vCenter Statistics Service: Storage Management Service failed

In the vSphere Client (4.0.0) under vCenter Service status, I see a service were always failed initializationis: Storage Management Service.

When I open the "data-> storage views store" I get an error message that this service is not running.

Where can I find this service and enable it?

Using Windows authentication integrated to your vCenter services?

I had same problem and found out that it was caused by the lack of rights for the user, I have added the user to 'Act as part of the operating system' and it worked... also fixed a graphic issue of performance

    I can't start this service manually, it fails with the same error.  All other services fail with an error of dependence.

    This is very frustrating, because we have upgraded this server from Server 2008R2 for the same reason, the service would not start.  When there are Server 2008R2 his running 5.1, we tried the upgrade to 6 but it failed and we couldn't solve it, so we completely removed Vcenter and tried a new install, it didn't until I managed to 'wrong' Setup by changing the Manager of VMware vCenter workflow service to run as local system if not always failed.  We have therefore installed and running, then after the first reboot comes to fail start services!  So we fresh installed Windows 2012R2, installed VCenter without any AV or other "crust" to make sure it would work, which was the case.  Now this 'thing' just continues to fail like that once!

    DNS is fine functiong and the server has survived a number of reboots yesterday, no idea why it does not now!

    Thanks to the Ram from VMware support we figured out that WWW Publishing service has been installed, the value manual start, but has been started.  The VMware Reverse HTTP Proxy service is listening on port 80, so that caused a conflict.

    This was due to an installation of Veeam One, which has been deleted, but left the installed IIS components.  Gahh!

  • vCenter Server service does not start after you run Windows updates

    On a regular basis, my vCenter Server service fails to start after the automatic updates of windows are applied.  The vCenter server is a datacenter 2008R2 VM.

    The only other running applications are PerfectDisk and agents of ESET NOD32 - vCenter is in 4.1.  I tried to adjust the vCenter Server and WedAdmin service of delayed start, but that doesn't seem to make a big difference.

  • vCenter Server Service does not start after P2V

    Hello community.

    A problem that I have not been able to solve and looking for help.

    Problem:

    vCenter Server Service does not start after that Windows Server was P2V would be.  We get an ERROR 2 of the Service.  Get the error of the system Windows 7024 event log.

    History:

    The client, I currently work with that tries to smash to the high location of the DEV VCENTER.  Location of DEV vcenter works now all for this site (domains, dns and all development servers).  If its VCENTER PRODUCTION of this location.  Currently, SQL Server (dedicated to vCenter), VCENTER and SSO are all sitting on the same box.  Let's break the SSO, SQL and VCENTER in their own servers.  However, the client wants to re - use the current physical server for SQL Server.  So I need P2V physical server existing until I can start the new environment.

    I was able to get all of the services working on the virtual vCenter (SQL, SSO, Update Manager etc etc) but have been unable to get the real vCenter Server Service works.  Fails every time with the 2 ERROR Code.  I was unable to get a KB of VMWARE item that corresponds to the issue I'm having.  ERROR 2 code has many articles and none have worked.

And the only thing that won't start is always VCENTER SERVER... SSO is started, SQL is launched...

    Also everything remained the same on the virtual machine (DNS, IP, NAME etc etc). Stop the physical and start-up it upward don't show any problems.  Only when its summer P2V would have done that themselves.

    I can't get this number.  Need help.

    Thoughts?

  • View 5.0 unable to communicate 5.0 U1a vCenter - "the service does not work properly.

    This view instance has 4 brokers of the connection running on Windows Server 2008 R2:

    The environment has been upgraded 2 years of view 4.6 see 5.0.  When view 4.6 was used there were 2 additional 32-bit Windows connection brokers in the mix as well, but they were all disabled both in the from view 5.0 5.0 update requires Windows 64-bit. They have been disabled but NOT completely removed from the view.  As part of my troubleshooting this problem, I decided to delete these two brokers disabled connection of the system since it seemed as if they were causing errors in synchronization between brokers.

    Here are my steps, I took this day and in this order as far as I remember the:

    1.) restart vCenterServer services, including the management of VMware webservices

    2.) full restart the server vCenter

    3) Started digging through logs of connection broker to see if something stood in there - found that there was a warning message not being able to connect to https://< vcenterserver >: 443/sdk.  Found a number of articles and posts on the service account no longer works.  Verify that the service account was not locked and that he worked in logging on to the server vCenter via RDP successfully.

    4.) published at the entrance of the vCenter Server View Manager and re-entered the account password and ensure he was still able to connect successfully and that it can.

    5.) other searches on the site of VMware KB and communities find an article indicating that the time on connection brokers can be out of sync.  Double and connected on each of the brokers control the weather was everything in harmony and it is.

    6.) checked to make sure that all LDAP databases are synchronization correctly - this is where I decided to remove former brokers not used environmental and force a replication successful each of the neighbors brokers by using the repadmin utility.

    7.) after forcing replication, I went in a restarted the Mangment vCenter web services again.  -At this point, the connection between the broker and vCenter server came back, but the pool that has a removal pending task has not continued and seemed stuck.

    8.) about 5 to 10 minutes the communication error with the vCenter exploded back up again.

    Also of note, this environment is connected to a different vCenter and working well with no error or stuck tasks.

    Someone at - he of the additional things I should try?

    Thank you

    Jason D.

    Has worked with VMware Support on this and it appeared that the brokers were not quite in sync, even after forced synchronization, I ran previously.  Finish restarting brokers (a both of course) to make things synchronized back to the top.

  • vCenter Server Service stuck on departure

    Hi all

    I ran a problem yesterday. One of my 5.1 ESXi hosts hung up. I had to start hard. Thus all virtual machines on this subject was turned off which included my 5.1 vCenter server. After I brought everything back online, I can't start the vCenter Server service. It is stuck on the start.

    Here is my configuration:

    For vCenter and SSO database: MS SQL (separate VM).

    SSO Server: separate the VM.

    vCenter Server: separate the VM.

    It has worked fine for over a year and this is the first time, vCenter server service does not start.

    I thought it might be linked to the database. So I restarted all servers: DB, SSO and vCenter in the same sequence, but without success.

    When I go to the ODBC connection on vCenter server and try to reconfigure to connect to the DB, it gives the error:

    The connection has failed.

    SQL State: '08001'

    A SQL Server error: 53

    Could not open connection to SQL server (53)

    The connection has failed.

    I've attached a screenshot of the error.

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thank you

    I solved this problem. For some reason any. the NETWORK card on the vCenter server was disconnected after the crash. vCenter could not ping the database. Checked the NETWORK card and everything is OK.

  • Replacement of the SSL Cert - 5/vCenter vCenter Inventory Service

    Running on this issue during our next generation vCenter infrastructure 5 out.  I was wondering if someone else ran into the front.

    We create certificates signed internally and use these certificates to the virtual service centre and the inventory service.  I stop the vCenter service, replace the vCenter CERT, reset the DB password and then start the vCenter service.  Works very well and am able to connect to vCenter, but when I go to start the inventory (CERT for untouchables inventory service) service fails.  I worked with this in our lab, and he the certs could be replaced separated from another.  All ideas are welcome.

    Thank you

    When generate you your own pfx, what was the password?

    It must be "testpassword".

      openssl pkcs12 -export -in ./certs/rui.crt -inkey ./private/rui.key -name rui -passout pass:testpassword -out ./certs/rui.pfx
    

    If this is not the case, the inventory service does not start.

  • Problem Pairing device: Bluetooth virtual keyboard (VKB) detection of service failed

    Hi, I could use help to determine the cause and the solution to a problem I have. I want to associate this with my Toshiba Tecra M4-S435 keyboard. The laptop has an internal module installed, "Cambridge Silicon Radio, LMP (V: S) 02:0490." I installed the last 5.10.01 (T) BT stack. I have several other paired devices, but this one is the original questions.

    The unit is in the discovery as a keyboard VKB (it supports HID and SPP); I want to use the HID profile. In the authentication dialog, the VKB beeps, who is his warning that a PIN can be typed into the unit, but to hit the enter key, a dialog box informs me that "Detection of Service Failed". I've seen similar problems posted on the manufacturer's website, but I have not seen any resolution.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    I m not an expert from BT, but if you have several other devices with your laptop coupled, then everything is ok with your Tecra M4 BT stack and the machine.
    It seems that there is a compatibility problem with your external virtual Bluetooth keyboard.

    Either the Toshiba BT stack does not support this VBK and service or the firmware of this device allows a few worries
    However, in case I would recommend contacting manufacturing virtual Bluetooth keyboard for more details.
    Guys should more known on own products as simple Toshiba here users in the forum.

    If I run the F11 key, I automatically lose everything on my c drive (ie the restore to factory settings) or that it will be possible to restore for some time before this error occurred? If so, could you give simple instructions on how to make or give a cross reference to where I can find this information. My apologies so simple, but I'm really bad with computers

    Thank you very much
