Here is VMware KB: VMware KB: VMware vCenter Server Appliance 5.0 vpxd crashes few seconds after starting

To resolve this issue due to core dumps filling the partition:

Connect to vCenter Server Appliance console as the root user. The default password is vmware.

Change directory to /storage/core and run the ls command to check for core files

Note: If there are core dumps, delete these dumps and try to start the service again. The problem should now be solved.
