freshly deployed vcenter appliance - unable to connect to vcenter inventory service

Hi ,

I'm wonderiing if someone could help?

I've just deployed a new vcenter applicance (for testing) and told it to use our existing SSO enviroment which has 2 other vcenter applicances in production.

The new vca is version 6.0.0-5202527 - I can login to it using SSO enabled accounts so the authentication must be working ok...

However on login it says unable to connect to vcenter inventory service...

The logs on the vsphere-client show lots of instances of this java error, but it's doesnt really explain why its failing to connect??

It also goes on to say (The URLs of the services that didn't respond are: [http://localhost:10080/invsvc])

Any help would be appreciated  - all the KB articles for this error are for 5 or 5.5 ..I cant find much for 6.0
