Backup methods for RDM

I plan on P2Ving a Windows 2003 with 2 400 Go CX3-40 lun file server.

If I join the LUNS as RDM on the virtual machine, which is the most effective method of backup?

NPIV advantage in this scenario?

Thank you

If you have a RDM in virtual mode, you can use any backup method.

And if you have SnapView license, you can also make a backup also offline if RDM is not in virtual mode.

A good idea is have a physical machine connected to your San backup to make net-free backup.

NPIV advantage in this scenario?

NPIV is useful for control of the quality of service and sometimes for migration.

But that doesn't help much for backup.

  • Off-host backup methods (like HDS ShadowImage, EMC BCVS, etc.) works in a virtual machine?

    HI Experts,

    Off-host backup methods (like HDS ShadowImage, EMC BCVS, etc.) works in a Virtual Machine (if the volume to be backed up is created on RDM)?

    This means that each such VM who have need to have backup off-host using ShadowImage have their LUNS dedicated (using RDM) and not on VMFS volumes.

    Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

    If you find this answer useful please consider giving points by checking the correct or helpful answer.

    I'm not sure it's really a 'problem '.  If you take a snapshot of the side storage (BCV, NetApp snapshot, whatever) you're after a point-in-time backup.  The fact that changes to virtual RDM will make a delta file while the snapshot of the virtual machine exists doesn't make much difference insofar as what is in the snapshot storage - except that he has invited at least FS compliant (compatible app is another debate).  You always have a snapshot of time point, and it is always the data that exist when you trigger the process.

    So, with virtual mode, you can use instant VMware (using RAS as VMware tools are installed) and get a consistent snapshot of comments-FS.

    Physical RDM mode, it's tools, usually from the storage provider, in the prompt flush/being suspended.  NetApp SnapDrive one is an example of this.  SnapDrive one uses the same win32 calls to rinse the NTFS.  You can put SnapManager for Exchange, SQL, SharePoint, in addition to this, and now you're app - are as well.

    You can make snapshots of storage of data a VMFS or NFS warehouses.  You would need a script or a tool to clean virtual machines.  There is an example of a very simple script in NetApp TR3428 (http://www.netapp.com/us/library/technical-reports/tr-3428.html), or if you actually NetApp, you can use IVMS (http://www.netapp.com/us/library/technical-reports/tr-3737.html).  These scripts don't rinse apps by themselves, but depending on the application, you can incorporate pre/post scripts in the virtual machine.

  • Why Apple does not have a backup battery for Apple devices?

    Why Apple does not have a backup battery for Apple device? Recommended us that of our full when we are on the road, so they should do a backup battery for their devices instead of other companies do. The backup battery that I use for my iPhone 5 c don't let my phone screen timeout as he does when I'm with the regular wall charger. Can anyone help?

    Consult the manual for your backup battery.  There should be a switch or a button to activate the phone load.  It should not be left in charge mode all the time because the phone thinks it has unlimited power when charging, so disabled several energy-saving features (like display sleep, closing a connection Wi - Fi when he sleeps).

  • Binds the exportXFAData(); method for the saveAs event

    I have an XFA form that was built with LiveCycle and I try to write javascript to Adobe who will export the form data to an XML file whenever a user manually saves the file in Acrobat. Preferably, this feature is easily sharable, because I have clients who need to have this ability.

    I'm a novice, but it seems that the interactive objects are grey and so I can not add a custom button. That's why I hope to link the exportXFAData(); method for the saveAs event. When a user does CTRL + S or file > save (sub)... the XML should be exported to the desktop.

    It seems that I have to use the exportXFAData() or exportAsXFDF() method.  I found something that says: " it is a very simple process to do this, use the method saveAs Doc object... " and copy the following code:


    this.saveAs ("/ c/temp/test.xml", "com.adobe.acrobat.xml - 1-00");

    I do not know where to write this code, or if it must be adapted (not to mention that the path) to accomplish what I asked above.

    Thank you very much,



    Carl


    It does not export form data, as far as I know, but another schema. There is a different method for acroforms export but I don't know for XFA forms. You should check the reference XFA JavaScript, not google.

    The example you found is not in any way binding to the SaveAs event. Rather, it uses a special feature of the document.saveAs method that allows you to save/export other formats instead of PDF, such as file options > save as. The code generally added to a button, but do not work (see below). I don't know if you can run this in an event WillSave or similar, that; s a separate exercise.

    Don't forget to read the XFA JavaScript document for this method since it will have security restrictions designed to stop incorporating any kind of back up/export to a file - because think havoc if a PDF file that you have downloaded begins to silently save/export the files to your computer. Do not try to use acroform rather documentation! And I see that what you quoted DC Acrobat SDK Documentation applies to the acroforms.

    For more specific help, I suggest the LiveCycle Designer forum. We are dealing here Acroforms.

  • Paths multiple parameters for RDM attached to ESXi 5 guests

    We are implementing a new SAN, an EMC VNX and have been advised by soing installation provider to set multiple paths for all devices to roundrobin.  Also advised it us to change the OPS are / s by default of 1000 to 1.  So I wrote a PowerCLI script to do this and everything works great.  I run the script every day to ensure that all new devices are replaced with the recommended settings.

    Yesterday when I ran the script, our attached SQL of VM with RDM server has started having huge disk latency issues.  As soon as we have changed the OPS are / default 1000 s, disk latency issues went away.  We could not find EMC information saying that RDM devices should have their IOPS / s set at 1000 or what their Multipathing parameters should (currently runnin on turnstile without no significant problem), but we found information from other storage vendors saying that we should go with the settings best practices of Microsoft at least the multi-pathing is set to MRU.

    Anyone out there has any information or advice on what we should do.  We will of course ensure that the OPS are / s for the RDM are set to 1000, but what are the recommendations for multiple paths of the RDM.

    See you soon

    Ant

    As a general rule, Multipathing for RDM must be the same as that of storage of data VMFS, with the exception of MSCS RDMs, which are required to be set multiple access paths, by VMware

    I'm going to guess in your case that you had a few LUNS of the questions that you should study the trespass (or get Powerpath/VE for your env and never worry about it again).

  • A liner for RDM

    Best regards

    Hello, vlife201110141-

    Not too bad of a script - a little slower than it could be, however.  If stick with cmdlets traditional PowerCLI Get - VM and Get-hard drive, I would probably change only the last property calculated in the Select-Object statement to make a Get - view instead of Get-VIObjectByVIView, in order to speed it up:

    ...  @{"Name" = "Datastore"; "Expression" = {(Get-View -Id $_.extensiondata.backing.datastore -Property Name).name}}
    

    Or, to get more speed, I would write it as follows, using more full potential speed of Get-View:

    &{Get-View -ViewType VirtualMachine -Property Name, Runtime.Host, Parent, Config.Hardware.Device} | %{    $viewThisVM = $_    $viewThisVM.Config.Hardware.Device | ?{$_ -is [VMware.Vim.VirtualDisk]} | ?{"physicalMode","virtualMode" -contains $_.Backing.CompatibilityMode} | %{        New-Object -Type PSObject -Property @{            Name = $viewThisVM.Name            VMHost = (Get-View -Id $viewThisVM.Runtime.Host -Property Name).Name            VMFolder = (Get-View -Id $viewThisVM.Parent -Property Name).Name            Datastore = (Get-View -Id $_.Backing.Datastore -Property Name).Name        } ## end new-object    } ## end foreach-object} ## end foreach-object} | Select Name,VMHost,VMFolder,Datastore
    

    I tried getting the RDM News 5 special SMV with 41 total RDMs.  The original way too 173 seconds, making the first change above cut on 92 seconds and with just Get-View dropped at the time of 28 seconds.  What differences do you see in your environment by using the different versions?

    Kindly help me and let me know if you need additional information.

    In your case the most appropriate b/s is with Rman. For this, you need to enable the database to archivelog mode. Each time, you need to copy past files archivelog (and rman full backup of database if you wish) generated after that full backup rman was made. Realize you must have as a minimum a full backup rman, all archivelogfiles has been generated since that time.
    There is also another way to take backup: hot backup. (read more in documentation Ora). But be aware that this will affect database performance while the backup is taken. And it would be a little more difficult for you.
    But if you're not allowed to activate mode archive so the only way is to take the datapump files each time.
