I'm trying to find out what the vCenter database consists of what causes it to grow. Also is there a good way to monitor growth so you don't run out of room if you are using SQL Express?
I deployed an OVA the other day and it hosed vCenter because there was no room for it to do its thing. We were on SQL 2005 Express with the 4 GB limit and upgraded to SQL Express 2008 R2 with a 10GB limit to get it going again. We don't want this to happen again and I'm trying to get an idea of how the database functions and what causes it to fill up. We don't want to go with an external database at this point either.
