upgrade to SQL 2008 R2 SP2 to SP3

Hi all

We have vCenter 5.5 with 3B update on 2008 R2 SP1.

We will upgrade MSSQL 2008 R2 SP2 to SP3 on vCenter Server. can you please help me understand if we go ahead with the upgrade or precautions should be taken?

Kind regards

SK

You can go forward because it's on the compatibility matrix, see: VMware product interoperability Matrices

But, don't forget not to take a backup of your SQL databases and if current running on the virtual machine, take a snapshot of the virtual machine.

  • Windows XP need to upgrade to SP2 or SP3

    Hello

    I have Windows XP SP1.  I need to upgrade to SP2 or SP3.   There are free downloads online.  can I use them? or should I buy from you?  Please me know

    Thanks in advance

    You don't need to buy anything. If you check in Windows updates, service packs must be put at your disposal. (Unless it's an illegal copy of XP).

    If you installed SP1a, you can ignore the SP2 and go right to SP3. If SP1 is installed, to install the SP2 and SP3.

    Before you install, disable your antivirus and anti-spyware such as Windows Defender programs. If you are using another firewall, disable and enable Windows Firewall in the control panel for the installation. Once a requires SP3 and working, you can activate the third-party firewall and put the Windows Firewall. Do not keep the two running.

  • Update for Windows XP (KB2964358), upgrade of service SP2 to SP3?

    I went on the website and tried to download the KB2964358 update), wouldn't DOWNLOAD says I need service pack 3. Where can I go to upgrade (download) service SP2 to SP3?

    I have Windows XP Home Edition Version 5.1 Service Pack 2 Internet Explorer 6.

    Last Friday, I got a virus and did a non-destructive recovery from my system. Before that, I had IE 7, anyway to extract the files from my PC?

    Hello

    The problem with viruses on the computer, I would say that you download and run a full scan of the system using the Microsoft Safety Scanner.

    Here is the link for the Microsoft Safety Scanner which is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

    Note:

    Data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely.
    which means that there is a risk of data loss.

    To download and install Windows XP SP3 see the link provided below.

  • After an edition upgrade to SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard, vSphere cannot communicate with the VIM_VCDB database

    My vCenter environment is 5.0 and has been initially implemented using SQL Server 2008 R2 Express as the database.  We have reached the limit of size of 10 GB for the Express version, so I want to upgrade the database 2008 R2 express 2008 R2 standard.

    Before the upgrade, I stopped the vCenter Server service before you start the SQL Server Setup program.  I did an "Upgrade Edition", to consider express standard.  It ends successfully with 2 minutes, and then I went and restarted the server vCenter service.

    However, after restarting the service, vSphere is unable to communicate with the VIM_VCDB.  For example, in vSphere if I click a virtual machine and click the performance tab, it tells me that it's impossible to view the web page.  It seems to be unable to communicate with the VIM_VCDB.  I have not changed all database names, or the ODBC settings, so not sure what is causing the problem.

    If I go to ODBC data sources administrator and test the Data Source, the test completes successfully.

    I have read all the documentation I could find and tried a few different things, but not found something that solves this problem.  I ended up having to go back to the snapshot backup, I took before the upgrade of the database edition.

    Anyone have any ideas on what the issue might be, or what should I do to solve it?

    Shane

    The database is probably fine.

  • Tecra A9 move from Win XP SP2 to SP3 - questions?

    Anyone have trouble with their Tecra A9 when upgrading to Windows XP SP2 to SP3? I've heard horror stories with other laptops that users lock their systems or lose functionality.

    Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences.

    Hello

    I m not Tecra A9 owner but I already installed the SP3 Win and I didn't notice any strange problems after installing SP3.
    Of course, it might be possible that some drivers would not fully compatible with some fixes and patches but it seems that I m a lucky guy and there is nothing wrong with my operating system.

    But to be honest; I didn't notice any improvement after the installation of Sp3.
    However, you can install Sp3 on your system and if you have great compatibility problems you'd still be able to remove the SP3 of the system.

  • Do I need to install SP2 before SP3? If Yes, where can I find the Microsoft of SP2 version?

    I had to re - install Windows XP SP1a, from a CD of resettlement came with my Dell laptop. This was done because I upgraded the hard drive. This facility went well. I went to the Windows Update site to try to get the SP2 and SP3. The webiste is said to SP2 until you can do SP3. The only version of SP2, I find on the website says that it is for the professionals and see the link for the Service Pack to the simple version. When I go on this link there is no one version. Do I need to install SP2 before SP3? If Yes, where can I find the Microsoft of SP2 version? In addition, the site says that automatic updates SP2 but I checked my Configuration of the automatic updates and it will not take anything in. Is there a way to force the automatic update to run immediately? Thanks, Ben

    Ben,

    I totally agree with PML, you should be able to set up IE and then go to the Windows updates from there, once you get on the Windows Update site it will scan your system and implement critical updates and optional updates SP2 and SP3 should be on the list. It's a way to force an immediate update.

    I hope this helps.

  • Consistent degradation of privileges and functionality in Xp Sp2 to Sp3.

    My problem is I'm always losing administrative privileges, without apparent reason, on my Windows Xp Pro Sp2 to Sp3 upgrade facilities.  This occurs after the installation of updates after Sp3 installed on this version of Xp professional Sp2.  This has happened time and time again and becomes quite frustrating.

    -Is this problem occurs after the installation of updates every time?
    -You receive an error message when this problem occur?
    -When you mentioned that you lose Admin privileges, does this mean that you are unable to work with the programs or access to certain files/folders?

  • TMS SQL 2005 DB to SQL 2008

    Hello

    I have here a nice problem. We had a former TMS (v.13.1) Server installed to MS 2003 R2 with SQL 2005.

    The export of the DB has been problem free.

    Now, we need to upgrade the operating system to MS 2008 R2 64 bit. We had installed the TMS Version 13.1.2 with SQL 2008.

    How can I import the old DB for new MSDS?

  • 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.)?

    I mean, we have a problem after the upgrade? Application errors, incompatibility, etc...

    Thank you

    The virtual machine will not know that anything has been updated, but if you update the hardware version of the virtual machine update then there will be an operating system level changes. VMTools update necessary and the material presented.

    I did some updates from 5.5 to 6, including sites where SQL server is running and have not had any problems. Just make sure you test first and do you homework with the HCL, etc..

  • SQL 2008 sp1 support?

    Does anyone know if sp1 for SQL 2008 is still supported?

    I checked and don't see it listed in the compatibility matrix, but thought I'd ask just in case.

    Thank you.

    FYI ANY version of a database will be supported.  If she supports SQL 2008 ALL future updates SP1, SP2, etc... will be supported, if that's what you're asking... SQL 2008 is on the list but not SP1.

    If there are major changes, which would be 2010 SQL (or other).  Service Packs are supposed to be included.
