Problem:
You can reach the VAMI login page at \\https:<vcenter IP>:5480 but cannot login with an ‘Unable to login’ error.
Solution:
The issue is that the applmgmt service is not started, you will have to start it from an SSH session to the appliance.
Login to the appliance and run:
Command> service-control --status
You will see that the applmgmt service is stopped:
Stopped: applmgmt vmcam vmware-imagebuilder vmware-mbcs vmware-netdumper vmware-statsmonitor vmware-vcha vsan-dps Running: lwsmd pschealth vmafdd vmcad vmdird vmdnsd vmonapi vmware-analytics vmware-certificatemanagement vmware-cis-license vmware-cm vmware-content-library vmware-eam vmware-perfcharts vmware-pod vmware-postgres-archiver vmware-rbd-watchdog vmware-rhttpproxy vmware-sca vmware-sps vmware-sts-idmd vmware-stsd vmware-topologysvc vmware-updatemgr vmware-vapi-endpoint vmware-vmon vmware-vpostgres vmware-vpxd vmware-vpxd-svcs vmware-vsan-health vmware-vsm vsphere-client vsphere-ui
Start the service:
Command> service-control --start applmgmt Operation not cancellable. Please wait for it to finish... Performing start operation on service applmgmt... Successfully started service applmgmt
You can now login
Thank you, was in a panic after an upgrade for a minute there lol
Thank you – Saved me some grief as well.
Thank you. Saved a lot of time.
Thank you very much, after a reboot due to a renew certificate, i was in panic.
Thanks again
It’s still not starting for me. What would be the next step?
Thanks ! I couldn’t figure out why I can log in via console but not the :5480 using the same password.
