My vCenter server has an issue in that the vSphere Update Manager service fails to start on boot, although it does start fine manually.
Everything looks normal, and have just reinstalled (updated) all of vCenter to 5.1u1a but that didn't solve the issue.
On boot, event logs show:
"A timeout was reached (30000 milliseconds) while waiting for the VMware vSphere Update Manager Service service to connect.", followed by "service did not respond to start request in a timely fashion".
The service is set to run as Local System Account, and set for automatic startup. Manually starting the service works fine.
There are also log entries a few minutes later:
"A timeout was reached (30000 milliseconds) while waiting for the VMware VirtualCenter Server service to connect." (however that service is running after boot)
"The VMware vSphere Profile-Driven Storage Service service terminated with service-specific error Incorrect function.."
The vCenter server itself is a physical machine (dual 2.8Ghz, 4Gb) running Server 2008R2 and only running vCenter.
Looked in the update manager logs and nothing.
Anyone have any thoughts on things to check?
Thanks,
Steve.
