Could you please post videos on vSphere 5 as well..

Further to that, I was wondering if anyone can point me to the right direction on where and how I can get a hold of all these softwares. It appears that VMWare site itself is asking for a price on VCenter. Besides, I also noticed ESX5 released. How different is that from 4.0?

Thanks again.

Many thanks for your effort in creating this excellent video – I had a query about the dsn sequence while I was installing and your video answered the question straight away.

Many thanks and keep up the excellent work. Execellent wallpaper too as has been commented by previous viewers.

Thanks for your comment. If you are installing the SQL server that comes with vCenter, then no you don’t need to do anything, vCenter will take care of that (please note that this is meant for small environments, probably less than 100VM)

If you are installing yourself a complete SQL installation on the same vCenter server, then yes you still need to do the DSN setup.

Hope this helps.

I want to know that if we are installing sql server locally than do we required to dsn?

First: Thank you very much for the great video thanks to this I have a better idea on how I will proceed with my vsphere4 environment. Additionally the mp3 music is great for it! normally some videos do not have such a cool music hahaha.

Second: I will be doing the installation on a windows 2003 ent. sp2 64bit and the database I will be installing is the M$SQL 2005 ent. 64bit. What components should I install to get the vsphere4 working properly

I am at the setup installation screen with the check mark squares options and I need to select the services I want to install =>
-sql server database services
-analisys services
-reporting services
-notification services
-integration services
-workstation components, books online and development tools.

Do I need all of them for vcenter vsphere4?

Third: Since this is a fresh install, should I name the instance (for easy identification) or should I click default?

Fourth: I am recording the whole installation process using camtasia software, so I would like to publish a video where people can the process of installing the MS SQL server 2005 in this case. You basically have the most important part in your video but the installation of the MS SQL I think is important as well. Otherwise people will run into all kind of errors in the future. Again I am setting up vcenter vsphere4 with the database in a different server using a full version of MS SQL server 2005 64bit.

For now these are all my questions after I finish the installation I may have some other questions and suggestions. Again great work and I am willing to do things similar so others can benefit from it like I am benefiting from your video.

Thank you again and hope to see you publishing other videos.

Sincerely,

As per the wallpaper, I completely forgot about it, but I’ll try to make the hi-resolution version this weekend and send it over to you & Jose at the first comment.

Regards,

Thanks for nice video once again
