Checking the vSphere web services

The vSphere web services must be operational so the IBM® Storage Support for Microsoft VSS and VDS can work properly in the guest Windows Server. By default, the vSphere web services are on when you load the VMware ESX(i) operating system.

To check whether the vSphere web services are online, use a web browser to access a VMware ESX(i) server or a vCenter Server IP address. For example:

https://189.0.0.222/mob

When prompted, enter the user credentials to log in to the hosted web services.
