VSphere 5.1 Web Client: cannot edit vSwitch settings on one host

vmware-vsphere

One host in my two-host cluster shows "Edit Settings (Unavailable)" when hovering over the grayed-out pencil icons.

Second host is fine.

No idea, Google wisdom eludes me.

EDIT:

  • logged in as root (local authentication)
  • client, Windows 7 64-bit, latest Flash, IE10, Chrome and Firefox latest versions.
  • Have not modified any permissions; created two hosts, setup basic networking for Management Network.
  • No issues modifying vSwitch via Windows client either directly to the host or vCenter.

Best Answer

Can you try making the change using the Windows client or even going to the host directly? Also check the "Work in Progress" list on the right pane of the GUI just to make sure there isn't another editing session.
