"No host data available" Reported in Hardware Status Tab

Just noticed a issue that nothing reported in 'Hardware Status' tab of ESXi hosts in vSphere Web Client. KB 2112847 gives a solution but not works for me. The feature can be used to monitor hardware failures. I figured out a way to workaround it. You just need to login by Administrator account and click 'Update' button under 'Monitor' - 'Hardware Status' for each ESXi host. You will get the status after few minutes.

Connect-NsxtServer shows "Unable to connect to the remote server"

When you run Connect-NsxtServer in the PowerCLI, it may show "Unable to connect to the remote server".  Because the error message is a little bit confusing with other login issues.

You need to set the PowerCLI to ignore the invalid certificate with the following command: Set-PowerCLIConfiguration -Scope User -InvalidCertificateAction:Ignore -Confirm:$false

vSphere Web Client stuck on the loading screen

It’s been a while since my last post. I got an exciting issue a few days ago. I was trying to log in to a vCenter Server in Chrome. I can see the login screen and enter the credential. However, I was not able to get into the main page. vSphere Web Client was stuck on the “loading.” The reason is the Chrome version was 50. It’s incompatible with the vSphere Web Client version. Here are the vSphere Client requirements for your convenience.
