Hey all,
We are attempting to migrate a vCenter 5.0 server to VCSA 6.7. everything worked well until we got to 5% in the "Set up target vCenter Server and start services" portion. The install just seems to hang there. I have gone through the logs I could find and the only issue that stands out to me is this in `/var/log/vmware/sso/gclogFile.0.current`
I have googled around and applied the `/etc/hosts` fix found here https://cstan.io/?p=8962&lang=en and it does not make a difference. I come here having exhausted all my options found online.
We are migrating from a vCenter server with an embedded PSC and just one instance(no linked clones) and an external MSSQl database. I have a feeling the fix is increasing the JVM heap size but I cannot seem to find where I wood do that.
try this
In a Web browser, navigate to https://VCSA_IP:5480.
vmware kb 2066099
Thanks for the tip but we are still going through the initial migration process so the we UI is not available. All we see is the installer progress. I did find this VMware Knowledge Base and not eh service seems to be running. `service-control --status vmware-sts-idmd` shows the service as running but the installer is still stuck at 5%
Any idea how to get it to see that the service has started? Or does service-control report it as running but it is actually not running? We have rebooted the VM a few times, does that essentially freeze the install? The first time we rebooted it, we were told to do so by the installer.
5% stuck not an error let it be continue do not cancel, some time it takes 3-4 hours
if any error comes give me screen shot
We waited and it did not move. So we decided to start over and it worked. The 2 thing we did differently were:
We hypothesize that the migration process does not handle the VCSA being rebooted too well.
What is build number of running VCSA
