Hello Tomhacker,
This looks to be a issue with permissions or failed to export the data.
Can you login to the vCenter as a local administrator and perform the upgrade. Please share us the results.
Thanks,
MS
Hello MS,
I think it is not an premission Problem.
I am upgrading with the local admin user.
Administrator@vsphere.local
When I start the upgrade, he wants a user to log on.
This is the local vSphere Admin User.
The user is checked and the upgrade continues. Until the error message comes.
I also run the vCenter with the local admin user. Have no problems with it.
Thanks,
Tom
Hello Tom,
Thanks for the update.
May I know the memory provided to vCenter 6.0 and also the inventory size of the vCenter (number of hosts and vms)
Thanks,
MS
Hello MS,
The vCenter runs on a Windows machine with 4 CPUs and 16GB of RAM. Network is 10Gbit.
There are 4 hosts and 15 VMs.
The database is a postgres.
Thanks,
Tom
Hello,
If I want to upgrade to the appliance, the same error message comes.
Message comes in the cmd window.
Thanks,
Tom
Hello Tom,
Sorry for the delayed reply..
Can you share the log file C:\ProgramData\vCenterServer\logs\firstboot\vpostgres-firstboot.py_XXXX_stderr.log and also the vpostgres-firstboot.py_XXXX_stdout.log
Also, Before clicking on "Ok" on the popup, can you go to the %ProgramData%/VMware/vCenterServer/export/ and check if the database file/folder size is changing when you receive the popup. If yes, I request you to do not click on okay and wait until it stops growing.
Thanks,
MS
Hello Tom,
Once you terminate the upgrade, you will get the zip file and under the zip file, you can find the logs under vcs_logs folder.
Thanks,
MS
Hello MS,
The folder vcs_log is very large. Ca. 5GB.
Which subfolder is required?
Thanks,
Tom
