Installation of SQL Server for the virtual Center Server

Hi all

We bought 16 x 2 for ESX server CPU licenses.  So, I will prepare a database of virtual server of the Management Center 16 guests. As SQL Server 2005 Express is installed during installation of Virtual Center Server but VMware is recommended for use only for 5 guests.

So I would like to prepare a database of SQL for VC server, please help me how to make the database to the virtual Center Server. Are there special tables, configuration, permissions. I have no experience with databases then how should I go with it. Is there a guide for it. The ESX Server installation guide explains only create ODBC connections.

Please help me with this I would be very obliged.

I know that the procedure is restrited 2 steps (1 and 2) on page 68, but you need to install and configure SQL Server for your business standard (I guess asking the C: or D: and data/newspapers on E :). I'm not going to explain better how to install SQL Server on a server. For the SQL Server database:

  • Step 1: you create a database storing the files on the right disk (with at least 30 GB) with a default database size to the size defined by the "Calculator" (value of + 15% on the line of your choice statistical level).

  • Step 2: On your Microsoft SQL Server, create a user of SQL Server database with the database rights of operator (DBO). The default database for the DBO User is that you defined in step 1. Make sure the database user has a role of sysadmin server or the role of database db_ownerfixed on the VirtualCenter database and the MSDB database. The role db_owner on the MSDB database is required for the installation and upgradeonly. This role can be removed after installation or upgrade process iscompleted.

The user must be created for your standard business as service account (password never expires) with a long and complex password.

Other steps in the document are for the ODBC connection.

Creating the tables is made during the installation of VC. Nothing to do. A characteristic is not to stop the SQL Server agent because some tasks are scheduled in the database to 'compact' statistics.

For the record, the database is upgraded when installing patches VC creating of new tables, updating of data type or...

  • Unable to access role to change the settings for the virtual Center

    Hi all

    I recently created two new roles to restrict the Active Directory in Virtual Center security group and the Resource Pool. I cloned VM Administrator role and tweaked so that this group can view full data center while being only able to create/delete the virtual machines in the resource pool. However, I can't work on what permission setting would completely restrict the role of access and changes to the "vCenter Server Settings" on the home page.

    Can someone please help?

    Virtual Center: 4.0.0 (Build: 208111)

    Thank you

    Fadi

    That sounds right.  roles and rights spread from host/cluster view for the sake of server configurations.

    If you set the role to the next level in vCenter 4 (which is the name/IP of your vCenter), they will have access to it.

    You can define a low level (data center), then define non-role or nothing at the top level.  you will need to place this permission/role on each object in the data center, you have for each of these connections.

    Kind regards

  • The upgrade for the virtual center 2.5 update 3

    I'm currently running virtual center 2.5.0 Update 1.

    Yes.  Follow best practices in manual and separate the DB app.  Put it on the same server are a bad idea.  Other than that, it's an operation simple pretty seemless as long as you follow the instructions.

  • C# using Single SignOn (SSPI) for the virtual center of 2.5.0.119598

    I'm trying to use authentication using SSPI to work in my application c# passthru. Here is a snippet of code I am getting down to work.

    Returns a reference to VMware.Vim.SessionManager

    VMware.Vim.VimClient vimClient = new VMware.Vim.VimClient ();

    vimClient.Connect ("10.x.x.x," CommunicationProtocol.Https, 443);

    ServiceInstance ManagedObjectReference = new ManagedObjectReference();

    serviceInstance.Type = "ServiceInstance."

    serviceInstance.Value = "ServiceInstance."

    Sm SessionManager = new SessionManager (vimClient, serviceInstance);

    SM. LoginBySSPI (ct_b64, null);

    I get an exception when trying to call this method LoginBySSPI

    I'm not sure that it is a correct approach, but I would really like to be able to connect using single signon in my c# code, but not having much success.

    It works very well using PowerShell, but I want to be able to do it directly by using c# without using PS pipeline.

    Any suggesstions welcome.

    Thank you

    Hello

    It is normal to get this exception in the first inning. If you look at the documentation for the SDK this exception means: lifted during the authentication SSPI to negotiate.

    Scott wrote, in his position, you must call LoginBySSPI again with the return of the token to the server:

             SspiHelper ch = new SspiHelper();
             byte[] ct = null;
             byte[] st = null;
             bool cc = true;
    
             // Get the base64 token for the current Windows logon session.
             ch.InitializeClient(out ct, st, out cc);
    
             string ct_b64 = Convert.ToBase64String(ct);
    
             VMware.Vim.VimClient vimClient = new VMware.Vim.VimClient();
             vimClient.Connect("10.xx.xx.xx", CommunicationProtocol.Https, 443);
             SessionManager sm = new SessionManager(vimClient, vimClient.ServiceContent.SessionManager);
    
             bool serverNotReady = true;
             while (serverNotReady) {
                try {
    
                   sm.LoginBySSPI(ct_b64, "en");
                   serverNotReady = false;
                } catch (VMware.Vim.VimException ex) {
                   if (ex.MethodFault is SSPIChallenge) {

    You use VMware permission.

    First to create Windows user (may be a local user on VC or a user AD).

    Then on your virtual machine (in the authorization tab) add a role (e.g. VM user).

  • The upgrade of the Virtual Center 2 update 4 update?

    I am currently running ESXi on IBm blades and they are running version 3i, 3.5.0 Update 2

    We have Virtual Center 3.5 Update 2 installed as well.

    We seek to improve our 3i to 4 upgrade ESX and Virtual Center.  I was looking through the upgrade guide, but there wasn't this listed scenario.

    My plan was to:

    Take c and inplace upgrade of the Virtual Center Update 2 to 4 update server

    VMotion invited out of one of our blades, then update the blade and bring guests.

    Am I missing something?  Are there documents more precise that lists how should I do this?

    seems good... Just get a full backup of your DB vCenter before starting.

    The Upgrade Guide can be helpful as well.

    Also, VMware tools for your guest will require an upgrade as well.
