Problem Recently following an upgrade that we performed to one of our external Platform Services Controllers, we noticed that we couldn't access the VAMI service of the appliance. Troubleshooting Initially we connect through SSH to the console of the appliance and run below command to check the status of light webserver that is being used by the VAMI. $ service vami-lighttp status Below screen verifies that service hasn't started, and some errors related with this issue, Solution The issue is related with a duplicate entry of server.use-ipv6 to the global configuration file of the lighthttp web server, as it can be seen from the above screen. To fix this issue, you can perform the following, Connect to the vCenter/PSC appliance through SSH, and change view to bash shell Run below command to modify the global configuration file of the lighthttp web server, $ vim /opt/vmware/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf Search for the duplicate entry of the configuration entry server.use-ipv6, and comment it out; in our case the duplicate entry was found at the last line of the file. Restart the lighthttpd service and now everything should be ok $ service vami-lighttp start Related articles External articles VMTN article, vcsa 6.5. update - VAMI not working https://communities.vmware.com/message/2649755#2649755 VMware KB 2132965 https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2132965
