vSphere web Services

vSphere web Services must be operational for the Volume Shadow Copy Service and Virtual Disk Service to work properly in the guest Windows Server. By default, vSphere web Services are on when you load the ESX/ESXi operating system.

To check if vSphere web Services are online, use a web browser to access an ESX(i) server or a vCenter Server IP address. For example https://189.0.0.222/mob

A prompt appears for the user credentials to log in the hosted web services. The “189.0.0.222” is an example of an ESX(i) server or a vCenter Server IP address.
