Migrate vCenter 6 Postgres DB to SQL

Hi guys,

we're getting close to the limits of Postgres (vCenter 6 on Windows) and so I'm looking for a way to migrate to an dedicated SQL Server DB (SQL 2012).

Couldn't find anything yet on the web.

Thanks for your help!

Google returned couple of PostgreSQL-MSSQL converters. None of them is tested and approved by VMware.

What limits do you refer to? Are you having performance issues? What's the size of your inventory?

Hi Thomas,

I'm in the same boat, did you have any solution so far?

I wonder if we could use linked mode to do this:

- Build an external Platform Service Appliance

- Build a VCSA (recommended since the limits are magnitudes higher than your Windows based vcenter)

- Link the new PSC to original vcenter's embedded platform service controller

- Remove the original vcenter

This is just a theory, should be tested in a lab and/or confirmed by vmware..

Cheers,

Peter
