Hi
Yesterday I tried to upgrade my vSphere Server 4.0 to vSphere Server 5.1.
To accomplish I need to install the Single Sign On Server first.
After 3h I finally got the installation done, but I did a rollback because I'm not happy with the result at all.
I want to install the SSO Service database on a shared mssql database instance (root instance), and there for rename it.
As I already stated I got the installation to work, so all my settings and components are ok, the reason the installation failed must have something to do with me trying to use alternative database and user name.
Has anyone accomplished to install the server with customized database names?
Here are my scripts:
(and yes I did change the Change Me Line of course)
rsaIMSLiteMSSQLSetupTablespaces.sql
USE MASTERGOCREATE DATABASE VCSSO ONPRIMARY( NAME='VCSSO_DATA', FILENAME='C:\CHANGE ME\VCSSO_DATA.mdf', SIZE=10MB, MAXSIZE=UNLIMITED, FILEGROWTH=10%),
FILEGROUP VCSSO_INDEX( NAME='VCSSO_INDEX', FILENAME='C:\CHANGE ME\VCSSO_INDEX.ndf', SIZE=10MB, MAXSIZE=UNLIMITED, FILEGROWTH=10%)
LOG ON( NAME='translog', FILENAME='C:\CHANGE ME\translog.ldf', SIZE=10MB, MAXSIZE=UNLIMITED, FILEGROWTH=10% )GO
-- Set recommended performance settings on the databaseALTER DATABASE [VCSSO] SET AUTO_SHRINK ONGOALTER DATABASE [VCSSO] SET RECOVERY SIMPLEGO

Im actullay a little bit disappointed by vmware, because I work with your products for about 11 years now and I was always very pleased with the quality.
But things like "that there are only alphanumeric characters in the database name" makes me wondering, actually I like to use DB names like "customer_product_feature" but that does not seems to be supported
