The Archestra License Server Service Terminated Unexpectedly

As mentioned before, you have to start a windows service in the system control. You find it by using the search-window. Type in 'services'. Normally it should be started automatically. Have you installed the Software as admin and with deactivated anti-virus-scan? If not, it can be the reason for the not started service. Hope this helps, regards. Multiple errors from RedundancyPrimitiveRuntime.cpp appear in the log after the bootstrap service is terminated on the primary Application Server node. L00128364: SR 47910004: When migrating a Galaxy from 3.1SP3P1 to 2012R2 the system can erroneously display the following message: 'The Galaxy name conflicts with an existing object in the Galaxy.' How to Fix Error 1067: ‘The process terminated unexpectedly’ The error 1067 can occur with various Windows service and the message usually appears when you are trying to execute an action which would usually cause a service to start. The most common occurrence for this error message would be the SQL service and service similar to it. ERRINFOSERVERWINLOGONCRASH 0x00000017.

Upgrade Requirement:
Optional - Users should update to this version if their system is affected by one of the documented fixes or if there is a desire to utilize any of the enhanced functionality provided by this version.

Important:

iLO Firmware Version:

  • This version of AMS has been tested with iLO 5 firmware version 1.44. It is recommended to install AMS 1.44 on systems with iLO 5 firmware 1.43 or newer.

About installation and enablement of SMA service:

  • During AMS installation in interactive mode, there is pop up message to selectively install SMA.
    • If Yes is selected, SMA service will be installed and set to running state.
    • If No is selected, SMA service will be installed but the service is not enabled.
  • During AMS installation in silent mode, SMA is installed but the service is not enabled.
  • To enable SMA service at a later time, go to the following folder: %ProgramFiles%OEMAMSService (Typically c:Program FilesOEMAMSService) and execute 'EnableSma.bat /f'
  • IMPORTANT: The SNMP service community name and permission must also be setup. This is not done by “EnableSma.bat”.
  • To disable SMA after it has been enabled, go to the following folder: %ProgramFiles%OEMAMSService (Typically c:Program FilesOEMAMSService) and execute 'DisableSma.bat /f'
  • After installing Windows operating system, make sure all the latest Microsoft Updates are downloaded and installed (wuapp.exe can be launched to start the update process). If this is not done, a critical error may be reported in Windows Event Log, “The Agentless Management Service terminated unexpectedly.”.

AMS Control Panel Applet:

  • The AMS control panel applet UI is best displayed on the system when screen resolution is 1280 x 1024 pixels or higher and text size 100%.

Notes:

  • IML events marked as repaired in ILO will not be mirrored in Windows Event Log.
  • If Windows Server 2016 Device Guard policy is enabled, AMS can be upgraded from an older version to a newer version, but it cannot be uninstalled. To uninstall AMS, the Device Guard policy needs to be temporarily disabled.
  • AMS Control Panel applet “SNMP” tab does not show SNMP settings and does not allow test trap generation
    when iLO5 encryption is set to SuiteB NSA mode. Please use iLO5->Management page as an alternate option
  • AMS may exhibit slow memory consumption increase in Windows Task Manager. This is due to known WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) issue in Microsoft Windows. It is expected be fixed in future Microsoft Windows updates or versions. To slow down memory consumption either:

1. Restart the AMS service (type 'net stop ams' followed by 'net start ams' in a command prompt) ...OR...

2. Create a new DWORD registry value named PollInterval in registry's HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServiceshpeamsParameters and set its value to higher than decimal 300. This value will determine how often (in seconds) AMS reads data from WMI.

Upgrade Requirement:
Optional - Users should update to this version if their system is affected by one of the documented fixes or if there is a desire to utilize any of the enhanced functionality provided by this version.

  • Fixed the minor memory leak in ams.exe process.
  • Fixed the security vulnerability of missing double-quote (') character in ImagePath value of AMS service in the registry.

VMware vCenter Server provides a centralized platform for managing your VMware vSphere environments so you can automate and deliver a virtual infrastructure with confidence. What’s new in vCenter Server 6.0 and what’s new in vCenter appliance 6.0 will help you understand all latest features of Virtual Center server. This article will help you to understand various troubleshooting steps to troubleshoot windows based vCenter Service. There is also an other version of Virtual Center . It is important to understand the difference between virtual center based on windows and vCenter appliance.

Error 1067 unable to start the VMware vCenter Service

I got a call from the monitoring tools team that our vCenter server is not working. As usual, I thought to start the stopped vCenter service. I noticed service was not started and i tried to start the service and it was throwing the below error:
Service
“Windows Could not start the VMware vCenter service on local computer. Error 1067: the process terminated unexpectedly”

Troubleshooting vCenter Service Step 1:

My first place to troubleshoot the vCenter service failure is “vpxd.log” on the below location
Windows 2003 – C:Documents and SettingsAll UsersApplication DataVMwareVMware VirtualCenterLogs
Windows 2008 – C:ProgramDataVMwareVMware VirtualCenterLogs”
In VPXD logs, i found the below error
[2012-06-05 03:57:53.047 08104 error ‘App’] Failed reading C:ProgramDataVMwareVMware VirtualCentervpxd.cfg. Line 33. class Vmacore::Xml::XMLParseException(mismatched tag)
[ 2012-06-05 03:57:53.047 08104 error ‘App’] [VpxdMain] Failed to init vmacore
From the above Log, I noticed the line telling me something about the cause for this issue.
Failed reading C:ProgramDataVMwareVMware VirtualCentervpxd.cfg. Line 33. class Vmacore::Xml::XMLParseException(mismatched tag)
There is a tag mismatched on the “vpxd.cfg” file. which is not allowing to start virtual center service.

Troubleshooting vCenter Service Step 2:

I have started my investigation into my virtual center server configuration file “Vpxd.cfg” and the error messge telling me that Line 33 is culprit so, I started targetting my line towards 30 to 35 in “vpxd.cfg” file.
First, it looks like the culprit is the below line.
Tried to start the service but no luck again failed and the error message in the vpxd log is different this time
“the Duplicate loop error”

Troubleshooting vCenter Service Step 3:

Again my target is vCenter Service configuration file “Vpxd.cfg”

The Archestra License Server Service Terminated Unexpectedly Email

This time found the issue and the issue is because of the loop # and # appears twice in the configuration file. Removed the extra loop and started the service. It started successfully.
The issue appeared because of the configuration file of vCenter service was edited as part of standard hardening but edited with the wrong format sometime before and my server was rebooted as part of patching process.Configuration changes takes effect if you restart the Virtual center service. After the reboot, Service was started.
