I came to know about the bug in SEP 12.1 RU1 MP1 about this issue & there is some registry tweaking for this which fixes this issue.

Do any one know this registry key fix?

Your SEPM is unable to connect to the database. Try running a repair on SEPM, if still no success

Please perform DR:-

Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.x: Best Practices for Disaster Recovery with the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager

http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH102333

Open Server.xml , open in notepad , change port from 8005 to 8006 and check .

Location :-  <Install Dir>\Tomcat\conf\server.xml

make sure to create alternate copy of xml before making changes to it ,

Once port is changed try restarting the service might work .

Run the dbvalidator to check if DB is still working :\program files\Symantec\Symantec endpoint protection manager\tools

If still its not working then ..check if you have another application that uses Sybase ( adaptive server anywhere ) database ..is there any other process for dbsrv ie semsrv ?
