vCenter Server 4.0 - Error 25003 & SQL 2005

Hi all

I try to install vCenter Server 4.0; Unfortunately, I won't have much luck.  I'll say this right at the front; I have never installed vCenter Server before or dirty with database.  I apologize in advance for any stupid errors.  The installer dies on me with this error:

""Error 25003.Setup failed to create the server vCenter. repository".

Equipment: that I install vCenter Server 4.0:

  • Windows Server 2008 64 bit (computer is on a domain)

Equipment database:

  • Running SQL Server 2005 on a Windows 2003 64-bit (computer is on a domain)

How I created a SQL 2005 database.

1. a law on databases and selected click 'New database'.

How I created a Data Source Name (DSN)

  1. Has launched the 32-bit version of Data Source ODBC Administrator located in the: C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\odbcad32 (someone recommended ODBC running this way to fix 25003).

  2. SQL Server DSN must connect is a W2K 64 bit running SQL 2005.

  3. The default use "verify the authenticity of the ID connection via integrated Windows authentication.

  4. Connect to the new SQL server database.

How do I install vCenter Server:

  1. Choose the option to use an existing supported database.

  2. Leaving the username and password fields empty database.

  3. By using a local administrator for the service account account.

That people is what I did.  If you guys need more information, or have a few storms of brain on what I'm doing wrong please post.

I think that this may be a good starting point.  If you have any other questions, after return

    Hello

    Resolution

    Cause

    This problem can occur if an ESX host's IP address is changed while being managed by vCenter Server.

    Check the cause

    To check the cause of the problem:

    1. Log in as root to the ESX host using a SSH client.
    1. In the file etc/opt/vmware/vpxa/vpxa.cfg, find the IP address of the host. The entry looks like:


      10.21.48.121

      Note: for more information about editing the files, see installation in VMware ESX configuration files (1017022).

    Troubleshooting

    If the IP address is incorrect, perform the following steps in order. If the operation does not resolve the problem, continue to the next step. Don't skip a step.

    1. Disconnect and then reconnect the host:
    1. Right click on the ESX host in vCenter Server and click Disconnect.
    1. Reconnect the ESX host in vCenter Server.
    1. Restart the VirtualCenter agent on the ESX host:
    1. Stop the service of vpxa with the command:

      # service vmware-vpxa stop

    1. Open the /etc/opt/vmware/vpxa/vpxa.cfg file in a text editor and correct the IP address of the ESX host.
    1. Start the service of vpxa with the command:

      # service vmware-vpxa start

      Note: for VMware ESXi, you may have to restart all the management agents. For more information, see restart the agents on an ESX or ESXi Server (1003490) management .

    1. Rebuild the VirtualCenter agent on the ESX host configuration file:

      Attention: this step removes all the Statistics counters historical host and the virtual machine. If VMware ESX host is running in virtual machines that starts in a permitted CVS environment, you maybe won't be able to add the host without stopping the virtual machines first.

    1. Right click on the ESX host in vCenter Server and click Disconnect.
    1. Remove the ESX host disconnected from vCenter Server.
    1. Backup the file vpxa.cfg with the command:

      # mv /etc/opt/vmware/vpxa/vpxa.cfg /etc/opt/vmware/vpxa/vpxa.oldcfg

    1. Add the ESX host disconnected to the server vCenter inventory.
    1. Run the following command to view the contents of /etc/opt/vmware/vpxa/vpxa.cfg and confirm that the host IP address is correct:

      # cat /etc/opt/vmware/vpxa/vpxa.cfg

  • Errors in the charge installing vcenter Server 5.5 with respect to the SQL database

    I do a new install of vCenter Server 5.5 on a new Windows 2008 R2 server. The database for this facility is pointing at a 32-bit Windows 2003 SP2 server. I installed SQL Native Client 10.0 on server vCenter Server 64-bit, and then I could make my DSN ODBC 64-bit connection. The vCenter Server install could very well recognize it, but after the installation got going he wrong on the database with the following error:

    Error 25003.Setup cannot create vCenter Server repository. The main reasons for this failure are:

    -The database is installed using insensitive case.

    -The database is remote and the client database version does not match the database version. If this problem continues to persist, see KB 1003960 for further assistance.

    Well, I know that the version of the client and the version of database do not match. SQL native client on the sql server is 9.00.5000.00 and the version on the server vCenter Server is 10.50.1600.1.

    I know that this version of vCenter is compatible with an installation of 32-bit sql server 2005 on a 32-bit server, 2003.

    I am not familiar too if they want upgrade me sql native client on the sql server, but is not compatible with the version of sql server on this server and there are several database for other applications on this server, so I don't want to jump into something like that.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    I install the native client SQL 2005 and give a shot.

  • 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 vCenter Server to vCenter Server 5.1 5.1 update 1 when the SQL database is remote and vCenter Server Heartbeat is installed

    Hi guys,.

    I'm in the middle of an upgrade to vSphere 5.1 5.1 vSphere update 1. I have vCenter protected by HB and SQL on a separate computer (also protected by HB) I also run Syslog, Update Manager and Proxy authentication on vCenter.

    I've successfully upgraded HB on all 4 nodes (2 x vCenter & 2 x SQL) and started the upgrade components on the secondary according to the •vCenter Server Heartbeat 6.5 server and vCenter Update 1 Installation on Windows Server 2008 when the secondary server is virtual (PDF) http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vcenter-server-heartbeat-65-u1-installation-windows-2008-virtual-guide.pdf

    I got to step 3.c

    3. change the primary/active server role:

    a launch of the vCenter Server Heartbeat wizard configure server and click the tab of the Machine to change the server role for the current server (primary) to the active State and click Finish.

    b using the Service Control Manager, start the Server Heartbeat of VMware vCenter service.

    c using the vCenter Server Heartbeat Console, check that all the status icons on the server: summary page are green indicating that the boot process is completed and protected from all the services are started.

    d using the Service Control Manager, stop the service Server Heartbeat of VMware vCenter.

    As the vCenter service does not start, I'm stuck at this point. As far as I'm concerned, the error is quite logical. I've updated vCenter using the secondary server, and then I'm trying to connect (according to the guide) with another version that breaks down.

    If I continue with the services stop and launch the installer SSO, it is trying to perform an uninstall!

    Did I miss something in this upgrade?

    Concerning

    VCenter 5.1u1 comes with SQL Server 2008 Express or reuse it just the existing integrated DB?

    Because when I specify using products VMware interoperability Matrices it displays all the comments in the table.

    Hello

    You can upgrade vCenter server 4.1Update03 to 5.1Update01a, and it keep MSSQL2005 express Embedded DB and data in it. VCenter server upgrade with no problems found. I think that the product of VMware interoperability matrix titles only to distance/Custom not Database not the fact embedded database part of the vCenter server installation.

    If this isn't a supported database, upgrade to vCenter server would have failed to be upgraded with the inconsistent database or considering implementing in custody.

    During the upgrade to vCenter server 5.1Update01a, it asks you to install Single Sign and the inventory service.
