Microsoft SQL Database Set to Unsupported Compatibility Mode
Causes vCenter Server Installation or Upgrade to Fail
vCenter Server installation with a Microsoft SQL database fails when the database is set to compatibility
mode with an unsupported version.
Problem
The following error message appears:
needed to install and configure vCenter Server with the selected DB. Please correct the following
error(s): %s
Cause
The database version must be supported for vCenter Server. For SQL, even if the database is a supported
version, if it is set to run in compatibility mode with an unsupported version, this error occurs. For example,
if SQL 2008 is set to run in SQL 2000 compatibility mode, this error occurs.
Solution
Make sure the vCenter Server database is a supported version and is not set to compatibility mode with
u
an unsupported version. See the VMware Product Interoperability Matrixes at
