After a few surprises that appeared less than a month ago in the article https://www.karolszczepanowski.pl/2015/02/24/problemy-z-vmware-vcenter-server-5-5/, it was time for another one…

This time the vCenter database stopped with the not very informative note “(Suspect)”, probably because something broke after a power failure (again).

Fortunately someone has already described the problem, so here is the source link:
