Why each option
After upgrading vCenter Server from 5.5 to 6.0, the legacy vCenter Inventory Service must be manually stopped and removed because it was deprecated and fully retired in the 6.0 release.
In vCenter 6.0, the Inventory Service was consolidated into other platform components and is no longer a functional or required service - leaving the 5.5 Inventory Service running after the upgrade wastes resources and can cause conflicts, so it must be manually stopped and then removed from the system.
Changing the Inventory Service startup type to automatic is incorrect because the service is fully deprecated in vCenter 6.0 and enabling it automatically would reintroduce a component that no longer serves a purpose.
Restarting the Inventory Service is the wrong action - it is deprecated in vCenter 6.0 and should be permanently removed, not cycled.
Setting the startup type to manual is insufficient because the service is obsolete in 6.0 and the correct remediation is complete removal, not simply preventing automatic startup.
Concept tested: Post-upgrade removal of deprecated vCenter Inventory Service 5.5 to 6.0
