• backup of vSphere Data Protection failure

  Hi all

  I configured vSphere Data Protection 5.5 on my environment.

  Installation was ok and I configured a backup job.

  Tasks fail on all machines with

  Error 10055: VixDiskLib_Open attempt to connect to the virtual disk is not

  < host application of data protection > - proxy - 7

  ESXi Server Version is 4.1

  vCenter Version 5.5

  Anyone here an idea of what is wrong?

  Any help would be great.

  Thank you and best regards,

  Gernot

  The issue was the configuration of the network.

  The host esx server was not accessible by the POS Server (but the vCenter was).

• Download of understanding 'Download VMware vSphere Data Protection 6.0 - Open Source'

  Can someone explain to my what download "VMware vSphere Data Protection 6.0 - Open Source" actually offers?

  His text is 'Open Source Code for VMware vSphere Data Protection 6.0' and the OpenSource_VDP_6.0.0.zip ZIP file contains files like commons-validator - 1.4.0 - sources.jar (Apache Commons Validator).

  I guess that it may just be a reference of what free software was used for the construction of POS, but what is the practical use for this download all custmers?

  Thanks for me, illuminating Tom

  VMware, as virtually every software development company, incorporates certain open existing in their own proprietary source code. More open source licenses like the popular GNU General Public License (GPL) legally require you must publish the source code modified with your distribution of binary software (often under the same license).

  There is not really much of a practical use for end users, but it may be useful for other developers and software 3rd party development.

• Deleted virtual disk file and data store, just want to boot OS now.

  So I had a VM win7, and I added a virtual disk on a new data store.

  The new drive came out fine on windows as a new drive, and I was able to format etc.

  Now I basically unplugged all the system and booted Linux instead of ESX and ran all over the disk on which was my data store.

  Then I started in vmware and saw that the Windows VM was in a State of 'suspended' and if I try to take it back, he complains the missing disk file.

  "

  Reason: The system cannot find the specified file.
  Cannot open disk ' / vmfs/volumes/504e6c8a-b20d8bfd-1768-001e674dda97/win7/win7_1.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on.
  VMware ESX can not find the virtual disk "/ vmfs/volumes/504e6c8a-b20d8bfd-1768-001e674dda97/win7/win7_1.vmdk". Check that the path is valid and try again.

  "

  But it does not successfully. I tried to change the settings to remove the ' disk hard 2 "of its devices, but which is disabled since I assume that the virtual machine is suspended."»

  I don't like on the virtual disk or any data on this subject, I have need to be in windows - I want to just start in

  Is it possible to get out of this State without having to remove the entire virtual machine and re - install windows?

  Thank you!

  > and started instead of ESX Linux and ran all over the disk on which was my data store.

  Sorry - that "ran the disk" mean exactly?

  to get rid of the suspended state - delete the VMS, as well as all the VMS file references in the vmx file

• vSphere Data Protection

  Hello

  Review on the vsphere data protection, can take us image backup of windows server by using POS, its more fast or slow as clone

  It depends, but the benefits of taking a backup using the VDP is the next backup will be faster than the first, since only changed blocks are copied. And another advantage is that POS dedup backup, in this way it uses less space storage than a clone.

• vSphere Data Protection 5.8 - report by e-mail

  Hello

  Since I've upgraded to vSphere Data Protection 5.8 enamel with the backup report is delivered completely non-formatted, ex:

  

  This is how it was on 5.5 and earlier:

  

  Anyone with the same problem? Any difficulty?

  As far as I can see it depends on the client machine. I don't see the body of the VDP-e-mail on my SmartPhone, but I can see from my Exchange account. So maybe there is a problem on the IOS client.

• Advanced vSphere Data Protection restore client connection fails

  Dear all,

  I have a problem with the Data Protection restore vSphere Client. Including the option advanced. If I use the option of database connection I can get to my saved VM and I can also restore a single file if I want to. If I want to use the advanced option (I don't want to install flash player on each server, thank you vmware!). Whenever I try to log in with my domain account and the account root POS I get the message "failed to connect vCenter username or incorrect password.

  I tried both with my domain account (which incidentally is a valid account, I can connect to POS with the vmware client). I know that the root account is good and the password as I can also connect to POS via the menu of the server vcenter5. I am also able to enter the configuration of POS with the root account. I've stopped and started services POS with the root account.

  I am at a loss. Someone has an idea?

  Credentials change requires a restart of the device and I saw the PW in a config file, so I think it's hardcoded.

  If you have changed, may be the cause of your problem.

• PERC 710 add physical disks for RAID 5 virtual disk and keep data

  I think to set up a physical disk 4 RAID 5 array on my new PowerEdge T320.  That should give me enough space to last long.  I have two empty slots of HD.  If I need more space, later, I'll be able to add one or two additional physical disks without losing the data already on the virtual disk?  If so, how?  I don't see a way to do this in the manual of Perc 710.

  Thank you

  Andrew

  Yes, it is "doable" later.  This can be done in the PERC BIOS, but it can be done in OMSA (OpenManage Server Administrator) within the OS.

  One thing to keep in mind is the limit of 2 TB "floppy" Windows on BIOS systems compatible.  If you plan to 4x4TB disks in a RAID 10, that TB ~ 8 'disc' will be converted to the GPT and BIOS UEFI boot mode value.

• Recovery of data (VDR) VMware and vSphere Data Protection (WTP)

  Hello

  VDP is the latest version of the VDR, isn't it?

  VDP is the latest version of the VDR, isn't it?

  It is the successor/replacement of VDR rather than a later version. POS is a new application. For more information, see http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/techpaper/Introduction-to-Data-Protection.pdf

• vSphere Data Protection Virtual Appliance 6.0 does not install

  I tried to install VDP 6.0 on ESXi 6.0 for the last day and I'm seriously about to launch smashing everything like the incredible hulk.

  There are thousands of guides, I have used them in the yellow on bricks. It installs, but as soon as he told me to go to the party for the configuration it simply can. It will not resolve the host name to anything. It irritates me even typing the sentence. I have virtual appliances for the vRealize Operations Manager, vCenter Server, both work perfectly and have been set up in record time. I change IP address, virtual LANs, DNS, reinstalled 4 times entries. I did all humanly possible simple configurations and the INVESTIGATION period will not solve so I can set it up. I try to put in place so I can prove the case for the VSAN still further it and it's making it really, really hard.

  Anyone having problems with the VDP 6.0 installs correctly?

  I was running into this same issue. Try to open this Web page that is part of the same subnet.

  Try another browser. I couldn't get it work well with Chrome, but with IE and Firefox.

• VSphere Data Protection (WTP) available additional replication is?

  I realize its possible to allow overtime for a task of backup of POS: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 2109662

  Is possible even for a replication task? My departure from replication across a slow link is a failure after 24 hours.

  I recommend using mccli instead of watching log files directly.  You see the same information but are easier and faster to do.  The commands that I ran, it's to run is mccli activity show and get-activity log - id = mccli.  POS follow the remaining data.  Often its impossible because you can't tell the compression rate or total data supported until the task ends.

  If your replication at one POS device to another you can watch the total disc be everyone to get an approximate amount of data compression, which remains to be replicated.

• type of de-duplication with vSphere Data Protection?

  Curious to know the type of deduplication in POS. One is aware?

  Ok.. He got now.

  Deduplication of PDV is the source. Data dedupe'd first, are then copied to target

• Cannot extend a virtual disk in vSphere

  I can't extend my hard drive of the virtual machines.  I'm running on ESXi 4.0.0 208167 with more than 1 TB of free space in the local storage. The virtual machine is currently set up with thick Provisioning, but I've tried too thin (using storage vMotion to change).  Currently 10 GB is allocated and the block size allows 256 GB of files as there are no snapshots.  No matter if the virtual machine is powered on or off, or the other.

  Any ideas would be appreciated.

  The VMX configuration file is attached.

  Welocme again.

  In the vmx file I saw that you are using an IDE ide0:0.fileName = ' 83-XPVM - 01.vmdk ' drive you can not resize the IDE drives in the dialog 'change settings '. You need to do this, use the converter. When you use the converter that you can - if you want - change type of for example the SCSI LSI controller.

• How to read the data written to the virtual disk

  I use the following VDDK function to read the Flash disk from VMware

  http://bigchainring.kicks-ass.NET/functions/VixDiskLib_Read.html

  But areas of complete disc playback, including empty spaces. I need to back up only the data written to the Flash disk. It is to save the backup disk space (for example if 126 instant KB is written in 40 GB of disk snapshot, then we read only 126 KB and not 40 GB drive). Please suggest the correct way to read the data written to the Flash disk as well as to reproduce the same virtual disk with the data.

  VMware vSphere API queryChangedDiskAreas() can be used to obtain the data blocks in the virtual disk.

  Steps to follow:

  1. get the beaches of block of data (numbers) using queryChangedDiskAreas() API with '*' as argument.

  2 read the data of the specific blocks by using VixDiskLib_Read()

  3. write to another drive using VixDiskLib_Write()
