vCenter Service Status and Hardware Status plugin errors in vSphere 5.1 – Plug-In Manager not working

參考文獻：https://communities.vmware.com/thread/441057

進vSphere Client的Plug-In會出現這樣的錯誤並無法啟用

=========

vCenter Service Status

VMware, Inc.

5.1

Disabled

Displays the health status of

vCenter services The following error occured while downloading the script plugin from https://10.10.10.15:8443/healthui/scriptConfig.xml: The client could not send a complete request to the server. (基礎連接已關閉: 傳送時發生未預期的錯誤。)

=========

解決方式：

1.遠端連線到vSphere Server(Windows 2008 Server)

2.複製備份此檔案一份C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\tomcat\conf\server.xml，防錯誤可改回原設定。

3.將下列字串

<Connector SSLEnabled="true" acceptCount="100" ciphers="TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA, TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA, TLS_ECDH_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA, TLS_ECDH_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA, TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA, TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA, TLS_DH_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA, TLS_DH_DSS_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA, TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA, TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA,TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, TLS_DH_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, TLS_DH_DSS_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA" connectionTimeout="20000" executor="tomcatThreadPool" keystoreFile="${bio-vmssl.keyFile.name}" keystorePass="${bio-vmssl.SSL.password}" keystoreType="PKCS12" maxKeepAliveRequests="15" port="${bio-vmssl.https.port}" protocol="HTTP/1.1" redirectPort="${bio-vmssl.https.port}" scheme="https" secure="true"></Connector>

改成下列字串

<Connector SSLEnabled="true" acceptCount="100" ciphers="SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_MD5, SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA, TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA, TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA, TLS_ECDH_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA, TLS_ECDH_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA, TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA, TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA, TLS_DH_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA, TLS_DH_DSS_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA, TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA, TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, TLS_DH_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, TLS_DH_DSS_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, SSL_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA, SSL_DHE_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA, SSL_DHE_DSS_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA" connectionTimeout="20000" executor="tomcatThreadPool" keystoreFile="${bio-vmssl.keyFile.name}" keystorePass="${bio-vmssl.SSL.password}" keystoreType="PKCS12" maxKeepAliveRequests="15" port="${bio-vmssl.https.port}" protocol="HTTP/1.1" redirectPort="${bio-vmssl.https.port}" scheme="https" secure="true"></Connector>

4.重啟WebManagement 服務(VirtualCenter Management Webservices service)

5.再進vSphere client後果然

==================

原文:

Let me guess, you are using a proxy or Windows XP?  VMware will tell you its an OS issue and to refer you to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/948963 .

My fix was restoring the original Tomcat server config, comparing what changed, and putting it back.  I take no responsibility if this breaks something else, but it fixed my problem (which is exactly the same error you seem to be having — missing hardware status tab / 2 errors in the plug-in).

Backup and edit this file:  C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\tomcat\conf\server.xml

Locate this line:

<Connector SSLEnabled="true" acceptCount="100" ciphers="TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA, TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA, TLS_ECDH_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA, TLS_ECDH_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA, TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA, TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA, TLS_DH_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA, TLS_DH_DSS_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA, TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA, TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA,TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, TLS_DH_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, TLS_DH_DSS_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA" connectionTimeout="20000" executor="tomcatThreadPool" keystoreFile="${bio-vmssl.keyFile.name}" keystorePass="${bio-vmssl.SSL.password}" keystoreType="PKCS12" maxKeepAliveRequests="15" port="${bio-vmssl.https.port}" protocol="HTTP/1.1" redirectPort="${bio-vmssl.https.port}" scheme="https" secure="true"></Connector>

Replace it with this:

<Connector SSLEnabled="true" acceptCount="100" ciphers="SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_MD5, SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA, TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA, TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA, TLS_ECDH_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA, TLS_ECDH_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA, TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA, TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA, TLS_DH_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA, TLS_DH_DSS_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA, TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA, TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, TLS_DH_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, TLS_DH_DSS_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, SSL_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA, SSL_DHE_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA, SSL_DHE_DSS_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA" connectionTimeout="20000" executor="tomcatThreadPool" keystoreFile="${bio-vmssl.keyFile.name}" keystorePass="${bio-vmssl.SSL.password}" keystoreType="PKCS12" maxKeepAliveRequests="15" port="${bio-vmssl.https.port}" protocol="HTTP/1.1" redirectPort="${bio-vmssl.https.port}" scheme="https" secure="true"></Connector>

Restart the WebManagement service to take effect.

I basically restored the missing ciphers (RC4/SSL/3DES) that were present in VCenter 5.0.  It’s probably less secure, but it fixes the issue.  To the VM developers who though SSO was a brilliant idea and the QA testers who made 5.1 possible… I really really hate you.
