Hi,
I waited a while to answer because I checked everything again.
The log file has password and certificate errors. This can happen during updates.
The first may be the consequence of the second error.
We begin to reset the password with this procedure:
before proceeding with the password reset, go to this verification:
VMware Knowledge Base
Update the /etc/hosts file with the IPV4 loopback address 127.0.0.1 and localhost entries similar to the below.
$ cat etc/hosts
# Begin /etc/hosts (network card version)
127.0.0.1 vc01.test.local vc01 localhost# End /etc/hosts (network card version)
# VAMI_EDIT_BEGIN
# Generated by Studio VAMI service. Do not modify manually.
192.168.2.11 vc01.test.local vc01
# VAMI_EDIT_END

Reset password
VMware Knowledge Base
To update the password used by the vCenter Server's Machine Account after a restore, use the vcenter-restore CLI to issue a reset request. For more information, see the Restore the Failed vCenter Server Virtual Machine With the Direct-to-Host Emergency Restore Operation section in the vSphere Installation and Setup Guide.
For vCenter Server Appliance
Login to vCenter Server via SSH as the root user
- Run this command to switch to BASH
shell - Run this command to Stop all of the vCenter Server services:
service-control --stop --all - Run this command:
vcenter-restore -u administrator -p <administrator@vsphere.local password>
For example:
vcenter-restore -u administrator -p VMware1!
Note: This CLI can be executed without either option, and the user will be prompted to provide the administrator and administrator@vsphere.local password. - Run this command to confirm that all services are now started:
service-control --status --all

OR this procedure:
---------------------------
To manually invoke an update of vCenter Server's Machine Account password, use the dir-cli computer password-reset CLI to issue a reset request.For vCenter Server Appliance
- Login to the vCenter Server via SSH as the root user
- Run this command to switch to BASH
shell - Run this command:
/usr/lib/vmware-vmafd/bin/dir-cli computer password-reset --login administrator --live-dc-hostname <Platform Services Controller FQDN> --password <administrator@vsphere.local password>
For example:
/usr/lib/vmware-vmafd/bin/dir-cli computer password-reset --login administrator --live-dc-hostname mgmt01psc01.sfo01.rainpole.local --password 'VMware1!'
A successful password reset will output:
Password for machine account reset.
Note: If you are using a PSC HA configuration using a Load Balancer, execute this command against one of the backing PSC members and wait 30 seconds for the VMware Directory Service replication cycle to push this update to all nodes. - Run these commands to Start the vCenter Server services:
service-control --stop --all
service-control --start --all

The DB has no duplication. Disk space is not 100%....we have excluded these possibilities.
