Hello.
After working fine for a few months, our VRA 6.1 appliance running VCO server is not starting up.
The vco server (started with 'service vco-server start') runs for sometime and fails.
The server.log shows this message
2015-02-24 11:48:59.485+0530 [localhost-startStop-1] ERROR {} [ServerChecker] **************************************************************************************
2015-02-24 11:48:59.485+0530 [localhost-startStop-1] ERROR {} [ServerChecker] ** An essential server component is missing or invalid, the server will be shutdown
2015-02-24 11:48:59.485+0530 [localhost-startStop-1] ERROR {} [ServerChecker] **************************************************************************************
The exception trace starts like this
2015-02-24 11:48:59.085+0530 [localhost-startStop-1] WARN {} [LicenseCheckerService] Unable to load allowed methods (Reason : interface com.vmware.o11n.licensing.LicenseAttributes is not visible from class loader)

The license is valid.
Searching for the exception in forums told me to restore the 'INSTALL/app-server/data directory
But the data directory only contains hornetq directory. No hsqldb files. Has this changed with VRA 6.1?
What is the solution for this problem? Please help. Thanks
