I would scratch the installation, and re-install, rather than trying to fix a failed new installation.

Well, the fact I don't know the cause worriy me, how i can be sure it will not hapen again in the next reboot
Personally, I would not waste time.
Is you SQL Service starting up?
Is this a physical or virtual installation?
What is the OS ?
What version are you trying to install ?
Local SQL or Remote ?

OK, I have re-installed the vCenter only. (i don't loos the database entry). Then now I can start manually the two services VMware VirtualCenter Server and VMware VirtualCenter Management Webservices however impossible to start them automatically. I try to modify dependency to SQL, add a delay starting.....
Have you waited for the services to start?
It would appear, your SQL Service is running slow...
What computer and specification is this?
I would add Delays to vCenter Server Service starting.
Does SQL start automatically ?

Yes SQL is starting OK, I said Yes because when I run both vCenter services all is running OK. the spec is 16 AMD opteron 6128 @ 2 GHz however I allowed only two processos for this virtaul machine and 8GB RAM.
have you tried the delay start of the vCenter Service ?
ASKER
Yes, i also make recovery with 4 minutes, same problem
So, if you restart you server
1. vCenter Service and Web Management Services do not start although set to automatic ?
but SQL service is started
2. if you manually start them after wards, they start with no issue ?
So what event log error is provided ?

OK, I found the error. By default those two services don't start this is sure. then to try to solve it I read this: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1007669
According with this tread we need to add a depencies to MSSQL$SQLEXP_VIM, this is wrong for SQL 2014, the service name is MSSQLSERVER. now all is working OK

Is this 2014 Express or FULL ?
ASKER
Full
Maybe a bug with vCenter installer.
ASKER
Possible but the service name MSSQL$SQLEXP_VIM never exist then is impossible to add into the reg vpxd. I think vCenter is not tested yet to run with SQL2014. anyway, thx for your help, i close this as resolved
