  This service is supposed to be there, anyway you can try to repair the installation. This article talks about re - install VMware vSphere profile Driven Storage service: upgrading to vCenter Server 5.0 Update 1, 5.1, or 5.5 fails and the Setup Wizard is interrupted (2017147)

• vCenter Storage Monitoring Service Service initialization failed after the upgrade from 5.1 to 5.5

  I recently upgraded from vCenter 5.1 to 5.5. After the upgrade, I started getting health warnings for the VMware vCenter monitoring of Storage Service that say "failed to initialize the Service." I restarted the vCenter server and restart services several times and who has not deleted the question. When I look in the SMS. LOG file there is no activity in it since I did the upgrade (a week or more there). All prior activity in the SMS. JOURNAL seems to be well upward until the upgrade took place though. I found at least half a dozen KB articles that describe the various reasons why this error may occur, but they all relate to older versions of vCenter. Just to be complete, although I saw the symptoms in the articles and none of them really seem to be the same as what I see. My hypothesis is that perhaps the SMS did not get properly re-installed upgrading because I don't see any SMS subdirectory in the directory \Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\tomcat\webapps but I do not know if this directory must exist on a 5.5 installation.

  If you would be grateful if anyone has any advice for troubleshooting for this type of error.

  Thank you

  Change the credentials of the service account for VMware vSphere Profile-Driven Storage Service to those used to start the VMware vCenter Server service and the service of VMware VirtualCenter Management Webservices. By default, the account used Local System.

  Restart the service, the change was made, and then check.

The article stresses that increase the RAM would help, however the virtual machine has been set to 10 GB, with abundance available for the JAVA virtual machine, but I always saw the issues mentioned in the wrapper.log file.

• VCenter 6 Services fail to start on startup

  Physical server 2012R2 6 VCenter server stopped for hardware maintenance and booted up fine afterwards.

  During the shutdown, this event was logged in the application log:

  The description for event ID 1000 from source VMware VirtualCenter Server can not be found. Either the component that triggers this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.

  If the event is on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.

  The following information has been included in the event:

  Launch of VMware VirtualCenter shutdown

  the message resource is present, but the message is not in the string/message table

  After starting most of the Vcenter services had not begun, nor could they be started manually.  I it goes back to the first failure recorded in the system log:

  The VMware HTTP Reverse Proxy service stopped with the following special service error:

  Incorrect function.

  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!

  Required ports for vCenter Server 6.0

  How to change the TCP port for Internet Information services

  Ports: Veeam ONE Deployment Guide

  Article KB of Veeam do not notify IIS components.

  I do not think that this question concerns the problems we had on Server 2008R2, but given that this facility is gone, I can't confirm.

  Solved

• VMware vCenter service stops with size of DB SQL errors

  Hello

  We run VMware vCenter 4.1 with 3 ESX hosts and VMs. 50 vCenter runs on Windows 2008 R2, SQL 2005 Express SP2.

  Yesterday, our virtual backup failed, saying: it could not connect to the vCenter agent. When I have looged question, it appeared that he had stopped the vCenter Server service. Upward on the continuation of the investigation, it appears that the SQL Express database had reached 4 GB in size, which is limited, and this caused the vCenter fall service.

  I checked some of the forum posts and have accomplished the following:

  • Define a retention policy of database for tasks and events, it is initially unchecked, but I checked and set it to 90 days in the beginning and now 30 days.
    
  • Found a script on the VMware forum called VCDB_table_cleanup_MSSQL_V4.X.sql that can clean the database. I put it to delete the old data (change of SET @DELETE_DATA = 1) 90 days and he kidnapped 130 000 + lines.
    
  • Performed a narrowing of the database & file shrink on the data file - I was only 9 MB back?
    
  • Performed a narrowing of the database & file shrink on the log file - it right back a little more, about 100 MB.
    
  • Changed the size of the log file of 460 MB to 1024 MB, in database properties > settings files.
    

  However, even after all of the above, when I reboot the server, or stop and start the service vCenter, the following errors are recorded in the application log:
  -------------------------------------------

  Can anyone provide another solution to this problem? We must be able to perform a successful backup!

  For any help or suggestions appreciated!

  Ben

  Due to the size of the database, the query may take time. I suggest that you let run and just be patient.

  Another option is to upgrade to a version of SQL Server 2005/2008 'complete' (see http://kb.vmware.com/kb/7960893), or - where this is an option for you - to migrate towards the currently experimentally supported (starting with vCenter Server 4.1 Update 1) version SQL Express 2008 which supports up to 10 GB per database. (see http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r40/vsp_compatibility_matrix.pdf) Although there are 32 and 64 bit in compatibility matrix, it seems that there are currently problems with 64-bit (see http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1036085)

• VMware vCenter Server service stops or restarts at the start of data collection

  VMware vCenter Server service stops or restarts at the start of data collection

  I am using vCenter Server 5.0

  Whenever I have begin to collect data, vcenter service stops or restarts, if I stop data collection and to disable the agent, vcenter service again and works well.

  Please any help!

  Thanks in advance

  It is a known issue, relating to the collection of historical data being enabled (nonzero) in the properties of the VMWare Agent on the Agent status screen.

  Change to 0 to disable/re-enable the agent and it should fix the problem.

  Please open a ticket of level 1 with telephone support if you need more help.

• On the vMware vcenter inventory services

  Please someone explain to me clearly the basic function of the vMware vcenter inventory services.

  See you in you inventory vcenter. A lot of guests. And every time you log into the Web client (Inventory service works only with the web client) and try to see an entity it what will do the vcenter? It will enter into its database and rethink the entry for you?

  vCenter inventory service acts as a cache. It stores all recent or entities of the stock near the most used web client. When you access a parameter in vcenter now. vcenter service won't go to its database for the entity. It will be given by the inventory service. This way the load VPXD is reduced to a minimum.

• Service server vmware vcenter orchestrator on local computer started and then stopped

  Hello

  I'm unable to start the Server service of vco on Windows 2008 R2 machine. If I try to restart the service it displays the following error;

  "Service server vmware vcenter orchestrator on local computer started and then stopped. "Some services stop automatically when not in use by other services or programs.

  First check the configuration of the vCO application and that all green lights. If this isn't the case difficulty what the problem is.

  If everything is green, see the server.log file and look for FATAL / ERROR.
