We had a happy vCenter 5.5.0 server running on Windows Server 2008, until we made the mistake of upgrading to 5.5.0B. Shortly after the upgrade, the vCenter server was running smoothly. However, about 5 hours later, the server started being plagued by issues such as the inventory service consistently failing to start, inventory service logs eating up all available space (we are talking 50GB in a matter of a few hours), Veeam backups failing, vMotion failing, and a few other issues which I believe revolve around the inventory service acting up. I have been working with VMware tech support for about 5 days now and we are at a point where we are considering just rolling back to a backup prior to the upgrade to 5.5B and just stick to 5.5.
My question is, has anyone else tried an upgrade from vCenter 5.5.0 to 5.5.0B? Was the update successful?
