This article provides a workaround to resolve the error when we try to insert higher number than permitted into an integer type of data.
On large environments this sequence value can be exhausted after long usage. higher value than 2,147,483,647 would cause "integer out of range" failure and vCenter service crash.
Workaround here would re-initialize the sequence values and no schema changes made to the vCenter database.
vSphere 6.7 is designed to eliminate the probability of this sequence value exhaustion.This issue is resolved in vSphere 6.7 release, download is available at VMware Download.
