• Using more of a VMWare backup recovery

  Hi all

  I'm sitting here und think next idea:

  We have 10 servers that must be saved. We use a VDR (VM Backup Recovery) for this. Thus, sometimes the catalog crashes and it takes neerly a day to fix it. While this time I can´t of backup or restore anything.

  These backups are on the same SAN as my ESX machines. So I have the big problem, if everything crashes (raid or more than 1 HDD) I have no chance to recover anything.

  Yes, I know that this is not 100% optimal. either way... we have no money to buy a second SAN!

  the idea was to develop an other VDR and connect it to a Terastation. Speed is absolutely secondary. This VDR would save computers same like the first VDR. (not at the same time, for example SQL Server is saved on VDR1 on VDR2 and 06:00 on 09:00)

  The biggest would be:

  -If VDR 1 catalog crashes, VDR2 works and I can fix the VDR1 without missing the backups or recoveryoptions

  -If my STI SAN crashing, I can use my Terastation to fix everything (the speed is secondary)

  What do you think of this idea?

  Good bye

  You can define 2 different backup locations in a single device. So you can save on Monday for the first location and Tuesday for the second and so on. When an integrity check runs more than 24 hours, you have the second location-data store to restore on the same device operations. If you have enough backup-time, you can also save each VM twice in one day in two places at different times. In the event of a disaster you will be lucky and maybe lose only a location of data store and have all your backups without waitiing for the completion of the audit of integrity or something as a recataloguer. Up to now this works very well in my environment with 5 appliances and 180 VM. I use no more than 30 virtual machines for a single device, because integrity, check runs throughout.

• Windows 7 Home Premium with invalid Code of Activation in the virtual environment

  I have a PC with Windows 7 Home Premium, I could get the Product Code of Magic Jelly Bean KeyFinder.  I created a Virtualbox Win7 environment to test the code for what should I have to rebuild my computer I have everything properly.  Although I enter the code correctly when I try to activate it says that is not valid.  Is it because I'm under a system with it already running with the same product code that it does not work properly? Or something else?

  If your intention is to rebuild the desktop, why would need to test the activation code to see if it works, when it is currently working on the host itself? I can understand the Windows 7 Home Premium assessment in the virtual environment, but the idea of the code itself, no.

  If its already active in the host, then that means it works.

  If Home Premium from Windows 7 is pre-installed on the host itself, the code that you use cannot be used to activate Windows 7 elsewhere.

  New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

  This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

  For Dell, press F8 on the keyboard until the Advanced Boot Options menu appears on the screen.

  For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

  For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

  For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

  For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

  For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

  Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

  Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

  If it is a retail license and you need to reactivate Windows 7 Home Premium if you reinstall from scratch, you can still use phone activation:

  (2) press the ENTER"" key.
   
  (3) select your "country" in the list.

• Creation of backup recovery disks

  Hello Forum,

  When you use the backup recovery disc creation program, is a copy of all the recovery disc (d created or are the files from the (c drive also copied?)) With this drive, I'll then be able to restart my laptop with a new hard drive.

  Thank you very much

  FM.

  Hello

  While the recovery discs are just a bootable copy of the recovery partition D, operating after replacing the HARD drive, it will reinstall all the original scores (Windows C, HP_TOOLS, recovery D etc.) on the new drive - the machine will be in the State it was at the time of purchase.

• Create a backup recovery

  Is this possible on a drive hard laptop usb or should it be a flash drive?

  I thought to partition my drive hard portable 1 TB and dedicate it to the backup recovery.

  No, you need to save in a flash disk to bootable USB, you can back up an external HARD drive and retrieve the image with programs like daughters reflect.

• Using a USB flash drive for backup more driver and application backup recovery

  I have a 32 GB flash drive I used to create a recovery for my Aspire S7 backup using Windows 8.1. I understand that in creating this backup everything on the flash drive is deleted before creating backup. Can I now use this drive for other purposes, e.g., pilots and backup applications, pictures, documents, etc., or this flash drive now should he remain dedicated to the sole purpose of being a backup recovery?

  Hi zimmerbob

  I keep as a backup to dedicated recovery flash drive and use one for drivers & applications.

  It is always wise to keep the recovery discs, as well as the recovery disks. Flash memory is quite inexpensive for the moment!

• Deactivation of Dell Backup & Recovery Notifications

  We have a number of new PC (Win 7 Pro 64 bit) who all Dell Backup & Recovery installed. Now, I take that uninstall completely is not a good idea because of the way it is strongly linked to do system recovery / restore? So, how the to I turn of the annoying notifications! I don't want to hear/see anything about this piece of software! Especially since most of the notifications are 'NAGs' about 'try our cloud services' (I don't want them), or "upgrade to the pro version" (NOT a chance). They are opinions only in so much as they try to me I don't want to sell.

  Hi, due to problems in communicating with you, here I called Technical Support this morning (Dell case Ref: 895569609). They were able to confirm that, after you create a recovery on the USB media, had no reason why I couldn't just go ahead and uninstall Dell Backup & Recovery. They also confirmed that when you access Backup & Recovery via the Windows Start menu troubleshooting (accessed via F8 as Windows starts), it is run from the hidden restore partition and not affected by the uninstall of the Windows software itself. That's what I've went ahead and did to get rid of notifications. What about George

• Can I use an antivirus on each of my hosts and guests at the same time when running a virtual environment on my PC?

  I have Windows 7 running on my main computer at present and that you have a virtual environment installed as an operating system on this computer very.

  I would like to know if I am able to run an internet security on my pc (Windows 7) host program and other internet security on my guest in my virtual environment operating system (pc windows 8)... at the same time.

  I ask this question because... I installed my OS of windows 8 in a virtual environment running inside my Windows 7 OS in order to familiarize yourself with the features of windows 8 and to test the compliance of windows 8 with various hardware components I use... to satisfy my curiosity before I migrate eventually completely to windows 8.

  Part of my tests would involve various software including Internet security applications.

  So the question is... I was able to save my virtual environment with an Internet security program, while having an Internet security program running in the host computer?

  PS my environments hosts and guests are not put networked with the exception of the common external drives and dvd burners. The plan being that the Internet security on my host computer program will have my analysis excluded virtual environment.

  Yes

  The systems are completely separated from each other, will not affect the different AntiVirus on another product.

  If you decide to test another Internet security program don't forget to completely remove the old version on the virtual machine

• ID in a virtualized environment

  Can someone develop an IDS solution for a virtualized environment?

  I have ESX/ESXi - highly virtualized blade servers.  IM using the blade passes under chassis e/s - no pass-through.

  The requirement is to run a service IDS such as VM-on-VM traffic is controlled. The traffic flow can be between two virtual machines on the same blade, 2 virtual machines on two separate blades in the same chassis, or two separate virtual machines on two hunts...

  In this case, I see 3 streams of traffic off of the bat...

  blade even: vm-on-vm traffic is enabled by a hypervisor type switch (vDS 1000v or vmware).

  different blades in the same chassis: vm-on-vm traffic will leave blade and can be set by hardware chassis (blade chassis I/O) switch.

  different chassis: vm-on-vm traffic will have to go to ToR (maybe same end of line).

  NOTE: If the VMs are on different VLANS, traffic will always be at the end-of-line/agg switches (the limit of L3/L2).

  So, given all of these possible flows, what is the best way to go about deploying IDS service? Implementation? Virtual or physical? etc...

  Thank you!

  You're right, dragging the flow of vm virtual machine out of the box for the inspection of the IPS and stuffing then reconnect will be a bottleneck of bandwidth. I doubt that it would cost you more CPU to move these pieces sttings to launch an IPS sensor inside the box (ala Sourcefire).

  To minimize the bandwidth bottleneck, you can add Ethernet interfaces to your ESXi server and even to group several togther if you need more bandwidth, a single pair can offer.

• Backup & recovery disks

  I bought a Dell Inspiron 660 s with Windows 8 on it, I really hated Windows 8, so I also bought Windows 7 and has that back on my computer. Before I did this, I did a disk backup & recovery CD.

  Yes.

  I would like to point out something that you may not realize: Windows 8
  has two interfaces; the modern/Metro Interface (which may be all the)
  you have looked at) and the traditional desktop Interface. You can use
  one or both. This traditional desktop Interface is almost
  identical to the interface of Windows 7. the biggest difference is that
  There is no Orb start clicking to bring up the start menu.
  But note that you can get the ORB start by using one of the many
  third-party programs, are free or very cheap (the classic interface
  http://classicshell.sourceforge.NET/ and debut8 to
  http://www.stardock.com/products/start8/; my personal preference is
  Debut8, but they are both very good).  And goes from an interface to
  the other is very easy; There are several ways, but simply by pressing
  the Windows key is perhaps the easiest.
  I use Windows 8, almost exclusively with traditional workstations
  the interface and with 8 Start installed. If you were to look at and use
  my computer, you would have a hard time realizing that it is not
  Windows 7.
  I also recommend to read "how to make Windows 8 or 8.1 watch and.

• Supported high availability in a virtualized environment

  Hi guys,.

  is it supported software such as Veritas Cluster Server cluster in a real operating system in order to have the high Avalibility for my message store?

  According to the release of the latest Suite of Communication of information, it would be possible, any ideas?

  https://wikis.Oracle.com/display/CommSuite/common+release+information+for+Communications+Suite+7.0.6#CommonReleaseInformationforCommunicationsSuite7.0.6-SystemVirtualizationSupport

  Thank you

  Caius

  As indicated by the release notes as you pointed out, UCS does not specifically support or does not support any given platform virtualizataion - the virtual machine solution must be completely transparent to the application. If the OS and HA solution is supported by the UCS and HA solution running support in this virtual environment, then it is supported.
