• the inventory of VMware service does not start, the wrong function, bad sql server port

  I've migrated vcenter SQL database to a new server after this KB

  https://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 7960893

  but now most of the vcenter services does not start cause of according to the inventory service.  I see service log of inventory which is the problem, it tries to connect to SQL Server by default, 1433 port, but my SQL server instance is listening on a different fixed port, I don't want to change.  Where can I configure the inventory service we another port of SQL Server?  According to a KB related to the above, it is possible to do

  https://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/search.do?cmd=displayKC & docType = kc & docTypeID = DT_KB_1_1 & externalId = 2033516

  but unfortunately I have vcenter 6 and the instructions above do not seem to apply, I can't even find ssocli, the mentioned folder structure does not exist on my installation

  
  Thank you.

  I solved this.  Despite what has been reported in the newspaper the issue was not the port.  The new database is a named instance, the connection string for vcdb.properties, he entered as the server name = hostname\instancename in fact, it is necessary to use two slashes return hostname\\instancename :-/

• vCenter service stops

  Hello

  I'm under vCenter 5.0 U1 and my database is on a SQL Server 2008 Cluster, use Windows authentication.

  Whenever my SQL team switches the server, the vCenter service stops. This causes quite the headache from my backup software requires is configured to retrieve virtual machines via vCenter.

  Someone at - he never see cela or know a solution?

  THX

  Mike

  First of all, I would like to point out the race vCenter on Cluster SQL is not fully supported and VMware Support on best efforts basis.

  I've seen most of the time a manual intervention is required to start the return services after cluster failover

  Check the options for high availability of the server vCenter supported

• vCenter service stopped after failing on DB

  I run vcenter 6.0 on an active/passive cluster of SQL

  When I switched my db from one to the other, vcenter service was stopped. I had to start it manually

  no idea why?

  Yes, that's what says KB, see:

  Set the parameter recoverForAllError to true:

  
  
  true
  
  ...
  

  Note: Add the entry above, if it is not present in vpxd.cfg file.

• vCenter Service was able to start with the error failed to create the front of SINGLE sign-on: vmodl.fault.SystemError

  Hello

  Can someone guide me how to solve this error? vCenter service is not getting started, I looked in the newspapers vpxd and found the following error.

  vCenter Service was able to start with the error failed to create the front of SINGLE sign-on: vmodl.fault.SystemError

  Hi John,.

  This is due to host on the vCenter server entries. Please try the procedure below

  Connect to the vCenter server, edit the/drivers/etc/hosts file in Notepad

  C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts

  # 127.0.0.1 localhost

  Note: If a line does not exist in the hosts file, add it at the end of the text.

  #) to remove the comment from the line of IPv4.

  1. 127.0.0.1 localhost
     ·  Save and close the file.
  • localhost127.0.0.1.
    • GoTo services.msc and start VMware Virtual Center Services.

• VCenter Service does not start after changing the port number

  Hi all

  Accidentally, I changed the port number for the Vcenter server from the portal of VCenter 10443 and dint realize that the Java application uses 10443 so.

  Could not start the server vcenter service, because its raise an error saying 10443 port is already im currently byt used another application.

  I tried to stop the Java service, in order to start the vcenter service and make changes to port again, numbers but I am unable to stop the java application.

  Please, if anyone knows how to change the number of Vcenter via config port or any other way, please throw a comment... Its much appreciated.

  Thank you

  If you use the MSSQL database, locate WebService.Ports.http in the VPX_PARAMETER table and change to the correct port.

• vCenter Service overall health from "yellow" to "red".

  Hello

  Lately, we sometimes receive from operating e-mail alerts manager as the above title has changed from yellow to red, or red to yellow.

  It's strange because nothing seems to be wrong.

  When you look at the details of the alert there is only a mention that we need to check the vCenter management webservice, but this one is running.

  Any idea?

  It's health, reported by VC itself.
  You can check in VI-client: Home-> vCenter Service status

  also, you will see why it is not 'green', and what needs to be fixed.

  The fault will disappear once the health is in the 'green '.

  See attached snapshot of VI-client

• ReSTOR vCenter Veeam Backup 5

  Veeam backup 6.0 allows us to save all our virtual machines.

  We use VMware ESXi 5.0

  Our vCenter 5.0, I installed on a virtual machine.

  The vCenter server is backed up every night of Veeam Backup.

  My question is:

  If our vCenter server crash, is it then possible to restore I have the backup that was night done previus?

  We whant to do a restore complete the vcenter our Backup Server.

  I don't know how our ESXi servers will react when see her sudden an older vCenter, we restored backup.

  Hello

  We use Veeam B & R v6 for the last 3 years.

  Lets say you have a failure of your vCenter server and there is no quick way, you can solve the problem.

  1. turn off the vCenter server crashed.

  2. go to the B & R Veeam

  3. click on restore, then select a restore point for that perticular Server

  4. replace one of the ESX hosts.

  Now in the case where this happens Veeam can see vCenter and if he can't have not all hosts to restore. Then you just 'Add Host' and add the ESXi box, that you want to restore.

  Now you can move on to step 3.

  Wait for restore to finish, and you're done.

  Some settings that you can select are "lit VM after restoration" "connect Newtorking.

• vCSA vcenter service cannot start

  I use the trial version of the device of the VirtualCenter server in our lab are fine POC development.

  I can get the deployed ovf and the vcenter server has started.

  If I configure the vCSA without changing the hostname, the vcenter service starts and I can access the app from vcenter through VIC, connect my host, etc..

  The problem is when I go to change the host name of the application of vcenter just going down the Hill. The embedded DB cannot update tables, vcenter service will not completely start and the vcenter is inaccessible.

  I tried removing the drive and redeploying a few times now and not can't find a work around for this.

  Any help would be welcome.

  Notes: I used the following forum to help you, what helps me it to certain things.

  http://t.co/QwBqlVaP

  I suggest that configure you the host name and the network before configuring the database.

  For example, see http://jreypo.wordpress.com/2011/11/29/vcenter-server-appliance-part-1-configuration-and-deployment/ for a description.

• Cannot start abruptly vCenter Service

  Hello

  We have vmWare vSphere Essentials running for a month and all of a sudden it has stopped working on 9/11.  When we try to start the service, a Windows message saying it cannot start the service.

  We bought a new server that meets the requirements of vCenter.  We have vCenter 4.1 running on Windows Server 2008 Standard R2.

  We made the most recent change has been that we have installed the SMTP server feature which required the IIS role must be installed.

  I found the files of huge logs under the "All Users" folder, but I don't know what I'm looking for.

  My first question is where can I find more information about the error and the second what could be the cause of this strange behavior change in vCenter?

  Thanks for any help you can provide,

  Michael

  We made the most recent change has been that we have installed the SMTP server feature which required the IIS role must be installed.

  It is more than likely your problem that IIS will conflict with vCenter. You must stop IIS and your vCenter service can be started successfully
