Powershell: Verifying the vCenter Services are running

This past weekend, I was unable to log into our vCenter server.   To quickly get the status of vCenter Services, I ran the following commands.

get-service -cn YourvCenterServer -DisplayName VMware*

 Unfortunately, the vCenter SSO service has a different service naming convention (gsv is an alias for get-service):

gsv -cn YourvCenterServer -DisplayName vCenter*

It turns out, the volumes associated with the sql server housing the vCenter DB were being moved from the Equallogic to the Compellent array....
