Hello,
I have a VCSA 6.7 that encountered an issue this past Friday. We had an issue with our SAN server that caused our entire system to fail. After some troubleshooting, we got the SAN back up and luckily the data was ok.
But we noticed that the VCSA fails to startup. Our ESXi hosts look ok and the VM's on each host still work (can access the internet). The VCSA will boot up and I get a prompt but no services startup. If I try to start vpxd I get this error right away
root@vcsa01 [ ~ ]# service-control --start vpxd
Operation not cancellable. Please wait for it to finish...
Performing start operation on service vpxd...
Error executing start on service vpxd. Details {
"resolution": null,

"localized": "An error occurred while starting service 'vpxd'",
"args": [

],
"id": "install.ciscommon.service.failstart"
}
],
"problemId": null,

}
Service-control failed. Error: {
"resolution": null,
"detail": [
{
"translatable": "An error occurred while starting service '%(0)s'",
"localized": "An error occurred while starting service 'vpxd'",
"args": [

],
"id": "install.ciscommon.service.failstart"
}
],
"problemId": null,
"componentKey": null
}
I can't find anything in the vpxd log. I had tail -f running when starting the service but nothing showed when it tried to startup.
I am not sure if this is related to corrupt DB or bad config, but I am not sure where to start. I have been checking other logs but again nothing is getting recorded.
I don't have any syslog installed nor do I have vRealize running to capture logs.
Is there anything I can try? Has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks in advance
