Profile and Inventory services not starting automatically on reboot.

[NYSteve]

Hi,

     Has anyone had the experience where the "Profile..." and Inventory services have not started automatically when their vCenter had been rebooted?  That's happening to me right now, and the Virtual Center Service takes a good long time to start.

     Thanks for any advice!

Hi Steve,

You see any related errors in the event logs on startup? if you could upload a recent vcenter log if possible would be great too.

Hi,

     I ended up calling support, and they suggested the following:

     Also, we had to change both the "Inventory" and "Profile Driven..." services from Automatic start to Automatic (Delayed) start.  Otherwise, the service dependencies were ignored.  This solved the problem.

     Just FYI,
