Hi there,

I have exact same problem on the linux- based vCenter server appliance 5.5 installed with OVA on the ESXi host 5.5. 

I used:

Name: VMware-vCenter-Server-Appliance-5.5.0.20200-2183109_OVF10.ova

Release Date: 2014-10-09

Build Number: 2183109

All services can start except the vCenter.  It always says :

Starting vmware-vpxd: success

"Waiting for vpxd to initialized: .failed'.

I have checked the time on ESXi host and the vCenter and they matched since both the ESXi host and vCenter sync to same ntp server.

My DataBase is embedded and SSO is also embedded.  "Test Settings" is successful.

in /var/log/messages:

I followed instruction on VMware KB: vpxd process on the vCenter Server Appliance 5.x fails with the error: Signal 11 received

and modified /etc/vmware-vpx/vpx.cfg file as sugggested by adding the ThreadStackSizedKb line.  See below. 

<threadPool>

       <TaskMax>90</TaskMax>
       <ThreadStackSizeKb>512</ThreadStackSizeKb>
       <threadNamePrefix>vpxd</threadNamePrefix>

</threadPool>

However, it doesn't work.  

Anyone knows about this problem please help.
