ESX Agent Manager won't start

[PeterRaschLager]

Hello.

I've seen this problem posted by other members and could use some help.

The eam.properties file in /etc/vmware-eam/ has this content:

eam.web.root=/usr/lib/vmware-eam/web

eam.web.root=/usr/lib/vmware-eam/web

That looks a far cry from anything normal or what?

Please help.

Best Regards

Peter Rasch Lageri

I did this VMware Knowledge Base

and the service can be started using

service vmware-eam start

and I get a

running: PID:30895

but in the Web Client under vCenter Server Extensions it's status is listed as Unknown

service-control --status

lists vmware-eam under the section of Stopped.

I'm getting this in the ema.log file

[msripada]

The eam.properties should have the value Vc sdk tunnel URL and it should not have any https but the FQDN of the vCenter. Can you check that in the /etc/vmware-eam/eam.properties file.

Thanks,

MS

I found it. I found it.

I deleted the comments at the end of the lines. (The three   #<==== ) and made sure the file ended after =100 in the last line.

Looks like the #<==== got read as part of the line and not a comment.
