Migration of VCenter 4.0 to 4.1 on the new server - database upgrade problem

• Migrate to the new server vCenter hw

  I make plans to migrate all my my old hardware of server vCenter ESX hosts to a new (and much faster). Both vCenter servers are version 4. To delete a my old vCenter ESX host, I need to put it in maintenance mode. Maintenance mode means turn it off or by moving my VMs to other hosts.

  Is there a way to move my ESX hosts to the new server vCenter without voltage VM?

  Hi bjornl,

  If you need to keep the virtual machines running on the host computers, while removing a cluster host, data center or same vCenter, and then select the option 'Disconnect' first. The host shows as grayed out and disconnected. Once in this state you can 'remove' the host of your first vCenter.

  Create your new data center and then "Add host" Cluster in the new. Everything will be powered on your virtual machines.

  The only issues I've had with this is if the original or the new cluster using vMotion improve compatibility (EVC). This aspect must correspond to both ends. Once you do this, it works fine.

  Hope this helps,

• Multiple vCenter on the same server database

  Hi all

  I'm migrating vCenter vCenter 5.5 5.1.

  Is it possible to use the same server SQL2008R2 for vCenter 5.5 database?

  Installation vCenter 5.5 database to the same server vCenter 5.1 will be will damage the 5.1 database? Use different database?

  What is the best way to secure the vcenter 5.1 during the installation of vcenter 5.5 database other than the database backup 5.1?

  Also does need seprate SSO database?

  Thank you...

  I used SQL dissferent account and vCenter was insalled on the new database without problems.

• Apex 4.0 to 4.1 on the new server migration translated application problem

  Hello
  
  I have a translated application works well on an apex 4.0 Server and want to upgrade to 4.1 using a new server.
  
  I did what I do normally, export schema and application, and then import the schema and the applications on the new server.
  
  This does not work for the main application, but it does not work for the translated application.
  
  If I run the application right after having established import, changes to the login pages between two languages that I use, but when you try to connect with the second language, it gives me the following error (112 is the main language and 113 is the translated application)

  Error     Error processing authentication.
            ORA-06550: line 2, column 37: PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol ".113" when expecting one of the following: ( ; is with authid as cluster order using external deterministic parallel_enable pipelined The symbol ".113" was ignored.

  If I have "seeds" and then "publish" the application in the menu of globalisation so the second language does not work at all (it continues to display the main language in the selection of the translated application).
  
  I went through a lot of threads and it seems to a problem with the translated applications.
  
  Is there a valid way to make the translated application work for this migration?

  Hello Teo,

  export your 4.0 system XLIFF file development. Also, make sure you import your application with the same application id in the 4.1, otherwise all the internal IDS will move.

• Migrate from SGD 11g to the new server.

  Hello
  We want to export from the repository of 11g grid control and put it in a new 11g database.
  And then install new 11g SGD pointing to this new database.
  This configuration will work smoothly?
  
  Thank you

  Here are a couple of notes that you should read. The main question you must answer is, you want to start to clean or maintain the history/jobs/roles metric, etc.. Who will have a big effect on how to do this.

• Migration of data from the old platform to the new primary database, need advice.

  I have physical standby facility and everything works now.
  
  Next weekend, we will do the actual migration of the old platform to the new environment.
  
  I have several issues of concern.
  
  Migration will go to the primary database. I'll have to remove patterns and inside expdp dmp.
  
  While I do all those, what data base waiting? should I disable it again apply?
  
  What other concerns and precautions I need to take before I have to remove all data from primary school and do a migration?
  
  Thank you in advance.

  Hello;

  My main concern would be the FRA (assuming you use it).

  By doing all that generates a ton of archives, you have to worry about the space on both sides.

  I would consider increasing my FRA on both sides.

  I would not disable the recovery, but I look very close and be willing to adjust my space as needed.

  As long as you don't miss space you should be fine. I had once a backup log files more than 250, and it took about 15 minutes to catch up.

  Have a little prepared scripts in advance if you can increase the space or delete archive applied and it should be fine.

  I also opened at least two terminals on the primary and Standby. Everyone look at space and the other to execute all what you need to adjust the space.

  The rest is common sense, first do the smaller drawing if you have an idea what to expect. Decaying etc. as much as possible.

  Best regards

  I have a shell script called 'quickcheck.sh' (use a separate but .env file it will send information vital back)

  With a little work, you can do this in something that makes it easy to keep an eye on things.

  #!/bin/bash
  ####################################################################
  #
  
  if [ "$1" ]
  then DBNAME=$1
  else
  echo "basename $0 : Syntax error : use . quickcheck  "

  #
  . /u01/app/oracle/dba_tool/env/${DBNAME}.env

• Migrating from Test to the new server - OBIEE

  Hello
  
  
  I was "assessment" OBIEE perfect on a test server small for awhile where I did considerable work on the two reports of the writing. development of dashboards, user security configuration and architecture of data needed in the physical layers / business model and presentations in administration of BI.
  
  My question is, what is the best way to transfer the solution in its current form to another server, without having to make extensive rework?
  
  
  
  Thanks for any advice,
  
  
  Robert.

  Lowest level: copy of the catalogue of the RPD and web on the other server, set the NQSConfig.ini and instanceconfig.xml and off you go.

  That's assuming you don't have change web messages, add custom images or files, change the styles or skins, you're still pointing to the same data sources etc. etc.

  You should take a look at one of the brands of earlier descriptions: http://www.rittmanmead.com/2008/04/28/migration-obiee-projects-between-dev-and-prod-environments/

  See you soon,.

• The steps required to perform a migration to a new server vCenter using distributed switches?

  We are currently on version 5.1 of vCenter and ESXi 5.1 on all our guests.  We use a vDS on our current server vCenter and will need to migrate to a new server vCenter soon.  Is there a documentation about the steps to migrate to a new server vCenter using switches distributed?  We hope to achieve this goal without any downtime.  The problem is that we need that VDS on our 10GB network for the aggregation of links.  If having to migrate guests at standard switches before moving them to the new vCenter server, there will be problems of network performance.

  Because information about your environment are stored in the database of vcenter al you should just be able to stand up the new vCenter server and that it points to the existing database

• Two vCenter - migration to vCenter Server 5

  Hello world.  I have a vCenter Server 4.1 to exsiting v4.1u1 hosts and production/DEV Essentials Enterprise production management.

  I want to build a new vCenter Server 5.  This new vCenter facility will also have the new databases and vcenter Update Manager, on a separate SQL Server.  I'm not worried about the loss of existing data as each of my existing hosts is also rebuilt to ESXi 5.

  My question is about licensing.  On the this server vCenter, all my license keys are exhausted.  If I build a new server vCenter, how can I add my existing ESX/ESXi servers to the new server vCenter without licenses available?  I realize that if I remove Let's said ESX01 since the existing vCenter server, these licenses go back in the pool on SERVER.  If I can't add ESX01 on the new vCenter server, I used this same license key?  In other words, have the same active key on two vCenter servers, which are not connected or even the same version?

  Clear as mud right?

  Thanks for your time.

  -Dave

  Using the same license key on both instances of vCenter server is actually the only way that you can migrate hosts on the new vCenter Server. I do not think that there is a problem of legal license if you disconnect a host of the "old" vCenter Server - releasing upward CPU licenses - and then assign the license to host again when you connect it to the new vCenter Server.

  In regards to your first sentence. Probably, you break the EULA if you manage Essentials through an instance other than the Server vCenter vCenter server for Essentials.

• Upgrade to Vcenter 4.1 to 5.0 on a new machine

  I was reading the documnetation upgrade. He said: you cannot use the tool datamigration to vcenter 4.1 to 5.0 because 4.1 requires 64 bit OS.

  True, but I want to install on a new machine on 2008R2. I don't see any on this scenario.

  Am I missing something?

  Hello

  I have personally performed some of these kinds of migration for customers and the best way that we used is to do a backup of the database SQL VC via the SQL Manager, build new VC alongside but in offline mode and then change the name of the server and the ip address of the old VC and getting the new one with the same name and IP and then restore the database data on the new server and everything should "migrate" overall no problem. Of course, ensure the compatibility between SQL versions so that the files work properly for you.

• Migrate to new server hides

  I've been running server on an old computer and now I am a new and have completed the introduction.

  I have many apps and installed OS cached on the old server, how can I migrate the cache on the new server?

  10.11.5 with 5.1.5 Server

  Two ways.

  1. If the new server can peer with the former, just run two servers for a while.  A new shoot gradually data it needs from the old when clients request it.  This method is best if the new server has already given cached which is not the old one.

  2. for a more immediate clone, stop two development servers cache, run this command in a Terminal on the new server, and then resume the new update server caching.  Replace the admin user with the name of an administrator account on the old server and old-server with the name or the IP address of the old server.

  $ sudo rsync - a - delete admin user@old-server: / library/server/cache/Data / / Library/Server/cache/Data /.

  The sudo and the rear bars (after data) are important.  This command replaces the new cache server with the content of the old cache, assuming that the two of them store their caches in the default location on the boot drive.  If we use a different location, change the command accordingly.  Be sure to copy only the data directory and not all of the caching folder.

• New Migration TMS with an old backup of the old server for TMS

  Hi all

  Since the Migration of data to the new server of TMS with the old backup of TMS old we have problems to access the MSDS server over https.

  Could be the reason of this problem, the old database movement?

  I checked all the Services of the Windows Server Manager 2008\ IIS and all other services, but without success.

  Is perhaps a few services that I forgot? Or other things?

  I thank for your feedback

  Solved

  HTTPS was not enabled in IIS on the server. Created a self-signed certificate and limits only the default Web page and it worked fine, locally and externally.

• Want to migrate the database (4node RAC) size of 4 TB of 10.2.0.5 at 11.2.0.4 on the new servers where the new type servers Primary (4 nodes) and Eve (4 nodes).

  Want to migrate the database (4node RAC) 4 TB size of 10.2.0.5(8 rompt = 4 prim/4 veille) to 11.2.0.4 on the new servers where the new type servers Primary (4 nodes) and Eve (4 nodes).  So with minimum downtime I have restore and recover again on 11.2.0.4 server must then clone that to create the day before.   Here, my question is can I take 0 backupp level before hand and restore on target (new) then primary at the time to leave the downtime take backup of level 1 of 10g and then retrieve it on 11g (new server) after successful recovery I'll perform clone to form eve of database on the new server. does this strategy work? If it works, can someone suggest me steps how can I need recover with backup after restoring the backup of level 0 on 11g. Like should I upgrade before you retrieve it with level 1 backup or I can update and then recover with the level 1 backup from the old server to the new server.

  Here is former servers of RHEL 5 version and new servers are RHEL 6 release.

• upgrade to vCenter on new server

  Hi all

  We currently have:

  A: Server vCenter current 5.5 with database on server b.

  Server B: vCenter SQL database

  C: brilliant new server

  We would like to do:

  Server: old 5.5 vCenter (not in use, stop)

  Server B: Server SQL database vCenter (same database as before, just upgraded to 6)

  C: Server vCenter 6.x with the same database on server B as before

  So what we want to do is to simply install vCenter 6 on the new server and point it at the existing database during the installation. Can you let us know if it works please? Otherwise what paths are available for us please (installation of 5.5 to the new server, pointing to the existing database, and then in place upgrade to 6 for example).

  See you soon.

  Hello

  VCenter installation costs 6 and that it points to a DB vCenter previously used for 5.5 will fail with the error of the incompatibility of data base (daily if with VMware support)

  What you need to do is:

  Server c: fresh installation of 5.5

  Perform an upgrade on the spot of 5.5 to 6.0 using the external DB. The DB is automatically promoted to VC6 compatibility during upgrade on site.

• VCenter Server to a new server transfer

  Hello
  I'm doing an update from the 2008 to the 2012r2 server.  I was wondering how to spend my vCenter server.

  We are running the essentials package.

  I thought just build a new server, the connection my hosts in vCenter and then close and delete the old server?
  My thought process is correct, or is there something else I need to do along the way?

  Hello

  The important thing to know with vCenter is the majority of your important information in the SQL database. You're right, install a new instance of vCenter on your new Server R2 of 2012 is the best way to go and make sure that you connect to your existing SQL DB.

  What version of vCenter/ESXi are you running? 5.5? There are a few other things to consider before proceeding, as the backup of your configuration of SSO and service inventory? Do you use things such as tags in the web client? Is your particularly complicated configuration of SSO? If this isn't the case, then you can probably not bother with their backup and restoration.

  If it were me, I'd do the following as a rough plan:

  (1) save the SQL DB to be 100% sure.

  (2) off your old server.

  (3) configure the new server with the old server's IP address. Make the necessary DNS changes.

  (4) 2012 R2 server Setup again.

  (5) for mounting and you are prompted, use an ODBC connection created in your existing SQL DB.

  (6) all the components and installation vCenter.

  (7) test of

  There would be other options to restore SSO / inventory if you want too.

  The plan to uninstall or disable the new server, restore your DB back backup and power on your old server.

  Happy to help you further if necessary!
