Yes, I believe so.  I got it to run by placing it on a network that had internet connectivity.  Then I changed the IP address/gw back to the private network and it will not run again.

Mgmt works fine on port 5480 on private, however

Error from webui (443) is:

503 Service Unavailable (Failed to connect to endpoint: [N7Vmacore4Http20NamedPipeServiceSpecE:0x0000561bc8debad0] _serverNamespace = / action = Allow _pipeName =/var/run/vmware/vpxd-webserver-pipe)

From the cli (Shell) I issued

service-control —stop —all

service-control —start —all

And the start fails with:

Service-control failed. Error Failed to start vmon services.vmon-cli RC=2, stderr=Faile dto start sca, , cm services. Error crashed while starting
