Migration of Vcenter DB from SQL SERVER 2005 to SQL 2008 Express

Hello
I'll migrate the physical vcenter server to a virtual machine, then I'll install a new VM with OS 2008R2 and SQL2008. But I need the migration plan
vCenter DB from SQL 2005 to SQL2008. VMware also recommends

Note: 1) VMware recommends now IP address and host name the same information to facilitate the migration.

(2) software migration to different vCenter Server, Manager of update or VMware Orchestrator. For example, Site Recovery Manager is not migrated.

(3) move the VMware Orchestrator database. You must do it manually.

We can give to vcenter server new name and IP and if yes what will be then problem occur after the post migration.

Thank you

vmguy

It takes to keep the same name and IP address? If we will give different vcenter and IP server name then how will transfer of post stage

If you can keep the same name of host and IP, this would make it so much easier.  That said, if you need to change the host name and IP address of vCenter you can run into issues where all your guests appear as disconnected. Usually, you can right click and choose 'connect', asked credentials for your hosts of ESXi, but after that they should remain connected.

In addition, just in case I posted above another KB.

  • Microsoft SQL 2008 Express

    I'm having a problem connecting a MSSQL 2008 Express Server configured in Mode of Windows authentication by using the LabView database connectivity toolkit. I tried the following connection strings and received the following errors:

    DRIVER = {SQL Server} SERVER =\SQLEXPRESS. UID =\; PWD =;

    the error States:

    NI_Database_API.lvlib.vi B Open connect (String) tools-> odbc.vi testException occurred in the Microsoft OLE DB provider for ODBC drivers: [Microsoft] [ODBC SQL Server driver] [SQL Server] Login failed for user '-'. in NI_Database_API.lvlib.vi B Open connect (String) tools-> test odbc.vi

    PROVIDER = SQLOLEDB.1; SERVER =\SQLEXPRESS. UID=\; PWD =;

    I know that this user has the right to change the database and I know that it is not a firewall issue, as I tested it with the firewall off the coast.

    Help would be appreciated!

    It seems that, because I use the Windows Authentication Mode, there is no need to use the UID and PWD in the connection string. in fact, its use causes the error.

    DRIVER = {SQL Server} SERVER =\SQLEXPRESS.

    DRIVER = {SQL Server} SERVER =. \SQLEXPRESS;

    Can be used when connecting to the SQL 2008 Express Server.

  • PROBLEM CONNECTING TO SQL 2008 EXPRESS WITH ASP CLASSIC BETWEEN THE WORKSTATIONS ON A PRIVATE NETWORK

    I have created a private network (no internet connection) of four workstations, each running a SQL Express 2008 installation.  All four laptops are running Windows 7 Professional.  I created a homegroup for this private network.  While I don't care sharing of files between the four workstations, I have three of them in order to connect to the SQL 2008 Express database on the fourth mobile through channels of connection in the classic ASP programs.  Each of the four laptops can see others in the network.  I can ping the ip addresses of each to the other without any problem.  When I try to launch the ASP program on three laptop computers that attempt to connect to the SQL database on the fourth, I get the server does not exist or don't access denied error '80004005'.  The same program can also run on the fourth laptop and connects to the SQL database with no problems.  I tried to use SQLOLEDB and SQLNCLI10 provider in the chain of connection on the other three.  This operation fails.  I tried to add the IP address of the computer hosting the database as a Data Source in the connection on the other three string and still fails.  Named pipes and TCP/IP are enabled.  Each laptop can connect to the instance of SQLEXPRESS executed on each, but I need three to be able to connect to the instance of SQL Express running on the fourth.  Any ideas what I can do wrong?  This connection string works fine in the ASP program to connect to the local database on each laptop:

    Connection.Open "PROVIDER = SQLOLEDB; Server = computername\sqlexpress; UID = MyUser; PWD = MyUserPassword; DATABASE = MyDatabase ".

    Nothing seems to work for the chain of connection than the other three laptops to do to connect to this database on the fourth laptop.

  • VCenter DB from SQL 2005 to Oracle Migration

    Hi all

    I am a student if the vCenter DB to SQL 2005 Standard to Oracle migration is possible.

    I already read a lot of documentation and found no clue on that goal.

    Anyone done any? Is it possible and functional?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    There is a thread on the homepage with the same question.

    http://communities.VMware.com/thread/308260?TSTART=0

    So yes it is possible.  But I recommend cool vCenter from a facility.  Either by moving your hosts on manually recreate your pools of files/resources etc, either using a script PowerCLI.  This way you will not end up with a bribery scheme.

  • VCenter on MS SQL 2008 R2 installation

    Hello

    I can't install vCenter (4.1 Update 1).

    I installed a basic MS SQL Server R2 on a Windows Server 2008 R2.

    Installing vCenter I block at the choice of the database level.

    He therefore asks me if I want to use a 2005 Express version or a database of existing support. So I choose the second option, but it offers me nothing in the drop-down list (DSN).

    When I enter the name of the previously created DSN (via the control panel > administrative tools > Data Source (ODBC)), I have an error message "the DSN"xxx"does not exist or is not a 64-bit system DSN. vCenter Server requires a 64-bit system DSN. »

    1 - remember to install the client SQL 2008 R2 on the vCenter

    2 good create a "System DSN" and not UN "user DSN".

    3. to install at least a vCenter 4.1 (en 4.0 go looking for ODBC administration in SysWOW64)

    Is this a supported VMware platform? (no trace on vsp_compatibility_matrix.pdf)

    Thanks for help

    Mauro

    The OS is fine.

    But also check compatibility (page 12) DB.

    The ony SQL Express that is supported is the 2005 version.

    And SQL Server 2008 R2 is not supported at all, in fact. Only 2008 and 2005 versions.

  • Migration of the repository from one server to another

    Hi all

    We have components Hyperion (EPMA, planning, EAS, HFR, SSP) and SQL server on the same server. Now we intend to migrate SQL to another server.
    Here are some questions I have:

    1 we need to reconfigure the components individually?

    2. what difference it make by selecting the option ' Drop and recreate tables "/"reuse existing database.
    and what db do we need to select the option "to drop and recreate tables" / "reuse existing database?

    3. How can we upgrade / reconfigure EPMA planning application on the new server databases?


    Thank you
    Nainitha.

    Hello

    1.Do we need to reconfigure components individually?
    

    I think it depends on how you have configured your existing environment. If you used the separate database for the different components you will need to reconfigure again, and then select the option * "Perform Configuration at the time of the first" * so that you can update the connection information, and then select * "reuse existing database."

    2.what difference it makes selecting the option "Drop and recreate tables" / "Reuse the existing database".
    

    Well, if you choose * "Drop and recreate tables" *, all the tables that are going to happen and it would be as good as a new installation. If you have any planning application in your existing environment, it is not available when you perform reconfiguration and select this option. In addition, you would not be able to view data etc. Forms you currently use.

    for what db's do we need to select the option "Drop and recreate tables" / "Reuse the existing database" ?
    

    I think that you should select * "Reuse existing database" * for all components as you move the database to another machine, so that it updates only the relevant information.

    3.How can we update/reconfigure EPMA Planning application Databases to new server?
    

    Copy all databases which is used as a source of data to the new machine. Once you have configured the components, you would be able to display the data source in the workspace. Update the information in this regard.

    Thank you.

  • Migrate a vCenter device to a "Server" version

    Hello

    I'm running a vCenter in the form of an appliance. I want to move now to a windows installation. I'm actually under version 5.1 and I intend to migrate to version 5.5

    Is it possible to migrate such device if possible in a one shot?

    Thanks in advance for the answer.

    Hello

    Why do you want to migrate to the Windows Version?

    There is no direct upgrade/migration path.

    What you can do is to use an adhesive to VMware: InventorySnapshot & #8211; VMware Labs to migrate your inventory to the Windows Installation.

  • migration manager/connector view from a server to another server

    Hello

    I just wanted to move a Manager view of simply cloning and restore it on another machine with clonezilla. But it seems that clonezilla was not able to restore to the target server. Maybe because it's using a gpt disk.

    so, is there any way I can transfer configurations from Server A to Server B so server B can support which has had so far, including its pool?

    Yes, at this time you can disable the first broker for connections and delete it without any problem

    Hi guys,.

    questions. 'More' essential Kit. VMotion is available

    I have 2 physical servers, two of them have DAS (not SAN Central). SO I want to migrate a virtual machine on server A to server B. is it possible in this situation?

    Or should I have versions of more expensive VMWare do?

    Thank you
    Dmitry

    You can use clone. I would close first to the bottom of the virtual machine, but a VM slowed would be very nice clone. You can also use the VMware conveter. VMware converter can make a hot clone, including synchronization of last-minute changes, stop the source machine and put under tension the clone.

  • No response from the server after January 31, 2008

    Hello

    Earlier, came across a strange problem. I'm working on a flex application using Flex 2 SDK and the screens LCD with Tomcat. Everything was working fine until yesterday (January 31, 2008).
    But when I run my application today (February 1, 2008), the request goes to the server and infact the server has processed the request (see leave log files) but the answer is not the client (result or fault).
    If I change my local system date or before yesterday (January 31, 2008) and run the application, everything works fine.

    I guess that's due to problem of license with LCDs, but I m using the Express version, which has no such restrictions. I'm looking at the same.

    In the mean time I would, if I could get hints or solutions to the problem above.

    Thank you
    Mylene.

    I found the problem.
    It has nothing to do with any type of licenses.
    There was a bug in date with Hibernate has been using our app and fix this problem solved this problem.

  • VRM not connected to SQL 2008 Express database

    I have problems connecting using MRS 5. The user ID is good, I can connect to the instance with her, but the VRM device cannot see the database.  The error I get is "error boot configuration application. Please check the information provided by DB. I find nothing in the SQL or standard windows journals.

    SQL Express is supported for VRMS? We really do not want to deploy a complete SQL database in our environent DR.

    Did you create the DB yourself? You should check the connection information and permissions. There is a list of the explicit permissions that you should give the login in the VRMS installation guide, or you can be lazy and just do a sysadmin (not recommended for a production environment.) Was it an instance of SQLExpress by default? Do you use FULL domain name or IP to connect?
