in my case I had that issue "VDP hangs at starting VDP appliance systems" after trying making the upgrade from 5.8 to 5.8.2 following this procedure http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-51/topic/com.vmware.ICbase/PDF/vmware-data-protection-administration-guide-51.pdf ; so I think when I made the part of creating an snapshot could be affected something in the configuration; and after the first reboot took 104 minutes to start all the services. now everything is fine
