I rebooted several times and each time it was stuck on that message, as it was a fresh install/nothing active, i decided it would be quicker to delete and re-install so i deleted the VM and created a new VMware Appliance Manager which does not exhibit the same issues (yet).

Same problem but in prod system.

How to go next steps??
