One thing to validate is that the database server hosting the VMware vCenter database is online and available.

Is this a current installation ? that has been running and working fine ?

Are you using SQL Express ?

If so check the size of the database is not larger or equal to 10GB.

Is SQL service started ?

its used to be working, after the reboot, just doesn't work, and it is the SQL express we are using , and the services is running  as well,
If so check the size of the database is not larger or equal to 10GB.
below db is just around 244 MB,
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.VIM_SQLEXP\MSSQL\DATA
you will need to start checking the vCenter logs.
may i know which log i should check ?
