  • 1.  VCenter Backend-SQL-DB Maintenance

    Posted Jul 29, 2013 03:09 PM

    Hi Guys,

    we have our Vcenter (4.1.0 Build 491557) DB running on a remote MS-SQL-Server. For a planned System-Maintenance the SQL Server will not be available for one hour during that time, unfortunately sad but true :-(

    To make sure that VCenter is not trying to use its DB during that time, I plan to shutdown all VCenter Services before the DB-Maintenancae Window starts. After the SQL-DB is back online I would simply

    start-up the VCenter Services again.

    What do you think about this approach? Is this feasible? Do I miss anything?

    Hope to hear from you....Andy

    You are on right track :

    Start the VC service

    Do the maintenance on the SQL server

    Once done, check the connectivity and start the VC service.
