I am about to upgrade from ESXi 5.0 U2 to 5.1. I am running the vCenter Server Database Pre-Upgrade Checker as a pre-step, and it is failing. Regardless of whether I run 32 or 64 bit checker, and regardless of whether I choose the ODBC or Credentials type of check..
vCenter OS=Win 2008 R2; DB = SQL 2008 R2 in a named instance, on a remote server.
I am using ODBC as connection type, and am using the name I see in ODBC, and the correct SQL sa user and password. But it fails. Even if I use the "Credentials" option, it still fails. I will attach the logs - both complain about failing to create a file.
vCenter Server version = 5.0.0 Build 804277
The log shows: (snipped)
Signature file path: C:\Users\admin\Documents\64bit-check.xml-signature20130410141806.xml
Message output file path: C:\Users\admin\Documents\64bit-check.xml-message20130410141806.txt
