vCenter Server not responding
Hi,
I have a VMware environment and it has been working great.
Just 5 minutes ago I tried to connect to the vCenter Server using the web interface and I can't connect.
The ping works, and the servers are running because the services are up and running.
So my question is, how can I troubleshoot this scenario?
Thanks.

i would restart the vcenter services
it will take several minutes so be patient
if after a while it still doesn't work, i would reboot the vcenter server
i experienced this before and a reboot clears it up

I'm running vSphere 6
Can't connect using vSphere Client
The URL I have been using all this time is
https://10.10.88.50/vsphere-client/?csp
comes back with classic "This page can't be displayed"

And how exactly can I reboot the vCenter Sever if I can't connect to it.
Can you please walk me through the scenario?

Can you not RDP into the vCenter Server? vCenter and ESXi are completey different.
Did you change the default port from 9443?

May I ask what you did to fix the issue? Were you able to SSH into the host?

In the end it was a routing issue.
I'm new here and for some reason the firewall was set as the gateway in the DHCP, and even though I was able to connect before all of the sudden I wasn't.
My solution was to change that in the DHCP server so that the gateway is now the Switch Stack, which is the one handling connectivity between the different vlans.
