Troubleshooting a View Composer Database Upgrade Failure
When you upgrade the View Composer service with the View Composer installer or run the SviConfig
databaseupgrade command, the operation might fail to upgrade the View Composer database.
Problem
The SviConfig databaseupgrade operation displays error code 17, or the View Composer installer displays a
warning message.
Database upgrade completed with warnings
Cause
The database-upgrade software contacts vCenter Server to get additional data about desktops. The database
upgrade might fail if the desktops are not available, the ESXi host is not running, or vCenter Server is not
available.
