HI guys
im installing 5.5 VC using a script - SSO / Inventory service install fine but VC isnt working - it installs ok but the service wont start
Here is what i am doing
$exe = "Z:\vCenter-Server\VMware-vcserver.exe"
$args = '/w /L1033 /v" /qr'
$args = $args + ' INSTALLDIR=D:\'
$args = $args + ' DB_SERVER_TYPE=Custom'
$args = $args + ' DB_DSN_WINDOWS_AUTH=1'
$args = $args + ' VC_ADMIN_USER=Administrator '
$args = $args + ' DB_DSN=vCenterServer '
$args = $args + ' FORMAT_DB=1 '
$args = $args + ' JVM_MEMORY_OPTION=M '
$args = $args + ' SSO_ADMIN_USER=administrators@vsphere.local '
$args = $args + ' SSO_ADMIN_PASSWORD="MLtre2!!!
$args = $args + ' LS_URL=https://testsso.local:7443/lookupservice/sdk '
$args = $args + ' IS_URL=https://testsso.local:10443 '
write-host $exe $args -Wait
start-process $exe $args -Wait
Pause
The logs tell me that the service wont start because it cant log into the DSN - however i am using windows authentication and when i run a test connection in the dsn then it connects just fine.
If i use a different username and password created in sql and also use the DB_USERNAME and DB_PASSWORD paramaters then vc wont install at all and i get an error at the end when installing vCenter Service directory services instance
ANy ides ?
