  3. set up new DSN (SQL Native 11 for 2012 R2?) pointing to vCenter server

• 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 disk space

  Hello

  We have vcenter database (SQL 2005) on a computer separate virtual as the vcenter server. Vcenter database drive currently has 1.5 GB of available space.

  What is the best way to ensure that we are not running out of disk space on the unit containing the vcenter database?

  Thank you

  assuming that your DB is not on the system (c) partition, but rather on a separate data partition, you can use Windows diskpart to extend the volume without interruption to the BONE.

  Can we assume that the VM SQL has different HARD drives that are presented to each volume in the operating system?  If so, you can increase the size of the HARD drive in the vSphere Client, then run diskpart in the volume in the operating system.

  Also, see the bottom of discussion for some good advice on preserving the health of your VCDB

• 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?

  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

• SQL Express for vCenter Database

  Hi, I intend to establish a small 12 Ent more ESXi 5 host environment and would like to ask if there is no limitation of the accommodation of the vCenter on SQL Express on the vCenter Server database. Additional, also hosting the databases of Manager Update and SRM.

  Thank you

  Hello

  To use SQL Express have a limitation (4 GB Maximum size database):

  Notes:
  • Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Express is intended for small deployments of up to 5 servers and/or 50 virtual machines.

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&docTypeID=DT_KB_1_1&externalID=2003790

  If you must you use VUM and SRM, consider using another SQL. It's better.

  Requeriments VUM - http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&externalId=2005084

• Can you have vCenter and your database server on different VLAN?

  According to the title, can you have vCenter and your database server on different VLANS or must they reside on the same?

  Also if we want to change the current IP Address/Subnet Mask vCenter, are there factors that we take into account?

  Thanks in advance for any help

  Yes they can, so you must only be sure to have enough bandwidth network and speed between them will not affect the performance of VC.

  To change the IP of vCenter, keep an eye on this: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1001493

• Copy of database SQL Developer - you can copy a database non-Oracle?

  
  I was hoping to use the database copy utility in Oracle SQL Developer 4.0.2.15 to copy data from a sybase database table in an oracle database table. I created both the Sybase and Oracle database connections, however only the Oracle connection is available in the 'Source' and 'Destination connection' lists drop-down in the copy database wizard. Is it possible to use this utility to copy a non-Oracle database, any advice would be much appreciated.

  Assuming that you don't have just to copy a single table (or just a handful of tables), 'copy Oracle"function should appear when you right click on your target table from the Tables node on the sybase connection.

  If you need to migrate tables more this can become tedious, but in this case probably consider using specially designed SQLDeveloper migration functions to migrate all drawings of third to Oracle databases (for this right click on the connection to sybase and choose "Migrate to Oracle").

• vCenter DB SQL migration problem...

  I am migrating the vCenter DB SQL to a dedicated SQL Server.

  He already uses SQL Server but on the VM as well as the installation of vCenter.

  Displacement of the DB and align the ODBC on the connection failed start service vCenter, so I decided to re - install from scratch.

  I did installing vCenter ODBC for the DB link and should be encouraged to use the existing database.

  There is no "happen so I had to go back."

  Any reason, why this did not happen for me?

• 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. .

• Performance history missing after the movement of vcenter database

  I recently moved our vcenter remote SQL database to a new server. The move of the SQL database process went well. After that I moved the database update the DSN on the server Vcenter, and the connection successfully tested.

  I thought everything was fine, until I tried to look through some performance stats and noticed that I had no story in history. I can see all the stats from before I moved the database and I can see real time statistics, but I do not see that anything recorded in day or week view since his arrival in the database. It's almost as if she's not writing the statistics in the database. I've attached a screenshot of what I see.

  Any ideas what could be causing this?

  A note, I moved the Express database from SQL 2005 to 2008 R2 SQL server. After setting on the new server, I changed the compatibility from 2005 to 2008. Not sure if this has something to do with it.

  Thanks for your suggestions

• 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.
