In the past, I have documented start order of services in VMware vCenter Server Appliance 6.0 U2.
In the past, I simply stopped all services in VCSA, started them again and document the order.
Commands to do that are
service-control --stop --all
service-control --start --all
I did the same in vCenter Server Appliance 6.5 U1, and below are documented services started in the following order ...

In the past, I simply stopped all services in VCSA, started them again and document the order.
Commands to do that are
service-control --stop --all
service-control --start --all
I did the same in vCenter Server Appliance 6.5 U1, and below are documented services started in the following order ...
- lwsmd (Likewise Service Manager)
- vmafdd (VMware Authentication Framework)
- vmdird (VMware Directory Service)
- vmcad (VMware Certificate Service)
- vmware-sts-idmd (VMware Identity Management Service)
- vmware-stsd (VMware Security Token Service)
- vmdnsd (VMware Domain Name Service)
- vmware-psc-client (VMware Platform Services Controller Client)
- vmon (VMware Service Lifecycle Manager)
I was very surprised that there are no other services like vmware-vpostgres, vpxd, etc. I have found out that the rest of VCSA services are started by vmon service. To understand the start order we have to stop these servcies and start it again
/usr/lib/vmware-vmon/vmon-cli --batchstop ALL
/usr/lib/vmware-vmon/vmon-cli --batchstart ALL
vmon-cli do not report anything to standard output but it is very verbose to log file located at /var/log/vmware/vmon/vmon-syslog.log so grep of the log can help to understand the start order of vmon controlled services.
