Hallo,

we just installed a latest 6.5 vCenter on Windows 2012R2 with the latest patches.

Memory 16 GB / 4 Cores in a ESXi 6.0 VM, plenty of HD memory free.

The first few days the server worked very well. Without any changes it begun to get more and more unresponsive.

Finally we can't work anymore with it. After restart it is now not responding anymore. See below ...

After startup is finished the Web Client shows the following message.

URL: https://192.168.2.10/

503 Service Unavailable (Failed to connect to endpoint: [class Vmacore::Http::NamedPipeServiceSpec:0x000000d54dcd5ef0] _serverNamespace = / action = Allow _pipeName =\\.\pipe\vmware-vpxd-webserver-pipe)

The URL: https://192.168.2.10/vsphere-client/?csp

Show the login screen:

After login, the mask (sectioned screen, On the left "Hosts and Clusters" is selected by default.) without content in the white areas, appears. It never fills (waited 30 minutes).

On top a message says:

"Es konnte keine Verbindung zu einem oder mehreren vCenter Server-Systemen hergestellt werden:

https://vCenter.test.com:443/sdk"

When I go to this url I get this message:

503 Service Unavailable (Failed to connect to endpoint: [class Vmacore::Http::LocalServiceSpec:0x000000c10f8bf5d0] _serverNamespace = /sdk action = Allow _port = 8085)

Going to Home (Button on top) shows the expected screen.

But "Hosts and Clusters" does not respond.

All other Menues on the left do work.

Memory consumption is 7,5GB of 16GB, no load on CPU (4%).

-------

I triple checked all hosts files and IP addresses.

I checked vsphere_client_virgo.log and found many exceptions.
