When do you get those messages?

What is the version of vCenter Server?

Hey!

What do you see in the mbcs.log inside path /var/log

If you do service-control --status -all which are the services that you see stopped?

Some basic troubleshooting also:

  • Make sure your DNS Resolution is working (A and PTR)
  • Time is correctly configured and you can reach NTP.
  • You have enough free space in the system's partitions: df -h

However we look forward to see the output of the mbcs.log once you try to start it again.
