Trouble shooting VMware Virtual Center failing to start

Trouble shooting VMware Virtual Center failing to start

We restarted the Virtual Center server during a routine maintenance window.

As a rough / quick test we then tried to connect via the client. To our shock, it didn’t connect

Client connection fails

How to Trouble shoot …..Where should you look next ?

Services?

Manual Service

Check for a stopped service on the vCenter server.

Start vcenter service

start vc service

In this scenario, check SQL , in the log you can see there is a SQL DB connection issue

VC no SQL connection
