Hello,
we just recognized that we could not access the "Storage Vies" Tab in VSphere Client.
We get the message "The server xxx could not interpret the clients request (404).
So I went to our vCenter-Server (5.1) and noticed that the Service "VirtualCenter management webservice" was not started.
So I started it manually, after that the service has been ended immediately....
I also tried to do a telnet test on the vCenter Server with Port 8443 and I got no response. So I can say there´s no other application which blocks that port....
So I googled arround and found a hint for the file "C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\tomcat\logs\vf.tc-events.txt"
Here´s the content:

From that output I guess there seems to be a license Issue, cause the expiration-date is in the past....
But our VCenter-Server and the Hosts are well licensed. Never Expires....
So what the *** is going on there?
Do we need additional licsense to display the content of the "storage view" tab?
Can anybody help?
