New vcenter server but keeping database with nexus 1000v

I have been reading through all the details of migrating to new hardware for the vcenter server with the nexus 1000v.  i wish to avoid doing the vswitch thing.  If I am keeping the same database but just moving to new hardware and possibly new ip address I was hoping to be able to do something along the lines of.
Leave everything as is,
Reinstall vcenter on new server and point to existing database.
reconnect the esx hosts
disconnect the VSM
get the xml from the vsm
install on vcenter server
reconnect the VSM to the new server
all should be good.
From my reading it appears as tho most of the issues are around connecting to a fresh database.
Is there anything wrong with my assumptions??
Regards Justin

I have done this before but I always keep the same name an IP so that I don't have to reconnect each ESXi host and my vSphere Client users don't have to use a different name.
What I do in this scenario is build the new server with a temp name/IP.
Backup the vCenter DB and SSL certs (this is very important).
Power down the old vCenter.
Re-IP/Re-Name the new to match the old.
Copy the SSL certs to the proper location (C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware VirtualCenter\SSL)
Create your DSN and install vCenter using the old DB. The DB will be upgraded.
Your hosts will automatically connect to the new server.

  • I installed indesign CS5 on new macbook pro and keeps freezing with spinning wheel once the app opens. Is there an issue with OS Mav or font issue or a plist I can pull. All other Adobe products work.

    Migration should never be done with any Adobe program.
    If you have done Migration, you have to UNINSTALL first (if even possible) and then download Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool and run that also. When this is done, restart your computer and install the programs from an original Adobe Installer.
    Other question is, if your OS is supporting that version. You can try it, it is not officially supported, but it might work.
    But CC will work, upgrade to CC2014 (without additional cost), use that as it is better anyway.

  • Restore 9i Database to Another Server but Same Database Name

    hi experts,
    This is 9i on Windows.
    I want to restore my RMAN backup from production server to my test server.
    I know the db names have to be the same for RMAN to work.
    Can I restore from my full backup -- test server, then change the db name on the test server? The database name on test needs to be different to prevent someone from accidentally connecting to test but thinking it is production.
    Is this possible to do?
    Again, 9i on Windows.
    Thanks, John

    Hi piontkdd
    I do this in 9i all time, without using duplicate.
    General idea:
    Copy rman backups to test server
    create dummy init.ora with production database name.
    if you want, SET NEWNAME for different filesystem and restore datafiles.
    Recover database. Open database.
    alter database rename global_name to 'whatever'
    shutdown and then mount. use nid.sh to change the DBID and Database name (Can't remember how you do this on windows). shutdown and set up your new spfile/init.ora and change your services with oradim.exe
    could you elaborate the same steps i have the scenario to make sure my production database works fine in case of any disaster , on the production machine itself i have to restore database.

  • Is it possible to create a new table in the master database with SSMS ?

    Hello ,
    I have problems with this thread :
    http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sqlexpress/thread/5153c43b-7844-41c4-a414-d14730abe435/
    If no user database has been created , in SSMS , we can see only the 5 system databases ( master, msdb , tempdb... ).
    Logically , the user should connect automatically on the Master database ( if the user is the same as this used to install a new SQL Server instance, this user should be sysadmin that's to say he/she has all possible permissions and especially dbcreator ).
    Is it true that it is impossible to create a new table on the master database ?
    I have done many researches about this possibility , all I have found is the advice : don't touch to the master database. This database is used to store critical information about the instance and its user databases. Even in the last book of Kalen Delaney
    about SQL Server 2012 Internals , I have found nothing clear about the creation of tables in this database ( and what about the other system databases ? I am excluding tempdb ).
    If someone has an idea about this thread and my questions , I would be thankful for a reply on this thread or on the related thread in the SQL Server Express Forum ( with my poor written English , I am not sure to have poster in a correct and understandable
    way ).
    If you think that this thread is not in the good forum , a moderator of this forum can move this related thread ( I have not done the move as I am not sure which is the good forum Database Engine or Transact-SQL ... )
    Thanks beforehand and have a nice day.
    Mark Post as helpful if it provides any help.Otherwise,leave it as it is.

    >>Logically , the user should connect automatically on the Master database ( if the user is the same as this used
    to >>install a new SQL Server instance, this user should be sysadmin that's to say he/she has all possible permissions and >>especially dbcreator ).
    If you add the current user during the installation you can have it as system admin , or you can add him/her later on
    in SQL Server. BTW regarding dbcreator I have wrote some blog , need to read... :-)
    http://sqlblog.com/blogs/uri_dimant/archive/2010/09/02/be-careful-to-grant-dbcreator-server-role-to-the-user.aspx
    You can (if you have needed permissions) to create objects in master database, usually I create objects for instance maintenance (like rebuild indexes...)

  • New VM Server - Very Slow Performance with QuickBooks

    Hello all,
    Oh the dreaded performance issues!
    Okay we currently have a virtual server hosted with a different company - it has two VPU's and 8GB RAM.  The contract is about to expire so we're switching to a Microsoft Azure VM.  This server is running Windows Server 2008 R2 - main purpose is
    to host QuickBooks Enterprise v15 - with 10 users connecting via RemoteApp and/or RD.
    So for the new Azure server we selected the A3 (4 cores/7GB RAM) option - running Windows Server 2008 R2 - I know old O/S - but still need for now.  We also attached a new 250GB disk for additional storage of data/programs.  The test users noticed
    performance issues right away so we temporarily upgraded it to the A4 option (8 cores/14GB RAM) and although it is better there are still performance issues.  For example to run a statement report in QuickBooks - viewing both connections side-by-side
    - it is 2x faster on the current "live" server we have hosted with the current hosting provider.  On the Azure VM we also tested installing QuickBooks on the C:\ drive and then on the attached 250GB disk - the F:\ drive - same performance results
    on both.  
    This is a new VM...fresh install....just so strange why it would be slower than the 8GB server.
    Does anyone have any ideas on where we can start to troubleshoot this?  
    Thanks so much!

    I understand the performance seen by end users are low. However, do you know what is really wrong? Do you see Azure VM using almost 80% of CPU & RAM, if not adding more RAM & CPU may not really help you.
    - How is the CPU usage of your on-premise node vs Azure VM
    - How is the memory usage of your on-premise node vs Azure VM
    Do you have any specific characteristics for Disk IO requirement? Can you check IOPS on on-premise vs Azure?

  • HT4557 make a new apple id but keep old one

    Authorize her computer for your account.  She can then listen to and use all of the music on her computer.  Authorizing it does not mean that she can purchase using the account, it only gives permission to use the music.

  • Weird syslog format messages with Nexus 1000v

    I'm  trying out the Nexus 1000v, and have the VEM configured to write logs to my  syslog server. The thing is, the messages are in a weird format that my  log management tools cannot parse. Here is an example:
    <189>: 2012 Oct 21 15:22:40 UTC: %VSHD-5-VSHD_SYSLOG_CONFIG_I: Configured from vty by admin on unknown_session
    I found the documentation rather  amusing, where it states "The syslog client functionality is RFC-5424  compliant" - doesn't look like they've even read the RFC! This is closer  to the format of the older (but more often found in the wild,  RFC3164... though not compliant with that either :/
    Anyway,  I guess the main issue here is that the hostname of the 1000v is not  being added to the logs (it is set in my config). Any ideas how I can  fix this?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
         Do you have vCenter install on Win2012 Server? The installation would not continue until you have vCenter installed.

  • VN-Tag with Nexus 1000v and Blades

    Hi folks,
    A while ago there was a discussion on this forum regarding the use of Catalyst 3020/3120 blades switches in conjunction with VN-tag.  Specifically, you can't do VN-Tag with that Catalyst blade switch sitting inbetween the Nexus 1000V and the Nexus 5000.  I know there's a Blade switch for the IBM blade servers, but will there be a similar version for the HP C-class blades?  My guess is NO, since Cisco just kicked HP to the curb.  But if that's the case, what are my options?  Pass-through switches?  (ugh!)

  • Move SSRS engine to new server, but keep same reporting databases

    We have our SQL Server reporting services (2008 R2) setup as follows:
    ServerA: contains the reporting services engine (including the report manager URL, web service URL and so on).
    ServerB: Is the sql server instance that hosts the reporting databases for ServerA (ReportServer and ReportServerTempDB).
    ServerA is EOL and will be replaced by ServerC. I have two questions:
    1. How do we proceed to install Reporting Services on ServerC so that it points to the databases on ServerB.
    2. How do we migrate the reports (and settings) from ServerA to ServerC.  Will this be automatic by pointing ServerC to the exiting databases on ServerB.
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    All reports / Settings are stored in ReportServer database, so if you Keep your database you have nothing to migrate.
    Install SSRS without configuration on the new machine and afterwards do the configurtaion with Point the "ReportServer" database to ServerB.

  • I want to create a new itunes account but keep the content.  Is this possible?

    My family has always used one Itunes account for all devices.  Now it is necessary for us to create a new itunes account.  We want to keep the apps, music etc that we each have now.  How can I do this?  Is this even possible?

    I hope this isn't too wordy but I want to be as clear and explicit as I can for you.
    You can't transfer purchases from one account to another account. Apple doesn't allow it.
    You can continue to use your daughter's Apple ID in order to continue to use the apps that you purchased with her ID and you will need to use her ID and password any time that you want to update those apps. What you do want to avoid is having to download any of those purchased apps again on any other devices - if you create a new Apple ID.
    If you create a new ID and then you sign into her ID in order to download a previous purchase-  you will lock yourself out of the new ID for 90 days and there is nothing that you can do about it. So as long as you do NOT download any past purchases with her ID - you will not lock yourself out of the new ID. So you can keep using the apps that were bought with her ID, you can also update those apps using her ID (you have to sign into her account in Settings>Store) but you can't download past purchases without messing things up with your new ID.
    When you download a past purchase with a different ID - you associate that device with the different ID for 90 days. This is one way that Apple hopes to cut down on pirating of apps - friends using other friends IDs in order to download apps without patting for them.
    This explains it in a little more detail.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4627
    The bottom line is that you can create a new ID, still use her ID - judiciously - but you really want to avoid downloading past purchases with her ID. Transfer all of those purchases into iTunes so that if something happens and you need the purchased content again, you can just sync it again rather than downloading it.
    This explains transferring purchases.

  • Replacing a SQL Server 2005 Express Database with a SQL CE 3.5 database

    I am just googling for the past few days to find out the answer to this problem..
    I have an app developed over few man-years of effort - with vb.net and SQL 2005 Express Db. Now we use VS 2010 sp1 with .net 3.5 sp1.  We have used plain T-SQL commands and the app was performing admirably well. The DB has about forty tables. The data
    volume is about 200 to 300 mb max - but mainly it stays about 50 to 60 mb in many places. We are also using XML data transfers to backup the data.
    Now we want to shift to SQL CE 3.5 or 4.0 - just to avoid the pain of SQL Express download and installation by the users. We have successfully created a 3.5 and 4.0 sdf files. But when we change the connection from a mdf file to the sdf file in the VS2010 settings
    area, it just goes fine - the connection string is accepted and the app starts. But we get the usual error no 26 - unable to locate the database file - and a five line message that it is not able to connect to the sql server.
    Are we missing something ? We have included the sqlce dll in the references.. but just not able to make the app connect to the sdf file..
    All the codes, datasets, adapters, queries are just intact in the app - but just we are not able to connect to the sdf database.
    We would appreciate help in this regard and also in doing a build with SQL Ce with Inno Setup which we have been using so long.
    Finally there is too much of SQL CEs around - but 3.5, 3.5 sp2 and now CE 4.0 seems to be ones to go in for. Which one is really the best for our app - 3.5 or 4.0 ?
    Thanks in advance.

    we change the connection from a mdf file to the sdf file ... All the codes, datasets, adapters, queries are just intact in the app...
    Agree with Erik, just changing the connection string don't work, you have to use data access components from
    System.Data.SqlServerCe Namespace instead of
    System.Data.SqlClient Namespace

  • How to delete messages from IMAP server but keep on computer???

    Hi
    I am using Mail to receive my email messages from the University's IMAP server. My problem is that I need to keep copies of my sent and received emails for archives on my computer but not on the server because space is limited. However, when I check the 'remove messages from server' box in the preferences, it also removes them all from my Mail inbox and sent mail folders. Consequently, I'm constantly needing to go to the server (once a week) and manually delete the messages when my folder is too full and then I lose all of my messages.
    Can someone please tell me how I can keep all of my sent, received and trashed emails on my computer without them being stored on the server?
    thanks
    adam

    Eric is right. An IMAP account is designed specifically to keep email on line, on a server somewhere on the planet. That way you can use any machine anywhere and see your email. A POP account is designed to actually download your email to the specific machine that you are using and remove it from the server. Although there are ways around that...
    So if you want to keep an email on your computer and you want to delete it from the server, you have to make an "On my Mac" mailbox.

  • After an update, I keep getting a pop up that says accessing itunes store. It will let me find music but keeps interupting with the pop up. When I try to buy music it eventually says session timed out, try again

    It will bring up the store but I keep getting interupted by the pop up. I can find music and then when I try to buy it, everything is ok and then it says my session has timed out? I have had itunes on this computer for a couple of years.

    had a lot of trouble with this too. I had tried everything, from the internet time zone changing, restarting computers, physical time zone changing, firewalls, all that, and nothing worked.
    but i just tried this and it worked.
    1. in iTunes, go to Store, then go to authorize computer
    2. sign in with your AppleID, and authorize your computer to purchase iTunes stuff.
    that's it.
    I scoured the internet and found nothing that said that had that as a solution.
    hope it helps

  • Fresh install of OS X Server but keeping data

    Hi,
    I run a family server (Web, e-mail, VPN) from an old MacBook Pro laptop and due to a fair amount of odd errors now appearing in the logs, I'd like to re-install Yosemite, and then OS X Server back on top so I have a fresh configuration, but I want to keep the data, such as user accounts, mail data etc.
    Everything is backed up twice using TimeMachine, once to a NAS and also to a local USB, and I also have a Carbon Copy Cloner bootable image on the USB Drive too, so I'm covered on the backup side. I also have a bootable Yosemite USB thumb-drive I can use for the install.
    What would be the recommended approach to doing this please?

    Starting up into Safe Mode does three things to simplify the startup and operation of your computer:
    * It forces a directory check of the startup volume.
    * It loads only required kernel extensions (some of the items in /System/Library/Extensions).
    * In Mac OS X 10.3.9 or earlier, it runs only Apple-installed startup items (some of the items in /Library/StartupItems and /System/Library/StartupItems - and different than login items).
    * Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger only: It disables all fonts other than those in /System/Library/Fonts .
    * Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger only: It moves to the Trash all font caches normally stored in /Library/Caches/com.apple.ATS/(uid)/ , where (uid) is a user ID number such as 501.
    * Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger only: It disables all startup items and any Login Items.
    Since it works in safe mode, one of these has to apply. You can also try to "zero" the hard drive and then install. I've had an external HDD, where I had to do that, before the install would take.
    I hope this helps...
