Well apparently this is a known issue as VMware has created KB 2148520 in relation to it.
Apparently, after upgrade, there is a stale Service ID that needs to be removed.
Here are the steps from the KB. Below are my screenshots showing the actual steps:
This is a known issue affecting the vCenter Server 6.5.
Currently, there is no resolution.
To work around this issue, remove the stale serviceID:
- From a Web browser, connect to the vCenter Server Managed Object Browser (MOB) at:
https://vcenter_FQDN.com/cm/mob
- Login as the administrator@vsphere.local user.
- Click Search.
- Edit the Value column to only have these lines:
<searchCriteria></searchCriteria>
- Click Invoke Method.
- Press Ctrl+F and search for cis.vws.servicename.
- Copy the serviceID string directly above cis.vws.servicename.
- Exit this window.
- Click UnregisterService.
- Under the Value column, enter the string copied in step 7.
- Click Invoke Method.
