Upgrading vCenter Server to 5.1 fails if the indexes detailed in this KB article are still present in the database. To ensure a successful upgrade, remove these indexes by performing these steps:
- Connect to the vCenter Server database using the SQL Management Studio.
- Run this SQL statement against the vCenter Server database:
drop index VPXI_BULLETIN_GEN_IDX on VPX_PROPERTY_BULLETIN;
drop index VPXIV_BULLETIN_MOID_IDX on VPX_PROPERTY_BULLETIN;
To re-create the index, run this SQL statement against the vCenter Server database:
CREATE INDEX VPXI_BULLETIN_GEN_IDX on VPX_PROPERTY_BULLETIN(GEN_NUMBER);
