It's either being blocked, or it's in use already.<br />
<br />
Also check that a firewall rule is defined on the host.

Hi Andrew,<br />
<br />
Thanks for responding.<br />
<br />
The strange thing is I can get some kind of connection when configure the serial port for telnet access.<br />
<br />
The firewall is as follows:<br />
<br />

Andrew,<br />
<br />
Are you saying that the port 9009 may be in use already?
</div>


<div>
Yes, or <a href="https://" rel="ugc nofollow">https://</a><br />
<br />
telnet on the same port ? 9009 ?
</div>


<div>
I have tried port 9009 on both telnet and <a href="https://" rel="ugc nofollow">https://</a>. <br />
<br />
On telnet I do get a connection, however when I try to browse to <a href="https://64.186.XX.XX:9009" rel="ugc">https://64.186.XX.XX:9009</a>&nbsp;I get nothing.
</div>


<div>
Andrew,<br />
<br />
Just to make myself clear, I configured the port with telnet://64.187.XX.XX:9009<wbr /> and I wasnt refused a telnet connection. However, when I configured the serial port with <a href="https://64.187.XX.XX:9009" rel="ugc">https://64.187.XX.XX:9009</a>&nbsp;I got a blank page when I tried to browse to <a href="https://64.187.XX.XX:9009" rel="ugc">https://64.187.XX.XX:9009</a><br />
<br />
Cheers

<div>
If you select <a href="https://" rel="ugc nofollow">https://</a>&nbsp;and select the Connected Button do you get an error ?
</div>


<div>
Where is your reference to using <a href="https://" rel="ugc nofollow">https://</a><br />
<br />
I've only ever seen telnet in all the documentation?<br />

Hi Andrew,<br />
<br />
I get the following error:<br />

<div>
That is correct - not supported.<br />
<br />
See docs above.<br />
<br />
Use telnet.

The Page 32 I'm looking at does not show any reference to configuring VM Serial Port re-direction via <a href="https://" rel="ugc nofollow">https://</a>&nbsp;!!!<br />
<br />
or telnet!<br />
<br />
<i>Use one of the supported browsers to access the UCS Director instance that you deployed to perform next set of instructions</i><br />
<br />
e.g. access it via it's IP Address on the LAN<br />
<br />
As this was an OVF that was Imported, I also assume you must have added the serial port?
</div>


<div>
Andrew,<br />
<br />
Yes I did add the serial port. <br />
<br />
In the doc, it mentions accessing the UCS via web browser with an ip address. I assume I therefore needed to add serial port and configure the connection for http or https...
</div>


<div>
Did you notice this page from the doc?<br />
<br />
<a href="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2014/11_w47/883330/ucs.PNG" target="_blank" title="ucs (47 KB)"><img alt="ucs" class="file-block lazyload" style="max-width: 800px;" data-src="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2014/11_w47/800_883330/ucs.PNG" /></a>
</div>


<div>
Yes, that means put<br />
<br />
<a href="https://192.168.110.61:443/" rel="ugc">https://192.168.110.61:443/</a><br />
<br />
in your Web Browser.<br />
<br />
Not define a serial port on the VM!<br />
<br />
The VM must have be designed and support for a serial port, in the VM, to output to a serial port!<br />
<br />
You cannot just Add a Serial Port, and hope the data comes out, to telnet or a browser!
</div>


<div>
Ahhhh, <br />
<br />
I get that but the VM sits on a server/host in the cloud. Therefore, to accces the VM, will I not need to go through the host and connect through a port?<br />
<br />
I know the above statement might sound confusing, but what I'm trying to say is that the ip address I assign to VM must be the public address of the host, in this case, 64.187.XX.XX followed by a port number - similar to the way I access routers, i.e telnet://64.187.XX.XX:9009<wbr /><br />
<br />
Does that make sense?
</div>


<div>
Andrew,<br />
<br />
It may well be I need to create a Windows VM and connect to the UCS via the Windows VM? That is to say RDP into the Windows VM and open a browser from there and connect to the UCS?<br />
<br />
Have created a link showing novices how to create a Windows VM and connect to it via RDP?<br />
<br />
Cheers
</div>


<div>
That very much depends on how the network is configured....<br />
<br />
and what networking you have...<br />
<br />
traditionally, if I was using it on a local LAN, that appliance would be accessible via the LAN, because all the other devices and workstations are on the same LAN.<br />
<br />
If your VMs DO NOT HAVE Public IP Addresses, or NAT which can access those internal IP Addresses, you will indeed have to connect to a VM, on the network, using RDP, and then Access from that VM.<br />
<br />
Adding telnet:// and <a href="https://" rel="ugc nofollow">https://</a>&nbsp;(not supported) is not the method.
</div>


<div>
Hi Andrew,<br />
<br />
Thanks for getting back to me. <br />
<br />
I have created a virtual Windows 7 machine. Can you let me know how to access the newly created VM?<br />
<br />
Cheers
</div>


<div>
Put the following in your web browser<br />
<br />
<a href="https://192.168.110.61:443/" rel="ugc">https://192.168.110.61:443/</a><br />
<br />
in your Web Browser.<br />
<br />
Assuming the VM is on the same subnet network, and physical /virtual network!
</div>


<div>
Thanks again for responding. <br />
<br />
Can you let me know how to connect to the newly created windows 7 VM remotely?<br />
<br />

VMware VM Connection Problem

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.
