Hi.. please excuse the noob question but I have a challenge that slightly exceeds my knowledge of vCenter.
We have a V5.0 install of vCenter and its not very well!! in fact its struggling to boot. We have a nice new shiny server to install vCenter5.5 on (only version we can install now!) What are the steps post install to connect to the ESX hosts and are there any gotchas i need to watch out for. I have restored the database from the old server and done the necassary with the SSL side. But how do i change the license from the old server name to the new and what affect will connecting to the host from the new vcenter server have on the environment.
Its a 3 cluster environment with 18 host all together. Will DRS or any other config be affected by pointing the hosts to the new server.
Thanks in advance.. !!
