When trying to reach the MOB service you get the below error message:
503 Service Unavailable (Failed to connect to endpoint: [N7Vmacore4Http20NamedPipeServiceSpecE:0x04e027b8] _serverNamespace = /mob action = Allow _pipeName =/var/run/vmware/proxy-mob)
By default the MOB service is disabled. You can enable this service in the vCenter inventory by selecting the ESXi host, go to “System” —> “Advanced System Settings”

In here look for the “Config.HostAgent.plugins.solo.enableMob” property, it’s default setting is “false” (disabled). Change the setting to enabled to activate the service.
