Hello everybody
I'm trying to upgrade from vCenter 5.1 to 5.5 on a freshly installed VM. So the clean installation in simple mode went fine, I've got everything up and running that I need, SSO, Web Client, Inventory Service and vCenter Server. But how can I import the data from my old 5.1 VIM_VCDB database?
I've tried the SQL Server Import and Export Wizard, that was installed along with the vCenter Server and the SQL 2008 Express databe, but I get several errors:
- Validating (Error)

Can anybody help me out on this? I would really like to have a clean install instead of an in-place upgrade?
Thanks a lot in advance and have a good weekend!
