• VCenter on MS SQL 2008 R2 installation

  Hello

  I can't install vCenter (4.1 Update 1).

  I installed a basic MS SQL Server R2 on a Windows Server 2008 R2.

  Installing vCenter I block at the choice of the database level.

  He therefore asks me if I want to use a 2005 Express version or a database of existing support. So I choose the second option, but it offers me nothing in the drop-down list (DSN).

  When I enter the name of the previously created DSN (via the control panel > administrative tools > Data Source (ODBC)), I have an error message "the DSN"xxx"does not exist or is not a 64-bit system DSN. vCenter Server requires a 64-bit system DSN. »

  1 - remember to install the client SQL 2008 R2 on the vCenter

  2 good create a "System DSN" and not UN "user DSN".

  3. to install at least a vCenter 4.1 (en 4.0 go looking for ODBC administration in SysWOW64)

• vCenter 4.1 & SQL 2008 R2

  I try to install vCenter 4.1.0 - 259021 on my new Server Windows 2008 R2 standard and SQL 2008 R2 Express 64 bit (build 10.50.1600)

  Is this a supported VMware platform? (no trace on vsp_compatibility_matrix.pdf)

  Thanks for help

  Mauro

  The OS is fine.

  But also check compatibility (page 12) DB.

  The ony SQL Express that is supported is the 2005 version.

  And SQL Server 2008 R2 is not supported at all, in fact. Only 2008 and 2005 versions.

• Migration of Vcenter DB from SQL SERVER 2005 to SQL 2008 Express

  Hello
  I'll migrate the physical vcenter server to a virtual machine, then I'll install a new VM with OS 2008R2 and SQL2008. But I need the migration plan
  vCenter DB from SQL 2005 to SQL2008. VMware also recommends

  Note: 1) VMware recommends now IP address and host name the same information to facilitate the migration.

  (2) software migration to different vCenter Server, Manager of update or VMware Orchestrator. For example, Site Recovery Manager is not migrated.

  (3) move the VMware Orchestrator database. You must do it manually.

  We can give to vcenter server new name and IP and if yes what will be then problem occur after the post migration.

  Thank you

  vmguy

  It takes to keep the same name and IP address? If we will give different vcenter and IP server name then how will transfer of post stage

  If you can keep the same name of host and IP, this would make it so much easier.  That said, if you need to change the host name and IP address of vCenter you can run into issues where all your guests appear as disconnected. Usually, you can right click and choose 'connect', asked credentials for your hosts of ESXi, but after that they should remain connected.

  In addition, just in case I posted above another KB.

• vCenter on vOrchestrator on SQL 2005 and SQL 2008?

  I was reading the support for vCenter and vOrchestrator matrix and was surprised to see that vCenter is fully supported on SQL 2008 but vOrchestrator is only supported on SQL 2005. As we all migrate to SQL 2008, we want to install as many vSPhere on SQL 2008 as possible. Is - it possible/decision-making supported to install vSphere on SQL 2008 and then separately install vOrchestrator on SQL 2005? Installing vCenter it seems to me that if both components have been installed at the same time, but maybe it was because I was in a lab environment and went with the built-in SQL Express.

  Any word on what vOrchestrator will support SQL 2008? I really don't like VMware may not have common requirements for all their products. I know that vOrchestorator was an acquisition, but still... come on people! Life is complicated enough.

  vCenter and Orchestrator use their own databases, you can install vCenter on SQL 2008 and Orchestrator 2005 without problem.

• Configuration of SQL 2008 R2, Enterprise Edition for vCenter Server 5.1

  Greetings to all seasons.

  Kind of a newbie here. That's my lab environment.

  I have always used the vCenter Server install Simple option that also installs the shipped Microsoft SQL 2008 R2 Express edition.

  Now, I do an eval of vSphere 5.1 and I want to manually configure a database server using the Microsoft SQL 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition.

  I know how to install the database server and it works. But I do not know how exactly set up a database for vCenter Server.

  I looked at the guide Configuration / Installation of vSphere and I don't seem to be able to follow the preparation vCenter Server databases section, because I'm not a person to the database. Y at - it any other guide or a blog, I can follow? I searched a lot and found everything I was looking for. Thought I would ask here.

  Here are the virtual machines I have.

  Lab - DC1 (domain controller)

  Lab - DC2 (domain controller)

  Lab-SQL1 (SQL 2008 R2, Enterprise Edition)

  Lab-SQL2 (SQL 2008 R2 Enterprise - subsequently configure failover clustering)

  Lab-VC1(vCenter Server 1)

  Any help is appreciated!

  Happy holidays.  Here is a link to another site with a nice installation guide for SQL 2008 for VMware.  Version 4.x, published in lonesysadmin.net was very helpful, so I'm sure that the 5.x update (have not read through it again) must be all too packed with useful tips.

• VCenter DB from SQL 2005 to Oracle Migration

  Hi all

  I am a student if the vCenter DB to SQL 2005 Standard to Oracle migration is possible.

  I already read a lot of documentation and found no clue on that goal.

  Anyone done any? Is it possible and functional?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  There is a thread on the homepage with the same question.

  http://communities.VMware.com/thread/308260?TSTART=0

  So yes it is possible.  But I recommend cool vCenter from a facility.  Either by moving your hosts on manually recreate your pools of files/resources etc, either using a script PowerCLI.  This way you will not end up with a bribery scheme.

  Hi, we have a problem with a windows 2008 R2 (US or EN) and a MS SQL 2008 EN SP1.

  We cannot install the vcenter server. We have an error "Error 25003. Installation failed to create the repository of the vCenter server. »

  It works with MS SQL Express 2005 or 2008 US.

  It also works with a MS SQL 2008 SP1 US.

  That's OK with a MS SQL 2008 SP1 EN when we install a vcenter 4.0 Update 1.

  We have another problem:

• Leaving the vCenter, database SQL 2008 R2 to SQL 2012 R2

  Hi guys,.

  I have a project to move our of vCenter company database in SQL 2008 R2 Cluster at our new farm of R2 SQL 2012, is it as simple as:

  1. backup of database

  2 restore database in SQL 2012 R2

  3. set up new DSN (SQL Native 11 for 2012 R2?) pointing to vCenter server

  OR is there more to him because of the differences between SQL 2008 R2 and SQL 2012 R2?

  PL, refer following links: -.

• Migrating from a SQL Express 2005 local database to SQL 2008

  I was reading up to the migration of the "shipped" vCetner 4.1 to a database SQL 2008 database external recently and came across these two articles VMWare KB:

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1028601

  and

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/documentLinkInt.do?micrositeID= & Popup = true & LanguageID = & externalId = 7960893

  The difference I see with these is that you have just to back up the database, import, reinstall vCenter, while the other has you just stop vCenter, migrate the database and re-create the rollup SQL Agent jobs. What article we should be followed? Both? Just the first one will be?

  Thanks for any input you can provide!

  Since MSSQL 2005 Express does not have the SQL agent, vCenter Server manages the hourly job.

  Switch to MSSQL 2008 Edition nonExpress would require for you allows you to deploy the necessary jobs.

  So, my suggestion is to use http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1028601 with a small change:

  After step 7. (there is a lack 8. you'll have 'implement' :-)) you must deploy the jobs described in http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1029824 (section 1))

• Users of Active Directory cannot connect to vCenter 5 device via vSphere Client

  I'm unable to use credentials to access AD unit vCenter 5 via the vSphere client. I get an error message that I can log in because of 'incorrect user or password name' I am able to connect with this AD username and password for my vCenter 4.1, and environment to my RDP hosts by using the credentials of the AD, if AD works very well. And the password that I entered is correct.

  I could connect with AD credentials two weeks ago. Two weeks ago I stopped being able to connect with the credentials of the AD. I dropped back to the use of the local access through the vSphere client root user login. It seems that two weeks ago, my Oracle user passwords has expired. I fixed that by connecting to the EM console and responding to the command prompt to change the passwords. I've "changed" them to return the same password. Then, I subsequently put the limit password_life_time unlimited in the default profile. I tested since the vCSA admin interface the database settings. The settings saved and restarted the service VPXD.

  I have a 5.0.0 - 455964 vCenter device connected to an Oracle database. I activated the AD authentication in vCenter web admin GUI. I restarted vCenter Server Appliance after you have enabled this feature. I have validated that the time on the device of vCenter and the Active Directory zone are less than one second on the other. DNS forward and reverse unit number of AD and self-esteem are good. DNS is hosted on the AD controller, so I have connectivity between vCenter and AD. I run the query domainjoin-cli command and output is correct. I checked from the vSphere that my AD user customer and the ad group each received the Administrator role for the vCenter in the permissions screen object.

  Any ideas where to look next?

  Paul

  Hello

  (1) log the vCenter Server Appliance as root.

  2) reset the number of connection attempts that have failed for the domain user assigned with the command:

  / sbin/pam_tally - reset user user@domain--

  (3) to determine the status of each user, run the following script:

  to CONNECT to ' / opt/same/bin/lw-enum-users | grep name | AWK {' print $2' '}'
  do
  DOMAIN = $(écho $LOGIN | cut-d ' \'-f1)

• Patching vCenter when Using SQL Server Express

  Hello

  I have a few questions about the correction of vCenter and will use the installation of vCenter Server 4.0 Patch1 as my reference for these issues...

  I use the tech note at http://www.badkey.com/DB/blogsphere.nsf/2/JWIE-7VDPKJ/ $File/PTech_note_vCenter_Server_4.0_Patch1.pdf the process document. This seems to be an official document from VMware, but I can't find anywhere on the VMware Web site. What is the correct process? It is on the VMware web site?

  Backup of the database - the tech note above does not have reference to smaller facilities that run SQL Express. Are there specifications compared to this type of installation? If I upgrade, I think he should see the 'old' database immediately, correct? If I do not use the backup for a reason, is there traps to do this up to-and-operational?

  Thank you

  number1vspherefan.

  If you point the existing of the current DB Server vCenter DSN, and then you perform the upgrade.

  Otherwise, you perform a new installation or an upgrade of old data.

  You can see the list of the DSN in your ODBC Manager.
