Re: vSphere 5.5 : "The storage service is not initialized"

I faced the same problem. I started the following service ( "VMware VirtualCenter Management Webservices", "VMware VirtualCenter Server"  ande "VMware vSphere Profile-Driven Storage Service" ) from the same account.

The detail procedure is -

1.Start>Run>Type "services.msc"> Press "OK".

2. Right Click to "VMware VirtualCenter Management Webservices"> Properties.

3. Go to "Log On" tab.

4. Select "This account".

5. Give an valid(it may be from your Domain account) account name and password.

6. Restart the service.

7. Follow the same procedure for "VMware VirtualCenter Server"  and "VMware vSpher Profile-Driven Storage Service".

Thanks,
