What role does the vCenter database play in a 500 error?

The vCenter database is critical. Corruption or performance issues within the database are frequent causes of 500 errors. A corrupted database can lead to failed queries and service instability. Regularly perform database backups and maintenance tasks (index optimization, statistics updates). Use the vCenter Database Resiliency Check to proactively identify and address database issues. Ensure the database server has sufficient resources.
