  Looks like you need to install vCentre Converter (the server vCentre himself) of what has been said.

  Please give points for any helpful answer.

• Backup exec 12.5 and rman

  Can anyone suggest what is the procedure of backup of a database 10g on windows using Backup exec 12.5? We use the flash recovery area and all the Archives of newspapers, flashback logs and backup games go? The system administrator wants to back up the complete directory of the flash recovery area. Would that be enough? Is that a backup of oracle home is necessary? Is there a required backup settings before saving files when the database is switched on, as put them in backup mode or etc.? All documentation discuss the safeguard measures, and what must be saved will be appreciated. Thank you.

  Fix. File system backups must not include data files, the controlfiles and redologs from the database.

• Backup Exec 2010 R2 and Vsphere 4.1

  Good day all

  I'm quite puzzeled of Backup Exec 2010 r2 backup of Vsphere 4.1 VM with VM agent. In the image attached data store is thick accrued 1.14 TB LUN on the SAN that has 2 vm. The virtual machine is configured to thin configured as you can see the storage capacity and put in service has about 400 GB discrepancy, but it's only when backups are like BE2010 instant process. Here are the best backup is to 400 GB, but free storage has not diminished, I expect short of space free on the LUNS but is still in treatment of the backup and servers are still in place.

  Can someone explain to me the instant treatment BE2010 and space to line up shots in a BE2010 perspective.

  The snapshot files will contain only the changes made to the virtual machine, while the backup is running.  When the backup starts, it takes a snapshot of the virtual machines, this snapshot blocks of virtual disk files 'main '.  New entries on the virtual disks will be written to the snapshot files, that is, they contain only the changes made to the virtual machine.  The backup task is then sure to read the 'core' virtual drives, knowing that they will not change and will be in the State of the virtual machine when the snapshot was taken.  Once the backup is complete, it will "remove" the snapshot, this 'merges' the changes in the files of 'snapshot' for 'main' virtual disk files

  If the 'snapshot' files will be as large as the amount of changes on the virtual disks while the snapshot is in place.  This has nothing to do with the amount of data backed up by Backup Exec as one reads in the virtual disk files 'main '.

  I guess that you expected the files 'snapshot' to increase the amount of data on the virtual disks and for Backup Exec read these files snashot.

  I hope that makes sense.

• Backup Exec and VCB proxy server configuration

  Hello

  I am installing Backup Exec to back up my virtual machine on an ESX Server, but I get the following error:

  *Backup- VMVCB::ESX01VCGuestVm(DC)ha-datacenter(DC)vmserver03* 
  
  
  V-79-57344-38220 - Backup of the virtual machine 'server03' failed. VMware VCB framework reported the following error
  
  
   
  
  
  Error: Failed to open the disk: Cannot access a SAN/iSCSI LUN backing this virtual disk. (Hint: Option "-m ndb" swtiches vcbMounter to network base disk access if this is what you want.) 
  
  

  It's my setup. I have an ESX Server connected to a San. I store my images on the SAN. I have Backup Exec installed on our file server that is also attached to the SAN and try to use this server as my VCB proxy server. I have installed on my server BE VCB framework and the enterprise Converter 3.03. I have setup a temporary staging that the server can access to place its snapshots on.

  My BE\VCB proxy server cannot access the SAN LUN that holds the images. My understanding of the process is that of BE I navigate on the ESX Server and select the virtual machine, I want to backup, and because the ESX Server can access the SAN LUNS where VM images are stored throughout the process of alignment of the image and place in the temporary storage area so that BE can then throw tape should work.

  Can someone help to solve my problem?

  See you soon

  Yes, it is the intention of the VCB.  Take the resources needed to run the backup out of the host and on the VCB proxy server.  You can define VCB to use the 'LAN' mode which backs the service console of the virtual computer on the network, but it is slower and puts more pressure on the host.

  Make sure you carefully follow the VCB document.  There are some things you need to do on the proxy before presenting the LUN as cutting diskpart automount. If you don't there is a chance that the lun might get corrupted and your VM would go bye-bye.

• Backup exec 2012, issue of mpio san backup and ALA

  We have a 4 TB File Server 2008, BONE is a physical server with hba to san volume where the files are located on.
  so far, our backup exec server has an hba double iscis, with only using a port in the San.
  in backup exec, I have created 8 jobs that run at the same time and creates 8 snapshots on the san to back up the file server.
  on the side of san when snapshots are created, I can see that snapshots are assigned to the different ethernet ports, eth0, eth1, eth2, eth3, etc..
  and start broadcasting our backup exec Server iscsi hba data, but since it is only using 1 connection her bottleneck through 1 Gbps.

  If I install mpio on the backup exec server and configure the ports and mpio on the hba settings, when the san creates snapshots, the TI separate backups between the two connections of 1 GB on the hba iscis on the backup exec Server?

  what I have to do all the other configurations on the San or switch layer2 (48 1 Gbps connections) that we use for our San?
  I read somewhere that you would have to do something on the switch if you did 'aggregation of links' or 'bonding' but that mpio is completely different, and I wouldn't have to do something for her.

  any comments would be appreciated.

  Hello

  Re: Collage/circuits only is not supported by the MS. iSCSI initiator  It's in the guide to iSCSi Ms.

  RE: iSCSI hba.   What is a Broadcom iSCSI unloading mode or Qlogic iSCSI HBA?

  So once you configure the other port on the DRUNK to be on the same SAN subnet, you can use MPIO.

  You should already have installed the EQL HIT the DRINK server, is that correct?     If so, then run the Remote Setup Wizard in the Equallogic program folder.   There is an option "configure mpio.   Game to use only the iSCSI subnet, and you will see a checkbox for MPIO enabled shadow copy.  Which is enabled by default.

• Help - DR4000 and Symantec Backup Exec 2012

  We strive to set up a DR4000 with Symantec Backup Exec 2012 VRay Edition.

  DR4000 firmware is 1.0.1.1

  I created a new container and all NFS and CIFS permissions without restrictions. (Free access)

  When I go to add a new drive according to the storage location to BE, everything goes OK until the BE trying to access the share location when I get an authentication error.  He seems to BE trying to gain access to the share using the default service account, (which the DR4000 does not of course).

  I am a little confused because I thought that if it's full, permissions are enabled on the actions of DR4000, then it does not matter which account is used.

  There is also no documentation on how to implement the DR4000 and BE with storage devices open that apparently two support, but all the examples I've seen ignores OSD and uses just a disk path leaves ordinary.

  We are stuck with shiny new Dell and DR4000 backup server and no way to use them.

  If anyone can help?

  Ok.  Problem solved.  I disconnected the DR4000 of the field, it still wouldn't connect.  I joined it to the domain, and then BE could access the share OK.  I don't know why it did not work before.  A note, why you cannot join the DR4000 to the domain by using the domain administrator account?  You must use another account with domain administrator rights.

• Support ESXi 5.0 host FC connected tape drives in the virtual machine running symantec backup exec 2012

  Dear Experts,

  We recently purchased C0H19A: StoreEver HP 1/8 G2 6 - LTO Ultrium 6250 CF TapeAutoloader. The purpose is to backup of VMS data, I mean selected data in virtual machines, as for the exchange of data bases email for server accounts database SQL server etc.. We have a full VM backup plan, so using symantec backup exec software.

  We have this configuration:

  -TWO DL 380 Gen8 servers (running UPDATE2 Esxi 5.0), both servers have not all SCSI ports

  -One SINGLE HP P2000 G2 MSA FC Dual Cntrl storage

  -TWO HP SN6000 12 - pt Windows Pwr FC switch

  -HP ADF

  All them above are related to the CF. Symantec backup exec 2012 is also installed on Windows 2008 R2, which is a virtual machine.

  But now, we are unable to see the tape library autoloader through the virtualization layer in the device of machine Manager virtual backup exec. Reading on internet, I also found some details that connected FC tape drives are not supported by the Esxi hosts. We are really stuck in this situation, all the solutions to this. I also read the article from vmware saying configuration for Esxi 4.0 FC tape drives and later versions

  Installation of a physical server windows with Backup Exec 2012 and HBA and connected to above switches FC is the only way to see the ADF? Even after reading articles on the internet, I'm not clear, please guide what solution I have now to get this thing going, I really need to find solution to this.

  Waiting for answers.

  Kind regards

  Hello, I'm a Backup Exec support engineer and yes the method supported is only by connecting the tape drive to a server of physical media.

• VCB & backup exec 12.5 w / vmware option - list of disks in disk management

  Hello

  I have an EMC SAN (CX3-20 and CX4-120) and I welcomed a LUN to be shared between in the backup server.  Backup server has VCB, backup exec 12.5

  This is a normal behavior?

  1 - when I click on disk management in the computer management and then the LUNS which I shared appears as a partition 'unknown '.

  2. when I right click it now allows me to delete.  When I remove, it basically caused me a lot of problems on my esx environment.

  My other question is:

  Is it away so that I can still share this LUN so that my Backup Exec + VCB can always make backups, but this lun are not not in computer management? I'm just afraid something would go wrong and the LUNS can be accidentally deleted (which will create the biggest problem for me in my production environment)

  Please find attached the screenshot.

  Best,

  Ahmed

  Yes (if you mean State disc 4).

• vRangerPro and integration of Backup Exec

  Hello everyone

  Ask for a better recommendation of the Community approach. I have a server, let's say the name of the server. HollyCorp1. The HollyCorp1 Server

  see all the VMFS data store in the VI3 environment, HollyCorp1 has a LUN to serve the "reservoir" of 334 GB

  I managed to install the following on HollyCorp1 in the sequence of the list:

  • 1 vRangerPro

  • 2 plugin VCB, vRanger connection

  • 3 vRanger connection restore file plugin

  • 4 VCB framework

  I can successfully perform a backup off Lan through vRanger connection to the LUNS designated as drive I:\ on 334 GB HollyCorp1

  This is where I'm having trouble.

  I'm having 40 VM backup using vRanger connection, my first approach is to save this 334 GB LUN and have a backup server

  using BackupExec mapped to drive I:\ on Hollycorp1 and the Backup Server then forwards these files on tape.

  Question

  This LUN is only 334 GB in size, I obviously can't save each VM in the same time. How is that what you would plan vRanger connection to copy

  x number of VM of this LUN, then Backup Exec transferred these VM to tape then time it so that the first group of

  VM is removed, then the next group of VM's backup thru vRanger connection and so on

  The customer asks 1 full backup weekly and the differences on a daily basis, all of the recommendations.

  The way I approach it is not effective, there must be another way any input would be greatly appreciated.

  First take a look at this doc, I have published about VIOPS-> http://viops.vmware.com/home/docs/DOC-1133 is a companion for a workshop I presented at VMworld 2008. It covers backup and recovery using NetBackup, but the process is similar to the BE.

  You can use the vRangerProGUI to create one job to back up a virtual machine or a group of virtual machines. The GUI is simply a front end to the CLI. At the bottom of the interface is the command line for work. You can copy this in a meadow BE backup script. Then use a post to BE script to delete the files from the staging area. I have one do not know if you will succeed with the differentials. I have not tried with VCB, but it was not available in previous versions, when using VCB. In addition, I do not know if it depends on the original image being present on the disk.

• Backup Exec and instant / add disk space

  I use Backup Exec to make full VM backups

  After the backup, I can see a snapshot to the virtual machine in the Snapshot Manager

  I deleted all the snapshots of the virtual machine and stop the virtual machine.

  At this point providing drive area is grayed out and e/s can not add disk space on the existing drive

  I don't see that there is a-000001, 000002 vmdk still kicking around in the virtual machine folder

  (a) is it safe to delete the 00001 and 0002?

  (b) any idea how to prevent the creation of the Snapshot Backup Exec files

  Thank you

  Steve

  It is a VM DC

  It turns out that Backup Exec was hung on the VM backup

  Once I canceled the backup, I was able to consolidate

  Thanks for your help

• Is make Journal required for backup of database hot and cold water?

  Hi Experts,

  Please explain--again it takes to backup of database hot and cold water?

  Thank you

  Did you backup managed user or RMAN backup. In RMAN backup, you only need logs archived. But in the cold backup managed user, you don't need the redolog also if the PB was properly arrested. Jut copy the DBF and controlfile and put it there to the target server and during the recovery of redolog files will be created automatically.

  Please note that the database must be correctly stopped before cold backup is taken.

• Symantec Backup Exec version free ESXi

  Hi all

  I using ESXi 5.1 free version a host and 3 windows Server 2008 R2 OS guest.

  I need to save and plan to purchase Symantec Backup Exec 2012 month next but the seller said "all backup software no ESXi free support" because API service off, so I have to buy vSphere Essentials.

  Is it factual information? If so, can you suggest me other solution?

  Thank you

  refer to page 32 of Backup Exec (tm) 2012 software compatibility list (SCL)

  Note: Must be a Standard license for vSphere to BE 2012 properly protect guest hosted ESXi systems.

  Note: Everything is free version of ESXi (4i and 5) require a minimum of VMware license in order to be protected by Backup Exec. This is due to the lack of API vStorage to help to protect data in versions without a free license of ESXi and VMware current limiting.
