Issue:-
Today when i was trying to power on one of my VM in vSphere 6 Environment it's getting failed with message "A general system error occurred: Connection refused".
Then i tried to power on this VM by directly connecting with my ESXi Host from vSphere Client and i was able to power on my vm then question was why i cannot start the same VM if i am connected with my ESXi host through vCenter. Then i found a KB article from VMware on How to start/stop the services in vCenter Server Appliance Version 6.
Reason:-
VMware vCenter Workflow Manager Service was Stopped.
1. To get in to vCSA 6.0 Shell
(a). I accessed my vCSA 6.0 through Putty
(b). Then to enable BASH access i executed this command
shell.set --enabled True
(c) Then to Launch BASH i executed this command
shell
service-control --status vmware-vpx-workflow
Solution:-
Start the VMware vCenter Workflow Manager Service
service-control --start vmware-vpx-workflow
After this i tried to Power On the VM again and i was able to power it on.
