hard disks

[JakeClaytonTiso]

When i attempt to increase the size of our storage, there's no option in the dropdown of the Hard disks. it displays like this: 

hard Disks     5 total 4TB 

h

ard

disk 

1 

and there's nothing else on the screen for me to edit. I thought it might be browser related, i get the same error no matter which browser i try

Olá boa tarde,
Mesmo com a VM desligada não consegue editar as configurações do disco? De acordo com o printscreen que você enviou, sua máquina está ligada, é só com essa VM ou ocorre o mesmo problema em outras?

There's been a bug in a previous Web UI version. Applying a current patch should solve the issue.

thanks i would upgrade - but now i have a login error this morning - getting  Login failed due to invalid credentials for one or more vCenter Server systems:https://[servername]:443/sdk this is even using admin login administrator@vsphere.local. i dont know if it's relevent - but we updated our expiring STS certificates last night, as well as updating our group policy Time across our domain, (all devices were on different times).  My issues now - i can't access the hosts / clusters in vSphere client at all!

Hi. Are you able to login to VAMI on your vCenter?
https://ip_to_vcenter:5480

that brings up this problem: 

Exception in invoking authentication handler User password expired 

It looks like i need to update that password - but i don't get the option

[nordhuus · Accepted solution]

Then I would login to the Appliance Shell (SSH or VM Console) and change the root password.

[JakeClaytonTiso]

I dont know how to get to that console. Putty doesnt connect with the options i use. we have 3 x rack esxi servers - but they're just hosts, when i connect to them, i get the usual half black/ half yellow screen. i have connection details of the server itself

Is it something i download? 

[JakeClaytonTiso]

Its OK i've managed to log onto one of the ESXI servers - and can launch it from there. will let you know how i get on thanks for the help 

[JakeClaytonTiso]

OK so i've changed the time settings to sync to host instead of NTP (which was 10.1.1.5) but it's still the same. should i reboot the vCenter server under "actions" - I'm worried that it might affect our VMs, our DC and file store are all hosted 

[pcgeek2009]

You can safely reboot vCenter without impacting the running VM's. The VM's will continue to run on the host without vCenter. I have done this a number of times.

thanks for all the help that resolved it - a reboot of vcenter and a reset of the password via SSH
