Hi Peter,

Have you tried to reset the VUM/vLCM DB Reset ?

Note: This might lead you to manually recreate any custom baseline you might have created.

To reset the DB please check this KB: VMware Knowledge Base

Hi Peter,

You can try to stop html5 client service and rename the work directory using the below commands,

service-control --stop vsphere-ui

mv /usr/lib/vmware-vsphere-ui/server/work /usr/lib/vmware-vsphere-ui/server/work_old

service-control --start vsphere-ui

And retry to login and check if you still getting unexpected error, if you still receive same error check these logs files,

/var/log/vmware/vsphere-ui/logs/vsphere_client_virgo.log

/var/log/vmware/vmware-updatemgr/vum-server/lifecycle.log

Hi Peter,

From the above snippets I did not get much details as such. Can you take a putty session and run tail -f /var/log/vmware/vmware-updatemgr/vum-server/lifecycle.log and click on the Life Cycle Manager to get the unexpected error and make a note of the time stamp and press Ctrl+C to stop the log flow and check around the same time if you see any error message. If not check in the offline downloaded log bundle around the same time.

To collect the logs follow the below steps:

Collecting a support bundle from vCenter 6.x/7.x Server Appliance using a web browser

Open a web browser and navigate to https://vCenter_server_FQDN:443/appliance/support-bundle

  1. When prompted enter the root credentials and click Enter.

    The download will begin automatically as vm-support.tgz.

For more details check this KB: VMware Knowledge Base

Hi Peter,

Have you tried to reset the VUM/vLCM DB Reset ?

Note: This might lead you to manually recreate any custom baseline you might have created.

To reset the DB please check this KB: VMware Knowledge Base
