启动vmware-vpostgres服务
如下图，并且没有日志信息
通过vcenter命令行,多次尝试有时不能启动，并且多个服务不能启动包括vpxd和vpostgre
service-control --start --all
有时可以启动并正常访问
处理过程如下
先后经历了3个dell工程师调试，前后历时2个礼拜
第一个工程师简单处理了一阵，要了vcenter系统日志，通过5480端口导出(dell给出的ftp服务器都是国外的，上传很慢，之后用的百度网盘，你可以直接跳过这个坑)
第二个工程师分析日志之后怀疑可能是回环地址丢失，他根据的是https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/59476?lang=zh_cn 这个kb得出的结论，但实际我的有回环地址，并根据kb的解决方案调整了我的host文件，并且怀疑是否是我的fqdn的问题，可是我的fqdn是ip地址，不会存在问题
第三个工程师远程连接并调试，并根据这个kb https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/59555 解决了这个问题，但是这里的错误日志和我的这个并不相同，dell工程师给出的回答是经验判断
因为证书吊销列表里的废弃证书太多，导致服务控制脚本运行的时候访问这些内容花费了一些时间，然后数据库被连带着启动失败了。至于为什么会产生这么多废弃证书，dell工程师并没有具体指出原因，然后我又问了为什么数据库看不到错误日志的原因：说是失败不是因为数据库自己的问题导致的，所以数据库方面看不到错误 。
