On a regular basis, my vCenter Server service fails to start after automatic windows updates are applied. The vCenter server is a 2008R2 Datacenter VM.
The only other apps running are PerfectDisk and ESET NOD32 agents - vCenter is at 4.1. I've tried setting the vCenter Server and WedAdmin service to Delayed Start, but that doesn't seem to make much difference. The following errors are displayed in the event log, which lead me to believe the issue is related to SQL:
SQL Server is not ready to accept new client connections. Wait a few minutes before trying again. If you have access to the error log, look for the informational message that indicates that SQL Server is ready before trying to connect again.
The description for Event ID 1000 from source VMware VirtualCenter Server cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.
If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.
The following information was included with the event:
Failed to intialize VMware VirtualCenter. Shutting down...
the message resource is present but the message is not found in the string/message table
Has anyone run into this before?
