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.
