vSphere upgrade and Webservices service

[neyz]

Hello everyone !

After upgrade to vsphere, it appears the webservices are not working

anymore. The service "VMWARE virtualcenter managment webservices" does

not start and ends with the error :

+"Le service VMware VirtualCenter Management Webservices s'est arrêté

avec l'erreur service particulière 0 (0x0)."+

I have tried to disable all the vmware related services and restart it

first and this is the error i get :

+"Le service VMware VirtualCenter Management Webservices dépend du

service VMware VirtualCenter Server qui n'a pas pu démarrer en raison

de l'erreur : Après démarrage, le service s'est arrêté dans un état

d'attente. "+

I have also tried to manually run*"C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\tomcat\bin\Tomcat6.exe"

//RS//vctomcat*

with no success.

I am trying to install the hardware monitoring plugins and I think i

can't access the performance overview because of this so this problem

is quite annoying.

Did anyone encounter this problem when upgrading ?

Thanks !

Alex

Hello Alex,

I've the same problem with the update from vCenter 3.5 U4. Initially I think that the problem was the Composer service that I have installed in vCenter, because I think that use the same port "8443". I've installed the update without Composer installed in the VC server and the result is the same error with this service:

"El servicio VMware VirtualCenter Management Webservices terminó con el error específico de servicio 0 (0x0)."

Do you have some advance in the problem?

My vCenter is a VM.

Regards,

Ferran

Hi,

I'm in the same situation, but in my case, I have a vSphere vCenter fresh installation. Also, when I try to logon to vCenter web Access, I get an 503 service unavailable error on my browser.

I don't know if the second problem is related to the first, but any help will be apprecied.

Hi,

I resolved this issue changing the maximum memory pool parameter from the tomcat configuration utility on the VMware programs group. Initially the parameter was at 1024 MB, but my server has a 2048 MB RAM, I changed to 512 MB and the services starts ...

Hope this helps.

J'ai eu le même problème après une installation tout fraiche de vCenter

Le service VMware VirtualCenter Management Webservices s'est arrêtéavec l'erreur service particulière 0 (0x0).Bizarrement, j'ai trouvé des erreurs concernant la mémoire dans les fichiers de Logs... En mettant à 512 Mb le MAximum memory Pool, ca marche !http://communities.vmware.com/message/1267839/!! Une autre valeur ne marcherait pas (jai mis 4 Gb de ram à ma machine virtuelle) I had the same problem with a fresh install of vCenter The VMware VirtualCenter Management Webservices stopped

with particular error 0 (0x0).

when you look in the Tomcat logs, you ll find an error about Memory

Try to put 512 Mb and it will work (my machine has 4 Gb of Ram)

Logged a support call and they gave me the folowing article

Changing the port to 8006 worked for me

Had the same error, reinstalling Java runtime and configuring tomcat to point to the new instance worked for me.
