Problem:
There is a known bug with vCenter not closing database connections on Oracle DB's properly when shutdown. As a result when your vCenter server tries to start its services you may receive an error saying "Unable to get exclusive access to VC repository.Please
check if another VirtualCenter instance
is running
against the same database schema."
Resolution:
The fastest resolution to this problem is to kill the open connections on the Oracle Database and then start the services normally.
In addition to that VMWare has a long term solution to stop this from happening until a patch is released. The KB below has the details of the fix.
