Hello!
Try to run the next command and show the output: service-control --start --all
That command will try to start all the services and will show you which one is the failed one. After that you will need the check the log of the service that is failing for troubleshooting.
Here you have the KB that shows you how to start, stop or restart the services and the name of each ones: VMware Knowledge Base
Hi Lalegre,

It seems that you are having issues into the Inventory Service.
Could you please check the error output of the invsvc.log that is in the next path /var/log/vmware?
Thanks!
