Connect-VIserver behaving weird when using 8 or more concurrent PowerCLI shells (VMware vSphere 5.5) #9

Hi everyone, first of all I would like to thank you guys for bringing VMware PowerCLI to docker. This helps improve my open source VMware workflow a lot.

When deploying PowerCLI core (the latest version based on Ubuntu), I came across the following issue. For some unapparent reason when executing Connect-VIserver shells keeps on hanging and spawning the following errors:

Error 1:

Connect-VIServer : 05/08/2017 18:35:19  Connect-VIServer    Error in deserializing
 body of reply message for operation 'RetrieveServiceContent'.

   tion,VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Cmdlets.Commands.ConnectVIServer

Error 2:

I double checked and the credentials used to authenticate are correct. I also succeed in running 6 shells concurrently, but somehow 8 shells is too much. Nevertheless I need it to be 10 shells, due to the nature of the application I'm creating.

I also came across the issue were output is not entirely received. This seems to happen when large output is received.

Thanks in advance 👍

If this issue is still occuring after PowerCLI 10 and PowerShell 6.01 (built into the latest PowerCLICore docker image), please open a support case with VMware GSS for the PowerCLI development team!
