  Hola, me paso in several implementaciones. Lo resolvimos configurando the service of MS SQL como dependence del servicio vCenter tal como indicaron in other responses.

  Lo configuramos asi:

  1. Buscar the registro HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\vpxdy editar property DependsOnService cadena

  2. Add una entrada del tipo REG_SZ_MULTI con el valor MSSQLSERVER

  From este momento el servicio vCenter no intentara iniciar a less than the service of SQL (MSSQLSERVER) este levantado in el equipo.

• How to check what database is used by VMware Virtual Center?

  Hello

  I recently inherited a small environment and I was asked to upgrade ESX 3.5 to ESX 4.0. I'm not a person from the database, but how can I check what database is used by VMware Virtual Center? According to the guide to upgrade the MSDE database is not supported in ESX 4.0.

  I want to just make sure that we did not use this database. I looked in the ODBC Data Source Administrator. Thanks to the system DSN, I saw that the drivers for Vmware Update Manager and Vmware Virtual Center are "SQL Native Client". Also registry editor, I watched HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-> SOFTWARE-> VMWARE, INC.-> VMware Virtual Center-> DB. Data on 'Vmware VirtualCenter' next to '1' and '4' is set to "SQL Native Client".

  So, how can I determine if the database used is not MSDE?

  Sorry for the stupid question, but I'm not so much with the databases...

  Thank you.

  Den...

  > So, how can I determine if the database used is not MSDE?

  MSDE does not remote databases.  ODBC Open, click System DSN, click Configure.  The listed database is that it uses, and if that is the name used for virtual center, this is the database in use.

• Error 1067 by starting the VMware Virtual Center Server service after the upgrade to VCenter 4.1

  I've started with VCenter 4.0 update online success in 4.1u1

  but now I can not start the service with Error 1067 by starting the VMware Virtual Center Server service.

  I did the upgrade online in VCenter 4.1u1 with this iso file VMware-VIMSetup-all - 4.1.0 - 345042.iso and now the entire production is declining.

  I use SQL Server 2005 32-bit as the database.

  Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated please?

  I guess it's all true by:

  http://KB.VMware.com/kb/1022104

  http://www.VMware.com/support/vSphere4/doc/vsp_vc41_u1_rel_notes.html

  And what exactly is a failure, is the DB on a different server or living on the vCenter Server?

• vCenter 4, Virtual Center 2.5 update 5

  Hello

  I am eager to test vSphere and plan on the modernisation of one of my ESX hosts at vSpehre(ESX 4). At the moment all my ESX hosts running ESX 3.5 Update 4 and they plug into my virtual center which is Virtual Center 2.5 update 5. I'm wondering - is it possible for me to update one of my hosts vsphere and power continue to administer fully in VC 2.5. Or do I have to put my server VC to vCenter 4 to allow me to fully administer.

  Hoping someone can put me straight on this one, can't find anything official.

  Thanks in advance.

  To test that fully, you will need to have vCenter 4 - since you only test I resist a new vCenter Server 4 and use this leaving your existing environment intact

• The upgrade for the virtual center 2.5 update 3

  I'm currently running virtual center 2.5.0 Update 1. (build 84767)  The server app and oracle are currently on the same server.  I'm going to do a new install of virtual center 2.5 update 3 on a new server.  Someone at - it a have no matter what advice or can point me to a good documentation.  Thank you

  Yes.  Follow best practices in manual and separate the DB app.  Put it on the same server are a bad idea.  Other than that, it's an operation simple pretty seemless as long as you follow the instructions.

• Virtual Center 2.5 update to Update5

  I did some searching on Google but could not find a guide to update step by step.

  Recently asked me to update our U5 virtual Center 2.5.

  How can any reference?

  Thank you.

  It's pretty simple.

  Just run 2.5u5 installer - it would detect the existing facility and offer to upgrade.

  But of course take db backup first.

• Problems with VMware virtual Center 2.5.0 and ESX 3.5.0 123630

  I lost connection to my SAN over the weekend and restarted my entire stack. Everything came to life, except a host server ESX is grayed out and shows disconnected my cluster of Virtual Center. If I right click on the host, everything is gray except 'Add alarm, add Permission, summary report and Performance report'.  I was able to connect directly to the host and was able to start the VM on the host machines, but my question is how to run in my cluster Virtual Center? I have no option to remove or connect.

  Thank you

  try restarting your vCenter Server Service

  ... also, you can restart pass and/or management agents vCenter on the host in question to the service console

  > service mgmt-vmware restart

  > service vmware-vpxa restart

• Product support VMware Virtual Center 2.5

  Anyone know of a document or could tell me what Vmware platforms can be managed through VirtualCenter. Is it possible to manage VMware Server or merger, for example.

  Thank you very much

  Welcome to the Forum - virtual Center 2.5 is specially designed to manage only the ESX/ESXi - you will not be able to manage VMware Server or merge with virtual center

• VMWare Virtual Center Server does not start after Windows Update

  Help!  I'm under vCenter 5.1 on Windows 2008 R2 with SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard.  I have applied the latest updates for Windows (critical only) as it applied Service Pack 3 to SQL 2008 R2.

  Now the vCenter Service does not start.  It generates error 7024 in the Windows system log:

  The VMware VirtualCenter Server service stopped with the error special service that the system cannot find the specified file...

  and error 1000 in the Windows application log:

  Could not initialize the VMware VirtualCenter. Closing...

  PS - I confirmed that the SQL instance is running.

  Absolutely nothing has been done except the Windows and SQL updates.  Everything worked fine until this point.  Ko an article deals with a "space" condition, but there are a lot of available space.

  I have attached the file vpxd.log, he created.

  Clues?

  Thank you.

  OK it turns out that the WWW service is interfering with vCenter Service on Port 80.  The thing is that the WWW service has been set to manual start.  Somehow during the upgrade Windows or SQL, one of them decided to turn auto-start. After the reboot, the conflict occurred.  Once I put the WWW back service to manual start the vCenter service started OK.

  vCenter 2.5.x can manage the 3.0.x completely to the hosts 3.5.0U4, hosts so there is no specific patch level you need to be on your ESX host.

• Do I need to have 2 servers attached to a San to try VMware virtual center server?  or just 2 operational esx servers?

  Thank you.

  VC, you can do with a single esx host to manage. To test HA and DRS, you need two servers, using shared storage (san or a certain type of sin).

• Microsoft SQL Server database is provided with VMWARE Virtual Center Server Software

  Hello

  I am in a process of buying license for ESX 3.5 and VC Server.

  I know that for the VC Server installation, we require MS SQL Database or Oracle database.

  Please let me know that this database will come with the server in VC software package.

  Or we have to buy separately license MS SQL?

  Please help me in this regard.

  Thanks in advance.

  What is limitations of SQL Express?

  No, to manage ESXi 5.0 hosts, you must have vCenter 5.

• Update Virtual Center to U1

  I need to upgrade my Virtual Center to match my ESX4 U1 servers.  It seem not to be many complaints about bad server updates to Virtual Center.  Is it really as simple as performing the installation and reboot?  Our envorionemnt is entirely HA.

  I remember there is even no need to reboot the server vCenter. Just a little down on service vCenter.

  HA will continue to work without vCenter.
