To resolve this issue when the Storage Monitoring Service certificate has expired, regenerate a new self-signed certificate.
To confirm if the Storage Monitoring Service certificate has expired:
- Log in to vCenter Server using a remote desktop or console session.
- Open an administrative command prompt and navigate to the vCenter Server Java Components directory.
Note: In vCenter Server 5.5, the default location is C:\Program Files\Common Files\VMware\VMware vCenter Server - Java Components\bin.
- Run this command:
keytool -keystore "C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware VirtualCenter\SSL\sms.keystore" -storepass testpassword -list -v
Note: If vCenter Server was not installed using the default option, the preceding command must be updated to reflect the correct installation location.
- Check the Valid from and until fields to confirm the expiration of the certificate.
