• Question on the vCenter database works

  I'm trying to find out what the vCenter database consists of making it grow. Also is there a good way to monitor growth, so you don't need more space if you are using SQL Express?

  I deployed an OVA the other day and he watered vCenter because there was no room so he could do his thing. We were on SQL SERVER 2005 Express with the 4 GB limit and upgraded to SQL Express 2008 R2 with a limit of 10 GB to get going again. We do not want to do it again and I'm getting an idea of how the functions of data base and forcing it to fill up. We do not want to go with an external database at this point either.

  Hello

  Do you have a third party monitoring tool, which keep of querying data from the vCenter server. This can result in significant events. Also utility backup too can generate significant events to develop the database. .

• sizing and vCenter database SQL rights

  Hello

  I was wondering what are the minimum permissions on a SQL database which are required during the installation of vCenter and what are the permissions after installation is complete (to the day to day operation).

• Interrogate the vCenter Database...

  Maybe it's a little out of the box, but no one knows how to query the DB vCenter and return the 'attributes' within the 'Annotations '?

  There are custom fields added in the annotations, but they do not come to the top when I query the DB. The, a specific field is called "Client;". If I put something in the "Notes" section then the data in the SQL query, but nothing of our fields added.

  Here is a query based on the view if you want to try...

  Select * from VPXV_VMS

  Any ideas?

  Thank you

  Try a left join. If I remember correctly, that should give you all VM of table v, then only the info form f that are equal to the table v table

• the vCenter database upgrade

  Hi all

  I have a vCenter server vSphere 4.0 U2 and DB is running on external DB hotel MSSQL2005. DB guys want to spend to MSSQL2008 MSSQL2005.

  Can someone give me a link with information or what needs to be done on vCenter after DB upgrade.

  Thanks in advance

  You can still use SQL Native Client, and it will be 32 or 64 bit.  If the host OS vCenter is not changed, there should be no reason the ODBC driver update, that I am aware of.

  That said, you can download the driver below

• Northwind, MDF database SQL 2012...

  I am completely frustrated and spent more than a day on this problem (to feel like a real dummy). I downloaded Visual Studio RC 2012.  I'm trying to follow tutorials lightswitch and at the point of connectivity, he asks the database to Northwind. A nightmare begins!  First of all, no Northwind database comes with VS.  I can understand that.  Thanks a lot of research, I am able to download a 2008 version of Northwind, but only with the support of files (Northwind and Pubs) scripts to create.  I am able to create a file mdf NW.  In LightSwitch, I try the procedure of data connection.  It is said that this file is not supported with the new format of 2012, etc.  I tried to find a later version of NW, but nothing.  I tried downloading SQL Express 2012 and it does not install NW.mdf either. WOW!  All versions of SQL downloads provided this database as a "no brainer", but it seems impossible to get a database of SQL NW 2012 now.  Help please.  Even a zipped version would be too great and Pubs.  Thanks for any help.  I did not the maximum but running of research.

• placement of vCenter database

  Scenario: SRV1 is a virtual machine that has installed vcenter.  The vCenter database (SQL) is on VM SRV2.  Now I want to get SRV2, do little maintenance, change the configuration of the VM, etc..  Is it possible if the SQL database is offline?  A cluster or something similar would be necessary in this case?

  If stop you the SRV2 for maintenance the vCenter isn't available, but you can still connect directly to the ESXi host where SRV2 and make the virtual machine configuration changes... The SRV2 vmx10 hardware version, you should can the vSphere Client 5.5 02 update to be able to change the settings for the virtual machine.

• SQL Express for vCenter Database

  Hi, I intend to establish a small 12 Ent more ESXi 5 host environment and would like to ask if there is no limitation of the accommodation of the vCenter on SQL Express on the vCenter Server database. Additional, also hosting the databases of Manager Update and SRM.

  Thank you

  Hello

  To use SQL Express have a limitation (4 GB Maximum size database):

  Notes:
  • Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Express is intended for small deployments of up to 5 servers and/or 50 virtual machines.

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&docTypeID=DT_KB_1_1&externalID=2003790

  If you must you use VUM and SRM, consider using another SQL. It's better.

  Requeriments VUM - http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&externalId=2005084

  I m not sure if the SRM is compatible with SQL Express, please visit here http://partnerweb.vmware.com/comp_guide2/sim/interop_matrix.php?

• Discover the composer "database not supported" error

  Try to install View Composer (v3.0.0 - 691993) on my 5.1 SP1 of SQL Server 2012 with vCenter server. I have a 64-bit DSN pointing to my database of view called VMwareView and the works of connectivity test. I use SQL authentication. At the Setup screen where the composer asks for more information about DSN, I enter my info and get an error message: "the specified database is not supported by [ProductName]. I tried pointing my DSN on a SQL 2008 Server with a database of VMwareView empty and got the exact same message so I don't think that the problem is related to the version of SQL server. No problem with vCenter and SQL 2012.

  No work around for this problem?

  HI -.

  Can you check if the ODBC connection and make sure that you have selected ' Native Client 10.0' and not 11.0.

  Had the same problem myself today ;-)

• vCenter DB SQL migration problem...

  I am migrating the vCenter DB SQL to a dedicated SQL Server.

  He already uses SQL Server but on the VM as well as the installation of vCenter.

  Displacement of the DB and align the ODBC on the connection failed start service vCenter, so I decided to re - install from scratch.

  I did installing vCenter ODBC for the DB link and should be encouraged to use the existing database.

  There is no "happen so I had to go back."

  Any reason, why this did not happen for me?

• vCenter database operations?

  VCops5 requires its own database outside the vCenter database? Ive went through the documentation and it looks like a must be configured. However, I saw install messages/videos where no configuration database is performed. I just assumed it simply collected vCenter DB information and doesn't have its own.

  Please correct me if Im wrong (most likely).

  Thank you all!

  Joe

  vCops uses a separate DB (FSDB). This DB is already set up when you install the version of vCops TIME. If you install the stand alone vCops, you need to configure a SQL or Oracle back-end server. Please see the Installation and Configuration Guide for more information.

• vCenter database disk space

  Hello

  We have vcenter database (SQL 2005) on a computer separate virtual as the vcenter server. Vcenter database drive currently has 1.5 GB of available space.

  What is the best way to ensure that we are not running out of disk space on the unit containing the vcenter database?

  Thank you

  assuming that your DB is not on the system (c) partition, but rather on a separate data partition, you can use Windows diskpart to extend the volume without interruption to the BONE.

  Can we assume that the VM SQL has different HARD drives that are presented to each volume in the operating system?  If so, you can increase the size of the HARD drive in the vSphere Client, then run diskpart in the volume in the operating system.

  Also, see the bottom of discussion for some good advice on preserving the health of your VCDB

• Should I put my VCenter database on a server with other databases

  My sysadmin is reinstall VCenter and would put the VCenter database on the db server that has all other company databases (ERP, promotion, etc.). I am not convinced that it's a good idea and I was wondering if there would be a return important success caused by this addition.

  So from the outside you're saying that the DB server must be dedicated to the vCenter database?

  No, you're just adding another DB instance with your SQL Server.  Why would the VCDB be treated differently.  There is no need to build a SQL Server set for the instance a DB, especially if you already have an existing DB server.

• vCenter 5.5 U3 supported for SQL 2012 SP3?

  is it safe to use a database SQL 2012 SP3, with 5.5 U3 vcenter Server?

  To VMware vCenter Server 5.5 update 3 Release Notes release notes mention only SP2. SP3 is released for almost 5 months?

  According to VMware product interoperability Matrices, Service Pack 3 for SQL Server 2012 is already supported.
