Problem with VC 4.1 - health service not working - TRIED ALL...

Hello,  I have VC 4.1.0 connected to AD. I got problems with plugins (hardware status, service status and licensing reporting manager), but I solved. When I am trying to access vCenter Service Status I got info that CANNOT ACCESS THE HEALTH SERVICE. I read everything on knowledge base, communities and other sites, but it is still not working. Custom SSL cert is working fine (done with OpenSSL 0.9.8r). I checked logs and I have some strange info:  tomcat/catalina log:  2011-04-13 13:22:01 org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina start INFO: Server startup in 20162 ms 2011-04-13 13:43:04

post here a model of server. Maybe you need upgrade bios.

You just reboot a server ?

Hello,

both links were not helpful. I am attaching actual logs - please look at the attachment.

Maybe it is JAVA problem? I found a lot of things related to JAVA in attached logs. My version is:

C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\jre\bin>java -version
java version "1.6.0_21"
Java(TM) Platform, Standard Edition for Business (build 1.6.0_21-b07)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 17.0-b17, mixed mode)

If you have custom certificates (not self signed), the PFX file must be protected with the password "testpassword".

This KB details how to do it

http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=1017577&sl...

kb also says you could just alter the password in some xml file...

That did not work for me.

DyJohnnY,

thanks, but as I said before my PFX is working OK.

Effects are still the same - cannot connect to the health service. Entries in logs files are the same.

Any other solutions?
