Posted by EminentX

Howdy,Yesterday I tried to ship an ISO file to ESXi server and I got below mistake:The operation failed for an undetermined reason. Typically this problem occurs due to certificates that the browser does not trust. If you are using self-signed or custom certificates, open up the URL below in a new browser tab and accept the document, then retry the operation. https://192.168.100.102 If this does not resolve the problem, other possible solutions are shown in this KB article: http://kb.vmware.comkb214725I tin can't transport a file size more than 4 GB using IE browser and too this can't be washed with other browsers due east.g Chrome, Firefox, ... I add the document using MMC snap-in and CMD Also, I did what beneath link say:https://kb.vmware.com/s/commodity/2147256Any help would be appreciated.Thank you

Hello to all,

Dear Rod-IT, Thanks for your efforts and time.

My problem has been solved by removing AV. Disabling AV services couldn't solve this event, therefore I was forced to uninstall it from the auto.

Thank you

You also dont state what version of ESXi this is, with or without vCentre?

Information technology looks similar you are uploading to an NFS share, perhaps a NAS, if so enable CIFS/SMB and copy it using windows directly to the NAS

Howdy there,

I'm non sure of the finer details of your setup, but hope this helps. I sometimes come beyond problems with uploading to VMWare Datastores, so I've taken to, where possible, uploading using an SCP Customer (for example, WinSCP). The issues I generally see is the speed of upload for large ISOs. Uploading using an SCP client is so much faster and more reliable.

Y'all have to enable SSH access on the VMWare ESXi, and of form, it is wise to switch off SSH access afterwards. I've pasted in some useful links below rather than reinventing the bike.

Overall set of steps:

- Enable SSH (either through the ESXi host settings, or from the console of the ESXi host)

- Download an SCP client

- Connect to the VMWare ESXi host/datastore

- Upload the ISO

- Switch off/disable SSH again

https://graspingtech.com/connect-esxi-6-5-host-using-ssh-windows/

https://graspingtech.com/transfer-files-vmware-esxi-six-five-host/

Hope it helps. Quick tip, pay close attention to the path that you're uploading to, beingness sure to follow the guidance and get the ISO in to the right location.

SSH and SCP are only required for uploads to local host, the OP seemed to be uploading to a remote datastore, over NFS (which for some reason they accept at present revoked).

They also provided two IP addresses, 1 of which I assume is the host, the other the IP for the storage, simply with things unclear and the OP coming back to edit their mail service and remove the screenshots, but not update united states, we accept but to wait for more information.

I'1000 going to exist taking a unlike approach, since yous besides have the other thread about AD Controllers...

Bank check DNS start, as others take suggested in both threads, but also check the wellness of your concrete network; notably your switches. You might take a network mistake acquired past cabling, hardware or firmware. This could explicate both problems.

Rod-IT, thanks for the extra info. I thought I must be missing something where you lot made reference to the two IPs and NFS, but if the OP has edited it and i didn't run into the original full mail, that makes sense. Thank yous for that

That makes no sense at all.

You lot never mentioned AV at the start, nor did y'all answer any questions asked, so how are people supposed to aid you lot if we dont know the details.

For what it'due south worth though, you dont get any points for awarding yourself best answer.

I encountered this in our vsphere environment, and to set it I opened the esxi hosts webpage that the error referenced, and accepted the certificate alert that Chrome/Firefox presented, went dorsum to vsphere and information technology worked

I have had this error before (vCenter / ESX 6.v) and had to connect directly to a host to upload a file to a datasore when i was unable to upload to the same storage via vCenter.

I have seen this before as well. If you lot do not have a proper security certificate on your hypervisors, and you try to upload a file through vCenter, the process fails due to the invalid certificate. One work around, normally works, is to browse direct to the hypervisor, get the invalid certificate warning, and go along to the hypervisor. Once this is done, retry uploading your file through vCenter.
