<div>
That was it.<br />
<br />
I was using administrator<br />
<br />
I thought that might be a problem so I typed what I thought was right:<br />
administrator.vsphere.loca<wbr />l and got an authentication error<br />
<br />
Then I remembered the @ sign:<br />
administrator@vsphere.loca<wbr />l<br />
<br />
I'll never forget that again. &nbsp;That was a very frightening few minutes. &nbsp;I thought all my work was somehow erased.<br />
<br />
Anyway, like I said, thanks a million.

This is extremely frustrating. &nbsp;I am new to vsphere webclient and vcenter and I spent a long time yesterday building a datacenter, adding a vcenter (I think I'm using the right terminology) adding in hosts, migrating vm's from one host to another and a bunch of other smaller tasks.<br />
<br />
Today I log in and everything is zero, zero, zero, zero.<br />
<br />
How can this be? &nbsp;What's going on?<br />
<br />
Can someone please help me?<br />
<br />
Thanks a million in advance.

My vcenter datacenter disappears with each logout/login!

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.
