Selecting vCenter HA under vCenter Server settings in web client reports: "Error retrieving vCenter HA data"

Products

• VMware vCenter Server

Issue/Introduction

When you select vCenter HA under vCenter Server settings in the Web Client, you see a message similar to:

Error retrieving vCenter HA data.

Resolution

This is an expected behavior on a Windows vCenter Server as vCenter HA is only supported on vCenter Server Appliance.
