Hi,
I inherited a two-node server with VMware. ESXi is installed on both node. On the first node there are vms running. vCenter is installed on it too, but doesn't start. The error is:
[FALIED] Failed to start File System Check on /dev/log_vg/log
See 'systemctl...'
I get an emergency console, but with almost nothing. systemctl command doesn't exist there.
What can I do?
Thanks,
Tamas.
Check the below and please share screenshots where the steps didn't work.

Ciao
have you tried this KB?
remember to take a snapshot of the vcenter before proceeding.
Thanks for your answer. I tried it for your advice. After I modified the boot parameters, and the system asks the root password, its behaviour is strange. I have to give the root password twice. After then I get an error message:
[ERROR]: Failed to connect to service.
And still cannot use commands.
Thanks,
Tamas.

Thanks. I don't remember whether the 'type shell' text was there or not, but I needed to type it for the shell. /bin/sh didn't work.
I repaired the filesystem, and then vCenter started.
Thanks,
Tamas.
