Having migrated the vCenter 5.1 Database from one MS SQL 2008 to another (neither are SQL Express, neither are/were co-located with vCenter) we seem to be getting the persistent error message on the old MS SQL server
2013-03-19 10:48:50.11 Logon Login failed for user 'vim_XXX'. Reason: Failed to open the explicitly specified database. [CLIENT: 172.173.174.175]
2013-03-19 10:48:50.13 Logon Error: 18456, Severity: 14, State: 38.
172.173.174.175 is the vCenter Server. vim_XXX is an obfuscation for our actual DB user (HINT: it does begin with vim_)
Seems to be related to performance charts, but I updated the DSN? where else might I look. Also, i suspect that the original installer used the SQL Express embedded installer, then migrated the databases to the enterprise MS SQL Server.
Ideas? Thanks,
