vSphere Client and vCenter Server 5.1.

On Windows 7 SP1, after installing Microsoft KB3161608 https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3161608 (this is a rollup the actual kb is KB3161639 https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3161639) there is a problem searching with the vSphere Client:

– The error message is:

Login to the query service failed.

An SSL error occurred, (The Request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel.)

– Also, Event ID 36888 (Schannel) is raised:

The following fatal alert was generated: 40. The internal error state is 808.

– Browsing with IE to https://vcenter_server:10443 returns:

This page can’t be displayed

     while in Chrome it returns a valid response

 

Uninstalling KB3161608 fixes all of the above.

 

Has anyone else noticed it? any workaround?

I am trying to create a Powercli script for adding additional disks to Sql vms. Scripts runs fine but the disks labels wont create evenly across multiple scsi controllers.

 

Ideally this is what I am trying to get.

 

Hard disk 1  on SCSI 0:1
Hard disk 2  on SCSI 0:2
Hard disk 3  on SCSI 1:1
Hard disk 4  on SCSI 1:2
Hard disk 5  on SCSI 2:1
Hard disk 6  on SCSI 2:2
Hard disk 7  on SCSI 3:1
Hard disk 8  on SCSI 3:2

Hard disk 9  on SCSI 3:3

But this is what I get.

Hard disk 7  on SCSI 0:1
Hard disk 2  on SCSI 0:2
Hard disk 8  on SCSI 1:1
Hard disk 6  on SCSI 1:2
Hard disk 9  on SCSI 2:1
Hard disk 4  on SCSI 2:2
Hard disk 10  on SCSI 3:1
Hard disk 5  on SCSI 3:2

Hard disk 3  on SCSI 3:3
