Introduction
In case you face an issue with a clean install of MSE on Hyper-V. Initial setup goes through fine until it tries to start the services.
[root@JHBVMSE ~]# /etc/init.d/msed start
Starting MSE Platform
Starting Apache HTTPD Server
Apache Server is already running. Skipping restart.
Starting Health Monitor, Waiting to check the status.
Health Monitor successfully started
Starting Admin process...
Started Admin process.
Starting database ..............
Database started successfully. Starting framework and services ...................................................MSE startup not completed yet. Please check back later with getserverinfo command.
If you leave it for a while and then try running the getservinfo command you will get the following output.
[root@JHBVMSE ~]# getserverinfo
Health Monitor is running

Scenario 2
Another user faced exact similar issue but running on a VMWare ESXi host, not Hyper V.
He checked the RAM (11GB) and CPU (8 Cores) but still receive an error when starting the service or after completing setup
ERROR: Error in connecting to MSE Platform. Make sure MSE is up and running
Have attempted multiple times to stop/start the services using /opt/mse/msed start/stop and have rebooted the server completely.
Solution
Typically on new installs, services fail due to hardware support, not meeting the requirements for that install. Other reasons is changing the hardware configuration after an install.
The above mentioned solution was verified by user as he mentioned "That should have been the first thing I checked. Our VM administrator only gave it 4GB RAM. Upped that to 8GB and it works perfectly".
