SQL Server VM with vCenter database storage migration

• moving my SQL Server to another host (with vcenter database)

  Hi all

  I am in progress to improve my environment at ESX4.0. Now I have to move my only SQL server VM to the new host, who is already on ESX4.0 level. My only SQL server hosts the vCenter as database. I don't have a vMotion.

  To move my SQL vm, I need to turn it off and then migrate my ESX 4.0 host. The problem: when the SQL Server is disabled, I lose connectivity to the vCenter server and therefore cannot migrate the virtual computer to another host.

  Is there a way to fix this, or is my only option to move the virtual machine in question off vCenter SQL database?

  The physical files of the VM for SQL server on an iSCSI box and will not change the location of the data store.

  Thank you

  Open the browser of data store, right-click right the VM's vmx file and choose "add to the inventory.

• No VRM server registered with vCenter Server for the site 'Live '.

  I have SRM 6.1 and vSphere replication 6.1 installed on both sites.

  The ECP is connected to the vCenter server.

  I get this error message: failed to create the protection group. No VRM server registered with vCenter Server for the site 'Live '.

  Screenshot attached, no one knows what is happening here?

  

  However, there was a mismatch in the meantime server on all except VRA in the remote site, it is now resolved and the issue disappeared.

  Strange, how the error related to the site online, however.

  Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

• 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!

  Hello

  It is probably part of a larger battery error (if you can download the zipped file of complete log we can see if something is visible).

  This is a new installation or and upgrade or displacement of FMS? What version do you use?

  Have you tried to stop the foglight server, make sure that the DB is down too and then restart?

  There are articles describing errors as part of a larger pile of errors.

  This article KB https://support.quest.com/SolutionDetail.aspx?id=SOL64412 talks to ip in the hosts file is not wrong

  Other articles describing similar problems:

  There is an article describing a bug that has been fixed at https://support.quest.com/SolutionDetail.aspx?id=SOL63134

  Another speaks of a problem with the Storage Manager service https://support.quest.com/SolutionDetail.aspx?id=SOL73892

  With the attached log file we can see more information, I recommend also the opening of a case of pension because they can help solve the problem in a more interactive way.

• Limitations of SQL Express 2005 with vCenter linked mode servers

  
  Hello

  We have a problem at the moment whereby we have reached the limit of 4 GB of SQL Express 2005 and you want to move the database to a dedicated SQL Server. However, one of my colleagues advised he read somewhere that figures recommended for 5 guests and 50 guests for SQL Express are related vCenters signifcantly increased (he thinks a dozen times).

  Is anyone able to confirm/deny this and if confirming point me in the direction of the supporting documentation? I have searched, but am not able to find information reinforcing the above figures.

  Thank you

  Chris.

  Hello

  Recommend VMware SQL Express for small environment, the limit is 5 guests and 50 comments. If you have a linked vcenter environment, you will have a second database for this vcenter. So this vcenter will be able to have 5 guests and 50 comments too.

  But your first database will not increase the limit, you have always the same.

  You can get more information here: VMware KB: vCenter Server 5.0 installation best practices

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

  This is for vsphere 5 but the limitation is the same thing on v4.

• SQL Server Permissions to vCenter

  Hello

  I plan on installing vCenter using a database of SQL Server 2008 (dedicated server). I intend to use Windows authentication. I have created an AD account named vcenterdb and had my DBA assign db_owner and MSDB permissions. From what I understand it is required for installation only. My question is once I have installed vcenter, what this vcenterdb must have on the sql server database account permissions?

  Thank you

  Mike

  Yes, you can remove the owner dbo MSDB permissions... It is only necessary to create the rollup jobs.  However, you always have dbo on the VCDB

• the variable name of database query to SQL Server using the Oracle database link

  Hi all
  
  I have an ApEx 4.1 application running on x 64 (11.2.0.1) 11g on Windows Server 2008 x 64, and I have a few points of data integration with SQL (2005 and 2008) server that I need to create. I have configured the database with dg4odbc link and it works perfectly... I can run queries on the SQL Server database without any problem using the database link.
  
  However, there is a scenario where the SQL Server database name is dynamic, and I need to generate on the fly in a PL/SQL block and then use it in a query dynamic SQL (all this in the ApEx). It of wherever I meet problems... when I asked the default database that is based on the ODBC connection and I don't have to specify the name of the database, no problem. But when I need access to one of the several other databases by default, I received the error "invalid table.
  
  It works well:* (note that 'fv' is the name of my database link)
  
  v_query1: = "select 'Release Date' from dbo." Schedules@FV where dbo. Annexes. "" SchedID "=: calendar";
  EXECUTE IMMEDIATE v_query1 in rel_date using the grid.
  
  
  
  
  I then take this rel_date variable, convert a varchar2 (rel_date_char), then use it as the name of the database in the following query...
  
  
  _ It returns an error(error ORA-00903: invalid table name)

• ADF BC to SQL Server connection with variable set to View object

  Hello world
  
  I develop a BPM Application using Oracle BPM 11.1.1.5.0 and JDeveloper 11.1.1.5.0
  
  Following the thread of the link below, since it is a new topic, I decided to open a new thread.
  
  Re: ADF method call to extract data from DB before loading the page from the initiator
  
  what I try to do is to get a record from a database and show to the user on the initiator of the UI using ADF BC and not the database adapter.
  I have worked with ADF BC and display objects to get all the lines and show them to the user in a table.
  
  However, when I try to run the same query in the parameterized shape just return a single line, I hit a wall.
  In short, my problem is like this:
  
  I have an Application Module which has an entity object and a display object.
  My database is SQL Server 2008.
  When I try to create a new read only view object to return a single line I face the problem.
  The query that I have in the section my display object query is like this:
  

  select *
  from dbo.Employee
  where EmployeeCode= 99

  which works very well.
  However when I set a variable input_code, linking for example and change the query as follows it won't validate.
  

  select *
  from dbo.Employee
  where EmployeeCode= :input_code

  He just telling me
  >
  incorrect syntax near ': '.
  >
  I don't know if this has to do with my Oracle DB is not or I'm doing something wrong.
  Can someone help me with this you problem?
  
  Thanks in advance

  The problem is that you are using 'Oracle named' style for the binding of parameter in the SQL statement. However, this style of binding is specific Oracle. You must use "Positional JDBC" style of binding with MS SQL Server:

  select *
  from dbo.Employee
  where EmployeeCode= ?
  

  (The style of binding is specified in the query to the dialog box Definition VO Editor pane).

  If you specify the positional style of binding "JDBC", another field called 'Linking the Positions' will appear in the definitions pane variables bind VO. You will be able to specify it is the position of the particular parameter in the binding variable VO query bound to. (the position of the bond index is 0-based).

• Selecting a SQL Server 2005 with names of long columns (> 30 characters)

  Hello
  
  I was able to put in place a db Oracle 11.2.0.1 link to SQL Server 2005 using DG4ODBC.
  
  My problem is that some column names in Sql Server are more than 30 tanks and trying to select gives me the ORA-00972: identifier is a mistake too long.
  
  If I omit those select columns succeeds.
  I know that I can create a view in sql server and query it instead of the original table, but I was wondering if there is a way to overcome it with sql.
  
  My selection looks like this:

  select "good_column_name" from sometable@sqlserver_dblink -- this works
  select "good_column_name","very_long_column_name>30 chars" from sometable@sqlserver_dblink -- ORA-00972

  Thank you

  No there is no other way then using a view in SQl Server and select in the view rather than the table. The reason is that the Oracle database has a restriction that the column names must be 30 or fewer characters.

  I doubt that parallel processing will be used because it is unique to Oracle (using rowid varies in general) and not SQL-Server.

  is there any other method to do this and and fill the table in oracle db faster.

  Part of the performance overhead is to pull that data from SQL Server to Oracle in the whole of the liaison network between them. This can be accelerated by compressing the data first - and who then transfer them over the network.

  For example: using + bcp + to export the data in the SQL Server box to a CSV file, compress/zip file, scp/sftp file Oracle and then to unzip there. In parallel and direct treatment of load can now be done using SQL * Loader to load the CSV file into Oracle.

  If it is a basic Linux/Unix system, the process of decompression/unzip can be run in parallel with the SQL * process Loader by creating a pipe between the two – where the decompression process writes data uncompressed in the pipe and SQL * Loader reads and loads the data that is available through the pipe.

  Otherwise you are PQ own transformation. Assume that the data is date varies. You can create a procedure on Oracle that looks like this:
  {code}
  create or replace procedure as copyday (day) is
  Start
  Insert / * + append * / into local_tab select * from remote_tab@remotedb where col_day = day;
  -Add logging info, validation, etc.
  end;
  {code}

  You can now start 10 or more of these different days and run it in the background using DBMS_JOB.

• SQL Server or restore of database to a new domain

  The two areas are on the same network of flat, so they only connectivity via IP and Credential Manager etc. (no trust between them).

  People use ODBC connections and then use MS Access to databases (e.g. sales) created on the server of domain A, using authentication Windows (i.e. area a/c).

  The project is to move the database in area b. (all PC will move to domain B as well).

  1. I did a "Backup" sales and restored on server b, created local connections (database) and users and has made the ODBC DSN, but getting errors such as SQL State '28000' and a SQL Server error: 18452. [The connection comes from an untrusted domain...]

  I don't know I'm missing something. What should I do for the above work.
