I tried a few times, and now ,there are also 5 service can't be start:
vmware-eam (VMware ESX Agent Manager)
vmware-invsvc (VMware Inventory Service)
vmware-vdcs (VMware Content Library Service)
vmware-vpostgres (VMware Postgres)
vmware-vpx-workflow (VMware vCenter Workflow Manager)
Their error info was similar to the info eam shows.
Does anyone have any suggests?
Hey,

Hello everyone, I have here the same problem I guess.
I have the same 503 service unavailable screen and once I try to start manually the server, it stops in the following step:
2018-03-20T19:17:56.062Z Running command: ['/sbin/service', u'vmware-vpostgres', 'start']
