And ultimately, you can still manage ESXi free from the traditional client - many SMBs don't really need any of the advanced features. You can get a vSphere Essentials kit, which gives you licensing for 3 ESXi hosts (with up to 2 CPUs each) and a single vCenter server, for ~$500:Īnd last I checked, Workstation was still less than $100 for a license. Kind of crazy though for small business, how you can use ESXi but then they say features are missing if you use the Windows application, but if you go to their site and try to buy vCenter it says it's like $6044 lol. So just confusing that the system tells you to download it, and then it says it's old, so thought maybe I was missing something obvious. The Auto Deploy service is stopped by default.It's just confusing how they do it because when you access the server in the browser after a fresh install, it goes on about using the web client there, and then says download vSphere manager or whatever it is to manage your VMs, but you download it from the link it gives you, and when you run that program, it says the message about this program is old and you should use the web client etc. The error message regarding Auto Deploy is caused by a stopped Auto Deploy service. If you need older C# client releases, you can ignore this error message. Newer releases of the C# client don’t have this plugin.

To get rid of this message, simply ignore it or remove the old vSphere C# client. The Storage Views tab is no longer available in the vSphere 6.0 Client. The Storage Reports selection from an object’s Monitor tab is no longer available in the vSphere 6.0 Web Client. The answer to this is written in the VMware vCenter Server 6.0 Release Notes. The error message regarding the VMware vCenter Storage Monitoring Service is an expected behaviour. VMware vCenter Storage Monitoring Service (Unable to connect to the remote server)īoth error messages have harmless reasons.

The following error occurred while downloading the script plugin from : The request failed because of a connection failure.

The other error message indicates a problem with Auto Deploy. The system cannot find the file specified. The plug-in failed to load on server(s) due to the following error:Ĭould not load file or assembly 'VI, Version=5.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7c80a434483c7c50' or one of its dependencies. The first message indicates a problem with the VMware vCenter Storage Monitoring Service.
