vRA7.x services do not register after a restart (2147446)
After restarting the vRealize Automation Appliance, you experience these symptoms:
- In the vRealize Appliance’s VAMI page, located at https://<vRA_FQDN_or_IP>:5480 under the Services tab, many services are not REGISTERED, either showing no status or are showing as FAILED.
- In the /var/log/vmware/vcac/catalina.out file, you see errors similar to:
vcac: [component="cafe:identity" priority="WARN" thread="tomcat-http--16" tenant context="abmDcLPx" token="a
bmDcLPx"] com.vmware.vcac.authentication.service.impl.AuthenticationMessageNotificationServiceImpl.loadServiceInfoAndRegisterSolutionUserForTenants:63 - No serviceInfo found for serviceInfoId [e5415d38-21a8-4948-9ea5-4ec968ab2e2c] of serviceType [com.vmware.csp.component.software.service]

Resolution
To resolve the issue:
- Log in to vRealize Automation’s VAMI page configuration at https://vRA_FQDN_or_IP:5480 using root credentials.
- Navigate to vRA Settings > SSO.
- Re-enter SSO credentials by adding ‘administrator@vsphere.local’ as the user and the associated password.
- Click the Save Settings button and wait for vRealize Automation to re-register to Horizon SSO.
- Navigate to the Services > refresh to verify that all services are again REGISTERED.
NOTE: This may take approximately 10 minutes for services to fully report back and you may have to log out of the vRealize Automation VAMI and log back in.
