• After an edition upgrade to SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard, vSphere cannot communicate with the VIM_VCDB database

  My vCenter environment is 5.0 and has been initially implemented using SQL Server 2008 R2 Express as the database.  We have reached the limit of size of 10 GB for the Express version, so I want to upgrade the database 2008 R2 express 2008 R2 standard.

  Before the upgrade, I stopped the vCenter Server service before you start the SQL Server Setup program.  I did an "Upgrade Edition", to consider express standard.  It ends successfully with 2 minutes, and then I went and restarted the server vCenter service.

  However, after restarting the service, vSphere is unable to communicate with the VIM_VCDB.  For example, in vSphere if I click a virtual machine and click the performance tab, it tells me that it's impossible to view the web page.  It seems to be unable to communicate with the VIM_VCDB.  I have not changed all database names, or the ODBC settings, so not sure what is causing the problem.

  If I go to ODBC data sources administrator and test the Data Source, the test completes successfully.

  I have read all the documentation I could find and tried a few different things, but not found something that solves this problem.  I ended up having to go back to the snapshot backup, I took before the upgrade of the database edition.

  Anyone have any ideas on what the issue might be, or what should I do to solve it?

  The database is probably fine.

• 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.

• How to upgrade from Virtual Center 2.5 + SQL Server 2000 to vCenter 4.1 + SQL Server 2008 (R2)?

  I plan the upgrade of an existing VMware Infrastructure 3 (Virtual Center 2.5 + ESX 3.5) to vSphere 4.1, and I'm stuck in the Virtual Center Server upgrade and its back-end database.

  vSphere 4.1 is released only as a 64-bit software, so he needs a x 64 O.S.; This excludes an upgrade the existing server on-site.

  The plan is to install a new Server Windows Server 2008 R2 with SQL Server 2008 (or 2008 R2 if taken in charge), migrate the database and install 4.1 on the server vCenter.

  The question: How can I migrate the database?

  When you perform an upgrade of Virtual Center vCenter 4.0 on-site, the database is automatically upgraded; but this isn't the case when you install a new server.

  VMware provides a utility to clear the existing database and import it into a new server, but it works only for SQL Server Express (which according to VMware must not be used in medium/large production environments); If this is not an option.

  I am unable to find a support procedure to perform this migration.

  Can someone please help?

  Massimo,

  I just went through it and found it to be a little pain simply because I forgot to VMware document simplicity...

  You are right, the 'migration' tool does support SQL Server Express, I don't know why and niether are the two VMware Tech Support Agents I spoke with.

  To anyone reading this. NOTE If you perform the upgrade / migration SQL Server Express via the Migration tool you MUST check the registry DbServerType key FIRST! If it is set on Custom Migration tools will ignore simply stages of database! See this VMware KB article for more information:

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalID=1024380

  Yes, it is the States 'failure', what he does not say, it is that the Migration tool will be 'Silencieusement Skip' your database.

  End of Migration tools do call a standard SQL Server T - SQL backup command. YAY! You don't have to upgrade your existing 32-bit vCenter Server, do first just in case backup/snapshot, then run through the upgrade as if you were going to use the 32-bit version in production. This step will apply to any database schema change.

  Build your brilliant new 64-bit server, install all of the bits and then use SQL Server Management Studio to make a backup of SQL Server 32-bit database and then restore it on your new 64-bit server. NOTE: Make sure that all SQL and vCenter services are stopped before proceeding with the backup and restore of the measures.

  After the restoration of the SQL on your new server it reboot and everything will come back to life just as it is only now with all 64 bit!

  Hope this Helps!

• UCS environment vSphere 5.1 upgrade to vSphere 6 with Nexus 1000v

  Hi, I've faced trying to get the help of TAC and internet research on the way to upgrade to our UCS environment, and as a last thought resort, I would try a post on the forum.

  My environment is an environment of UCS chassis with double tracking, tissue of interconnections, years 1110 with pair HA of 1000v 5.1 running vsphere.  We have updated all our equipment (blades, series C and UCS Manager) for the supported versions of the firmware by CISCO for vSphere 6.

  We have even upgraded our Nexus 1000v 5.2 (1) SV3(1.5a) which is a support for vSphere version 6.

  To save us some treatment and cost of issuing permits and on our previous vcenter server performance was lacking and unreliable, I looked at the virtual migration on the vCenter 6 appliance.  There is nowhere where I can find information which advises on how to begin the process of upgrading VMWare on NGC when the 1000v is incorporated.  I would have thought that it is a virtual machine if you have all of your improved versions to support versions for 6 veil smooth.

  A response I got from TAC was that we had to move all of our VM on a standard switch to improve the vCenter, but given we are already on a supported the 1000v for vSphere version 6 that he left me confused, nor that I would get the opportunity to rework our environment being a hospital with this kind of downtime and outage windows for more than 200 machines.

  Can provide some tips, or anyone else has tried a similar upgrade path?

  Greetings.

  It seems that you have already upgraded your components N1k (are VEM upgraded to match?).

  Are your questions more info on how you upgrade/migration to a vcenter server to another?

  If you import your vcenter database to your new vcenter, it shouldn't have a lot of waste of time, as the VSM/VEM will always see the vcenter and N1k dVS.  If you change the vcenter server name/IP, but import the old vcenter DB, there are a few steps, you will need to ensure that the connection of VSM SVS corresponds to the new IP address in vcenter.

  If you try to create a new additional vcenter in parallel, then you will have problems of downtime as the name of port-profiles/network programming the guestVMs currently have will lose their 'support' info if you attempt to migrate, because you to NIC dVS standard or generic before the hosts for the new vcenter.

  If you are already on vcenter 6, I believe you can vmotion from one host to another and more profile vswitch/dVS/port used.

  Really need more detail on how to migrate from a vcenter for the VCA 6.0.

  Thank you

• During the installation of the ultimate upgrade, get "one or several components of the system could not be configured", then it restarts and pours me to premium.___How can I say what is the cause of the problem and fix it?

  I have the same problem as Laweaver.
  I have a HP pavillion Model # m9040n running the 32-bit version with service pack 1.
  My Vista Ultimate Upgrade drive is 32 bit and also has Service Pack 1 on it.
  I ran my system through the Microsoft Update and it is common.
  I ran Vista Advisor and he tells me that everything is good to go.
  I also ran my system through the center of update of HP and he is current.
  I tried the Ultimate Upgrade three times and got the same message twice.
  Of course, it waits until it reaches "end of the upgrade" before it fails.
  I turned all the extra wide including the firewall when I tried the upgrades
  My computer came with the home edition Premium already installed on it and I have the disks of backup for him if I have to do a repair on it.
  I have the same question though - how to tell what the cause of the problem and fix?
  Thank you

• vSphere licenses after upgrade from 4.0 to 5.0

  Hello!

  I just upgraded my ESXi from version 4.0 to 5.0.

  After this upgrade, it seems to run in evaluation Mode , even though it had the free license for vSphere Hypervisor before.

  Why did he changed evaluation Mode and how can I get this free license for my ESXi back?

  I tried to save it and did other things, but nothing has worked.

  Thanks for the help!

  Robert

  You cannot save the license key in VMware portal.

  All you need to do is enter the key in your ESXi host. Open a session using the vSphere Client, go to the Configuration tab and select functions under license. There you can enter the license key.

• VSphere 4.1 upgrade methods

  Hi all

  What are the possible methods to upgrade VSphere 4.x for VSphere 5.

  ESXi can be migrated from 4.1 to 5.0 by using:
  -Interactive migration (by using the installation media to start the host).  You can use the same installation media to do a new installation or an upgrade to ESX/ESXi 4.x to 5.0 ESXi.
  -Migration script (using the script KS.cfg)
  -vCenter Update Manager
  Note: You cannot make a migration to an ESXi host using CLI (like vihostupdate).
  The vCenter Server 4.1 to 5.0 upgrade process is quite similar to migrate from vCenter 4.0 to 5.0 (see the guide to upgrading VMware site)

• vSphere 4.1 upgrade can't ssh?

  I just finished upgrading on-site ESX3.5 to 4.1 and I noticed that unless my users are a member of the ROOT group we cannot ssh in the COS.  I checked the file /etc/pam.d/su and the required auth training is in place to allow the wheel ssh access group, but it doesn't seem to work.

  In addition, anyone where I can find a compliance for vSphere script that will not automatically implement required changes?  I used to use Tripwire, but unfortunately that no longer works for vSphere.  :-(

  Thank you
