UNABLE TO LOGIN VCSA VMWARE VCENTER SERVER MANAGER
After reboot or integrating domain with vCenter We are not able to login in VMware vCenter server Manager to see the status of vCenter.
I have done this on VMware vCenter 7,6.7,6.5 but its same for all VCSA. You can access console with this URL https://VMware vCenter Server Appliance IP address:5480.
If you have not enabled the SSH or bash shell ,follow the steps to enable first
- Log in to the Direct Console User Interface of the vCenter Server Appliance.
- Select Troubleshooting Options and press Enter.
- From the Troubleshooting Mode Options menu, select to enable either Bash shell or SSH.
- Press Enter to enable the service.
- Press Esc until you return to the main menu of the Direct Console User Interface.
We can see that Services are not starting port rebooting vCenter
You can confirm the applmgmt service is running.
root@localhost # service-control --status --all
Stopped:
vmcam vmware-imagebuilder vmware-mbcs vmware-netdumper vmware-rbd-watchdog vmware-vcha vsan-dps

If your current VMware vCenter Server Appliance login session expires, you can reset the default timeout by editing the /etc/vmware-vpx/vami_timeout.cfg configuration parameter. Then restart the session with the following command
root@localhost# /etc/init.d/vami-sfcb.
If we start all services, We get error
Service-control failed. Error:Failed to start services in profile ALL.
Perform the below commands :-
Change the value from 60 to 600
Run two more commands for statmonitor service
And reboot the VC
Try login again in VMware vCenter Server Management
You can see VMware vCenter 7 is working fine.
