Creating 32-bit DSN to the vCenter database

When you create a DSN on an out-of-the-box Windows Server 2008 R2system, the DSN is created as a 64-bit object, whereas the vCenter installer

will only be looking for 32-bit DSNs. In order to create a 32-bit DSN on your

64-bit Windows Server 2008 R2 server, you need to download and install the

SQL Server Native Client on your server and use the new clients utilities to

create the DSN. Although youre installing the 64-bit package, this is only

because youre installing the tool to a 64-bit operating system; the package

includes a method to create 32-bit DSNs. Once you download the package,

install it.

Next, go to Start and, in the Search box, type odbcad32. Select the

odbcad32 option under the Programs heading to run this utility.

This is a 32-bit version of the ODBC Data Source Administrator utility; in this

utility, create a System DSN that points to your vCenter database. To do so,follow these steps:

1. Select the System DSN tab.

2. Click the Add button.

Native Client. Click

4. When prompted, provide a name and description of the new System

DSN and indicate

on which SQL Server the vCenter database resides. Click on Next.

5. Click on Next. For my example, Ive used windows authentication. On

the authentication

page, choose the authentication method most appropriate for your

use. Here I have

enabled the option With Integrated Windows authentication and

also selected the

option Connect to SQL Server to obtain default settings for the

additional configuration

options. Click on Next.

6. Enable the option Change the default database to the database that you

have already

Created. Click on next.

7. Click on Finish.

connectivity is fine then you

Will get the test result as successful (as shown below)
