Folks,
We recently changed the ESX https port to 450 and http port to 85.
Later I tried connecting to the ESX server, adding changed port along with ESX IP (Example: IP:450) through VDDK API to open the vmdk file of a VM as mentioned in the KB below. But the KB says only about vCenter and it doesnt mention about ESX. We have seen that this works when port is changed for VC. But facing problems following this when port is changed for ESX.
Got following VDDK error log and the open vmdk failed
