Hi,
We tried to move vc database from old sql server to a new one (as subject says), but after moving database, created a new odbc connection virtualcenter process won't start and
event log says: The VMware VirtualCenter Server service terminated with service-specific error 2 (0x2).
Any ideas how to debug / solve this?
Thanks.
Verify permissions of your user on the SQL database. You might have to assign it SA - System Administrator privileges.

The database user needs to have dbo rights on VC database as well as MSDB.
Open a dos prompt on the virtual center server, cd into the install folder, and run virtual center in console mode 'vpxd -s'
This should give you additional debug output. Post the output.

You can't simply move it, you have to upgrade it via the VC upgrade.
2000 and 2005 are different and you can't move the data, you have to perform a database upgrade.
How do you mean : 'you have to upgrade it via the VC upgrade' ... I think VC 2.5 is the latest version, isn't it?
