vCenter crashes every time after restart and reinstallation

[ebrodje]

Hi

Im currently having a massive problem with vCenter it crashes after each time i have installed it and the first time i restart the VM where the vCenter is i get an error message:

503 Service Unavailable (Failed to connect to endpoint: [class Vmacore::Http::LocalServiceSpec:0x000000c91544a6b0] _serverNamespace = /vsphere-client action = Allow _port = 9090) This has happend on two diffrent VMs and 4 times in a row now. I found a KB which loosely translates that i should try to restart the services and further more restart the WebClient Service but this does not exists as a separate service in my installation. Someone have any ideas regarding this ?

I found this error in the vsphere_client_virgo

There are a few others experiencing this too, myself included. See this thread 503 Service Unavailable (Failed to connect to endpoint:

With regards to the WebClient Service, it is now a child service under the "VMware Service Lifecycle Manager" service. You can control the child services using the service-control command.
