times out and enters a disconnected state. &nbsp;See screenshot.<br />
<br />
I thought I may need to update my vCenter Server to 5.1.0 in order to see vSphere 5.1.0 but I wasn't sure.<br />
<br />
Thanks.<br />

Community.  I am using vCenter Server 5.0.0.  I have two hosts I want to connect to. Once is running vSphere Client 5.0.0 and the other is vShpere Client 5.1.0 on ESXi v5.1.0.

I can connect to Client 5.0.0 with vCenter 5.0.0 but when I try to connect to the Client 5.1.0, even though I'm able to go through the motion of adding it, it times out and enters a disconnected state.  See screenshot.

I thought I may need to update my vCenter Server to 5.1.0 in order to see vSphere 5.1.0 but I wasn't sure.

Thanks.

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.

Microsoft Virtual Server was a virtualization solution that facilitated the creation of virtual machines on the Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows Server 2003 operating systems. Virtual machines are created and managed through a web-based interface that relies on Internet Information Services (IIS) or through a Windows client application tool called VMRCplus. Features included Linux guest operating system support, Virtual Disk Precompactor, symmetric multiprocessing (SMP), x64 host operating system support, the ability to mount virtual hard drives on the host machine and additional operating systems support, including Windows Vista, and a volume shadow copy writer.

Microsoft Virtual Server

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.
