Upgrading a 64-Bit vCenter 4.1 Server with a Local Database to a Remote Database

When upgrading your environment from vCenter Server 4.1 to vCenter Server 5.0, it might also be the right time

to make adjustments to your design decisions. One of those changes might be the location of the vCenter Server

database, where instead of using a local Microsoft SQL Server Express 2005 database, a remote SQL server is

used. In this scenario, we will primarily focus on how to migrate the database. The upgrade of vCenter Server 4.1

can be done in two dierent ways, which we will brieﬂy explain at the end of the migration workﬂow section.

If vCenter Server is currently installed as a virtual machine, we recommended that you create a new virtual

machine for vCenter Server 5.0. That way, in case a rollback is required, the vCenter Server 4.1 virtual machine

can be powered on with a minimal impact on your management environment.
