Hi all,
I'm trying to upgrade a vCenter 4.1u1 installation to vCenter 5 but keep running into the following error:
Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
I've taken a look at these log files but wasn't able to find the specific reason for this.It seems that the setup gives up when the Tomcat service fails to start, and the reason for Tomcat not starting is vCenter service not being able to start. When I try to start the vCenter service manually from the Services MMC, I get "Error 1067: The process terminated unexpectedly".
I've tried uninstalling vCenter completely and going for a clean install while using the same upgraded database and it still fails. Clean installs with vCenter's bundled SQL Server 2008 R2 Express or an empty DB on my database server go through without a problem, but this is not of much use to me, as I would like to keep my old vCenter DB.
vCenter runs on Windows 2008 R2 SP1 machine, while the database is running on MS SQL Server 2008 SP1 and I'm connecting to the DB as the sa SQL Server user.
I have attached the last few lines from the aforementioned log files (with **XXX** replacing some information not relevant for troubleshooting).
Thanks for your help
