Why MS SQL server is required for installing vcenter?
Why MS SQL server is required for installing vcenter?
You need a database to contain the vCenter Server information. It may be SQL/Oracle. By default, an installation of SQL Express happens if you do not want to install a complete SQL Server blown - it will have maximum but limits work for smaller infrastructure.
Exact wording of the documentation:
vCenter Server and vCenter Update Manager require databases to store and organize the data from the server.
Each instance of vCenter server must have its own database. vCenter Server instances cannot share the same database schema. Several databases of vCenter Server can reside on the same database server, or they can be split between multiple database servers. Databases Oracle, who have the notion of schema objects, you can run several unique vCenter Server instances in a database server if you are the owner of a different pattern for each instance of vCenter server, or use a server of Oracle database dedicated for each instance of vCenter server.
You don't need to install a new server database for the vCenter Server installation to work. During installation, you can point the vCenter Server system for the supported existing databases. vCenter Server supports IBM DB2, Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server databases. vCenter Update Manager supports Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server databases. For a list of supported database server versions, see the vSphere compatibility tables tohttp://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r40/vsp_compatibility_matrix.pdf on the VMware vSphere documentation Web site.

SQL Server edition full for vCenter Server 6.0
Hello
Just learn that vCenter 6.0 does not support SQL Server Express.
We intend to use SQL Server 2008R2 as the database of vCenter Server 6.
We would like to ask for your opinion if we should use the full 32-bit or 64-bit SQL Server Edition? For SQL Server Express, 64 - Bit is used, I think that we need to use 64 bits one, is this correct?
Your opinion is requested.
Just learn that vCenter 6.0 does not support SQL Server Express.
The Windows 6.0 vCenter dropped the integrated SQL Express, BUT instead, it comes with a SQL database vPostgres shipped to replace it with similar restrictions. You don't need to install your own SQL server if you're ok with these limits. See the following article:
vSphere 6 - clarify misinformation. VMware vSphere Blog - VMware Blogs
Databases are supported for installing windows SQL 2008 R2, 2012 and 2014, Oracle 11g and 12 c as well as the possibility of using an embedded database vPostgres on windows vPostgres is limited to 20 guests and 200 VMs. Upgrades where SQL express is installed will be converted to vPostgres. The vCenter Server Appliance supports the vPostgres shipped to full scale, the host of 1000 and 10,000 virtual computers and is the database recommended for vCenter server unit. Oracle 11g and c 12 external databases are also supported for this version, look for these to drop in the future releases.
It is also possible to keep an existing SQL Express DB when you perform an upgrade:

If you use your own SQL server to go with a 64-bit version and stick them on products VMware interoperability Matrices.

This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software
Hello
I try to install the graphics driver on my laptop Dell Inspiron N5010 (I tried this three R252283, R257270 and R285472). But every time I get the error indicating that "this computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software.
Here are the details of my laptop configuration:

Makes sense, you do not have the integrated Intel graphics card, but rather have an AMD graphics card, install it:

Is an operating system that is supported for installing vCenter W2008
W2008 is an operating system supported for installing vCenter I looked through the documentation and I see is that W2003 is supported as an OS for vCenter. I have a client who says that VMware has told them that W2008 is supported with vCenter in the form of OS install. Does anyone under W2008 vCenter?
Thank you

SQL Server could not be installed.
I am trying to install the VB 2008 Express edition and every time I try and install all components install except for SQL servers. What could be the problem and how can I fix?
Maybe you have a lower version of SQL Server on your computer? Version 2000 and 2005 will install and then you can upgrade that seems to replace the 2008A with Home edition version number (I know I did it like that).

How to move data files from drive C to drive E in MS SQL Server 2005 used for hyperion
Hi all
We have installed Hyperion with MS SQL Server 2005. Hyperion 11.1.1.3 works well.
But in the SQL server data files will register in C drive only. But we have to back up the files in drive E.
I used the Attach and Detach method to move files from C drive to E drive.
After that, I am reconfiguring the EPM system. but I get errors in the configuration.
Now I get the planning of database failed when Confiuring planning.
Configuration of data source interface has failed in the Configuration of EPMA.
Please suggest the best way to make this scenario.
Thank you
Mady
Why do you need to reconfigure after that move data files, if it is done properly it should be without data loss.
See you soon

Best place for installing VCenter with a host
Where is the best Traghetti for me installing vCenter when we only have a single host server? I installed version track on a virtual machine, but this doesn't seem to be the safest way to do it. If I lose this virtual machine or the host, I won't have access to the administration. If it was installede on a separate server?
Welcome to the community - by using vCenter to manage a single ESXi host is an exaggeration, since you can manage the ESXi host directly connecting you by using the vSphere client. Given that you can manage the ESXi host directly, it can run on a VM.
You build your environment and add more hosts and implement VMware HA you will continue to be able to run vCenter in a virtual machine, because vCenetr is only used to configure HA and is not required for the failover of the HA.

moving my SQL Server to another host (with vcenter database)
Hi all
I am in progress to improve my environment at ESX4.0. Now I have to move my only SQL server VM to the new host, who is already on ESX4.0 level. My only SQL server hosts the vCenter as database. I don't have a vMotion.
To move my SQL vm, I need to turn it off and then migrate my ESX 4.0 host. The problem: when the SQL Server is disabled, I lose connectivity to the vCenter server and therefore cannot migrate the virtual computer to another host.
Is there a way to fix this, or is my only option to move the virtual machine in question off vCenter SQL database?
The physical files of the VM for SQL server on an iSCSI box and will not change the location of the data store.
Thank you
Edy
Open the browser of data store, right-click right the VM's vmx file and choose "add to the inventory.

Driver SATA required for installing XP on Qosmio G40
Hello
I have Toshiba Qosmio and I want to install windows XP Professional.
But as you know XP does not have the driver for SATA hard drive and it can't see the disk.I have a good program to install the hard disk drivers in Win xp cd, but I don't have the driver.
So I need the driver disc Qosmio G40 hard to ride with the XP CD.If there is no link available to download or any body done before.
Thank you
The key is; Intel Matrix Storage Manager. This Storage Manager contains the necessary SATA drivers.
You can download it from the page of the driver Toshiba (check the other series where the XP driver are available) or from the Intel page.I also recommend the use of the program nLite. You can create a clean XP CD using this software and might include the SATA driver (also, service packs, etc.) for the new CD of XP.
I did it too and it works like a charm.
