Hi there,
I am upgrading vCenter 4.0 to 4.1.
This means I am migrating it from a Windows 2003 Server 32-bit machine to a Windows 2008 Server (64-bit).
The problem is vCenter Update Manager (VUM).
Previously, I had the VUM data AND the vCenter data in one single DB.
Now, obviously, we have to split, since Update Manager only supports a 32-bit DSN, whereas vCenter Server requires a 64-bit DSN.
After successfully migrating vCenter 4.1, I am trying to set up VUM again.
I have created a 32-bit DSN pointing to an empty DB (doesn't matter since we didn't actually use it), however during installation there is an error:
If I look at vminst.log it says:

Running vciInstallUtils.exe manually to see a more specific error gives:

(Yes, I have used the correct password I only Xed it out here.)
(I have excluded any special characters (that W2008 would love to have in the password) from the password.)
I guess vim.fault.DatabaseError must have to do with the fact that the new vCenter still looks for the old VUM at the old IP or something like that.
Also, vSphere Clients still show the VUM plugin at version 4.0.0 trying to contact vCenter at the old IP address.
How am I supposed to proceed?
Thanks
JM
