vCenter HA fails due to postgres not starting on passive node

[lucarobusto_arp]

Hi all.

Mi vCenter HA (that worked fine until 3 days ago) is not working anymore and I get the error:

If I SSH to passive node, I get the following:

cat /var/log/vmware/vcha/vcha.log

service-control --status

it seems there is an SSL issue.

I was using custom SSL certificates, but during troubleshooting, I could reset all the certificate from the certificate-manager (option 4), and setup again vCenter HA with self signed and VMCA certificates, but the same issue occurs.

Anyone has any ideas, of faced the same issue in the past?

I can attach more logs, if needed.

Thanks anyway for the support.

I have the same issue - did you manage to resolve?  If so, how?

After destroying vCenter HA, did you restart vCenter ?

After re-generating the certificates, did you restart vCenter ?

Instead of troubleshooting it I'd just disable ha and reenable it again so new vms are created(or you clone them, generally what I've done when I've seen this, only had to do it once in the last year or 2 if I remember right.

Nvmd misread the post 😞  I'd open a ticket if you don't get a response, there are certs that may be stuck in the ldap database or other wierd stuff

I encountered the same situation. After removing HA, restarting vcenter and then re-establishing HA returned to normal.
