Symptoms

VMware VirtualCenter Server service starts, then fails immediately.

The vpxd log contains these error messages:

Cause

This issue occurs when the default role is changed from Administrator to Virtual Machine User.

On startup, vCenter Server tries to insert the default role for the Administrators. The routine fails and VirtualCenter Server Service stops because the record for Administrators already exists in the database.

Resolution

Caution: This steps in this article deal with SQL database operations. VMware recommends that you are familiar with database concepts and have adequate backups before proceeding. If you are unsure of performing these operations, contact VMware Support for further assistance. For more information, see Filing a Support Request in Customer Connect (2006985).

To resolve this issue, update the ROLE_ID for Administrators:

Log in to SQL 2005/2008 using the SQL Management Studio.

In the SQL Management Studio select New Query and run this query against the existing vCenter Server database:

Select * from vpx_access

In the VPX_ACCESS table, check if ROLE_ID for Administrators is set to -1. If it is not set to -1, change the value to -1. To change this value, right-click the VPX_ACCESS table and select the Edit Top 200 Rows option.

Restart the VMware VirtualCenter Server service. For more information, see Stopping, starting, or restarting vCenter services (1003895).
