Hi folks forgive me ahead of time as I am fairly new to vmware world but have some experience with it and really like it. Anyways in short I've got 3 ESXi hosts one of them hosting a virtual machine which is running vCenter. My question is can I create a brand new virtual machine and install vCenter on it and easily connect all my hosts to it to I can manage? Do away with the current server that's running vCenter?
My main problem is that I am trying to upgrade update manager and I get all sorts of errors about SQL Server. This server is an older server and has SQL version of 2005 and also 2008 R2 Express on it. I also tried to update vCenter to 5.1 but get a bunch of errors that are difficult to troubleshoot. So my thinking was start fresh but didn't know how difficult it was to do.Below is some info:
ESXi hosts versions 5.0.0, 1311175
vCenter Version 5.0.0, 37933
Update Manager 5.0.0, 11856
Thanks so much in advance for your time and help!
