Eleven Connections Appear on the Database Server Even Though the User Set the Maximum Number of Database Connections to a Value Less than Ten

Details

How do I set the maximum database connections to a value less than ten?

Solution

Suppose you enter a value of less than ten database connections in the maximum number field and kill the current connections on the database server. After you restart the VirtualCenter server, the database server still shows eleven connections.

To set the maximum number of database connections to a value less than ten, add an odbc entry within the vpxd tags in the vpxd.cfg file. This file is located in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VMware\VMware VirtualCenter.

The following example sets a value of five maximum connections:

<vpxd><odbc><maxconnections>5</maxconnections><connections>5</connections></odbc></vpxd>

After you modify the vpxd.cfg, restart the VMware VirtualCenter Server service.
 
Note: This issue is fixed in the release of VirtualCenter 2.0.1.
