• Problem upgrade vCenter 5.0 to 5.1

  I did an update 5.1 on a virtual machine running Vcenter 5.0. The SQL 2008 database resides on another virtual machine. It is a center of test data.

  I ran the auditor and it came back fine. VCenter and SSO installed on the same virtual machine.

  I installed base SSO. I ran the scripts before you create the database, and users. Installation went well without error.

  I've updated the Web Client, but did not check to see if my domain account still works as an administrator.

  I have improved the service of inventory without error.

  I upgraded Vcenter without errors.

  I have improved my VI Client to 5.1.

  I can not access the VI Client with Vcenter. I get an authentication error using my domain account. I tried the admin@System-Domain account. It is said that account is not allowed.

  I can connect via the Web client using the admin@System-Domain account. I can't connect in the Web Client with my domain account.

  While in the Web Client, she said that the inventory is empty. I don't see any of my hosts or VMs in my test data center.

• Upgrade to ESXi 5.0 to 5.1 without upgrading vCenter?

  Hi everyone is my first post here.

  I wonder if I can pass my single host of 5.0 to 5.1 without upgrading vCenter? Basically, what I want to do is upgrade to 5.1 so I can install Windows Server 2012 and trial it. Can I just burn the ISO, boot, the upgrade and the contiune. I've updated the customer to 5.1 already.

  P.S. I read a ton of info on updates etc etc, but I just need the answer to this question.

  Thanks much for any help you can provide.

  Karl

  To add. I tested the upgrade process by installing ESXi 5 in a virtual machine and upgrade to 5.1, it worked. I'm just afraid to do it in my live set up.

  According to the matrix of the interoperability of products VMware, you cannot host with vCenter 5.0 5.1 ESXi, had you first upgrade the vCenter server. Another option is to upgrade your host to ESXi 5.0 Update 1, which also supports Windows 2012 as a guest operating system.

• After upgrading vCenter 5.0 to 5.1 found stored procedure 'purge_stat1_proc '.

  Hi all.

  After upgrading vCenter 5.0 to 5.1 found this error in MS SQL 2008 R2 during the performance of work ""past day stats rollup ": "

  Message
  Executed as user: xx\yyyy. Stored procedure 'purge_stat1_proc' not found. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 2812).  The step failed.
  Thanks to VMware KB http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC & docType = kc & docTypeID = DT_KB_1_1 & externalId = 2033096
  and http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC & docType = kc & docTypeID = DT_KB_1_1 & externalId = 2006097 there is no stored procedure in vCenter 5.1 purge_stat1_proc installation but job day cumulative stats exist...
  Also there is not a SQL script for this procedure in the vCenter Server installation folder in C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\VirtualCenter Server\sql.
  Anyone have a suggestion? Maybe it's a bug?

  The answer lies in the same article that you are looking to:

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/documentLinkInt.do?micrositeID=&popup=true&LanguageID=&externalID=2033096

  The script of vCenter 5.1 to create this task (job_schedule1_mssql.sql) is supposed to create a job with a single step.  It seems that they have decided to remove the purge step and the rest of the procedure for her, but for some reason, that the work is not always updated and the stage of the procedure call (now missing).

  You can fix it by running the script job_schedule1_mssql.sql by the instructions in the article.

• Upgrading vCenter 4.0 32-bit to 64-bit vCenter 4.1

  Everyone...

  Upgrading vCenter vCenter 4.1 to 4.0u1. The current server running vCenter 4.0 u1 is just a Windows 2003 based VM.

  Databases supporting vCenter and Update Manager is installed on a physical Server SP3 to SQL 2005 64-bit.

  I want to plan and to implement the upgrade as follows:

  Remove the current vCenter domain and turned off.

  Turn on a new virtual machine running Windows 2008 64 bit and rename it as the old server vCenter.

  Add the new vCenter server to the domain

  Installing vCenter 4.1 on the new vCenter server and use the existing databases that support

  the old server vCenter.

  Use the Update Manager to upgrade vSphere 4.1 on each managed host computers.

  What possible questions could meet or must be aware, as I implement this

  upgrade process?

  During the installation process and it asks to use an existing database, will be installing

  just updated the database to process and store the configuration data of the server vCenter 4.0?

  Once the upgrade is complete for the new vCenter server.  I see the same configuration

  as I saw in the old server vCenter configuration?

  Looking forward to all the world the answers... Thanks in advance!

  I agree with Redbaron51.  I used the setting level guide and things worked perfectly.  There is a batch file that backs up the database and converts it to the new 64-bit server.  It was very easy and worked as advertised.

• Update the host ESX 4.1 before upgrading vCenter 4.0 to 4.1

  Someone sees a problem updating my 4.1 ESX hosts and leaving in the former vCenter 4 Update 1 cluster?  I have rebuilt a new server vCenter 4.1 but can't stop the virtual machines and ESX hosts in maintenance until tomorrow night mode.  I want to put the ESX host in maintenance mode, both in the old server vCenter and 4.1 update and move remove/add new vCenter tomorrow night.

  You can't manage a host ESXi4.1 with nothing less than vCenter4.1.  If your plan will not work.  You must first upgrade vCenter.

• How to run Windows Upgrade VCenter with little or no problem at all?

  Hello

  I have 24 x Servers VMware ESXi 5.1 update 1 on HP Blade servers managed by my VCenter VMware Windows virtual machine that is currently in version vCenter Server 5.1 patch 1 (build 1064983 2013-04-25) as follows:

  Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Standard - 1 x vCPU & 10 GB vRAM

  Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Standard Edition (64-bit) (SP2) - 10.0.4000.0

  My question is which of the Sub VCenter upgrade version is less stressful or no problem at all:

  VMware vCenter Server 5.1 Update 3 has and modules

  VMware vCenter Server 5.5 updated 2nd and modules

  
  

  Note: Since the VCenter and DB SQL are in one place, I model clonedto the exsiting running VCenter server for roll simple return by deploying model when you connect directly to ESXi where the model is running.
  

  
  

  Thanks in advance.

  Given that the process of updating U3 5.1 or 5.5 U2 is as the same, I strictly recommend you upgrade to version 5.5, in this way, you don't need to upgrade your vCenter again if you decide to upgrade your guests the time later.

• steps to upgrade vcenter 5.5 Update 2 b to update the 2nd

  Received a security notice that there is a JRE vulnerability and to solve this problem of VMware recommends upgrading to vcenter 5.5 update 2nd my 2B update.  I try to find a doc to follow and do not see anything other than the installation guide initial vcenter.  Everything the world had to update x 2 on the 2nd and is there any concern about?

  Begins to get the feeling that all the components must be re-installed-SSO, inventory, Web etc, I really hope this isn't the case.

  Any comment is welcome.

  Thank you

• 6 - DB Upgrade vCenter

  Hi all

  Intend to upgrade the vCenter 5.5 to 6.0 in a small development environment. Customer has a SQL 2012 separate server to contain the vCenter 6 DB. Here's what I did,

  1 backup and restored the 5.5 SQL 2008 express DB on the new SQL Server vCenter complete 2012. Backup and the restore was successful.

  2. has created the x 64 DSN by using the native client 11 and tested connectivity, that works perfectly.

  3. follow-up to the KB article: VMware KB: migrating the database from the SQL Express vCenter server to full SQL Server

  4 detached and attached the DB also.

  Now, when I install the new vCenter 6.0 and connecting to the DB SQL 2012 new throws below error, don't know what it's pointing to?

  

  ---------------------------

  VMware vCenter Server

  ---------------------------

  A version 5.x of the vCenter Server database has been detected. You can only upgrade the 5.x database by upgrading the vCenter Server connected to this database.

  ---------------------------

  Ok

  ---------------------------

  Thank you

  4. I will stop the service vCenter vcenter 5.5 DB Express local saved and restored on the full SQL 2012.

  5 has created an another VM Win2K12 R2 and tried installing vCenter 6.0 and point to the new DB, this is where the error comes like in the screenshot in the first post. System DSN is plug it in and test it properly.

  As suggested before me, you must first run the server vCenter Server, after that you have reconfigured the external database.

  What is happening right now:

  1. you run the installation program. It does not detect a vCenter Server on this virtual computer operation and it assumes you are doing a new installation.

  2. you point the DSN with 5.5 database and Setup lets you know that you cannot deploy a vCenter 6.0 with 5.5 database.

  Kind regards
