The upgrade to vSphere clean install of P2Ving old Vcenter

I searched the Forum, and I have not found any discussion on this topic... again.

I'm not so sure that this discussion should be in this forum or a forum for Vmware converter... But I would like to put these questions to you in any case.

Scenario:

We're on ESX 3.5u3 now, with 22 guests and 1 server (physical) vCenter. We have chosen the Installer Clean way for infrastructure. As well as create the new vCenter as a virtual machine on a stand-alone host ESXi 4 server.

Because we are running out of material, we will follow this course of action.

1 P2V current vCenter Server on a virtual machine, so that we can still vCenter features during the upgrade/rebuild process

2 rebuild the old Server vCenter as a host ESXi 4.

3. building the new vCenter Server 4 as a virtual machine with Win2k8R2 etc etc and create a new database as well

4. then rebuild each of our ESX 3.5u3 hosts 2 both as 4u1 ESX or any update is the most recent.

5. once all hosts are reconstructed as ESX 4 we will then turn off the old server vCenter 2.5 VM and reactors as well as the old database.

5. then, of course, we will convert VM material on each guest one by one.

That's what I understand as a fairly straightforward environmental own reconstruction.

The questions I have are pretty simple, but I want to get as much input as possible:

1 will be the Server P2V process freak out vCenter vCenter when we reboot as a virtual machine?

2. can I use Vmware on the server vCenter converter to convert to a virtual machine and is not a problem when restarting a virtual machine?

Your comments are much appreciated.

Thank you

Yes... just point vconverter of an ESX Server, provide the root password /, choose data store and go.

    I'm still on WMP 10 for a reason, and I wanted to connect my PC with 360 videos. I downloaded the update, but he told me to go get the Update Rollup 2 or something, so I tried to install it and he told me that I needed to go get the .NET framework 1.1 and .NET framework 1.1 SP1. I went to download them and install them, but he tells me that "the upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded is may be missing or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program".

  • 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.

  • Can I use my Windows 7 Edition recovery disks Home Premium for a clean install on my old Windows XP computer?

    Hello world!  I hope someone can help.

    Can I use my Windows 7 Edition recovery disks Home Premium for a clean install on my old Windows XP computer?

    If this is a recovery from a different computer disk, you are unable to do so.

    In addition, if you were to format the computer, you will need to have a way to reinstall a copy of Windows with a genuine license.

    The best option if you need Windows 7 Home Premium is to buy a genuine license then you can make a custom (new installation).

    Where can I still get Windows 7?

  • Satellite P500 - 01 G-install the Toshiba software after clean install

    Hi all

    I have a Toshiba P500 - 01 G (http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/products/computers/satellite/p500/pspgsa-01g003/overview) running the grouped Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. I bought an upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate, but can not use it, he just tells me to use Windows Anytime Upgrade.

    However, I can use it for a clean install and I intend, but I don't know what to do on the Toshiba Software (http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/computers/satellite/p500/pspgsa-01g003/download?os=25).
    I read on another thread that the software must be installed in a certain order and frankly I have no idea! I don't want to break something! I'm not to ask for the list accurate for each of them (except if you have time) but just a general guide as to what I should install in the order.

    Also, I guess that my recovery partition is erased in the process and I can't get it back. Is this true?

    Thank you very much. I really appreciate it,
    Abraham.

    Hello, Abraham

    I m the Satellite P500 owner too and it's really great machine, isn t it? I like it. My Toshiba best ever.
    My machine is preinstalled original Toshiba recovery image and it works without any problems so I put t want to change anything.

    Back to your question. I assume that you have a few reasons why you want to use the Ultimate version then you should try to clean OS install. Before you anything create recovery DVDs. Make two copies.
    After that make what you can do with your laptop all you used to because if you want to have the factory settings, again you can use created the recovery disc and install original recovery image.
    After recovery of registered OS image will help and you will not be able to start the installation of HARD drive recovery then please create restore DVD.

    Installing Win7? I have the European model, and I will send exact installation order list. There may be small differences compared to the model of the AU, but the principle remains the same.
    Here we go:

  • Activation of Windows 7 Upgrade Version after clean installing forced

    While the reconstruction of my computer, the hard disk on which Windows Vista was installed has failed and I was forced to do a clean install of Windows 7. I was in the process of upgrading to Windows 7 at the time, but I've owned a copy of Windows 7 upgrade and now the software doesn't recognize my product key for a clean install. Is there anyway that I can use my Windows Vista and Windows 7 product keys to activate my operating system?

    Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.

    When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

    Click on properties

    Scroll down to the Windows Activation

    Click the link x days before activation.

    Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.

    Enter the product key

    Click next

    Select the Activation of the phone

    Click Next when you enter your key page

    Select your country

    Click Next, call the number listed

    Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.

    Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

    They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it

    Click next to complete the activation.

    However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

    15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

    So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

    In any case, I have a 8 win upgrade key. So what I did is first install win 7 on my new SSD but the problem was, I couldn't activate win 7. The message was that this key was already in use (which could be true because my current SSD has been improved for this key).

    So I continued and installed win 8 hollow upgrade its Web site. Finally, when I try to activate I get this lovely error "0xc004c003 the activation server determined that the specified product key is blocked. I googled and the result was MS hates you. Now, I am very sad and don't know what I just loved and hated not being. I tried phone activation and other tips of register of google, but it wouldn't help.

    If I plug my old SSD I can see that windows 8 is enabled and works but I don't know how to get a clean install on my new SSD.

    Please stop hating me :'-(
