Question on the vCenter database works

I'm trying to find out what the vCenter database consists of making it grow. Also is there a good way to monitor growth, so you don't need more space if you are using SQL Express?

I deployed an OVA the other day and he watered vCenter because there was no room so he could do his thing. We were on SQL SERVER 2005 Express with the 4 GB limit and upgraded to SQL Express 2008 R2 with a limit of 10 GB to get going again. We do not want to do it again and I'm getting an idea of how the functions of data base and forcing it to fill up. We do not want to go with an external database at this point either.

Hello

Do you have a third party monitoring tool, which keep of querying data from the vCenter server. This can result in significant events. Also utility backup too can generate significant events to develop the database. .

  • Question about the Oracle database resource management

    Good evening
    I have a question about Oracle database Resource Management (DRM) for Oracle Database 10 g. I had an incident which, in a development/UAT environment (different instances, same box, don't ask), a developer wrote a wrong SQL statement that consumed 99% of the CPU. Currently, there is no limit of resources on two cases of db, and the developers don't want limits. However, my manager wants a method to prevent something like this does not happen. If I use the Oracle database resources management, create a consumer group (called "DevEnv") at 40% CPU usage, what will happen if a user of DevEnv runs a bad SQL statement that normally consumes 90% CPU again? Anyone would take a different approach? Thank you.

    Sincerely,

    If users in the case of "db_uat" use 60% CPU would be users who belongs to DevEnv pending 'db_test' cannot be used more than 40% CPU, so their queries become slower at their end? I would like to know if this behavior works the same in an environment of multiple instances. Thank you.

    Yes, because the available processor would be 40%, they use more, while.

    Hi all


    I have a problem on the public database link creation and I would be grateful if you could kindly give me a helping hand. I have the following connection settings in my

    ...
    DGPAPROD.WORLD =

    ...
    Having the above mentioned parameters, I can connect to this remote database directly in a SQL * more shell:
    $ sqlplus username/[email protected]
    It works pretty well and the connection is established without any problem.

    Now, what I want to do is to create a public database of this remote database link to avoid the user/connection of switch for the visualization of the
    the content of this database. I proceeded in line with the syntax indicated in the Oracle online documentation:

    http://download.Oracle.com/docs/CD/B28359_01/server.111/b28286/statements_5005.htm#SQLRF01205

    This is why I run the following to create a public database link
    CREATE PUBLIC DATABASE LINK SR001_dblink CONNECT TO user IDENTIFIED BY password USING 'DGPAPROD.WORLD';
    Apparently there is no error and the link is created successfully. However, it cannot resolve the remote host and every time I run this query
    (myenterprise is the name of a table in the remote database)
    SELECT *
    FROM myenterprise@SR001_dblink
    
    ERROR at line 1:

    What causes this problem?

    Hello

    I have to configure a database for an IBM product where is a requirement:

    My current database character is: WE8MSWIN1252. Change the current database character set is not an option, so I have to create a new db for this requirement.

    My question is:

    You can still use SQL Native Client, and it will be 32 or 64 bit.  If the host OS vCenter is not changed, there should be no reason the ODBC driver update, that I am aware of.

  • The upgrade to vCenter Server to vCenter Server 5.1 5.1 update 1 when the SQL database is remote and vCenter Server Heartbeat is installed

    Hi guys,.

    I'm in the middle of an upgrade to vSphere 5.1 5.1 vSphere update 1. I have vCenter protected by HB and SQL on a separate computer (also protected by HB) I also run Syslog, Update Manager and Proxy authentication on vCenter.

    I've successfully upgraded HB on all 4 nodes (2 x vCenter & 2 x SQL) and started the upgrade components on the secondary according to the •vCenter Server Heartbeat 6.5 server and vCenter Update 1 Installation on Windows Server 2008 when the secondary server is virtual (PDF) http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vcenter-server-heartbeat-65-u1-installation-windows-2008-virtual-guide.pdf

    I got to step 3.c

    3. change the primary/active server role:

    a launch of the vCenter Server Heartbeat wizard configure server and click the tab of the Machine to change the server role for the current server (primary) to the active State and click Finish.

    b using the Service Control Manager, start the Server Heartbeat of VMware vCenter service.

    c using the vCenter Server Heartbeat Console, check that all the status icons on the server: summary page are green indicating that the boot process is completed and protected from all the services are started.

    d using the Service Control Manager, stop the service Server Heartbeat of VMware vCenter.

    As the vCenter service does not start, I'm stuck at this point. As far as I'm concerned, the error is quite logical. I've updated vCenter using the secondary server, and then I'm trying to connect (according to the guide) with another version that breaks down.

    If I continue with the services stop and launch the installer SSO, it is trying to perform an uninstall!

    Did I miss something in this upgrade?

    Concerning


    Ciaran

    Hi guys, VMware have finally updated the documentation to reflect the right way forward: https://www.vmware.com/support/pubs/heartbeat_pubs.html U1 6.5 Select from the menu drop-down and you'll see the last date of update for each of the documentation is now 10/10/2013. The guide States now specifically to restore the vCenter database before proceeding with any other measure, this is copied below for convenience: "the upgrade of the main server of the upgrade process further guess upgrading the secondary server completed successfully. Procedure 1 before continuing the upgrade process, perform a restore of the database of vCenter Server, Single Sign-On database, VMware Update Manager database and SSL certificates that were backed up in step 4 on the secondary server. regards Ciaran

  • ESXi host running 6 VCSA disconnected from the vCenter

    Hi guys,.

    I have a weird problem with my vCenter build 6. Single cluster of ESXi hosts. Running VCSA 6.0 and 6.0 ESXI. Making a storage of the vCenter vMotion initially got stuck at 77% and the ESXi host running the disconnected from vCenter vCenter. But I can connect directly to the ESXi host with vsphere client and see the vCenter VM works perfectly well. If I try to manually connect host ESXi and vCenter, I get the error "Failed to contact the host specified") both are in the same subnet and VLAN. I can migrate to other virtual machines without problem. I even restarted the host and yet I am not able to connect to vCenter. The host connects to vCenter if I reboot vCenter, but after a few minutes, disconnects again (even if no task does run on this topic.) I have no HA or DRS enabled at this point that I build this new environment and only presented a single LUN as a store of test data to the cluster.

    Any ideas?

    OK, I think I fixed that or have at least a work around. So the underlying question was hiding ID mode/CPU EVC. I'm under the cluster to a level of EVC to reduce until I have migrate workloads from old environment and I think that this created a problem for the unit vCenter. To resolve this problem, I turned off the unit, directly connected to the ESXi host that had the camera running, edited the virtual machine and reset the masking of CPUID. Also, I've hidden the flag NX/XD of the guest. It's temporary (I hope) as once I increase the EVC to the Haswell, I will expose the NX/XD comments and test. For the moment, it is of the workaround I did. It may be of some use to someone.

  • Request for information on the BAM database

    Hello

    I have a few questions about the BAM database:

    1. when the entry is created in the BAM database, it's always an "Add" operation or it can be 'Update' operation also? (A new record is entered each time or sometimes old records are updated?).
    2. What is the difference between rucheDans, origActivityIn and waitActivityIn columns of the BAM_WORKLOAD table? Can someone provide a simple example to make a difference?

    Thanks in advance!

    Jean René

    1. the BAM database receives no updates and inserts. New lines are added when occur snapshots. The inside of the engine there is a setting (usually 24 hours) to the BAM database where the outdated information (lines) are removed from the database.

    2. the "rucheDans" represents the instance number of the current instance in the process.

    The "origActivityIn" column is almost always '1 '. When he is not this, then it means that the work item instance is sitting inside a subflow activity. The number in this column represents the instance number for the work item instance inside the begotten child sub-process.

    Similarly, the "waitActivityIn" is almost always '1 '. I have never seen that everything except "1". It is not documented anywhere I know, but I think that this instance of the child process respresents who number a Message wait activity waits for a notification. This can happen when a child process is created in a parent process asynchrously using process creation activity. The child can then in turn send a notification to the parent using an activity to send the Message.

  • placement of vCenter database

    Scenario: SRV1 is a virtual machine that has installed vcenter.  The vCenter database (SQL) is on VM SRV2.  Now I want to get SRV2, do little maintenance, change the configuration of the VM, etc..  Is it possible if the SQL database is offline?  A cluster or something similar would be necessary in this case?

    If stop you the SRV2 for maintenance the vCenter isn't available, but you can still connect directly to the ESXi host where SRV2 and make the virtual machine configuration changes... The SRV2 vmx10 hardware version, you should can the vSphere Client 5.5 02 update to be able to change the settings for the virtual machine.

  • vCenter database operations?

    VCops5 requires its own database outside the vCenter database? Ive went through the documentation and it looks like a must be configured. However, I saw install messages/videos where no configuration database is performed. I just assumed it simply collected vCenter DB information and doesn't have its own.

    Please correct me if Im wrong (most likely).

    Thank you all!

    Joe

    vCops uses a separate DB (FSDB). This DB is already set up when you install the version of vCops TIME. If you install the stand alone vCops, you need to configure a SQL or Oracle back-end server. Please see the Installation and Configuration Guide for more information.

    import flash.net.URLLoader;

    import flash.net.URLRequest;

    import flash.events.Event;

    import flash.text.TextField;

    import flash.text. *;

    import flash.utils.Timer;

    import flash.events.TimerEvent;

    var RSSLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

    var RSSURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest ("http://sports.yahoo.com/soccer//rss.xml");

    RSSLoader.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, RSSLoaded);

    RSSLoader.load (RSSURL);

    var RSSXML:XML = new XML();

    RSSXML.ignoreWhitespace = true;

    var title: TextField;

    var desc:TextField;

    var allText:TextField;

    title = new TextField();

    allText = new TextField();

    var i: int;

    function RSSLoaded(e:Event):void {}

    trace ("xml load file here");

    RSSXML = XML (RSSLoader.data);

    for {(var selectedItems:String in RSSXML.channel.item)

    title. Text = (RSSXML.channel.item [selectedItems] .title + "/");

    title.wordWrap = true;

    tfLog.text += title.text;

    tfLog.wordWrap = true;

    trace (title. (Text);

    }

    }

    var t:Timer = new Timer (200);

    t.addEventListener)

    TimerEvent.TIMER,

    function(EV:TimerEvent): void

    {

    tfLog.text tfLog.text.substr = (1) + tfLog.text.charAt (0);

    }

    );

    t.Start ();

    var picTimer:Timer = new Timer (2000);

    picTimer.start ();

    picTimer.addEventListener (TimerEvent.TIMER, timehandler);

    function timehandler(event:TimerEvent):void {}

    setChildIndex (getChildAt (7), 0);

    }

    A way around that is to have a PHP file on your server that reads the XML feed and your swf reads the data from the PHP file rather than directly from the external domain.
