Please see if you can use the VAMI to create a Backup of your vCenter Server. I did as you did, installed vCS 8.0.1c, stopped and disabled the vc-ws1a-broker service, upgraded to vCS 8.0.2, and configured the vc-ws1a-broker service to start automatically. When vCS was rebooted, the vc-ws1a-broker service failed to start. When I attempted to back up the vCS configuration via the VAMI, the backup failed, stating it failed because the vc-ws1a-broker service was not available. I opened a case with VMware. THREE TIMES now, I have asked the VMware engineer to provide me a list of features/functions that rely on the vc-ws1a-broker service to function. Three times, the VMware engineer has completey ignored my question and not responded to it whatsoever. GREAT services there, VMware! Bravo! Three times, I've asked to speak with someone knowledgable about the vc-ws1a-broker service. Three times, my request was ignored. VMware basically wants us to provide free beta testing for a poorly tested update that they prematurely put out in the wild.
