Host Agent pre-upgrade: run the utility to upgrade on another computer?

Hello

I want to upgrade vCenter Server 4.1 to Version 5 soon. vCenter is now installed on a W2K3 - x 64 server and I want to replace that server with a new material and W2K8R2.

So I read the Upgrade Guide and KB1031307. I want to use the same PB and update.

There is a point that I do not understand: the vCenter Agent pre-upgrade Checker host checks to questions about the agent on the ESX host computers software. It verifies if the agent software can be updated etc.

KB 12031307 it is written that when upgrading on the same machine, I have to run the pre-upgrade utility.

Under the point upgrade to vCenter Server on a different Machine and upgrade the existing database , nothing is said about running the utility to pre-staged at level or not!

What I need to run in this scenario, or is it not necessary? In my view, the host ESX Server software is updated the same way, without worrying if I do an upgrade on the same server or on another machine... so I guess I need to run on the old server before you perform the upgrade on the new machine?

Thanks for any help/explanation

Best regards

Roland

So is it necessary

  • Run the tool on the old server
Yes, we run on the existing VC server. If we try on a new computer, pre-upgrade installation fails because there is no certificate for the available existing Vcenter server file.
  • the reported problems

Before the upgrade, we have to solve the problems if problems are identified.

  • start the process of upgrading to the new server

Yes, we have to do the installation of VC on the new machine pointing to the existing DB server. Installer will make the necessary changes to DB.

Its good to run DB pre-staged at level too, to confirm there is no problem next DB which will stop the upgrade. DB pre-staged at level details is available here.

  • Time protection real HELP in MSE stopped working after running the utility in Windows Live OneCare cleanup tool?

    Protection in real time in MSE stopped working after running the utility in Windows Live OneCare cleanup tool? Error Code: 0x800705b4

    Hello Wally,

    Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

    The question error codes and the description that you get suggests that you are facing problem when using MSE. This problem may occur if other security software, such as antivirus, antispyware and antimalware programs, are totally or partially installed on the computer.

    I suggest to change firewall security settings or disable temporary security on the system software and try using MSE and see if it makes a difference. How to temporarily disable security software, you can view the article mentioned below.

     

    Disable the antivirus 

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attack.

    For more details, please see the article mentioned below and see that it helps you to fix the problem.

  • Is this OK to run the utility on the active node TimesTen ttMigrate?

    Hello

    I heard that it is not a good idea to run the utility on the active node TimesTen ttMigrate but I saw no logical technical or a document explaining why?

    When you get a chance, please let me know.

    Thank you

    Sunil

    I guess you're referring to the execution of ttMigrate - a or c - to export one or more tables in an external file?

    The active node is usually much more heavily loaded than the day before and more sensitive to disturbance by activities such as an unloading of big data. In addition, according to the options that you use (or not use) with ttMigrate you will lock entire tables or hierarchies table whole even while the ttMigrate works and this could be very disruptive to applications running on the back-end database and could lead to timeout lock etc. Replication takes his retirement automatically for this kind of error if you run the ttMigrate on the starting node you will not impact on applications and you'll have only a relatively small impact on replication.

    If you do not want the sensation exported 100% transactional consistency (assuming that there are DML activity going on against the exported table) then you can use instead

    ttBulkCp o with the option - noForceSerializable to avoid any impact on the application to access the table.

  • Re: "insufficient privileges" error when you run the Java stored procedure in another schema

    I get an "insufficient privileges" error when you run the Java stored procedure in another schema, see details below.  I don't know what are missing privileges (I already granted the EXECUTE privilege), suggestions?  -Thank you.

    Define a simple java class and deploy it as a Java stored procedure to test:


    Schema: User1

    test of the package;

    public class HelloWorld {}

    public HelloWorld() {

    Super();

    }

    public static String Hello () {}

    Return "HELLO";

    }

    }

    CREATE or REPLACE FUNCTION HELLO RETURN VARCHAR2 AUTHID CURRENT_USER AS LANGUAGE JAVA NAME ' test. HelloWorld.hello () return java.lang.String';

    Grant execute on USER2 HELLO

    Test the Java stored procedure through the PL/SQL function call (in the same schema):


    Schema: User1

    SET SERVEROUTPUT ON

    DECLARE

    v_Return VARCHAR2 (200);

    BEGIN

    v_Return: = User1. HELLO;

    DBMS_OUTPUT. Put_line ('v_Return =' | v_Return);

    END;

    anonymous block filled

    v_Return = HELLO

    Test the Java stored procedure through the PL/SQL function call in a different pattern:


    Schema: USER2

    SET SERVEROUTPUT ON

    DECLARE

    v_Return VARCHAR2 (200);

    BEGIN

    v_Return: = User1. HELLO;

    DBMS_OUTPUT. Put_line ('v_Return =' | v_Return);

    END;

    Error report-

    ORA-01031: insufficient privileges

    ORA-06512: at "User1." HELLO', line 1

    ORA-06512: at line 4 level

    01031 00000 - "insufficient privileges".

    * Cause: An attempt was made to change the user name or password

    without the privilege appropriate. This error also occurs if

    trying to install a database without the need for employment

    access privileges.

    When Trusted Oracle is configure in DBMS MAC, this error may occur

    If the user has been granted the privilege necessary for a higher label

    that the connection is active.

    * Action: Ask the database to perform the operation or grant administrator

    the required privileges.

    For users Trusted Oracle get this error, well that granted the

    the privilege that is suitable for the top label, ask the database

    administrator to grant the privilege to the appropriate label.

    You have created the function with AUTHID CURRENT_USER, which means that the function is executed with the rights of the applicant (but not with the rights of the author). This means that the applicant must have grants (directly or through roles) on all used/accessible objects in the service. In your case the user USER2 has not granted with EXECUTE on the class/source Java test. Class HelloWorld, causing the ORA-01031 exception. You create service without AUTHID CURRENT_USER (i.e. with AUTHID DEFINE, which is by default, if you do not have a specific reason to use AUTHID CURRENT_USER) or grant EXECUTE on JAVA test SOURCE. Class HelloWorld to User2.

  • Run the utility Chkdsk does not solve my problem. What should I do next?

    I'm running an Excel 2007 worksheet by using the extensions both on a zip drive .xls and .xlsx.  I tried to open the two files on my PC at work, using Windows XP SP2.  I received the error message that "Excel cannot open the file because the file format or file extension is not valid.  Check that the file has not been damaged and that the file extension matches the format of the file. "I ran the utility twice using the following process: desktop > click the drive where the file > properties > tools > check now > will search for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.  When the disk check process is completed, a dialog box appears that reads "check disk is over."  No exit code was given at the end of each race.

    What should I do now?  BTW, I ran the Recovery Toolbox for Excel.  Read message "the file or directory is corrupted and unreadable.  Please run the Chkdsk utility."

    Thank you

    Yogi,

    You should always start your own thread, even if you think that your problem is exactly 'the same' as the issue raised by the original question.  After all, if you have had exactly the same problem, you should be able to use exactly the same solution and should not be asked.

    The data retrieved by chkdsk may or may not be usable.  The simplest data - for example, a plain text file - the more likely a file retrieved will be usable by the appropriate application.  More complex data - such as files created by Excel, Word and Powerpoint - may lack the essential elements of the formatting of the data that can make the unopenable file.

    That said, you need to rename a data file retrieved with the extension (3 or 4 characters after the dot) appropriate for the application you want to use with the file.  For example, if you see a file named Dec12Letter.chk, and you know that it is a Word file, rename it to Dec12Letter.doc.

    For Excel files, use .xls and Powerpoint, use. ppt.

    If you are using Office 2007 or 2010, use 4 letter extensions: docx, xlsx, pptx instead.

    Usually, this would happen if the hard drive is not set correctly in the basic input/output system (BIOS) or the settings in the basic input/output system (BIOS) are incorrect.
