I have been working on setting up VCSA 5.5 in a lab environment for the past couple of days. I have run into a number of bugs that have caused me to re-install from scratch including the IP address reference for the InventoryService not properly changing when converting from static to DHCP and the workaround of generating new certificate information not helping.
Anyway, I now have almost everything up and running. I was able to successfully deploy cert-signed CAs onto it and add it to my demo AD domain.
However, after it comes up the vSphere Profile Driven Storage service and the vCenter Storage Monitoring Service both fail to start with messages of "Unable to retrieve health data from http://localhost/sms/health.xml "
I found some articles online suggesting that this is either due to a custom vCenter port = something I am not using - or a botched upgrade or uninstall/reinstall. This does not apply to me either. Or simply the service not trying to start up frequently enough.
I can't figure out the commands for trying to manually start this service or any other suggestions.
Has anyone else seen this or does anyone have suggestions for how to proceed with resolving these two services issues?
Thanks,
k
