• vCenter database disk space

  Hello

  We have vcenter database (SQL 2005) on a computer separate virtual as the vcenter server. Vcenter database drive currently has 1.5 GB of available space.

  What is the best way to ensure that we are not running out of disk space on the unit containing the vcenter database?

  Thank you

  assuming that your DB is not on the system (c) partition, but rather on a separate data partition, you can use Windows diskpart to extend the volume without interruption to the BONE.

  Can we assume that the VM SQL has different HARD drives that are presented to each volume in the operating system?  If so, you can increase the size of the HARD drive in the vSphere Client, then run diskpart in the volume in the operating system.

  Also, see the bottom of discussion for some good advice on preserving the health of your VCDB

• 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

  Edy

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

• placement of vCenter database

  Scenario: SRV1 is a virtual machine that has installed vcenter.  The vCenter database (SQL) is on VM SRV2.  Now I want to get SRV2, do little maintenance, change the configuration of the VM, etc..  Is it possible if the SQL database is offline?  A cluster or something similar would be necessary in this case?

  If stop you the SRV2 for maintenance the vCenter isn't available, but you can still connect directly to the ESXi host where SRV2 and make the virtual machine configuration changes... The SRV2 vmx10 hardware version, you should can the vSphere Client 5.5 02 update to be able to change the settings for the virtual machine.

• Database operation failed when trying to edit the pool.

  I recently created a new pool of 3 related clones.  Everything was going well for a few days but now I get the "Failure of the operation of the databases" error message when you try to change the pool.  I can't remove the pool, the error message "unknown error View composer".    I am also unable to create a new Pool, the error message "internal error View Composer".

  What version do you use?

  Everything is green on the dashboard?

  Passwords expired on service accounts?

  The SQL Server is fully functional?

  Any change on the side of vCenter? Maybe someone renamed a folder or moved the VM:s?

• What informaion all get stored vCenter database?

  I'm looking at information stored in the database. As database to store information for ESX Cluster, resource POOL etc... or something else.

  Also if my database crashed then VC will not work. If I reinstall (not restore from backup) of the database what information I get when I connect to the CR.

  Welcome to the communities...

  As database to store information for ESX Cluster, resource POOL etc... or something else.

  vCenter database has all the information that never see you via vSphere Client, Datacenter, Cluter, VM, details vSwitch, vDS datastore, Performace etc...

  Check out the guide to find out what information is store in DB

  http://www.VMware.com/files/PDF/vc_dbviews_41.PDF

  Also if my database crashed then VC will not work. If I reinstall (not restore from backup) of the database what information I get when I connect to the CR.

  If not restore the backup and then his new vCenter similar facility and you will have to perform all the related configuration vCente and you will lose all the performance statistics

• vCenter database operations?

  VCops5 requires its own database outside the vCenter database? Ive went through the documentation and it looks like a must be configured. However, I saw install messages/videos where no configuration database is performed. I just assumed it simply collected vCenter DB information and doesn't have its own.

  Please correct me if Im wrong (most likely).

  Thank you all!

  Joe

  vCops uses a separate DB (FSDB). This DB is already set up when you install the version of vCops TIME. If you install the stand alone vCops, you need to configure a SQL or Oracle back-end server. Please see the Installation and Configuration Guide for more information.

• Migration vCenter database of the local instance to a remote server

  Hello

  My vCenter database is installed on the local server with the vCenter server.  When installing without DSN was created because the local database.  Now, I need to create a dedicated server to host the database but can't find where, in the current installation, I would like to change to vCenter point to the new location.

  I read these KBs

  KB.VMware.com/kb/7960893 - movement of the SQL Server to vCenter database
  KB.VMware.com/kb/5850444 - migration vCenter Server on a different host machine
  KB.VMware.com/kb/1003928 - troubleshooting the database data source used by the VirtualCenter Server

  Problem is that (1) there is no DSN, (2) the registry key is not there either, and (3) I cannot find what to change in the vpxd.conf file

  I am able to "migrate the database" and "can create a new dsn to point to the new location.

  So, the question is where can I find the current configuration of the database\dsn.

  I hope that's clear

  Hi VMGenie,

  The reason why it does not appear THAT DSN u is because your machine VC can be 64-bit and the vCenter uses 32-bit DSN settings.

  Open the C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe folder for this exe... it should show u the DSN settings.

  1 > I see in network-> network inventory, there is just 'VM network', I wanted to know is ths

  "the virtual machine network", a pipe which is combined of all servers in ESX4 5?

  2 > I wanted to take a backup of vCenter database, so if there is no mess I can restore it, how to do?

  Please guide.

  Thank you

  Hello

  1 > I can see in the inventory--> networking network, there is just 'VM network', I wanted to know is ths

  "the virtual machine network", a pipe which is combined of all servers in ESX4 5?

  Not at all. This means that you have on each host a vSwitch with a labeled portgroup VM network. There is also the concept of the distributed virtual switch IS a switch on all nodes.

  "pipes" are not really here.

  2 > I wanted to take a backup of vCenter database, so if there is no mess I can restore it, how to do?

  SQL, make a SQL backup then you can restore said backup if necessary. Standard SQL.

• When I stopped virtual machine she hang on to 95%.

  When I stopped virtual machine she hang on to 95% for a long time. y at - it another way to shut down the computer if it blocks 95%. because the other option turn off at the same time.

  You can try one of the following:

  1. VMware-cmd - l = list all running virtual machine, copy and paste the full path to the command below.
     VMware-cmd < config > stop trysoft

  2. VM-help - x - list of vmid
     VM-support - X < vmid > to kill him...

  3. ps - ef | more
     find the process related to the world
     kill him.

  I think that option 1 will not longer work, best bet is option 2.
