• 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.

• The upgrade to vsphere 4 essentials for vsphere 4.1 essentials more with 2 servers?

  I currently have a Dell 2950 III with processors x 5460 double hearts running vsphere 4 essentials and I am looking at upgrading on two servers with vsphere 4 essentials more with vmotion. How do I know if I can continue to use my existing 2950 and add a Dell R610 with two hexagonal x 5680 core processors? I want to be able to run most of my guests on the new R610 but power move them back to the 2950 (which could be changed during the upgrade) and if necessary R610.

  Thank you.

  The only concern, you'll need to know is the processors for R710, R610, and PE 2950. You must ensure that enhanced Vmotion is supported for these inorder to three servers for vmotion (live migration) seamlessly.

  I know R610 and R710 works, but I'm not sure what that generate a PE2950 you are referring. You can see the matrix here. http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalID=1003212 an another prereq is that all of these VMs must be in the shared storage and the shared storage is presented to all these 3 hosts.

• checks before the upgrade to vSphere

  Hi all

  my whish is upgraded to esx 3.5 hosts I already to vSphere.

  I checked HCL and it seemed to be possible, but, not being only not sure about x 64 CPU tried to build 1 x 64-bit OS on each host and I received a message that it was not possible.

  So I guess I can't upgrade to vSphere.

  Am I wrong? or I can do other than buying other servers...

  I am running DL380 G5 and DELL poweredge 6850

  THX in advance,

  Daniele

  Daniele,

  It looks like there DELL shipped this server with several different processors.

  The only supported are those listed in the VMware HCL for DELL PowerEdge 6850

  It goes the same for HP DL380 G5

• 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.

• Can I install the upgrade to win 8 as a dual boot with Windows 7?

  I bought and downloaded but not installed upgrading Windows 8 Pro, I'm currently under Win 7 64. The upgrade wizard Win gave the choice to install now, install by creating media or install at a later time from your desktop.  I chose the latter, and the Windows Installer shortcut is now on the desktop. I have learned since that a dual-boot Win 8 cannot happen if installed by Windows.

  This upgrade version allows you to dual boot? (I have a few apps that apparently do not run in Win 8)

  It can dualboot (as long as you create the DVD drive with the installation files. But to install the Windows 8 Pro upgrade, the score should have a previous version of qualification of Windows (XP, Vista or Windows 7). The version recommended if you want to dualboot is the full OEM version:

  Buy a full version of Windows 8

  If you want to build your own PC and install Windows 8, Windows 8 Pro or an additional operating system running in a virtual machine or a separate partition (including a Mac), you can buy Windows 8 or Windows 8 Pro System Builder (OEM versions). If available in your country or region, Windows 8 and Windows 8 Pro System Builder products can be purchased at participating stores, you will need to ask a the sales representative for more information. This version does not support the customer.

  There is no full retail version of Windows 8. If you need a full version, you will need to purchase the Pro OEM Windows 8 of new eggs. To do this, install an own custom.

• Questions about the upgrade to vSphere Essentials

  My group is looking to upgrade our ESXi (free) installation to vSphere Essentials. Before do us, I have a few questions (I tried calling & commercial VMWare email, but no one seems to be there):

  1. We have an existing ESXi to install, and we'll add a 2nd machine to host VMs can I use vCenter (from Essentials) to manage two computers?

  2. Requirements for vCenter status she has 2 CPUs, 4 GB of memory and 3 GB of disk space for up to 50 guests. However, we have 2 guests and we add a 3rd host is far in the future (in years). Can we run vCenter on an existing installation of windows server 2003? We have a server that meets these requirements, but it also makes other tasks (some calculations, files and backup service). Given these lighter constraints, will that be enough to manage our two hosts?

  Memory is a problem I think. But my vCenter with 9 guests and 150 VM a average 2-5% CPU load with 1 quad Xeon, so don't worry is not the CPU.

  Local Oracle DB installed on the machine of vCenter.

• After the upgrade to vSphere error "TSC: 3197488: 461: the Execute Disable / No Execute CPU feature is not enabled for this machine ' is displayed

  I looked for the community and I found someone else found a solution that I can't use because my bios level is the most recent:

• ESX 3.5 licenses during the upgrade to vSphere

  Hello all I hope someone can help me with a question of license.

  Is there a way I can tell when my host ESX 3.5 license expires without a license server?

  Can I take one of my vCenter 4.0 licenses and create the ESX 3.5 license file?

  Or do I have to rebuild a license server to connect my ESX 3.5 hosts to? Is this really a machine virtual?

  If it's important, I hope that all of my hosts built on ESXi 4.0 before the end of July.

  Thanks for the help,

  You have a period of 14 days in which to run without a license server.  After 14 days (power on VMs) features become unavailable.  My recommendations:

  1. determine what day the license server was decommissioned.

  2 see/var/log/vmkernel, logs files on the ESX servers to identify the first message about available license server.

  3 project 14 days from the date of license server is deleted.

  If you decide to try to beat the clock, doing nothing.  If you decide to license flex server backup steps below:

  4 Alter the DNS name of the license server (ESX 3.5 servers point to licenses) to your new Server 4.0 vCenter.

  5. install the flex on your server vCenter 4.0 License Manager.

  6. make sure that ESX 3.5 servers are now allowed.

  7. remove the flex License Manager when the ESX 3.5 servers have disappeared.

• Can I use a key to upgrade Windows 7 32 - bit for the upgrade to Vista 64 - bit, 7 64-bit, with a 64-bit upgrade disc?

  It's a bit complicated, but I appreciate all help.

  I have the following:
  1. access to a genuine copy of Windows Vista 64-bit (regardless of the version I want) through IEEE Computer Society.
  2. a Windows 7 Professional 64-bit upgrade disc purchased through a program of student software in 2010. Shortly after using the disk and the key, the laptop I was using died due to hardware problems.
  3. a drive to upgrade Windows 7 Professional 32 - bit bought via the same pattern of student software, including an unused key.
  Student software system only allows users to buy a copy of each version, so I can't buy it simply another copy of the 64-bit version.
  I wonder if it is possible to use the key of the 32-bit version with the version 64-bit upgrade disk to upgrade a 64 bit Windows Vista installation to Windows 7? If this is not the case, unfortunately, I'll be stuck with Vista.

  Windows 7 Professional 32 bit product key will attempt to activate the Windows 7 Professional 64 bit installation. The only condition, in this case, is that the (Professional) edition is the same.

• The upgrade to Acrobat 9 Pro for 10 equalivent with Pitstop plugin

  We are upgrading to Acrobat 9 Pro 10 Pro (or equalivent). We have the Pitstop Pro plugin, and I have a LOT of action with graphics lists. What do I need to back up, and are there any questions that I need to know? We also have the AutoBookmark Professional plug. Are there problems with it?

  Sounds like a question for people of Pitstop, not to Adobe. I have no idea about the compatibility of their products with Acrobat, that some of us can use Pitstop and be aware.

• After the upgrade to CS5 Audio is not import / load with video in avi format

  1. I've updated since Ppro CS3 to CS5 purchased in the Adobe store.
  2. I opened a project created in CS3 to CS5 and followed by the prompt to save it in a new project.
  3. All securities, modifications, etc. were intact and a given sequence played re-rendering etc as expected.
  4. I created a new project, any one of the same avi files used in step 2. Yet once again, everything worked properly
  5. I ran the Update menu in Agency assistance to 5.0.3. I ran this process two different times.  The first time, I selected all the updates.  The second time, I only updated itself.  I did a system restore in the meantime, the following results were identical in the two situations.

It's funny...

I think my last question is what is the preset edition cs5 optimal for MOV files that I have?

If this is the film that will change you, the simple solution is just one of the clips slide the button new item at the bottom of the Panel project; It's one that looks like a chipped sheet. This will create create a new sequence corresponding to your images settings as closely as possible.

In General, however, is not really an "optimal" preset for any data type of sequences. Premiere Pro is quite flexible, you can use images of any kind in any kind of sequence you want or need. Certainly, in most applications, you want things like the size of the image, pixel format and cadence to match your images, but it not always necessary or even desired. I often work in sequences that are almost completely different from my source footage - it really depends on your personal preferences to work and your desired output. For example, I often work with assets of 1080i/p, but need to output to SD output. in this case, I don't even bother with an HD sequence preset.

How's this for the decarceration

Anyway, I'm glad you're on the way to resolution. Here he didn't cost a C-note, more!

• "No connection to the server of VR: does not not." after upgrade to vSphere 5.5

  As part of the upgrade to vSphere 5.1 to 5.5 along http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2057795 I've updated vSphere replication to 5.5.0.0 build 1309877. All rehearsals continued well then. I only add the new vCenter replication and it stopped for the old.

  After the migration of all VM including device just RV improved another 5.5 ESXi host I upgraded from original host and migrated the back of some VM. I noticed that only this VM is replicated again then. All other zeroes had "no connection to the server VR: does not not." and "Violation of RPO" messages (including RVS). If I migrate the original replication host virtual computer is restored. If I migrate to another connection from host to the server of VR is lost again - no matter what a host running VR.

  Any idea, please?

  Yes, it's possible, but I just wanted to rule out any more simple explanations first. I was worried especially when you said the VR server could not ping itself, but perhaps I misinterpreted what you were saying.

  In all cases, you can verify if this is your problem by looking for a line like this in the esx.conf of the hosts that you upgraded:

  / NET/vmkernelnic/Child [0001] / tags/4 = 'true '.

  If so, remove the line in the esx.conf and restart the host. Then, once the host is back, check that the network adapter assigned to the vmkernel is an accessible IP address.

  In my view, that the part "child [0001]" may be different on certain configurations if you do not find the exact line I've specified above, check around the lines part of [another] child.

• The upgrade of Microsoft SQL SERVER 2005 Express

  I think I know the answer to that, but I need to confirm.  I have an environment vSphere 4.1 and am planning on the upgrade to vSphere 5.  When I installed vsphere 4.1, I used the Microsoft SQL SERVER 2005 Express database because I didn't have a license and my environment is low.  The question I have is that if I upgrade to vSphere 5 that comes with Microsoft SQl 2008 express edition installation will improve my SQL 2005 Express?

  Thanks for your help.

• Upgrading your vSphere 4 keys for vSphere 5 force update you immediately?

  We are on vSphere Essentials Plus in favour, and the licensing portal offers me the upgrade to vSphere 5.  I would get my keys locked, but I did not intend to upgrade immediately.  Update of key in the portal of licenses (but not immediately use them) turn off or otherwise disabled my existing installation of vSphere 4?

  Thanks for the tips!

  the upgrade of your keys just updates on the Licensing Portal.  This will not affect your production environment.  Your keys are set to never expire.  When you're ready to roll up to vSphere5, at this time, you can tell you key in your inventory of vSphere.
