If you are using the vSphere Web Client over the vSphere Client, you see:

• Performance degradation when you create, delete or perform configuration changes to objects.
• Timeouts when updating objects in the vSphere Web Client.
• Concurrent session errors when configuring a virtual machine.
• High CPU usage for the Inventory Service and vCenter Server Service process.

Environment

VMware vCenter Server 6.0.x
VMware vSphere Web Client 6.0.x

Cause

This issue occurs under the following conditions:

• You are using vCenter Server and vSphere Web Client 6 Update 2
• A medium or large size inventory in the vCenter Server
• Storage I/O Control enabled on some or all datastores

Resolution

This issue is resolved in VMware vCenter Server 6.0 Update 3, available at VMware Downloads.
