1.1 VDR and large VMDK

I'm trying the 1.1 VDR in my environment but have not been able to find an answer to this on the forums or in the docs.

I have a guest Win2k8 in one of my data centers that has a 2 TB drive and a 1.6 to drive.

According to the docs, each camera VDR can only support two 1 TB dedupe readers. The questions are:

(1) when you save the VMDK big two attached to the guest, will be the backup on the second disc of deduplication tape, when the first is full?

(2) I guess I will need two separate devices for VDR to save this virtual machine (one for each reader comments), is that correct?

(3) is there a way to bypass the 1 TB limit, or would this cause performance / stability of data issues?

(4) I know that some are of the view that the Active Directory domain controllers should not be taken.  This virtual Win2k8 machine is a domain controller.  Any of you feel you could be a particular concern for the initial backup full?

Thanks in advance,

VEEI

#1: No.

#2: not necessarily.  To and 1.6 to 2 disks are full?  If they are full, the, little probable that you will be able to save them with VDR given destination disk limits

#3: the 1 TB is a soft limit based on tests we did.  Note that this assumes that the destination disk is a vmdk.  Note that the data store for the destination disk VDR must have the size of VMFS block (or longer).

#4: I'll let the other carillon on their experience with DC/snapshot backups

  • Connection usb to esxi host and copy vmdk

    Hello

    I'm trying to migrate a vSphere cluster to another machines.  There is no network connectivity between the 2, so I intend to copy the files vmdk and vmx more via USB directly connected to the host for thoroughput max.  Anyone tried this?  I looked in the documentation and online, and I see that the only supported file systems FAT32 and ext3.  For a 40 GB virtual computer, can I use an ext3 formatted USB key, copy locally and then USB attach themselves to a host on the new cluster and copy?  Anyone see any problems with this?  We are doing this process via a USB port connected to a position of the user and SCPing between the host and the USB port on the network.  I think that cutting the transfer network will speed up the process, currently a 40-50 GB VM takes about 3 hours

    Hello

    I understand that you can read in what she argued, however...

    If there is a KB article while this does not mean that it is supported, it simply means that it is possible and you might be able to use it if the need is high enough. For example, in case of problems you can risk some stability/performance and fix the most urgent problem at hand, as a critical VM that was on a LUN which disappeared earlier that day there so that you only restore backup on a USB drive.

    Also note the supplement "additional note" at the bottom of the KB that you are facing

    Quote (my highlighting):

    More information

    The USB key must be a minimum of 4 GB in size. This procedure is not recommended for basic file transfers.

    This procedure includes steps on disabling the intercom USB host function. Then earlier in the article that they use the same feature to connect the USB drive to the guest.

    If this isn't everything, they use the DCUI for mode of tech support that their link in an article KB1017910 to using the console is already a bit dodgy on a production host. About using the console for day-to-day operations is a no No

    Another quote, this time from this KB article, underscores once again with me.

    Tech Support Mode

    Tech Support Mode (TSM) provides a command line interface that can be used by the Administrator to troubleshoot and correct abnormal conditionson hosts VMware ESXi. TSM is accessible in two ways:

    • Connecting directly to the ESXi Server console.
    • Remote SSH connection.

    Further down in this article, it is pointed out again that it is for support only, I would say is something different as 'supported environment.

    It does not mean that you can not and never use should the DCUI, but be careful.

    Back on the focus to what you're trying to do.

    If your USB drive is broken, you now have a hypervisor that attempts to mount it to the level of the hypervisor, which, in itself, can cause downtime at the level of the hypervisor risks of release for ALL your guests. USB transfer at least maintains these problems located in the virtual machine, it is attached to.

    Besides that... the only system files that you can mount is VFAT, so you can't even put files there that are larger than 2 GB (or 4 GB) in size.

    File systems ext2/ext3/ext4 that none of those who are supported, VFAT only for your external USB drive.

    Yes there are ways around the VFAT file size limit too, but you're just jumping through the next pole, and if something's not going then your users is satisfied by the retoric "but backups are faster".

    You still need the nd - 000001.vmdk 0 it contains your latest work.

  • format hard drive for windows and larger files, TV supports

    Hello

    pls suggest me with the solution to the following problem.

    I need to know what format of hard drive works with mac, windows, & TV too, even for large files and quality bluray movies

    FAT32 only supports files up to a maximum size of 4 GB, which would be certainly much too small for Blu - Ray quality media.

    exFAT supports files of unlimited size effectively, Mac and Windows can read and write to exFAT to format external drives but neither can boot from such a unit. If a TV or other system supports exFAT drives, you need to check yourself formatted.

    NTFS supports files of unlimited size indeed, Mac can only read NTFS, it cannot format or write to NTFS, unless you get an add-on. Of course Windows supports NTFS. Again, you will need to check if your TV etc supports NTFS. If you want to add full support for NTFS to a Mac, I recommend this - https://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/

    HFS + is the current format of Apple and new supports files of unlimited size effectively. Mac can of course read, write and format disks. Does not support the Windows as a standard HFS +, but still, you can buy an add-on for Windows Add this feature. It is extremely unlikely that a TV would support HFS +. If you want to add full support for HFS + for Windows, take a look at this - http://www.mediafour.com/software/macdrive/

    There are also other formats of disc for example ZFS and BTRFS, Ext3, Ext4 and soon SATF, but in this case, they are not relevant.

    Note: as indicated above, in many cases, I said 'actually unlimited', it is of course a limit, but one so great that he will strike you not for individual files, including Blu - Ray or even files UltraHD (4 k).

  • Memory and large paintings

    I'm supposed to work on the code for a lab, and they reported possible problems with labVIEW eating through memory on long experience.  Someone in front of me tried to solve the problem, but I'm not sure if it's really help.  (I'm more familiar with languages such as C++ and did not use LabVIEW until this summer).

    Where I think that the problem is with the table (in a loop).  Based on the experience that the tables will be different sizes so how they manage the table is:

    -> It is a picture of a cluster of 2 elements

    -> The table is connected to a shift register.

    -> Change of registry is initialized before the opening loop by plugging in the shift register to a cluster of 2 '0 ".

    -> Each cycle loop they add new (a new cluster) data in the table on 'building the matrix '.

    There are several of these paintings, all being drawn so that they use 'building Cluster Array' and then this thread to the corresponding parcel (a XY Chart).  They use this after 'building the table '.

    This used to be, so the berries would expand and crash the program.  Anyone who added me an option to clear the tables, but I'm not sure if the way she conceived him actually free the memory since they are still a few problems.  The user enters a number in a control "become clear:  At each iteration that is a multiple of this number, the program passes the register shift an array containing a single element.  The table happened to put in place the same as the array passed to the initialization process.

    My concern is that code says never specifically delete the table or free the memory.  It feels very similar to the situation in C++ when the programmer dynamically creates a table (again) but never releases the table (using delete), instead, they just change where the pointer points.  He memory would be always linked towards the top and unusable.

    So I guess my question is, looking at the process above should use "remove table" to free the memory and let the program runs faster on longer experiences with large sets of data or makes labVIEW automatically deallocate this memory and so I should I should I look elsewhere in my program for the process that would slow down everything on experiences longer?

    Thank you

  • Question on NAS200 and large amount of data to him.

    Hi all

    I have a Linksys NAS 200 on my home LAN.  It is connected via a 1.1 WRT300N wireless router.  I have my computer connected to the router via a cable (not wireless).  I am running windows XP Media center SP3 on a HP duel core processor computer.

    My problem is that I'm trying to move a large number of media to a failed drive on my computer to a drive on the NAS 200.  There are about 1.3 TB of info and when I try to copy in windows Explorer it takes forever and consumes a lot of time my computer CPU.

    Are other than copying small amounts of these data over time as 3-5 gb each night there other options?  Maybe a program that works like a web browser download manager?  I'm not too good with FTP solutions, but maybe it would work, but I don't know how to set up.  Could this be something with how I set up my router?  I use my router as my firewall and my computer does not have a firewall.  It has spyware doctor and Ad-Aware of protection running.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Steve

    Robocopy has an option to limit the bandwidth network, this will also limit the CPU usage (both on your Windows machine and the NAS).

    For others, try Googling "windows copy bandwidth limit" or "copy windows limit UC" (without the quotes).

  • WMP 12 and large MP4 movie files

    I use WMP 12 as a server that is running Windows Storage Server 2008-R2 Essentials which is fully updated with Microsoft Updates. My drive configuration is the C 60 GB with 31,67 GB free drive and the car has just been defragmented and a free D 12 to 6 to Reader & 6 TB used never defragmented. I have 3 types of video/movie files that include wmv loaded. MPG and mp4. Most of the time my file sizes range from very small, a few MB, to larger sizes a little less than 9 GB. Recently I tried to load videos that extend into the 13 GB to about 20 GB in size. Although these files appear in the windows Explorer, they don't show in the list of folder/file WMP. All these files are mp4 but I have other mp4 is responsible and they play very well.

    Anyone know what is happening? WMP 12 has problems with i.e. large mp4 files those beyond 8 GB? WMP 12 has a restriction of file size? If there is a restriction that is a registry setting and can it be changed?

    Any ideas would be welcome.

  • The OTA installation and large. COD files

    Hi, I'm new to the Blackberry development. I am developing a small image editing app for Blackberry and planning to distribute them using my site (OTA). The problem is that my .cod file size is about 500 KB. I've searched the forums and some suggested to break large cod in several smaller files of the Cod. But exactly how do I do this? Thank you

    All you need to do is open the COD file in a program like WinZip archive and extract the files.  It's just a zip of the rest of your COD files.  Note that the cod inside firstsibling file will have the same name as the parent COD file, so make sure that extract you it in a different directory.  If you use the BlackBerry Java plug-in for Eclipse, all you need to do is deploy the files in the directory JAD.

  • On the virtual machines of small, medium and large

    I've seen in many demos and presentations that the GUI offers of deployment of small, medium or large VMs. Can we get more details around this? These predetermined formats are? If so, who determines their - Evo seller or VMware? So customizable, y at - it a specific range, they can be customized to the breast (small to have not more than 2 vCPUs, medium to have not more than 4 vCPUs, etc..)? What happens if a virtual machine that never falls not into one of the three pre configured standards must be built?

    REDA

    Raj,

    Thanks for the question. To answer. They are predefinied... and that they are set by VMware (not the partner) and they are defined in the interface user Evo.

    Currently, it is not a custom option or the possibility of custom settings - if someone wanted a personalized, virtual computer they could open the vSphere Web Client or vSphere Client Desktop on vCenter and set them in a conventional way...

    Concerning
