vCenter Databases

[Brandon7a]

I am in the process of migrating my vCenter database to our SQL VM. When I go to SQL Server Management Studio Express on the current database server, I see 2 databases that I'm not familiar with. They are called ReportServers$VMWARE and ReportServers$VMWAREtempDB. Their sizes are 4MB and 3MB. Does anyone know what these are and if they need migrated as well? There is no ODBC listed for them.

Thanks

AFAIK, these are not related to your VCDB instances. The only thing that gets created are the rollup jobs. So, in process of migration you only need to DB instance and the jobs.

My guess is they are queries created by a DBA
