Move the database for VirtualCenter of SQL Express to SQL 2008 on another server

Hi all

First of all, I spent some time trying to figure how to move our current VirtualCenter database to our production (currently the DB is stored on the server using SQL Express real VirtualCenter) SQL server. Before any way suggests the obvious, I searched the VMware knowledge base and tried to follow the steps in the following KB:

http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 7960893

I have successfully completed the first 2 steps, but when I see the data source in the ODBC Administrator, I don't see anything (I have connected with each account who has already logged on to this server just in case). To work around this problem, I tried everything simply create a new DSN pointing to the new SQL Server. I even modified registry settings in order to force him to watch the new SQL Server. Despite this, I can not start the VirtualCenter service because it does not connect to the new database. When I reinstall the database local, everything is good.

I did much research on similar questions, but not once I saw someone mention that no data source was present. I don't know if this was due to an option selected during initial installation or anything else.

We are currently running version 4.0.0 vCenter. Any help would be amazing!

Thanks in advance

Is your operating system 64 bit or 32 bit - because it affects the DSN, you see:

To work around this problem, use the appropriate version of the ODBC Administrator tool. If you build and then run an application as a 32-bit application on a 64 bit system, you must create the ODBC data source using the ODBC Administrator in % windir%\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe. To indicate the type of DSN, you can add '_32' to the user 32-bit DSN and "_64" to the 64-bit DSN user.

  • Move the database to vCenter

  • Move the database as part of the Oracle 12 c upgrade files

    Hello

    I read the document upgrade Oracle for the database Oracle 12 c.

    http://docs.Oracle.com/CD/E16655_01/server.121/e17642/upgrade.htm#CHDJJJEE

    Here in DBUA, step 8 says that

    Move database files in the page, select an option:

    • Move database as part of the upgrade files
    • Move the quick recovery as part of the upgrade area

    I wonder why we never need to use this feature to move database files?

    I understand for FRA, it will define just the parameters DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST and DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST_SIZE parameters to initialize at the new location and size new startup of the new home of Oracle database. But why never use us animated here database files option?

    Thank you

    There is no requirement to move the database as part of the upgrade files. It is simply provided as an option

  • How to check the growth of the database for a database on ASM?

    Hello

    I have been using the following script to check the growth of the database (for DBs on file system):
    SELECT b.tsname tablespace_name ,
      MAX(b.used_size_mb) cur_used_size_mb ,
      ROUND(AVG(inc_used_size_mb),2)avg_increas_mb
    FROM
      (SELECT a.days,
        a.tsname ,
        used_size_mb ,
        used_size_mb - LAG (used_size_mb,1) OVER ( PARTITION BY a.tsname ORDER BY a.tsname,a.days) inc_used_size_mb
      FROM
        (SELECT TO_CHAR(sp.begin_interval_time,'MM-DD-YYYY') days ,
          ts.tsname ,
          MAX(ROUND((tsu.tablespace_usedsize* dt.block_size )/(1024*1024),2)) used_size_mb
        FROM dba_hist_tbspc_space_usage tsu ,

          days
        ) a
      ) b
    GROUP BY b.tsname
    ORDER BY b.tsname;
    And I think that he always gave me good results until I ran this script on a database (10.2.0.5) on ASM.

    Is it because the databases on the ASM are maintaied differently, OR do most proabbly there was no activity on this database in the last 7 days? I even ran this query for last 90/180 / day and it is me again after results:
    TABLESPACE_NAME                CUR_USED_SIZE_MB AVG_INCREAS_MB
    ------------------------------ ---------------- --------------
    SYSAUX                                   574.38            .36
    SYSTEM                                   514.69              0
    DATA                                    1593.25              0
    IDX                                         .06              0
    UNDOTBS1                                  69.06          -3.84
    USERS                                     96.13              0
    Thanks in advance!

    I have no reason to believe tablespaces under ASM are maintained differently, so the most likely explanation is the change in the activity of the DB.

    What is your AWR retention? The default value is 7 days, so if yours is set to the default value, and then by running the query for 90/180 days you would not give more information.

    If you want to get the output of your scripts, you may need to adjust the AWR retention and your tablespace SYSAUX respectively.

    If the DB is managed by Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM), you can make tablespace forecast based on the measurements taken by the OEM. I did a presentation on this (NYOUG, VirtaThon) just now:

  • Catch22, how to change the settings for VirtualCenter, running as a virtual machine

    I'm running as a virtual machine under ESX 3.5 VirtualCenter. I want to change the setting of this virtual machine, but of course, the only way to change many parameters of a virtual computer is to stop the guest OS. I just changed the type of NIC on all my virtual machines, except VirtualCenter, using this procedure:

    http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1007195

    I want to change the adapter for VirtualCenter to improve vmxnet as well. How to work around the Catch22 needing VC running to change virtual machines but requiring judgment VC to edit it?

    Laughing out loud

    Shut down the virtual computer. Open the VI Client and instead of the IP address / hostname of the VC Server enter the IP address / hostname of the ESX host. You must use an ESX account for it! If in doubt try then the VM VC is still under way.

    The mistake is not on EO_MSGOWNRID_VW, but this point of view is the last of the build. You need to check the load log file and search for the string "SQL error" or something similar that indicate which view is currently in an error state. After your exit, two views creation failed.

  • Move the database on its own server Vcenter 4

    My current Vcenter Server 4.0 has the Vcenter Server and database SQL 2005 on the same computer. My performance is EXTREMELY slow, as in there more than 15 minutes for the client to connect, Vsphere load inventory and discover plugins until I'm able to use it. Once loaded, clicking on the servers and things within the client is very slow. So I think that by moving the database of its own machine, it will increase the performance of the vcenter server. I was looking in the vcenter admin section, and I can't find a way to 'clear' to tell him to look for the database on a different server.

    Does anyone have any documentation on how to move the vcenter database to another server?

  • Link to database for MySQL with Oracle Express

    Hello Oracle Community,

    I made a post on this topic already in the section general, but here is the best place for my question. My goal is to access a mysql to oracle server. Some info about my system and what I've done so far:

    Windows Vista 64-bit
    Oracle Express 10.2

    -installed 32-bit DNS ODBC driver for the database mysql, tested and it succeeded, the name is CHANCE
    -created a new file in the folder admin/hs initLuck.ora, prameters are: HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = CHANCE HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = OFF
    -new section in the listener.ora: (SID_DESC = (SID_NAME = CHANCE) (ORACLE_HOME = C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server) (PROGRAM = hsodbc))
    -new section in my tnsnames.ora: CHANCE = (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = tcp) (HOST = GOGAPC01001)(PORT = 1521)) (CONNECT_DATA = (SID = CHANCE)) (HS = OK))
    -inexplicable the listener
    -Do a bit of luck, success of tnsping
    -created a link of database: CREATE DATABASE LINK LUCK24 CONNECT TO 'user' IDENTIFIED BY 'password' USING 'LUCK24 ';
    -tried to do a simple select statement: SELECT COUNT (*) FROM customers@LUCK;

    and there I get an error message:

    can anyone help?

    Ikrischer

    Ikrischer,
    On which platform do you have installed the drivers 32 bit and HSODBC? He was on a Windows 32-bit platform? It is not supported to run the 32-bit software on a Windows 64-bit platform.
    There were some problems with versions 10.2.0.3 and earlier that are similar to those you typo - problems with bigint and select count. These are laid down in the 10.2.0.4 group of patches, so you should apply to your ORACLE_HOME 10.2 directories and see if the problem still occurs.
    However, as already said HSODBC 10.2 is now desupported you need to find to install 11.1.0.6 DG4ODBC and then apply the 11.1.0.7 patch group which also solves the problem.
    If you have access to My Oracle Support then see this note.

    Select columns MySQL Bigint use HSODBC returns an incorrect value when you use ODBC MySQL Connector (Doc ID 401086.1)

  • Make the database for planning

    1 administration

    2 object browser

    3 SQL

    4. public services

    Now, I want to do a relational database for my planning application before going forward with the whole upward.

    How can I do like database link to it?

    Please advise!

    Hello

    Administration > manage users of the database > create >

    Enter the name of user and password

    CONNECT and RESOURCE must be checked, also check CREATE VIEW

    It is not advisable to give the DBA role for users.

    It is probably best if you create a user (schema) for each product, for example

    HSS
    EAS
    PLANSYS
    PLANAPP

    Replace planapp by the name you want for your planning application.

  • Move the database on the DSO from one server to the other in AIX

    Hello

    We have a project to move a Database (11.2.0.2) in ASM (stand-alone IM 11.2.0.4) in AIX. I followed the steps, but it failed.

    1. on the source server, I stop the database and removed the data DISKGROUP. I also took the diskgroup backup metadata before going down it.

    2 storage team has removed the mapping of the discs and they remapped to the new server. However, the names of disks have changed
    Note: There is no oracleasm and the drive string used is/dev/rhdisk *. The number of disk changed in the new server. However, we have renamed these discs.

    3 installed GI in silent mode with the "software only" option and then set up AP using roothas.pl.

    4. install Oracle database on the same level of patch from the source.

    5 ASM set up using a small new disc using ASMCA in silent mode.

    6. after the configuration of ASM, I don't see the Diskgroup database, but I see the drives as CANDIDATE disks.

    7. now, I restored the metadata from backup I took in the first step.

    8 Diskgroup appears and mounted. However, there is no data. All the data disappeared.

    Please can anyone suggest what I missed? Support for Oracle is not clear in its instructions.

    It's test database, so we could afford to lose the data. We cannot follow duplicate RMAN that our Production database is very large, and all backups are in bands. We also long downtime. Therefore, the only option we have is to physically move the LUNS.

    In my opinion, ASM has not read the header information of disk that LUNS are mapped before ASM is configured and consider them as CANDIDATE disks. Please specify.

    Thank you

    Vikas

    ASM devices that belong to a disk group contain the header special ASM data, that ASM uses to identify the disks. The path of unity or the name of the device as such is irrelevant. ASM must know the chain drive in order to locate the devices. I do not know what has been mapped or put in correspondence, but if the disks appear as candidate ASM disks, then information should have been erased in the process.

    Why not simply create a full database backup using RMAN and then restore and recover the database on the new server? Provided that the new server has the same software and ASM starts, this should be easy.

  • Tables of the database for users of Shared Services

    Hi all

    I'm discovering in the database tables, know when a user has been added as a group in Shared Services. This is for purposes of SOX. Can you let me know which database table, we need to check that we can get a timestamp date for added user?

    We use HFM 11.1.2.2 and Microsoft SQL server

    Thank you

    Steffi.

    Hey Steffi,

    I don't know any tables db HSS that contain this timestamp.  The CSS_GROUP_MEMBERS table lists groups/members, but no other information.  There are the timestamps for the CSS_USERS and CSS_GROUPS tables, but they show only when Aboriginal users/groups have been created and updated.

    The best way to record this information for your next audit would be to enable auditing of Shared Services.  To do this:

    • HSS > Administration > configure audit
    • Enable audit value
    • Select the items that you want to audit (Directory Management has elements such as 'Assign the user as a member of the group' and 'Remove user as a member of the group'
    • Restart the Services

    Thank you
