• vCenter on vOrchestrator on SQL 2005 and SQL 2008?

  I was reading the support for vCenter and vOrchestrator matrix and was surprised to see that vCenter is fully supported on SQL 2008 but vOrchestrator is only supported on SQL 2005. As we all migrate to SQL 2008, we want to install as many vSPhere on SQL 2008 as possible. Is - it possible/decision-making supported to install vSphere on SQL 2008 and then separately install vOrchestrator on SQL 2005? Installing vCenter it seems to me that if both components have been installed at the same time, but maybe it was because I was in a lab environment and went with the built-in SQL Express.

  Any word on what vOrchestrator will support SQL 2008? I really don't like VMware may not have common requirements for all their products. I know that vOrchestorator was an acquisition, but still... come on people! Life is complicated enough.

  vCenter and Orchestrator use their own databases, you can install vCenter on SQL 2008 and Orchestrator 2005 without problem.

• vCenter and SQL 2005 Express on the same physical machine

  I'm new on the VMware environment and am a little concerned about my VMware infrastructure and design.  I have 3 boxes physical accommodation 15 virtual servers.  I have a 4th server that hosts the database SQL and vcenter.  I am wondering what are my chances of having vCenter and SQL 2005 express installed on the same box?  That suggest VMware as best practices concerning this configuration?  If this configuration is ok, what are my options to protect myself in case the box with vCenter and the SQL database dies?  Thank you

  VMware sets a limitation to 5 guests and 50 wen invited you use SQL Express. I run it with 6 guests and 48 guests (incl. models) on the same machine as the server vcenter. That's not what I want to keep and we will change to a standard SQL 2005 on a separate server from SQL (which we had with SQL 2000 and before VI3).

  But I didn't have one problem with this configuration, again.

  With both on the same server may lead to a conflict: SQL 2005 requires IIS but vCenter uses ports. So I installed it but disabled.

  I think also that separating the two tracks faster that have it all on the same box.

• Change Vcenter DSN 2005 SQL native client for SQL 2008 native client

  Hi all.

  I tried to upgrade our Vsphere for VM Windows 5.5 to Vsphere 6.0 for Windows (latest version of January).

  The upgrade checking failed after entering the credentials of user Vcenter. The error is 'unsupported database driver.

  In fact the DSN connection uses the SQL native client 2005.90.2047. Is also on the system SQL native client 10. (Version 2009.100.2500) is installed. I think it's the SQL 2008 R2 native client.

  The SQL Vcenter database is on a remote database SQL 2008 R2 server.

  I tried to change the DSN of SQL native client 10. The service started, but I've seen lots of SQL errors in the vpxd.log. I could solve only to return to the snapshot and restore the SQL database.

  How can I change the SQL Native client to connect DSN correctly?

  Thank you very much in advance?

  Edy

  Have you removed the old DSN entry and created a new using the driver of the new (and good)? And have you checked the registry if your change reflected here (\VMware Virtualcenter\DB HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VMware, Inc.)?

• Update VCenter 4.1u3 with builtin SQL 2005 Express v5.1?

  Hi people,

  Can someone please tell me if the upgrade path is supported without problem as possible for my script below:

  Existing: VCenter 4.1u3 installed as Windows Server 2008 64 bit standard VM with the database running in SQL SERVER 2005 Express (embedded).

  to be upgraded online to:

  Proposed: VCenter 5.1u1b installed as Windows Server 2008 64 bit standard VM with the database running in SQL SERVER 2005 Express (shipped).

  VCenter 5.1u1 comes with SQL Server 2008 Express or reuse it just the existing integrated DB?

  Because when I specify using products VMware interoperability Matrices it displays all the comments in the table.

  Hello

  You can upgrade vCenter server 4.1Update03 to 5.1Update01a, and it keep MSSQL2005 express Embedded DB and data in it. VCenter server upgrade with no problems found. I think that the product of VMware interoperability matrix titles only to distance/Custom not Database not the fact embedded database part of the vCenter server installation.

  If this isn't a supported database, upgrade to vCenter server would have failed to be upgraded with the inconsistent database or considering implementing in custody.

  During the upgrade to vCenter server 5.1Update01a, it asks you to install Single Sign and the inventory service.

• vCenter 4.1 on SQL 2005 express upgrade to vc5

  Hello

  Am looking for first upgrade our environment for vsphere 5... first step is to vcenter.  I've read a lot of threads on this topic... but each looks different... Some say to database backup and uninstall it all... others suggest upgrading the database to 2008 r2 first, etc.

  VSphere 5 has been out for several months, this is a generally accepted approach for upgrading to vcenter 4.1 to 5 located on 2005 express?

  My configuration:
  -vcenter installed on 64-bit Windows 2008 R2

  -The 32 bit SQL 2005 express database

  -You are looking at using SQL 2008 R2 express as database

  -Looking at on place upgraded on the same server 64-bit currently in

  All advice appreciated.

  ilyo - I just made this update even 2 weeks ago.  See the process I followed here:

• Local SQL database migration from Vcenter 5 to a SQL cluster

  Hello

  I'm trying to migrate my real installation vcenter 5 with a sql local database to a SQL clusster.

  This is manipulation that I do:

  -Stop services vcenter

  -Copy the mdf and ldf for the database files in my directory my SQL cluster

  -Change the ODBC connector to specify the path of the database news

  After this manipulation I try to restart services Vcenter and he pop up me an error.

  After somes tests I do an unistall of the vcenter instance.

  I have check the ODBC connector after unistall and it has been deleted.

  I create another with the pathof my database to my SQL cluster and I restart installing Vcenter 5

  When I check "use an existing database" and specify my recreate ODBC connector before.

  Installation works very well.

  After restarting my server vcenter server start without problems and work.

  I need to know if there is a possibility of just 'fix' the instance to specify the new database because uninstall the instance is a great action?

  Thanks for help you,

  Hello

  I have try this manipulation in the laboratory environment and this work as a result of this step:

  -Copy the files mdf and listening to your new location of the database database

  -Unistall Vcenter Server on your server

  -Remove the ODBC if not erased by installation

  -Create it again with the new location of the database

  -Restart installing Vcenter Server and specify "use an existing database" and refer to the ODBC connector create just before

  -To complete the installation and launch your Vcenter

  Attention I have try this experiment with a 5 Vcenter environment.

  I don't know if it works with 5.1

• 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.

• Migrate from VCenter 4 SQL Express to SQL 2005

  Hello

  I installed VC on SQL Express and you want to migrate the database to a separate server running SQL2005.  Does anyone have step by step instructions on how to do that?  I tried the folllowing, but it failed:

  1. install VC on serperate server and create the database on SQL 2005 - I did it for all the stored procedures would be copied

  2 Backup SQL Express

  3. 2nd stop install VC

  4. restore the backup from SQL Express to VCDB on SQL2005

  5 ensure the VCDB SQL2005 and MSDB peuvent vmuser as dbo

  6 vc origin stop server

  6. change the DSN to the original VC server to point to SQL2005 VCDB

  I used sql authentication and logs of the DSN on the VCDB SQL2005 very well, but when I run the VC Service, it fails to start with event ID 1000, which is a very generic message saying that windows does not have the information needed to display the details of the message.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

• The upgrade to vSphere + SQL Express to SQL 2005 + new vCenter Server

  Hello world

  It's the scénarion that I have today:

  A node just two HA/DRS cluster with vCenter 2.5 update 4 and two esx 3.5 update 4.

  The environment has increased enough to move from SQL Express to SQL 2005 standard. In the process, I want to upgrade the environment to vSphere and the vCenter move another box.

  I'm quite familiar with the process of vSphere upgrade but I donít know how to move the vCenter to another machine AND I do not know how to go from Express to the standard version of SQL in the process. (I have a SQL machine ready for use)

  I do not know how to handle all the changes here, I thought it would be nice to all move to the new machine and DB so that I could continue with the upgrade to vSphere, if this has meaning or not, I'm waiting for your ideas.

  I hope someone will give me some guidance on moving from SQL Express to SQL and how to move vCenter to another server (of course with a different server name and IP address)

  Thanks in advance for your support.

  I just did something very similar a few Sundays ago and it was really easy.  Refer to the section of the Upgrade Guide that talks about upgrading to vCenter on another Machine... (starts at p. 49).  We went from SQL 2003 32 bits on 32-bit Windows 2003 to SQL 2005 64-bit on Windows 2008 R2 64-bit.  Both are running as VMs - vCenter 2.5 is still there only as a license server - until I get all my hosts upgraded.

• Database of SQL 2005 with Site Recovery Manager

  Hello

  I want to install Site Recovery Manager.  I have a few questions about the configuration of database.  In my for the database installation steps

  I have the following:

  -

  ---

  For Microsoft SQL Server, the database must be configured as follows:

  1 schema name must be the same on behalf of the user, and you must have a default schema for the user account

  2 bulk insert of administrator privileges

  3. If Windows authentication is used, install the SRM service on a host that shares the same domain as the database server

  4. If SQL Server is installed locally, you may need to disable the network setting shared memory on the database server

  I have almost 0 experience with SQL 2005.

  How to make sure that the schema name must be the same as the user name? My username is "vcadmin".

  How can you "Bulk insert administrator privleges.

  Thank you all...

  I'm not an expert SQL 2005 is... DB2 is my thing ahead of VMware

  CREATE SCHEMA vcadmin

  AUTHORIZATION vcadmin.

  GO

  will create the scheme of vcadmin with vcadmin be the owner. In SQL Server 2005, each user will have a default schema, and if no default schema has been assigned to a user, they will be part of the DBO schema.

  the format for the granting of insertion block is:

  GRANT ADMINISTER BULK OPERATIONS TO VCADMIN

  You can also just do your username VCADMIN the owner of the database when you create the database.

  see you soon
