Horizon Workspace Bad Gateway

After being on vacation and turning my lab back on after month of being powered down I found I couldn’t get Horizon Workspace operational again. Error message was Bad Gateway. I remember I had this problem before and it turned out to be an uplink down on one of my DVS switches associated to Workspace. This time, not the case. I debugged this problem by first trying to ping all the VA’s in the vApps and noticed the service-va didn’t respond. After checking the console I noticed it was failing to boot with filesystem errors. So after logging as root I ran fsck with no switches, rebooted and hey presto I’m a happy chappy once again…. Just in the nick of time as tomorrow I’m off to VMworld and I need my lab up to train people on what we are doing with vCloud and Horizon.
