VirtualCenter restarts every five minutes posted: Nov 4, 2009 8:31 AM

We have VitualCenter 2.5.0 build 119598 and it the VirtualCenter service is stopping after five minutes. It can be restarted and when running it appears to be fine.

The log ends with the following three lines which are the first errors in the log:

2009-11-04 10:42:02.045 'App' 3112 error Win32 exception: Stack overflow (0xc00000fd)
2009-11-04 10:42:02.045 'App' 3112 error eip: 0x7c343241 esp: 0x4ef3000 ebp: 0x4ef3020
2009-11-04 10:42:02.045 'App' 3112 error eax: 0x000001 ebx: 0x000001 ecx: 0x000001 edx: 0x61f55e0 edi: 00000000 esi: 0x61f55dc


We thought that the problem started when we changed our normal service user password, but this might be a red herring. We have gone through the procedure to update the password entered during installation, and we have carried out an installation repair (without resetting the database).

Any help on this problem would be much appreciated. We will be upgrading to vCenter 4.0 in due course, but this is not convenient just now.

isn't this an issue with lack of disk space on system/db partition?

Do you have auto close enabled on the VC database?
