Hello All,
My vCentre Server (5.0) database has been growing by about 2GB per day for the last few weeks. It was initially on a local SQL Express server, but moved it onto full SQL once it hit the 10GB limit. That was about a week ago - it now stands at about 23GB.
I've tried what's suggested in the follwoing KBs, but still no change.

I've a small vm setup - 5 hosts, about 150 VMs (servers + virtual desktops). The database size calculator in the vSphere client estimates the size would be around 1GB (granted this is only an indication) but it does seem ridiculously big given the intrastructure.
Statistic level is all set to "1" and retention for logs and tasks is set to 15 (was 90 previously).
It's not SQL log files that's consuming the space (had my SQL admin look at the DB)
In terms of additinal modules - i have SRM, vShield, Update manager and NetApp VSC - these were all previously installed before the database size started growing.
Any idea as to where i can look to see what's going on and whats causing the databse to grow so large?
Thanks,
Tom
