• 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

• Cleaning of the space of SQL Express 2005 database; Sound to its fullest.

  Hi all

  Here's a question I need help. I have a vCenter Server, which has a database of maxed out of 4 GB on SQL Express 2005. It won't let me restart the service for vCenter Server if I restart the computer. Fortunately, I somehow got it upward after the restart, but not until I spent 3 hours on medium with HP/VMware. I went through the Article (KB1025914) showing the script that cleans your database, but it has not cleaned enough space to work. Now support tells me that I need to truncate the database, but I have to call Microsoft for support because they do not support problems with SQL even if it is a database of VMware and VMware the data that I need to clean all the partners. Go figure!

  After that go through all of these reasons, I realized that the table that uses my space is the dbo. Table VPX_EVENT of the 1.2 GB and dbo. Table VPX_EVENT_ARG to 995MB. I was able to come back in vCenter and I found that my database retention policy has been set to never delete for events and tasks, and now I have put in 90 days. Although it has not cleaned all the space in the database, I guess that's my question is. Can someone give me any indication on how I can clean these two tables? I want to delete all events and tasks that are more than 90 days from these two tables, which should give me should I want to shrink my database of at least 50%.

  Thanks for the help.

  After you change the setting, it will remove the events, but the size of the DB's not going down. You will need to run a full backup of the DB to truncate the logs. This will be relase little space but not automatically, it will just remove balls and add instead of whitespace. You can reduce the database and then you would see the size of the DB down. In SQL 2005 Express, you may need to run the cut several times, as I've experienced it won't shrink until the 3rd or 4th attempt.

• Planning application migration from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2008.

  We have a DB SQL Server 2005 to 2008.

  Customer is underway for DB Upgrade only and not upgrade the Hyperion applications.

  Hyp version: 11.1.2.1

  Components: Planning Hyp, EN and related services, ODI.

  I intend to

  1 put level SQL Server side by side and not place

  2 migrate Legacy applications on new server

  If someone has done this before faced any problem? I see no any problem which should appear as a result of migration from 2005 to 2008 Server, but I wanted to be clear about this. How to plan the application will manage the change in DB.

  Is there a method / recommended for this migration?

  Thank you

  Anjum

  SQL Server upgrade does not impact on Hyperion.

  If in the case of practice on different servers, I mean 2005 server 2008 Server, we have to configure again.

  Thank you

• Great migrations: move from vCenter 5.1 on Windows 2008R2/SQL 2008 5.1 or 5.5 on 2012 2012 Windows/SQL

  In anticipation of the end of mainstream support for Windows Server 2008 R2, I want to migrate an installation vCenter to a whole new server and MS SQL Server.

  It is a virtual machine running in my host cluster. There Server vCenter Update Manager, Converter Standalone and some services not VMware that I can handle it myself. ADAM is installed as part of the vCenter Server requirements, and it is also attached to an AD domain where I use AD, single sign - on.

  The host cluster is four 5.1 ESXi hosts that are up to date, and helped HA and DRS. They use also switches distributed to all of their network connectivity, including vMotion, management, fault tolerance (although I do not use FT) and virtual machines.

  I did upgrades on-site to vCenter before and I replaced SQL Express with SQL Standard on the same server, but I did not move before vCenter. I'd make some drastic measures, as I understand:

  * Complete backups (of course) of SQL in the server itself, ADAM

  Installation of a new server operating system and SQL 2012

  Withdrawal of databases and reinstall them on the new server

  * Restoration of ADAM on the new server

  Installation vCenter, Update Manager, etc.

  * Hoping the host cluster is mounted on the new server, and nothing breaks

  I'm not all that worried about maintaining statistics, so maybe it is possible to install a new server vCenter Server and simply move the host cluster from the old server to the new. I moved one vCenter to another host, but that was before I put in place of distributed switching.

  I found this on a related post:

  Migration in a new vCenter VMware environment. IT diversifies

  This manual seems to echo what I've read so far, I had to disassemble the distributed switches until I can migrate any host to a new server vCenter. Yuck. Well, I've migrated from the standard to the switches distributed without downtime before, so I can do the opposite.

  OK - it worked.

  However, for 64-bit installations, I had to use the WOW of SQL Express 2008 versions, because, the Citadel is a 32-bit database and installation of 64-bit native versions would not allow an upgrade of the Citadel of Instance.

• TMS 13.2.2 - SQL 2005 to SQL 2008 migration

  I want to confirm (as it already has a few posts on this topic) SQL2005 to SQL2008 db migration does not require all reinstalls / actions on the demand side.

  • We have TMS 13.2.2 slot with remote DB in SQL2005.
  • Our team of DB migrate all DB to SQL 2008 (and SQL2012 - which is not supported by TMS)
  • We want to confirm if DB team to migrate our database for 2008 (correct migration without change of name, etc) that TMS will continue to work without intervention of application of TMS. I mean by intervention without having to reinstall / install new packages on MSDS.

  I saw post about SQL2008 in SQL2005 express migration - but the answer also includes install again TMS...

  Hi Pawel,

  You will not have to uninstall and reinstall of TMS, you just need to use TMS tools has therefore at the point of application of TMS on the new external and instance SQL Server where db (tmsng) TMS will be. And as usual, you will need a user who, as appropriate for the SQL and the PB TMS (by documentation TMS - doc Install) access.

• Migration from SQL Server to Oracle during 11.1.2.4 upgrade

  Hi all

  To further expand on the title, wanted to check if it is possible to migrate from SQL Server to Oracle, while improving 11.1.2.1 to 11.1.2.4 on brand-new material. There is a change in all the components (s/w, h/w, RDBMS) so I wanted to run this generic statement by the forum to see what the experts think.

  Where in the equation can count us on LCM?

  I know that John Goodwin had already answered a few questions on the same subject for previous versions, but as 11.1.2.4 is a different game... I would be grateful if someone could share their thoughts.

  Thank you!

  If you are installed on hardware costs and migration then it should be independent of the RDBMS. Not to say there is no problems with passing of 11.1.2.1 to 11.1.2.4 (if you use planning, for example, business rules-> Calc Manager) but they certainly should not be linked to the fact you've changed the underlying database.
