Vcenter inventory service

My vcenter appliance 5.5 inventory service is stopped.
we don't use any storage profiles and our backup is several weeks old.
the service will not start and no machines can vmotion.
can I just upgrade to a new server in lieu of resetting?
what does resetting do?

I would recommend a re-installation or upgrade.

ASKER

will the upgrade go in since the inventory service will not start?
The upgrade will replace all the existing services.
but does it need to copy over the database?
