Hi All,
I recently moved our vCenter installation to another server "vCenterServer" from the original server "Win12-ban", I have left the database on "Win12-ban" and created a DSN on "vCenterServer" which tests successfully when connecting into the database from the "vCenterServer" database. When I originally set this all up it worked a dream, I was originally using my own domain account to start the service (rather than the local system account), but now none of these accounts will start the service. I really want to be using the local account as I want to be able to see performance stats within vcenter.
The error message I get when trying to start the service is:
Followed by this in the event viewer:
| Log Name: | Application |
| Source: | VMware VirtualCenter Server |
| Date: | 06/01/2014 09:29:28 |
| Event ID: | 1000 |
Task Category: None
| Level: | Error |
| Keywords: | Classic |
| User: | N/A |
| Computer: | vCenterServer. |
The description for Event ID 1000 from source VMware VirtualCenter Server cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.
If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.
The following information was included with the event:
Error getting configuration info from the database
I have tested the DSN from the machine with vCenter installed and it tests successfully, which suggests there is a connection from the vCenter Server to the database, has anyone encountered similar issues?
