VMware vCenter Server

Symptoms:

Cannot access Network tab on vCenter Server Appliance web studio interface.
Accessing Network tab on vCenter Server Appliance web studio interface fails.
You see the error:

com.google.gwt.core.client.JavaScriptException: (Error): Out of stack space
When accessing the Address tab within the networking tab, you see the error:

Failed to read network interface (eth1) information.

VMware vCenter Server Appliance 5.0.x
VMware vCenter Server Appliance 5.5.x
VMware vCenter Server Appliance 5.1.x

This issue occurs when a second NIC is added to the vCenter Appliance, which is not configured.

To resolve this issue ,create a configuration file for the NIC associated:

Connect to the vCenter Server Appliance via SSH (default username is root and password is vmware).
Copy the /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth0 to /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth1 file by running this command:

cp /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth0 /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth1
Open the ifcfg-eth1 file using a text editor.

Delete the vi /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth1 command as it is specific to the vi editor. The user can choose to use any editor for this purpose.
Edit the file adding values for your network.

For example:

DEVICE=eth1
BOOTPROTO='static'
STARTMODE='auto'
TYPE=Ethernet
USERCONTROL='no'
IPADDR='192.168.1.117'
NETMASK='255.255.255.0'
BROADCAST='192.168.1.255'
Create a symlink for this file in /etc/sysconfig/network by running this command:

ln -s /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth1 /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth1
Restart the networking service to activate the new setup, by running this command:

service network restart
Check the web management interface to verify that the new settings are active.
