vCenter Died

[struijen]

last night out of no where my vCenter server kind of died. i am not sure what has exactly happend but from what i can tell it will not let me sign in using AD, i am able to get into it using the admin user but it will show me nothing. it will not longer show any of my hosts or VM's when i do a recovery of the vcenter it will give me the same error. what i did next was create a new VM to make a new vcenter and right now on trying to create a new vcenter it is throwing Error 32010. Failed to create database users.

has anyone had a similar problem and if so how did you resolve it and what would your reccomend that i try doing to get it back up and opperational again?

Thank you for your help

Hi,

Take a look at http://www.it-book.co.uk/2464/error-32010-installing-vcenter-server-5-1 - may be password complexity.

It could be a vCenter database connection or corruption issue. Did you check your vCenter database connection? The install error can be caused by a few different reasons. I would check the vmMSSQLCmd.log file to see what input caused the install to error out. Here is another article on the error in which their issue was the SQL password: http://www.blackforce.co.uk/2013/01/23/vmware-vcenter-single-sign-on-sql-error-32010

Hi

Check your vCenter and SQL server ( if you have it installed in same machine with vCenter) services on installed machine and see if they up and running.

or if your SQL is on other machine then first ping SQL machine and second go to see if DSN can see SQL machine or not.

ping AD as well to see if ADAM and AD connection works fine.

and funny thing is some times restarting machine make it magic and everything work again.

I had a VM vCenter that not working and i just restarting it and voila it back online again and never goes down till now.
