Migration vCenter database of the local instance to a remote server

Hello

My vCenter database is installed on the local server with the vCenter server.  When installing without DSN was created because the local database.  Now, I need to create a dedicated server to host the database but can't find where, in the current installation, I would like to change to vCenter point to the new location.

I read these KBs

KB.VMware.com/kb/7960893 - movement of the SQL Server to vCenter database
KB.VMware.com/kb/5850444 - migration vCenter Server on a different host machine
KB.VMware.com/kb/1003928 - troubleshooting the database data source used by the VirtualCenter Server

Problem is that (1) there is no DSN, (2) the registry key is not there either, and (3) I cannot find what to change in the vpxd.conf file

I am able to "migrate the database" and "can create a new dsn to point to the new location.

So, the question is where can I find the current configuration of the database\dsn.

I hope that's clear

Hi VMGenie,

The reason why it does not appear THAT DSN u is because your machine VC can be 64-bit and the vCenter uses 32-bit DSN settings.

Open the C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe folder for this exe... it should show u the DSN settings.

Please consider clicking correct or helpful if this information is useful.

    Hello, nareshunik-

    Thanks to the handy Get-VMHostService cmdlet, you can quite easily get this info:

    Get-VMHost | Get-VMHostService | ?{"TSM","TSM-SSH" -contains $_.Key -and $_.Running} | Select VMHost,Key,Running
    

    The result is something like:

    VMHost    Key      Running
    ------    ---      -------
    myHost01  TSM         True
    myHost02  TSM         True
    myHost05  TSM         True
    myHost05  TSM-SSH     True
    

    TSM is the local service of TSM or "ESXi Shell", and the TSM - SSH service is "SSH".  How does do for you?

  • Migration of the APEX data to the local instance

    Hello

    I want my data in all the tables in my schema exported from the apex.oracle.com app and imported to another local instance, on a regular basis.

  • Problems using the local test on a Mac server

    I defined a local test for my website server: connect you using Local/network; file server: / Users /... / FPPATesting /; Web URL: http://localhost/FPPATesting/; For model server: No.  The site is hosted on a server of InMotion.

    I see that my local server folder was automatically filled with site files, but there are many missing, although the index.shtml file is there. If I drag the index.shtml file in the test folder in the field URL of Safari, it shows pretty much as it should, except that my Include files were not loaded. the Include files are in the folder test, but they aren't repeated. I get the same result if I choose Preview in Safari. And in this case, the files are all taken from the test folder; If the test server seems to be recognized by Dreamweaver.

    Curiously, if in the test folder, I open the file index.shtml, in Dreamweaver, Live View in Dreamweaver displays a seemingly complete site - almost. It is not complete because there not all the image files for the site. But the Include files have been included.

    So my problem is from my test server. I thought that call for a preview in one of the browsers show me the full site. Would it because I chose a server model "None"? I didn't know what else to use, as I am not including any content database. What should I do now?

    This can help working with server-side includes in Dreamweaver.

  • Is faster than the local AIR IOS app remote SWF SWF because I can ' t use the unloading code.

    Are faster than the local SWF on AIR IOS app remote SWF because I can't use the code to unload on IOS of AIR.

    my local code:

    Stop();

    import flash.net.URLRequest;

    import flash.system.ApplicationDomain;

    import flash.system.LoaderContext;

    import flash.filesystem.File;

    import flash.filesystem.FileMode;

    import flash.filesystem.FileStream

    go_level_2.addEventListener (MouseEvent.Click, Level_2);

    function level_2(event:MouseEvent) {}

    var loader2:Loader = new Loader();

    var loaderContext2:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext (false, ApplicationDomain.currentDomain);

    var file2:File = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath ("level2.swf");

    loader2. Load (new URLRequest (file2.url), loaderContext2);

    addChild (loader2);

    }

    Because it works for me, because I can't unload the SWF app file en becomes slow, I'll put the SWf file "s on a remote location.

    But I can't imagine what is happening when I loaded the SWF file remotely. It remains on the server, or it remains on my application when I unloaded it, and the app gets also larger. I hope you can help me because I went on the internet for a week and do not now how to go further.

    I had a similar problem, but not on iOS.

    Maybe my solution might work for you too, however.

    The problem was this line:

    new LoaderContext (false, ApplicationDomain.currentDomain);

    Do not reuse the same field of application, or you will never be able to get rid definitions and thus the SWF loaded.

    Instead, make a new child application domain for the current domain, keep track of it and it has as well as the rest of the SWF file when you are finished.

    Example:

    var loader2:Loader = new Loader();

    var appDomain2:ApplicationDomain = new ApplicationDomain (ApplicationDomain.currentDomain);

    var loaderContext2:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext (false, appDomain2);

    var file2:File = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath ("level2.swf");

    loader2. Load (new URLRequest (file2.url), loaderContext2);

    addChild (loader2);

    Then

    function finishLevel2(event:Event):void

    {

    var loader2:Loader;

    loader2 = Event.Target.Loader;
    loader2.parent.removeChild (loader2);

    loader2.unloadAndStop ();

    appDomain2 = null;

    }

    Note that the definitions of the classes of the loaded SWF file will be available in the new application domain.

  • Multiple databases on the same Instance SQL vcenter

    I know that this is possible, my question is for the cumulative jobs created specfic (I think during the schema updates).

    I asked our DBA to create a vCenter Lab DB and a Lab DB update on our SQL2008 Server Manager using the scripts described in the ESX and vCenter Server Installation Guide (I'll use new unique Lab DB names and Lab DB SQL users). This SQL server instance already has a production DB, and DB Manager production update vCenter.

    My question is what is happening with the schema updates when I leave the installation of the laboratory to the schema updates.

    1. I should do something before installing vCenter to avoid potential conflicts on the side DB?
    2. Will be the schema updates are trying to recreate the jobs of rollup and fail, breaking existing jobs, or something else?


    I'm looking for good practices so that when I install the lab, the environment of existing production DB (including rollup jobs) are not affected and cumulative Lab new jobs are created to function properly.

    I'm not a DBA, so if I'm far away feel free to correct me.

    The installation creates the names.

    If your goal is to get an environment APEX upward and running for purposes of personal training, then simply use the proposed default values.

    The directory of the virtual image is configured by the installation process.
