I just read some KBs about the service "VMware vCenter Server Storage Monitoring Service" that fails to start but i never try to do something except the change of the service account. The different KBs specify some errors in logs that I never found. So I never tried their solutions. The KBs are :
- VMware KB: VMware vCenter Server Storage Monitoring Service fails to start
Note the sms.log not change since 13 dec 2013... I think this is the day I maked an upgrade and I think the problem occured since this date.
Note also I don't have the cachedb folder mentionned in the second KB. Maybe because the service never start completely. Same thing for the sms.log.
