We have connection problems towards one of the vCenters servers.
We will intervene.
Update(s):
Date: 2011-10-29 06:40:14 UTC Service restarted.
Date: 2011-10-29 06:23:48 UTC Maintenance is still in progress.
After a full backup of the database and stopping the vCenter we still have 9 active connections who prevented us to apply the patches.
Date: 2011-10-29 06:21:02 UTC Maintenance started.
Date: 2011-10-29 06:20:37 UTC The problem seems to come from the sql table events of the vCenter.
The configuration that we have defined: 60 days for events and 120 days for the tasks does not seem to be applied.
We will perform maintenance tonight to purge this table.
The maintenance will begin at 22:30 and is expected to take 2 hours.
During the mainteance the vCenter service will not be available.
Date: 2011-10-29 06:13:11 UTC We had the same problem this morning.
The service is back.
We will check the logs to find the origin of the problem.
Date: 2011-10-27 08:56:00 UTC The service is up.
Date: 2011-10-27 08:55:34 UTC We will relaunch the service.
