2014-09-30T09:14:58.861-07:00 [04180 info 'Default'] Forcing shutdown of VMware VirtualCenter now
any idea? sso/inventory service is started fine
seems like the issue was a wrong login sso password being entered in sql server. Once I corrected the sso login password for the database in sql, the vcenter service started fine.
At least this worked in my situation.
Thanks
Have a look at this http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2056296
Is Virtual Center setup in Simple mode so all the roles are on 1 server, or is the roles split out between different servers?
Also is your database connection to vCenter working currectly and nothing has changed there? AKA password expired, account expired ect?
This is also SSO 5.5 correct?
Also check your hosts file to make sure nothing has been edited in there for your loopback address:
http://www.vmwarearena.com/2013/08/vcenter-service-failed-to-start-with.html
Which version of vCenter ? SSO is running ? Check if helps: VMware KB: VMware VirtualCenter Server service fails to start with the error: Unable to create SSO f...
tried that kb already. doesnt work
yes all roles are on one server. db is on another db server.
this is vcenter 5.1 U2
So SSO 5.1 had a database as well. Can you connect to that database in the DNS page in ODBC connections fine?
what dns page?
I think he meant the DSN.

yes odbc connected fine to database and connectivity passed.
what else to check?
is it an ssl error? we using self signed
where can i login as admin@system-domain?
Does vcenter web services and vcenter server service needs to be started before I can login as this user?
Try login on vSphere Web Client... the SSO and Web Client services must be running.
isnt web services dependent on vsphere server service to be started?
web services will not start. sso/inventory is started though
I'm talking about the VMware vSphere Web Client service, not the VMware VirtualCenter Management Webservices that like you already know, depends of VMware VirtualCenter Server.
how can i find out if the sso admin password has expired or not?
still cant start vcenter service. What can i do here?
If your SSO password has expired, you will get a error message as in this KB
