VSphere 5.1
ESXi Version: ESXi 5.1.0 1117900
Image Profile: (Updated) Dell ESXi-5.1-799733 (A00)
vCenter Version: VMware VirtualCenter 5.1.0 build-1235232
Web Clinet, SSO, vCenter Server, etc. are all installed on one VM.
This is a small deployment (12) VMs and is not using AD.
I came into work and attempted to login to the vSphere Web Client as usual.
When I open FireFox nd entered the VC address, the connection failed. Typically, I get the web blue login screen instantly.
I used the traditional vSphere Client to log onto the ESXi Server and open the vCenter VM. Thank goodness for the old standby!
Once logged in, the response time seemed slow so I used task Manger to check the process and performance.
Java was consuming 100% of the CPU. Java was running out of the folder ..VMware/infrastructure/jre/bin
I went to services and noticed that vCenter Server Service and Virtual Center Management Webservices were not running.
So, I tried a restart and they timed out and did not start.
I ended the Jave process and tried a restart of the services.
No luck,,, So, I restarted the vCenter VM (twice).
Finally, the service’s started.
Question is,
Why did the services stop?
I did not see any errors in the Windows event log that would point to the services stopping.
Are there Logs for the services located in VMware/infrastructure folders?
Would an Upgrade to 5.5 help solve this issue?
thanks
