VSphere DB Upgrade or start fresh with new DB

Hello

We run vSphere 4.0 under Windows 2003 R2, 32-bit. If we are unable to update on that server.

We have a new Windows 2008 R2 server running. Rather than move the SQL database, we believe on the new server. We would remove the a vSphere hosts and add them to the new center of vSphere server.

Are there any big reasons not to do this? We have 5 guests, 2 groups, with 40 VMs. The DB upgrade process is rather involved. For us, it seems faster again. It would take the vSwitches and network but a host profile can take care of this. The storage will be a problem? Must all virtual machines be stopped to do?

Also, we are currently running SQL server on the center of vSphere. We plan to go with SQL Express on the new server to save on the SQL License. So we cannot upgrade a database SQL a SQL Express DB... or at least it is has than nothing documented for this.

Thank you

Greg

all virtual machines registered guests, so when you add hosts, the virtual machine will come with.

  • Cannot start VM with new license

    Hi all

    I wonder if someone can help me... I've built several virtual machines on ESXi host using vSphere license eval which recently expired.

    Decided that the cheapest way to start and stop VMs would be to purchase a license of workstation so I bought last night.

    For the moment I entered the license key and activation of license online but still can't start one of my old VMs and get error - license key has expired.

    What is this expected behavior - cannot start the VM on the remote host if they were built using eval license?

    You say I should not have bought the VM Workstation license and could use vSphere Client somehow to start my VMs?

    Yes, is not the Client, you need vSphere licenses, the ESXi host itself, is why you cannot start the virtual computer after the expiry of the period of eval, no matter if you connect to the host via the vSphere Client or VMware Workstation.

    If your ESXi host (assuming that you use version 5) has no more than 32 GB of physical memory, you can use the free license of the hypervisor.

  • Start again with new Macbook Pro to get iphotos?

    Hello.  I just bought a new Macbook Pro.

    • MacBook Pro (retina, 13 inches, early 2015)
    • Yosemite 10.10.5 (14F27)

    I implemented and transferred all my old information of Macbook Pro's Time Machine, which was on an external hard drive.

    • I don't know if I've used Setup Assistant or Migration Assistant
    • It took about 24 hours to pass through the automatic processes
    • Despite unacceptable all the time, everything now works like a charm and I have all my old settings.

    Except that... aaah!... seven years of photos are gone from my iphoto library!  My old computer was erased and sold, so imagine my panic.

    Looking at my TM backups, I think that the pictures are there, but I can't seem to them.

    • I can't copy the iphoto for my new Macbook library because it is something outrageous like GB 131 (I don't understand).
    • Import of the former library through the Photos app on my new Macbook translated "year error occurred while repairing permissions."
    • I can't do anything to the old iphoto library because I do not have the old Macbook.

    I read something to the effect that there is a way in the configuration wizard for a box to check and retrieve the iphoto library.  I'm completely willing to start with the new Macbook.  I have only used it for about three weeks and don't need whatever it might be saved.

    I would appreciate any advice on how to recover my photos of TM on my external hard drive.  If this notice includes restarting, please specify the EXACT measurements!

    Thank you in advance.

  • Help blackBerry Smartphones! Bold 9700 is frozen on start up with the new sim card

    I tried looking for similar topics but could not find more relevant. everyone seems to have no problem with swapping of cards sim on their fat. If there is a thread already open, I'm sorry. I am really frustrated and really need my blackberry to be operational.

    I have a Bold 9700, updated to the latest OS, everything works fine. I recently had some problems with my old sim card so I went to my service provider to change to another (same number, same line, same contract, just a new sim card).

    As it is expected that I was told that when my old sim is disabled, simply insert my new and I use my phone as normal.

    However, when I did this, the phone was stuck at the loading screen (the bar is all white) for eternity (maybe 5 minutes or more) before moving on to the home screen. There is no charge "security check" bar, the phone is completely frozen, no buttons work, the touch pad does not work, it shows 3G top right without the sign of blackberry, there is no service provider name and from time to time the little loading logo clock is displayed.

    I pulled the battery a couple of times and the problem persists. I called the service provider to reactivate the new sim card, they did 3 times, same problem. I inserted the SIM in other non-blackberry phones that I have and it works on all phones. When I put my old sim card in the 9700 disabled, the phone start end in 2-3 minutes, 'check' safety bar according to normal, everything moves, just no connection to the service. When I turn on the phone without sim card it starts fine with a message to say out loud the card sim.

    I even went down to the assistance service technique blackberry from my service provider and they were no help. all they could say was 'we must wipe your phone and reload the software' that I'm trying to avoid, and I can do it myself anyway.

    My phone is unlocked, comes unlocked here in Singapore, I even checked using the method 'MEPD', all disabled.

    This was very frustrating, especially when I need my blackberry for work. What is the problem with my phone? How can the simple replacement of a sim card if difficult on a blackberry when there is problem free for ANY other phone I've ever used? I am now fear when I travel abroad for business and requires a foreign sim card.

    had the same problem and eventually happeing is that I had to reload my os permeable, and then insert the sim card and upgrade again.

  • Satellite 1800-100 won't start with new memory

    My satellite s1800-100 won't start although my new memory (2nd) module is 128 MB PC100.

    I have Samsung samsung K4S281632C-TC1H module as PC100 (128 MB) memory on SLOT 1 by default.

    Although all of the features and form factors are clean, why not my Satellite S1800-100 starts? I checked the new (slot 2) memory works fine and tested OK.

    So, is there as a possibility to have a problem in the 2 Slot? Or is associated with failure of the BIOS? (there is no more recent BIOS, current is 2.20 for Satellite S1800-100).

    I am disappointed. I bought a new 128 MB PC100, to insert it in the slot 2, my Toshiba didn't boou up!.

    Important note: if I connect the new memory I bought yesterday, works very well in Slot 1.

    Please help and understanding.

    Kind regards...

    Hello

    Well, it very difficult to say why it won't start.
    I think that there are several possibilities:

    (1.) you used a bad module
    (2.) the second Bank of the Board of Directors has a malfunction
    (3.) the laptop does not support max 256 MB of RAM

    I think that point 1 and 3 is not relevant because you have tested the module and it worked on the first location. Additional the laptop should be able to handle 2 x 256 MB memory, so you should be able to use 2 x 128 MB

    I think that the second ram location may have a malfunction.
    Please check the second slot with a module of memory.

    The second possibility is to use exactly the module which is recommended by Toshiba.
    As I remember it s PC100 128 MB (PA3005U) SDRAM

    I have a question comparing Dreamweaver and Muse.  Can I create a website with Muse, then learn Dreamweaver, and edit the site Web of Muse?  Or would I need to start over with a new Web site based on Dreamweaver?

    I went the same route. I started to want to learn web design and the Muse is an excellent tool. The code it generates, however, not to use it in Dreamweaver. This could be done, I think this isn't worth it, even for a real Geek. Once you get to Muse you will find there are things missing, stuff, you want to do, but are just tough in Muse or you can buy a widget. It is possible in DW and you get which through subscription, so it makes sense. Me what I know now, I'll go directly to DW to learn, except if you want results right now. If you don't want something to cause I stay with Muse and maybe learn to animate CC to add some pizazz to the site. If you only want a simple layout and a couple supporting stick with Muse pages if you want a larger site use DW.

  • Satellite C75-A-13 q - no boot with new HARD drive

    Hello world

    I have a strange problem...
    The crash of hard disk internal down. I mounted the hard drive on other PCs, no access, not detected in the bios... RIP.
    It is the starting point of my problem.
    So, I decide to replace the hard drive. a new is detected by the bios, everything beautiful, but...
    I couldn't start on USB, CD/DVD or hdd internal I prepared before (installation of linux don't care to change the host pc).
    Of course, I disabled the BIOS Secure Boot option.

    So my question is: is there a relationship between the original hard drive and the start feature? How to solve this?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    As much as I know there is no any type of relationship between original HARD disk and the start feature.
    You can exchange the HARD drive or enhance it with SSD but so long BIOS recognized new peripheral, you should be able to install the new OS.

    I upgraded the machine y with SSD and installed original picture of recovery without any problem.

    What model of laptop do you have?
    Have you tried to install the original recovery image using recovery media created?

  • Problem with New-OSCustomizationSpec during the deployment of a new virtual machine

    Hi all, I'm having a problem trying to deploy a VM from a script.  I started with this thread LucD code: https://communities.vmware.com/message/2220479#2220479. I'll start with the Basic code that I use:

    $myCluster = Get-Cluster -Name "Cluster1" | Get-ResourcePool "Test"
    $myTemplate = Get-Template -Name "Win 2008 R2 SP1 Std - Powershell"
    $myDatastoreCluster = Get-DatastoreCluster -Name "DataStoreCluster1"
    $myVM = "Adam12"
    $IP = "10.0.0.1"
    $SubnetMask = "255.255.255.0"
    $Gateway = "10.0.0.254"
    $DNS = "10.0.0.10","10.0.0.11"
    
    Get-OSCustomizationSpec -Name "Server 2008 R2 Standard - Powershell" | New-OSCustomizationSpec -Name temp -Type NonPersistent
    Get-OSCustomizationSpec -Name temp | Get-OSCustomizationNicMapping | Set-OSCustomizationNicMapping -IpMode UseStaticIP -IpAddress $IP -SubnetMask $SubnetMask -DefaultGateway $Gateway -Dns $DNS
    
    New-VM -Name $myVM -Location "Folder1" -Template $myTemplate -Datastore $myDatastoreCluster -ResourcePool $myCluster -OSCustomizationSpec temp
    
    

    Very simple.  Now I can use the New - VM above command directly against the template and the OSCustomizationSpec, and that works just fine (and of course manually provisioning works as well).  However, as soon as I try to make a new one and use the 'temp' specification, the virtual machine never gets to the name change process and I ended up get an error oobe indicating "impossible Windows analyze or process the unattend answer file."  I noticed in the Summary tab in vSphere that the IP address is correct on this basis, but the name of the server never changes the name of the original model.

    I stripped down and got out of line 10 above (static IP address setting) and just left it to DHCP and it doesn't have the same way.  Any ideas on what could be the cause?  Everything else works, it puts the virtual machine in the correct folder, the data store right pole and the pole of the right.

    As a bonus question: after all what I have read, VM storage profiles are not accessible via PowerCLI.  This changed at all?  It would be good to set the profile in a script instead of having to do it manually after the fact.  Thank you!

    Adam

    Answering my own post here...

    Seems that it works if I create the New OsCustomizationSpec with - Type persistent instead of NonPersistent.  I'm on vSphere 5.0 and 5.0 with PowerCLI 5.1 ESXi, if my guess is that those of you who have found this works are on vSphere 5.1.

    I'm just starting my big 5.5 update, so I'll re - visit it at that time.  For now, I'll just to create a random variable of 8 characters for the temporary custspec and remove it when the virtual machine is deployed.  Seems to work fine and I can have several builders of VMs at various locations without stepping on each other.
