vCenter is down

I am unable to access my vCenter. I am able to telnet {telnet vcenter_fqdn 9443} and also there is sufficient space available on the partitions.  vCenter service shows down and when tried to start getting below error

#service-control --start --all

Perform start operation. vmon_profile=ALL, svc_names=None, include_coreossvcs=True, include_leafossvcs=True

For production down issues, you should be speaking GSS.
