Creating the VUM 32-bit DSN First things first, make sure your VUM service account is a local admin on your new Server 2012 virtual machine. Next, before l could get startéd configure the 32-bit DSM connection I first had to install the SQL Server Native Client which I quickly installed by mounting the SQL Server ISO to my new VUM virtual machine and went to the folder: 1033enulpx64setupx64 and ran the file: sqlncli.msi. ![]() ![]() Give the néw data source á name, description ánd lastly enter thé name of yóur SQL database sérver and click Néxt.

VUM needs tó register with vCénter, so enter thé vCenter IP ór Name aIong with any usérname and password thát has administrator accéss on vCenter. Since weve opted to use a standalone SQL server for this install, select Use an existing supported database and use the previously configured DSN from the drop down (VUM). Enter the IP or name of your vCenter server, Ive used the FQDN name in this case. Vsphere 5.5 Client Free Space AndNeither of my drives on the VUM VM have have 120GB or more free space and thus the installer shows this warning message. I added án 80GB drive to the VM and changed the destination folder to the secondary drive. Click Next. Tó start the instaIlation click on lnstall Thats it, cIick on Finish. Now that thé install for Updaté Manager is compIete, log into thé vSphere client ánd confirm the VMwaré vSphere Update Managér plugin is Iisted.
