Patching vCenter when Using SQL Server Express

Hello

I have a few questions about the correction of vCenter and will use the installation of vCenter Server 4.0 Patch1 as my reference for these issues...

I use the tech note at http://www.badkey.com/DB/blogsphere.nsf/2/JWIE-7VDPKJ/ $File/PTech_note_vCenter_Server_4.0_Patch1.pdf the process document. This seems to be an official document from VMware, but I can't find anywhere on the VMware Web site. What is the correct process? It is on the VMware web site?

Backup of the database - the tech note above does not have reference to smaller facilities that run SQL Express. Are there specifications compared to this type of installation? If I upgrade, I think he should see the 'old' database immediately, correct? If I do not use the backup for a reason, is there traps to do this up to-and-operational?

Thank you

number1vspherefan.

If you point the existing of the current DB Server vCenter DSN, and then you perform the upgrade.

Otherwise, you perform a new installation or an upgrade of old data.

You can see the list of the DSN in your ODBC Manager.

  • SQL Server Express of 2014 will not remove registry entries when uninstalling

    Hello

    I am responsible for the routine installation of our products in our society. We used to install SQL Server 2008 Express with our facility. We also checked the registry entries to detect if the SQL Server 2008 Express to a specific instance has been installed. When we run the uninstall for our program, we have also uninstalled auf instance. If it was the only forum wihtin SQL Server SQL Server hole has been uninstalled. This works as expected.

    Now, we want to implement the 2014 of SQL Server Express. The installation is successful and everything is working properly. But when we uninstall SQL Server 2014 leaves a large number of entries in the registry. In particular, the entry for the version number:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\\Wow6432Node\\Microsoft\\Microsoft SQL Server\\120\\SQLServer2014\\CurrentVersion\Version

    This makes it difficult to detect if SQL Server 2014 is installed on the system, because SQL Server 2008 uninstall these entries when deleted as expected. OK I can check some folders and files, if they are available, but this does not seem the right way.

    Is this a bug, or are there reasons why the registry entries are not removed after uninstalling?

    Kind regards

    Error occurs when you use SQL Server 2012 assessment vs window detail of the object in window 7.  I use the window of the object but the detail of the objects window arrives and immediately SQL Server stops with the error below and then opens again.  I didn't find any help with this specific error is but suspect there is a problem between SLQ Server 2012 et.NET Framework 4.  Unfortunately, I do not know what it takes in this regard.

Can someone tell me what is the 'official' syntax, or how I would go about solving this problem? Thanks in advance.

    I get this error after 20 seconds: "network error IOException: Connection timed out: connect. I understand that this is usually caused by a bad port, user name or password.

    Fairly certain that most of the last part of this is incorrect since your instance information.

    If you connect to a server using what anyone, even remotely, as a true lan so if the server is not listening you will get an immediate connection error - saying something to the topic "connection refused." And if your creds user do not match you will get a different error.

    A timeout after 20 seconds means that the network request is not being served at all, by the other other end.

    And that suggests a firewall problem.

    A simple test is the following
    -Log in as the same user that the application is running as. If you are working on the app, it's you. Is there a sort of JEE or service/cron, then it is very likely that you.
    -Open a console window.
    -Use telnet to connect using EXACTLY the same hostname and port that you expect. An example

    Telnet 1433 WINSERVER

    If telnet is successful it will give you a white screen (or something similar). Failure will give an error.

    The above process verifies that your box and the credentials of the user of the process (no connection) can successfully access the db box. Until it works your java code is not.

    Common default for SQL Server ports 1433 and 1434. It can be configured to use anything else.

  • How to upgrade from Virtual Center 2.5 + SQL Server 2000 to vCenter 4.1 + SQL Server 2008 (R2)?

    I plan the upgrade of an existing VMware Infrastructure 3 (Virtual Center 2.5 + ESX 3.5) to vSphere 4.1, and I'm stuck in the Virtual Center Server upgrade and its back-end database.

    vSphere 4.1 is released only as a 64-bit software, so he needs a x 64 O.S.; This excludes an upgrade the existing server on-site.

    The plan is to install a new Server Windows Server 2008 R2 with SQL Server 2008 (or 2008 R2 if taken in charge), migrate the database and install 4.1 on the server vCenter.

    The question: How can I migrate the database?

    When you perform an upgrade of Virtual Center vCenter 4.0 on-site, the database is automatically upgraded; but this isn't the case when you install a new server.

    VMware provides a utility to clear the existing database and import it into a new server, but it works only for SQL Server Express (which according to VMware must not be used in medium/large production environments); If this is not an option.

    I am unable to find a support procedure to perform this migration.

    Can someone please help?

    Massimo,

    I just went through it and found it to be a little pain simply because I forgot to VMware document simplicity...

    You are right, the 'migration' tool does support SQL Server Express, I don't know why and niether are the two VMware Tech Support Agents I spoke with.

    To anyone reading this. NOTE If you perform the upgrade / migration SQL Server Express via the Migration tool you MUST check the registry DbServerType key FIRST! If it is set on Custom Migration tools will ignore simply stages of database! See this VMware KB article for more information:

    http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalID=1024380

    Yes, it is the States 'failure', what he does not say, it is that the Migration tool will be 'Silencieusement Skip' your database.

    End of Migration tools do call a standard SQL Server T - SQL backup command. YAY! You don't have to upgrade your existing 32-bit vCenter Server, do first just in case backup/snapshot, then run through the upgrade as if you were going to use the 32-bit version in production. This step will apply to any database schema change.

    Build your brilliant new 64-bit server, install all of the bits and then use SQL Server Management Studio to make a backup of SQL Server 32-bit database and then restore it on your new 64-bit server. NOTE: Make sure that all SQL and vCenter services are stopped before proceeding with the backup and restore of the measures.

    After the restoration of the SQL on your new server it reboot and everything will come back to life just as it is only now with all 64 bit!

    Hope this Helps!

  • Oracle 11.1-> SQL Server Express

    Hello

    I have an Oracle RAC 11.1, 2 nodes running under Linux Red Hat.

    This database needs to connect to a SQL Server Express Edition 2012 to query a simple table with standard fields (varchar, number, date).

    For security reasons, we want that the Oracle database initiates the connection.

    Reading the documentation and various posts on this forum, I understand that I must install the database for (free) ODBC bridge or a bridge of database for MS SQL Server (need a license!).

    I would choose the free one, but I'm just a little surprised that I have to install a huge soft (~ 550 MB) just to query a table.

    • First of all, someone confirm that it is the only solution to interrogate a heterogeneous database to Oracle?
    • Second, what is the maintenance effort for the gateway database? Is there a backup instance, or something else?
    • Finally, if I have to use, can I install Database Gateway 11.2 (or 12?) and connect my 11.1 RAC with any problem?

    Sometimes I wonder if I had instead to make an interface with the .csv files...

    Thank you for your help.

    Kind regards

    Yann

    Yann,

    automatically when you install the Oracle database software you will get Dg4ODBC installed (on platforms where it is available). For you 11.1 installation DG4ODBC running on Linux, it is installed by default - you can check your Oracle_home is a HS/admin directory, you have the compiled executable dg4odbc (you'll find it in $ORACLE_HOME/bin directory) or whn using $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch lsinventory-detail.

    When you do not want to install anything on your production Oracle server, then you can either install the gateway on the MS SQL Server machine and use the MS SQL Server ODBC driver delivered with your SQL Server installation, or you can also install it on any computer, where you find a driver suitable for SQL Server ODBC.

    Thus, for example, that you can also use another Linux machine, install the driver ODBC for MS SQL Server on this machine, then on the bridge. Now, you can connect with your database of Oracle running on the Linux cluster to connect to the gateway on the other Linux machine. Then the gateway that will load the ODBC driver and connect to SQL Server.

    The only restriction is that you must have a driver ODBC for MS SQl Server on the computer where you install DG4ODBC.

    Created a system DSN 64-bit and 32-bit vCenter server by using SQL Server Native Client 11.0 and exact same settings pointing to the database on a SQL Server 2012 box.  The 64-bit DSN connects very well and the 32-bit DSN fails to connect.  Can someone give some guidance as to what could be the problem?  I have never seen it before.  They are pointing to the same database and use the same local SQL account.

    I don't know why the first is considered non-valid, or why the fourth refuses connection. I forgot something?
