Hi all,
I have recently upgrade to vCenter version 5 on a fresh machine and subsiquently upgraded all the hosts to ESXi5. I am in the process of upgrading all the vmware tools installs, but being a medical installation I can't just bonce the boxes as I please.
Myself and my colleagues now have an intermitant issue where by both the console tab and the break out window will be a black screen when connected. This is in both the web client and the fat vSphere client. The guest have a mix of v4 & v5 vmware tools installed and it affects both.
It is almost like the console 'screens' have gone into power save and opening the console is not triggering them to wake up. The reason I say this is that several of the machines have vnc on them and if I have the console open (with the black screen) and connect in on vnc from my pc the console springs to life.
Everything is on the same site running over a Gb lan.
I've had a trawl through the forums and the only problems similar to this I can find are when connecting to esx 3.5 hosts from a 4.1 vcenter.
Has anyone experienced this before?
TIA
