Backup and recovery and method for ESXi 4 tools

Hi all

For example, I have a shared SAN (accessible) by two ESXi 4 server, how am I supposed to back up virtual machines in the SAN?

Is thereany standard or free tools to perform the backup and restore for us to use in the environment of ESXi 4?

Thank you

Kind regards

You are welcome.

PS: lamw scripts are very well made.

  • Script configuration ip and hostname for esxi

    Hi guys,.

    I installed a VM ESXi ESXi-based. Then I cloned the ESXi VM to create another 40 ESXi VMs based.

    Now all others 40 virtual machines have the same IP address that the ESXi VM I use for cloning.

    Is there a script method to set the IP and static hostname for the 40 other VMs ESXi?

    Or is there a way I can enter the IP address and host name for ESXi clones?

    That works too, but it will not be a good idea to add the host to the CR and THEN change the IP there. Since it is a virtual, better machine to open a VI client directly to the 'physical' ESX host that has these virtual machines, open a console and change the IP/hostname using DCUI

  • Need tips on backup and storage for photo / audio

    I have an iMac of 2013 end 5 k. I do a lot of photography, treatment with Photoshop and Lightroom.

    However, I also do a lot of audio (for the most part, podcasting), so I need a silence almost workplace.

    When I bought the iMac, I also got a LaCie Little Big Disk. It's a quick series of PCIe SSD 1 TB super set pre-configured in RAID 0 mode, and it is completely silent. Certainly, it is a total overkill for photography work, but I was really happy with him... until he has filled.

    I use a separate 4 TB of HARD drive in an external enclosure from OWC for disk backup internal of my iMac as LaCie hard drive with my photos.

    Now I need more capacity, and I would also like to combine the storage and backup in the same case. Naturally, I am considering a Thunderbay OWC 4. But I'm stuck on which we get.

    A 4 between thunderbay with JBOD 3.5 hard drives probably makes the most sense. I have 3 x 4 TB, HDD, one for storage of photos, one for saving the photo viewer, for Time Machine. And then a 1 TB of HARD drive to back up my iMac (512 GB SSD) drive. Problem is I'm afraid that's not too noisy. Even if I had a quieter fan, I'm worried about the noise made by the readers of spinning.

    Second option is a Thunderbay 4 with 2.5 1 TB SSD in a RAID5 configuration. It would give me 3 TB of storage with protection against failure. With a Noctura fan, it would be nearly silent. But this isn't a true backup and I still need a separate backup drive, which is not the most elegant solution.

    FWIW, I have backup off site with Backblaze. But although that offers protection data, if the entire Thunderbay somehow got fried, it would be nice to have a backup closer at hand than Backblaze. I believe that they will send a disc with recorded data, but not sure about that.

    Any ideas would be appreciated!

    If noise from Thunderbay concerns then just get you a longer cable of love at first sight. I saw them in 10 meter lengths, then you can have the flexibility to put the box in another room or at least a distance of your office.

  • MS complete PC Backup and Restore for Vista Ultimate backup programs and files?

    I'm new to computers and there is still a lot to learn, I have an OS Vista Home Premium and I think to upgrade to Ultimate and I read that the complete PC Backup and restore can be used with MS Virtual Server to back up the computer. But what I read didn't specifically tell me if she saves some programs I downloaded, it says full backup but computer language being what it is I don't quite mean it as programs and files, which is what I'm interested in. So I can save my programs and files with this system? I don't want to go all the time, trouble and upgrade costs if I can only do half of what I want to do. Thanks a lot for any help on this idea.

    Hello

    When you perform a full backup of the computer, all programs, files and system settings are included.

  • Windows complete PC Backup and Restore for Vista Home Premium

    I finally new PC my son all set up with Vista 64-bit Home Premium and installation is sublime.

    But when I looked for a few floppy bootable installation complete I think I bought the wrong version of the program.

    "Windows complete PC Backup and Restore" only comes with the Ultimate and Business edition.

    Is it possible to add this functionality to my version of windows without switching completely to the Ultimate version?

    No, you will need a third party app. Many people prefer Acronis True Image, but I lean toward a slightly more expensive, but a complete solution, with this app.

  • How blackBerry Smartphones wipe a backup and security for Blackberry Curve.

    Hi all, first time poster, second spectator of time... If that makes sense!

    New jobs and support of BlackBerry devices for the first time (mainly because I have one, ergo;) I'm an expert!). No problem it's always good to learn new things...

    Well, that's my problem - I have a user who cannot respond to emails - I have read some posts that were all on the money as to why and how to solve them. My problem is I have to perform a back up and wipe security, but do not know how and was hoping someone could guide my way. What is a professional user I won't spoil and lose\delete his email and addresses, etc.

    It is important that we use Notes and Domino (Boo!) instead of Outlook and Exchange? And it is an easy process?

    Thank you very much.

    London_Exile.

    Follow these steps for peripheral storage BlackBerry-

    1. connect your device using the USB cable

    2. click on the backup and restore

    3. click the backup button

    4. Select the location where you want to keep the backup data

    5. click on Ok to continue

    Note: I have described the process according to desktop manager 4.5. You can download it here.

    To wipe your handheld computer, follow these steps-

    1. go to Options

    2. security options

    3. General settings

    4. click on the Menu button

    5. Select wipe Handheld

    6. enter in blackberry to proceed

  • BlackBerry Smartphones really backup and restore for the OS upgrade

    Hi all

    I'm new in the world of BB and I love it.

    I've recently updated the OS of my BB "BOLD" and was a little surprised by the backup and restore process...

    He missed some relevant info such as: BB Messenger discussions, certain parameters (network, wifi, email passwords options options...).

    Is there a way to really back up everything before the update of the OS? That's all just annoying (even if it's no big deal, the vast majority is here...)

    Thank you and have a nice day.

    See you soon

    We are not effective, we are just bored.

    The difference is this: I saw the backup upgrade automatically deleted at the end of the upgrade process. Your backup beforehand will ensure you the data for use if necessary.

  • XP system backup and restore for XP Mode in Windows 7 Pro

    We have many customers finally replace their XP computers with new systems, but some require old software XP can easily be upgraded or replaced.

    We can always clone their slow HDD to a new SSD in a new system and repair the hard disk controller, but then they still run XP.

    Does anyone know of a Windows XP backup procedure (NTbackup, System Migration tool, Acronis image of the system, etc.) and then on a computer installed Windows 7 Pro with XP Mode, restore the backup to the computer in XP Mode?  In this way, they have Windows 7 for new software and can easily "initialize" their virtual XP machine?

    Would seek essentially to restore a mirror image of XP so that programs are intact.

    We could do something other than XP mode too - VirtualBox or VMWare would be nice too.

    Thanks in advance for your ideas.

    This issue is beyond the scope of this site (for consumers) and to be sure, you get the best (and fastest) reply, we have to ask either on Technet (for IT Pro) or MSDN (for developers)

  • You can use a single hard drive to store an image disk backup and restore for multiple computers?

    I have a couple of computers that I recently installed Win7 on. As soon as I do an install I always do a backup image is preparing for the worst. Do I need a separate hard drive for each computer that I do a backup or image can I put all my images on a hard drive backup? I already have two separate a HDs different images, but would like to have them all in one place. I already tried a straight copy of an image to HAND HD I would use like, but without success. Is this possible or do I really a backup image HD?

    Depends on what you use for backup.  in General, you need not to have a picture in HD.

    Personally, I like acronis true image home 2012 (free trial) because it is flexible, easy to use and workjs each time.

  • Backup and recovery strategy?

    Hello

    Asked me to provide/formulate the strategy of backup and restoration for the new env Oracle under construction. Currently, all this is done by 3rd party and they do not share nothing with me :-) Customer will take the place of servers in the near future.

    Here is some info from the environment:

    Env: There are four production databases. All are 10 gr 2 (10.2.0.5) on RHE Linux 5.8. All transactions on databases are through various batch and then the data is used by some applications/search engines.


    Current backup info: There is an incremental backup of level 1 made on daily basis and a level 0 is made every week. In addition, the archivelogs are backed up every hour. After each successful level 1 backup the archivelog saved that day there are deleted. I guess that is the case with level 0 backups. Retention is 30 days.

    New env: I learned that backups will NOT go to bands. On the contrary, they will be stored on the disk. So I guess that no special backup software (netbackup, comvault, etc.) will only be used. I tried, but no one confirms this hypothesis.

    I believe that above approach can be reused. But if I am preparing a 'Backup and Recovery Strategy document' with this detail, it will be a one page document. I don't know if this is enough information to go in this document.

    Please advise what must be regarded, sought and documented.

    Best regards

    And I also, since which is, more or less, what I do with my databases (TENs). The only difference is that the archivelogs are deleted immediately after the backup.

  • Backup and recovery with EXPDP and IMPDP

    Hello

    I have a problem of beginner!

    My environment is 10.2.0.4 & 11.2.0.2.

    I wish
    to backup a small database with EXPDP (FULL=Y)
    and to recover it with IMPDP(FULL=Y). ( *I don't want to use RMAN in this case*)
    My question:
    + what have I more to backup ( e.g. Passwordfile, control files, init.ora..) to be able to recover  
      successfully with IMPDP?
    + what are the steps to recover with IMPDP?
    I tried looking for a Howto in INTERNET, but in vain so far!

    Can any expert answer me? or show me a place to get a good HOWTO?

    Thanks and greetings

    So that's a little different situation from the initial, general issue.

    This situation Yes, create a new instance when the user that contains the data catalog rman since your last export import. The rman catalog is usually low volume enough this import will have no problem (we will assume that the export has not held while all backups rman-ducts were running).

    We know that your environment already relies on rman, since it is the rman catalog you save, you must familiarize yourself with rman still. Set up rman backup and restore for your sounds of database catalog rman as the perfect learning exercise that you improve on the procedures of your predecessor.

  • Cannot reinstall Dell backup and restore support center

  • Create notification of a particular hardware for ESXi host problem?

    Hello

    One of our 5.1 ESXi hosts is constantly a hardware problem (with hardware alert status).

    We would like to ask for your opinion

    (1) if we create a notification, should we use 'host' alarm?

    (2) is it possible to send a notification to the staff for this particular host with error alarm "host" other than other ESXi hosts (i.e. send to Tony and Stephen for ESXi host A Harware problem BUT only sent to Tony for another hardware ESXi hosts problem)?

    Your opinion is requested.

    Hello

    No, there is no option to select specific host in a cluster. When you set the alarm, it is fixed for the whole army in the cluster.
