Error 25003: Setup failed to create vcenter repository

[venkatesh710]

Hi Folks,

             I am trying to install VCenter Server 5.0 in windows server 2008. I have created a standalone vm for sql server 2008 R2 and created a database (vcenterdb) for vcenter repository.

             ODBC conncetion configured and tested the successful conncetion in VCenter machine and started the VCenter installation.

While installing VCenter i have mentioned the ODBC database (vcenterdb) and proceeded. During the installation i got a  warning message and installation got failed with following error.

"Error 25003: Setup failed to create vcenter repository"

I gone through the kb , but no luck to solve this issue.

Installation Parameters:

User Name : DomainName\Administartor

Database : Use existing supported database - choosed created ODBC dB

Any suggessions to fix it ?

Warning:

Fully qualified domain name can not be resoved . If you continue the installaion, some of the features might not work

Thanks,

Venkat

From the log, vCenter Server service could not be sarted because database connectivity lost. Please check the database is accessible and make sure , the database user has dbo role assigned to vc database and msdb database.

Thanks iamsiju

I have enabled all the permisions for Domain\Adminstrator. But same issue caused.So i have created a new user in db and assigned all permissions to that user.

Now i have installed vcenter by using the new user created.

Is there any difficulty by using a user which is not a Local Administrator ?

Thanks,

Venkatesh
