Best Practices

• If you want to reuse your current environment, go to the vCenter Server and recreate the system DSN. If you

prefer to keep this, go to the new vCenter Server and create a new system DSN.

– Open the ODBC Data Source Administrator.

– Click the System DSN tab.

– Remove the listed VMware VirtualCenter system DSN entry.

– Add a new system DSN using the Microsoft SQL Server Native Client. If this option is not available,

– Provide a name for the new system DSN, a description and the IP address or DNS name for the

SQL Server. Click Next.

– Depending on the SQL Server conﬁguration, use the correct type of authentication and click Next.
