vcenter is linked to Horizon.
The certificate of vcenter was expired yesterday.
someone rebooted vcenter and vcenter does not start.
Today I used option 8 of the vsphere certificate manager.
but vcenter not start.
i found the log
[Thread-9 WARN com.vmware.cis.server.util.impl.InitPoolTask opId=] Init pool encountered exception: com.vmware.cis.server.util.exception.VpxdClientException at attempt

_serverNamespace= / action = allow _pipeName= /var/run/vmware/vpxd-webserver-pipe)
so i update sts certificate

i accessed the vcenter psc vm by winscp
upload fixsts.sh
chmod +x fixsts.sh
use ./fixsts.sh
first vcenter psc vm all service restart
service-control --stop --all
service-control --start --all
second vcenter applience vm all service restart
service-control --stop --all
service-control --start --all
log in vcenter psc vm by putty
/usr/lib/vmware-vmca/bin/certificate-manager
i used option 8.
finally! start vCenter!!!
I hope it helps others, too.
At this point you should probably open a support request with GSS if this is a production down situation.
Hey RWEQRWQ,
First of all if you have an external deployment with PSC in another machine i would recommend to shutdown vCenter, restart PSC and power on vCenter again.
If that is not the case could you please show us what you can see on /var/log/vpxd.log?
sorry i can't upload you the log
there are vcenter in intranet
vcenter login page show me
"503 service unavailable (failed to connect to endpoint : N7Vmacore4Http20NamedPipeServiceSpecE:0x00005594b154b280]
_serverNamespace = / action = allow _pipeName - /var/run/vmware/vpxd-webserver-pipe)
i can't copy the log
so i'm looking for how to get log file.
Basically you are facing that issue because you have services down. Without the logs it is hard to know what issue are you facing.
I do not want the whole logs i just want you to provide the errors of that service so maybe we can point you to a useful KB or to the solution if somebody faced the same issue.
Do you have external PSC or Embedded ?
Check DNS resolution in the vCenter and PSC.
Check if your disk have free space.
Reboot both, psc and vCenter after you check that.
Again, as the guys are saying, without logs we are limited to guessing.
Also, as mentioned open the ticket with support asap
