• vCenter 4.1 & SQL 2008 R2

  I try to install vCenter 4.1.0 - 259021 on my new Server Windows 2008 R2 standard and SQL 2008 R2 Express 64 bit (build 10.50.1600)

  Is this a supported VMware platform? (no trace on vsp_compatibility_matrix.pdf)

  Thanks for help

  Mauro

  The OS is fine.

  But also check compatibility (page 12) DB.

  The ony SQL Express that is supported is the 2005 version.

  And SQL Server 2008 R2 is not supported at all, in fact. Only 2008 and 2005 versions.

• Configuration of SQL 2008 R2, Enterprise Edition for vCenter Server 5.1

  Greetings to all seasons.

  Kind of a newbie here. That's my lab environment.

  I have always used the vCenter Server install Simple option that also installs the shipped Microsoft SQL 2008 R2 Express edition.

  Now, I do an eval of vSphere 5.1 and I want to manually configure a database server using the Microsoft SQL 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition.

  I know how to install the database server and it works. But I do not know how exactly set up a database for vCenter Server.

  I looked at the guide Configuration / Installation of vSphere and I don't seem to be able to follow the preparation vCenter Server databases section, because I'm not a person to the database. Y at - it any other guide or a blog, I can follow? I searched a lot and found everything I was looking for. Thought I would ask here.

  Here are the virtual machines I have.

  Lab - DC1 (domain controller)

  Lab - DC2 (domain controller)

  Lab-SQL1 (SQL 2008 R2, Enterprise Edition)

  Lab-SQL2 (SQL 2008 R2 Enterprise - subsequently configure failover clustering)

  Lab-VC1(vCenter Server 1)

  Any help is appreciated!

  Happy holidays.  Here is a link to another site with a nice installation guide for SQL 2008 for VMware.  Version 4.x, published in lonesysadmin.net was very helpful, so I'm sure that the 5.x update (have not read through it again) must be all too packed with useful tips.

• VCenter 4.1 install error on a french MS SQL 2008 SP1

  Hi, we have a problem with a windows 2008 R2 (US or EN) and a MS SQL 2008 EN SP1.

  We cannot install the vcenter server. We have an error "Error 25003. Installation failed to create the repository of the vCenter server. »

  It works with MS SQL Express 2005 or 2008 US.

  It also works with a MS SQL 2008 SP1 US.

  That's OK with a MS SQL 2008 SP1 EN when we install a vcenter 4.0 Update 1.

  We have another problem:

  We cannot account system choice when we install Vcenter 4.1 with a DSN for SQL 2008, even when we turn off the UAC.

• 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.)?

• Leaving the vCenter, database SQL 2008 R2 to SQL 2012 R2

  I have a project to move our of vCenter company database in SQL 2008 R2 Cluster at our new farm of R2 SQL 2012, is it as simple as:

  2 restore database in SQL 2012 R2

  3. set up new DSN (SQL Native 11 for 2012 R2?) pointing to vCenter server

  OR is there more to him because of the differences between SQL 2008 R2 and SQL 2012 R2?

• vCenter on vOrchestrator on SQL 2005 and SQL 2008?

  I was reading the support for vCenter and vOrchestrator matrix and was surprised to see that vCenter is fully supported on SQL 2008 but vOrchestrator is only supported on SQL 2005. As we all migrate to SQL 2008, we want to install as many vSPhere on SQL 2008 as possible. Is - it possible/decision-making supported to install vSphere on SQL 2008 and then separately install vOrchestrator on SQL 2005? Installing vCenter it seems to me that if both components have been installed at the same time, but maybe it was because I was in a lab environment and went with the built-in SQL Express.

  Any word on what vOrchestrator will support SQL 2008? I really don't like VMware may not have common requirements for all their products. I know that vOrchestorator was an acquisition, but still... come on people! Life is complicated enough.

  vCenter and Orchestrator use their own databases, you can install vCenter on SQL 2008 and Orchestrator 2005 without problem.

• Migration of Vcenter DB from SQL SERVER 2005 to SQL 2008 Express

  Hello
  I'll migrate the physical vcenter server to a virtual machine, then I'll install a new VM with OS 2008R2 and SQL2008. But I need the migration plan
  vCenter DB from SQL 2005 to SQL2008. VMware also recommends

  Note: 1) VMware recommends now IP address and host name the same information to facilitate the migration.

  (2) software migration to different vCenter Server, Manager of update or VMware Orchestrator. For example, Site Recovery Manager is not migrated.

  (3) move the VMware Orchestrator database. You must do it manually.

  We can give to vcenter server new name and IP and if yes what will be then problem occur after the post migration.

  Thank you

  vmguy

  It takes to keep the same name and IP address? If we will give different vcenter and IP server name then how will transfer of post stage

  If you can keep the same name of host and IP, this would make it so much easier.  That said, if you need to change the host name and IP address of vCenter you can run into issues where all your guests appear as disconnected. Usually, you can right click and choose 'connect', asked credentials for your hosts of ESXi, but after that they should remain connected.

  In addition, just in case I posted above another KB.

• PROBLEM CONNECTING TO SQL 2008 EXPRESS WITH ASP CLASSIC BETWEEN THE WORKSTATIONS ON A PRIVATE NETWORK

  I have created a private network (no internet connection) of four workstations, each running a SQL Express 2008 installation.  All four laptops are running Windows 7 Professional.  I created a homegroup for this private network.  While I don't care sharing of files between the four workstations, I have three of them in order to connect to the SQL 2008 Express database on the fourth mobile through channels of connection in the classic ASP programs.  Each of the four laptops can see others in the network.  I can ping the ip addresses of each to the other without any problem.  When I try to launch the ASP program on three laptop computers that attempt to connect to the SQL database on the fourth, I get the server does not exist or don't access denied error '80004005'.  The same program can also run on the fourth laptop and connects to the SQL database with no problems.  I tried to use SQLOLEDB and SQLNCLI10 provider in the chain of connection on the other three.  This operation fails.  I tried to add the IP address of the computer hosting the database as a Data Source in the connection on the other three string and still fails.  Named pipes and TCP/IP are enabled.  Each laptop can connect to the instance of SQLEXPRESS executed on each, but I need three to be able to connect to the instance of SQL Express running on the fourth.  Any ideas what I can do wrong?  This connection string works fine in the ASP program to connect to the local database on each laptop:

  Connection.Open "PROVIDER = SQLOLEDB; Server = computername\sqlexpress; UID = MyUser; PWD = MyUserPassword; DATABASE = MyDatabase ".

  Nothing seems to work for the chain of connection than the other three laptops to do to connect to this database on the fourth laptop.
