vCenter upgrade from 5.0 to 5.5 for the new machine, SRM and dvswitch
Anyone know if it is possible to do a upgrade to vCenter from a machine under windows server 2008 on a new computer server 2012? The database is located on an external computer. All I can see in the upgrade doc is that there is a tool for migrating data with earlier versions, but not when moving to 5.5.
Also - what implications are there if there's a dvswitch in the site?
Thank you very much
Hello
I guess you run ESXi and vCenter 5.1?
If it were me, I'd do the following:
-Install a new instance of vCenter on a new Server R2 2012
-Turn off the old server vCenter on 2008.
-Save the remote SQL database vCenter.
-Install a new instance of the Web, the inventory Service and SSO client. I remind vCenter to use the SQL remote database existing and chose to 'upgrade' when installing vCenter.
Then you'd be in vCenter server 2012 R2 with a new facility and using your old database that will get upgraded. You will always retain so your dvSwitch information. I'm not sure of SRM, you probably need to reconfigure it to use the new vCenter Server (unless you use IP records or that you can easily return?).
There are a few things to think about when you really do. Can you afford any downtime on vCenter? What of SRM and your RPO/RTO? The complexity is your configuration of SSO? Use you things like tags in web client (they would get lost in the reconstruction of the inventory service)? What confidence you are on the side of things RS? It is possible to save these configurations, but I'm not sure restore them on 5.5.
The main thing to consider is the database really. Worst case, you can restore it and turn back on your old vCenter 2008.
Happy to be told I'm wrong or answer your questions. If in doubt, contact VMware technical support and ask for help.
Kind regards

Virtual Center upgrade to 5.0 U1 4.1 on the new machine
Hello
I don't see that this scenario in the upgrade documentation so wanted to clarify.
Have currently Windows 2008 R2 server running Virtual Center 4.1 U1 and database resides on separate SQL 2008 Server. Virtual Center Server has been improved 3 times now so eager to make a new update for Virtual Center 5.0 on a new server by keeping the existing database. The data migration tool cannot be used because it is only for the migration of versions prior to version 4.1 U1.
I'll do the following:
Install a new server with new name/ip.
Install Virtual Center 5.0 and create the DNS pointing to the existing SQL 4.1 database.
-At this point is it ask me to upgrade the database?
I have problems in doing this? Will all of my existing hosts show as offline and must be reconnected and updated Virtual Center new server SSL certificates?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, there will be an upgrade of the DB schema, so make sure you have a good backup. Make sure that you set up the system DSN from 64 bits to the correct address and test your connection to the DB before upgrading. Also, make sure you have dbo on the VCDB and MSDB
I have problems in doing this? Will all of my existing hosts show as offline and must be reconnected and updated Virtual Center new server SSL certificates?
If you change the host name and IP, your hosts may be in offline / not responding. If you do a right click on it and "connect", they should return to the inventory very well. (you may be prompted for credentials to the root)

Hello
I'm trying to upgrade from my son's laptop computer and want to replace the current drive with a much larger.
It is running Vista Home premium Edition (32 bit) and he lost his records came with the laptop: I can do? I bought Windows 7 Upgrade and a disk hard sata 500 GB, but I need to get Vista on the new drive before Windows 7 readers.
I backed up the data using Windows Easy Transfer for issue restores the operating system.
Please note that this is a laptop, I can only have a hard drive up both and I don't know how to get the operating system to the new blank disc? I can create a recovery on a DVD disc / C or something Vista or a 3rd party utility?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Contact the manufacturer to see if you have a recovery Partition and if it can create recovery discs. If so, create the recovery disks and you will be able to use them to restore the system to factory conditions once you have installed the new drive (but you may need to install the new Vista compatible drivers for the new drive as the recovery disks can have only those for the old disk). Otherwise, contact the manufacturer and get a set of recovery (at a modest price) discs and use them to restore the system to the conditions of the plant on the new drive. When we talk to them, confirm that their recovery process allows you to install new drivers for the new drive hard during the process and exactly how do (or it doesn't work - so be sure to check it out). We cannot help you with recovery of the manufacturer process as it their not Microsoft.
I hope this helps.
Good luck!

Vista to Windows 7 Upgrade not activate when it is installed on the bare machine
I have two laptops.
The first belonged originally to my employer and originally had an OEM of Vista installation. After that I bought them that I've upgraded to Windows 7 Home Premium via the upgrade Vista product. This laptop is dead in a final very recently.
Also the second laptop was bought by my employer, but as bare metal (they were more able to transfer licenses of Windows). He had no OS installed. I was not able to install a copy of Vista on it (because the purchase of the laptop one did not include the disks of Vista). So that I could not transfer activation. Windows 7 upgrade-to-Vista install has worked well on the bare machine (after downloading the drivers and others) except for activation, where he could not say "you cannot use an upgrade installation."
I guess, reading a bit on this topic here, I'm out of luck on the old Windows 7 license transfer (although I'd like to hear otherwise). Even if this is the case, I need to know what I need to follow to install a version "authentic". I don't want to build the machine from scratch once again, if I can avoid it - it was very tedious. I don't want to 'upgrade' to Windows 8.
He would work to install a version of Windows 7 OEM on top of the existing, or must they be installed on a naked machine? Is there a different version that works if that won't? (Special bonus question: would such a facility, if it works, make the machine that is eligible for a free upgrade of Windows 10?)
Thanks for all your comments and responses.
