1. Can connect using dcui or ssh.<br />
2. Restarted network agents as well as host and did not resolve the issue.<br />
<br />
Getting the following message when trying to connect: &quot;VmWare could not connect to &quot;server ip&quot;. An unknown connection occurred. (The client could not send a complete request to the server. (The client could not send a complete request to the server. The underlying connect was closed. An unexpected error occurred on the send. ))<br />
<br />
Is there a way getting vsphere client to work using ssh or dcui?<br />
<br />
Is there a way initiating backup of the vm using ssh?<br />
<br />
Please advise.

Cannot connect to VMware ESXI 5.5 host with vsphere client

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.
