Awright folks, I've been trying to get this to work for days now and it's time to ask the experts.
Quick brief about my lab: Physical machine running 5.5, then nested multiple 5.5 systems running inside the physical box. I have two vCenter's (one prod, the other DR). I have SRM installed on a separate VM (I know I can have it on the same machine as vCenter). The SQL database for vCenter sits on the same machine, the database for SRM sits on a machine that runs SQL 2012 R2 (on Windows 2012 R2). There appear to be no problems connecting to the database. Windows firewall is off on all machines. Everything else works a treat, it's just the SRM service that keeps terminating every 2 or so seconds.
What have I done already?
- Reinstalled SRM, same thing still happens
- Generated a new certificate, same thing. Note I am using the automatically generated cert, not the .p12 one
- Checked connectivity between the various components
- I am using the DNS name of vCenter, not it's IP address. At first I tried with the IP address (thinking maybe the automatically generated cert used vCenter's IP), I had the same issue - then tried the DNS name of vCenter, and still the same issue
- The SRM service runs as a service account, with the account being a local admin on the machine and having the appropriate permissions on the database. (followed the installation doco to the word). SQL 2012 is supported.
I have attached the latest log to this question too. Can someone please advise on where I am going wrong? There seem to be some connectivity issue from what I can see in the log, it's timing out waiting for something to respond.
Help is very much appreciated. Thank you.
