Hyperconverged Infrastructure & Virtualization

Recently I had to restart the web-client service in vcsa 6.0 U1 appliance and found out that the web client service is called differently than in the windows vCenter. the web client service in the vcsa is called vSphere-client

here are the commands to start, stop and restart any services in the vcsa appliance.

To restart a vCenter Server and/or Platform Services Controller service using the command-line:
Log in as root through an SSH or console session on the vCenter Server Appliance.
Run this command to enable the shell:

shell.set --enabled true

Run this command to launch the shell:

shell

Run this command to change directories to /bin:

cd /bin

Run this command to list the vCenter Server Appliance services:

service-control --list

Run this command to stop a specific service:

service-control --stop servicename

You may also stop all services by typing the command:

service-control --stop --all

Run this command to start a specific service:

service-control --start servicename

You may also start all services by typing the command:

service-control --start --all

Here are all the services in the vCenter server appliance –>
