ESXi storage UI timeout

[updatemongrel]

Hello,

I mounted an ESXi server to my prox 9 cluster to import VMs from but when I click on the ESXi storage it loads for a bit and then I see "communication failure (0)".

Monitoring `top` from the node CLI I see listvms.py runs and I verified I have a manifest.json but it does take a while since this ESXi datastore has around ~500 VMs on it. There's one VM that has a weird name but thats it.

I believe the UI is timing out before the listvms.py process completes. Is there a way to extend that timeout or prevent the listvms.py from running every single time I click on the ESXi storage?

I've tried adding ESXi as storage on Proxmox. However, my ESXi locked out the user due to an incorrect password, and I had to try resetting the password. Essentially, when ESXi is used as storage on Proxmox, Proxmox will continuously try to log in to ESXi.

Login is working fine in this case. The ESXi storage is fuse mounted to /run/pve/import/esxi/ and I can list contents of the directory without any issues.
