• DIRT and what his role with the MS - SQL database

  I am setting up the procedure for the Bare Metal Restore for our Telco servers. And I wonder if the DIRT back up the MS - SQL databases.

  We have 4.0 (4) SR1 and use DIRT 1.0 Build 122

  Thank you

  Debbie

  Restoration of dirt requires that the unit (same saved version) is running before, it'll do a restore - as these UnityDB and ReportDb databases must be present - restoring pulling data out of the local DBs first before their replacement by the saved tables (without things like the name of the local server, which GC/DCs we are connected) configuration etc...). So no, it won't it create on the fly because the restore cannot function without a server in operation of the first unit. This isn't just a backup and restore, but also a type migration tool.

• Migrate the Virtual Center databases

  I'll be moving on my DB Manager Update VM DB, composer DB VM and VM DB license to a new SQL 2005 server, virtual Center. Is it OK just to stop the services on the Virtual Center and DB SQL Server and then migrate the DBs to the new server? And then then recreate ODBC connections?

  Yes, I stopped services.  Also, see this KB, http://kb.vmware.com/kb/7960893 , it may be useful

• Inserting data in the form SQL database

  I'm sure this question has been asked before, but during my research, I couldn't find an answer.
  
  I have a field of file download a form where users can download a separator: excel file, which is inserted into the SQL tab. This method works correctly. In the same form, I have a couple of text entry boxes in which I want the data that the user entered to be inserted in every row in the database SQL - in conjunction with the excel data entries. I hope I explained this correctly. Let me give a Visual. Here are the fields of the form:
  
  FILE LOCATION: [] Browse...
  [TAIL:]
  [INSTALLATION:]
  [DOWNLOAD DATE:]
  [ENTRY DATE:]
  
  The user has access to their file and inserts the rest of form fields. In the background, Coldfusion downloads the file and it then inserts into the SQL database. I need to take the rest of the data entered by the user (TAIL, INSTALLATION, DOWNLOAD DATE, DATE of ENTRY) and add/update on the same lines as the data of the file upload (excel sheet).
  
  I am sure that this would imply a sort of < cfloop >, but not quite sure how to code correctly. Please notify.

  Found the solution. I have a will insert my excel data in a line at a time. I went ahead and added the 4 forms of the insert fields and it looped through each line while adding the values in the form. Thanks for your help anyway Westside, much appreciated.

• Activate the VCA Mode of VMware vCenter Server Appliance

  Hello

  I'm pretty new on vSphere.  I have two hosts running esxi 5.1 what one of these hosts running the "VMware vCenter Server Appliance' with vSphere version 5.5.  I currently have a single cluster containing all the VMS as well hosts and the SAN.

  I try to activate the EVC mode, but when I try it tells me that the host is not allowed because there are powered on virtual machines.  I can turn off all the virtual machines except the vCenter device and I still get the problem on the host that has the device on it.  If I turn off the unit, I can't use vSphere to activate CVS.

  How can I activate CVS when vSphere does not work?

  Thank you

  Jeff

  Hi Welcome to the communities,

  This one is a bit complicated

  You have:

  1. turn off all VMs on Host1 (while vCenter device is on Host2)

  2 bring Host1 on Cluster, select CVS clustered.

  3. put all the virtual machines on Host2 (also vCenter device)

  4. connect on Host2 directly to vSphere Client Windows

  5. remove the vCenter inventory unit

  6. connect on Host1 directly to vSphere Client Windows

  7. the data store when the appliance and add it to the inventory of research. Power on

  8. connect the device with Web client or vSphere vCenter

  9. move the second host in the cluster

  And you're done

• Backup SQL database for vcenter

  Hello

  I recently installed a version of vcenter 4.  It comes for free with SQL server 2005.  I want to backup my database.  Can I use 2008 Management Studio Express to back up the database?  Here is the link I'm talking about:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?ID=22985

  I usually install Management Studio in the same edition as the database. However, I'm pretty sure that a new Management Studio supports the old databases to 100%.

• Table of DB tools list: how to access tables that are in the different SQL database?

  Hi all

  I work on an implementation of database (SQL server) and evaluates the Toolkit OR DB for this project.

  One of the requirements is that I need access to the tables that are in two different database

  (say Table to 1 DB and Table B to 2 DB).

  Our IT guy linked table in DB1 to DB 2 and I verfied this when I use the SQL server management studio.

  When DB 2 tables is filled, table from DB1 is also there. I can also do the same thing using MS Access.

  Table A of the DB1 is available for me enven if I only connect to 2 DB.

  Here comes the problem.

  When I use DB tool list Table.vi to access DB2, it does NOT list A table in DB1. It list only the tables in

  the database (DB2) which I am connection (using DB tool opened Connection.vi with a file DSN)

  So my work around right now is to open a separate connection both DB1 and DB2. However, this approach

  obviously creates a problem when I have to access a separate database constantly in my application.

  What would be a solution to this? I have search the Forum but only to see a post that is somewhat related to

  My question. (And it was published the 2004) Maybe I need to change the code in the orignial VI (DB tool list Table.vi)?

  My computer guy told me that he has not met this scenario since he wrote code in another environment such as

  VB and others and it has always been successful in linking the different database tables.

  I hope my question is clear and healthy because I don't really know much about database terminology.

  Any comment or suggestion is appreciated!

  Thank you

  Ok.  Here is some information that I can work with.  Good.

  Your COMPUTER staff created a view called "VISUAL_WORK_ORDER".

  A view isn't a table.  It is a "virtual" table  Views are used to collect data (usually) in several different tables.

  But I guess that the code inside the DB tool list Table.vi returns a list of tables.  Views are not the tables.  Then "VISUAL_WORK_ORDER" does not appear in the list.

  HOWEVER, this should not really matter.  The view is here!  And it can be queried like any table.  So, you can use DB tools Select Data.VI... and wire in "VISUAL_WORK_ORDER" as the name of the table.  This will return the contents of the view.  Alto!

• using the same datamodel with SQL database QML in 2 listviews

  I am using the code for the sample application quotes as starting point. I try to call the same SQL database with the quote template to build a list in the top level of my application and then create a list to the next heirachy.
  For, for example, imagine a list of different types of quotes (funny, sad, happy, etc.) on the home page, then the list of people with their quotes on the 2nd level and their exact quote at the 3rd level. When I use the same quotesModel qml and asyncksource at the top of the list and yet once in 2nd list level I get disconnection issues connect to my SQL database. How would I fix this?

  You only need a data source class, but you will need multiple instances of it.

  The disconnect message means that the new connection is now that of the database of driving. Will there be other errors in the log?

• Databases of vCenter update strategy

  We are currently deploying databases MS SQL Server 2008 Enterprise R2 SP2 - 64 bit for vCenter, VUM and SRM for vCenter 5.0 U1. We intend to upgrade to vCenter 5.5U1 and also upgrade databases MS SQL Server 2012 Enterprise 64-bit. We perform an in place upgrade using the existing databases of 2008, and then upgrade to SQL 2012. Are there known problems to know?

  Thank you.

  Hey jfoutwest,

  I did the movements of vCenter database / upgrades a few times and Vmware has a very detailed process for her, however whenever we moved it we have always had problems even if we followed article.  I would say a place in upgrade or re-installation of vCenter would be easier.

  You can also make a new version of vCenter in the new 2012 SQL as a parallel installation base and simply move the hosts the new vCenter whenever you want.

  This is the KB to move the vCenter database:

• Deleting a Sharepoint SQL database

  I have a Windows SBS 2008 Server and my OS drive is out of space. We run an exchange server to let you know that if you go to low disk space the exchange server can start acting funky. I found a sharepoint SQL database file that is 9 GB that I would delete, but I was not able to.

  I followed some instructions to make the files smaller newspapers through SQL Server Management Express, but I couldn't connect to a database that has been "Microsoft internal...." ", where I suspect the Sharepoint SQL database is located.
  In the end, we do not use Sharepoint so I would just delete the files associated with it. I also tried to follow the instructions on how to uninstall sharepoint, only to discover that it is not installed on the current server.
  I am at a loss on what to do now. Honestly every article I google was too technical for me. Thus, any suggestions with real instructions would be very beneficial for me! I am very tech savy, but have not learned much jargon tech Server at all and I'm a newb to SQL databases.
  Thanks for your help!

• sql database problem waterfalls

  Hello

  I use the cascades sql database! I am able to run the sql query, create tables and data screwed into it!

  But I am unable to read the sql database! Please help me!

  It's my code,

  SqlDataAccess sda (home.absoluteFilePath ("mydeb.db"));

  QVariant list = sda.execute ("SELECT * FROM MaTable");

  But I don't know how to recover data from this QVariant!

  Please help me...

  The result of function execute() is actually a QVariantMapList wrapped in a QVariant. (QVariantMapList is a TypeDef to see). To get your result set, you must cast to a QVariantList, gives you your lines, then extracts the columns of the QVariant map. Lets say you want to get the value of an INTEGER column called 'my_int_col' in the first row of the result set. Do it like this:

  int myInt;
  QString query = "SELECT * FROM mytable;";
  
  QVariant result = this->db->execute( query );
  if ( !this->db->hasError() ) {
      myInt = result.value()[0].value()["my_int_col"].value();
  } else {
      DataAccessError err = this->db->error();
      qCritical() << "SQLite Error -" << query << "-" << err.errorMessage();
  }
  

  Note that you must climb the QVariant column obtained from QVariantMap ().valueint line. Obviously, the cast that make you must match the data type of the column that you collect. Access to the other lines in the game by changing the [0] properly. Find out how many rows were returned with result.value(). count().

• Local SQL database migration from Vcenter 5 to a SQL cluster

  Hello

  I'm trying to migrate my real installation vcenter 5 with a sql local database to a SQL clusster.

  This is manipulation that I do:

  -Stop services vcenter

  -Copy the mdf and ldf for the database files in my directory my SQL cluster

  -Change the ODBC connector to specify the path of the database news

  After this manipulation I try to restart services Vcenter and he pop up me an error.

  After somes tests I do an unistall of the vcenter instance.

  I have check the ODBC connector after unistall and it has been deleted.

  I create another with the pathof my database to my SQL cluster and I restart installing Vcenter 5

  When I check "use an existing database" and specify my recreate ODBC connector before.

  Installation works very well.

  After restarting my server vcenter server start without problems and work.

  I need to know if there is a possibility of just 'fix' the instance to specify the new database because uninstall the instance is a great action?

  Thanks for help you,

  Hello

  I have try this manipulation in the laboratory environment and this work as a result of this step:

  -Copy the files mdf and listening to your new location of the database database

  -Unistall Vcenter Server on your server

  -Remove the ODBC if not erased by installation

  -Create it again with the new location of the database

  -Restart installing Vcenter Server and specify "use an existing database" and refer to the ODBC connector create just before

  -To complete the installation and launch your Vcenter

  Attention I have try this experiment with a 5 Vcenter environment.

  I don't know if it works with 5.1

• Is it necessary to keep the SQL Express database on vCenter?

  We have 6 guests, about 50 virtual machines, and SQL SERVER 2005 Express with two database databases: one for vCenter Update Manager.

  A few days ago, I have a problem with vSphere client, sometimes it works very slowly and sometimes it disconect vCenter.

  I have not found the reason for this behavior, but I suspect on sql. Sql databases has a low amount of space available, and the Task Manager sql service is about 900 MB (I guess that's the amount of RAM).

  I know that vmware would recommend max 5 guests and 50 virtual machines on sql express database, but I'm interesting what can do to increase the performance and space this database.

  I've already put the retention policy of database of 120 days and heard it is possible to purge old data, but I would like to hear some tips.

  Thank you

  You need not reinstall. Here (http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1028601) you have instructions in an example of migration of Enterprise Express - just point the DSN in the right place.

  Good luck!
