Re: vCenter 5 install : Could not connect to DB with specified JDBC URL

$

Hi All,

 

I am in no way a DBA and to be honest this is the first time ever dealing with SQL 2012. I've chosen for future reasons to install an independant copy of SQL Server 2012 rather than installing the 2008 R2 version that comes with Vcenter. Yes I know this is a bigger headache but I'd rather do this the hard way to learn more.

 

Obviously this Vcenter installation has been frought with endless errors and late nights scouring forums for answers.

 

So as this SQL server 2012 is a seperate install I managed to solve the DSN problem and then not surprisingly two steps later I get another headache.....

"Please enter the JDBC URL for the VCenter server Database". When I got to this section the field was already blank and again left stumped even after checking the many possibilities of where I'm supposed to point this.

 

Can someone please help me fill in the gaps....

 

#jdbc:sqlserver://host;databaseName=database

My FQDN or host name for my machine is: SQLServer2012@domain.co.uk

My SQL Server 2012 database name: SQLServer2012

DSN name: Vcenter

I have no idea what "=database" is.

If I'm completely running down a wrong path any help would be appreciated :-)

Thanks
