• Installation of VMware Consolidated Backup with vRanger connection - first installation

  I want to install VCB (for the first time) that will be integrated with Vizioncore vRanger connection.

  Does anyone have a better practice and document installation on the installation of the VCB process?

  Also someone with experience integrating connection VCB with vRanger?

  Thank you all...

  Follow the instructions of vizioncore.  They pretty much say on complete installation.  This is the best practice.

  vRanger connection works very well with VCB.  Install connection vRanger first then install the VCB proxy for vRanger connection.

• Backup DR with vRanger connection devices

  Having Dr. devices dealing with VM backups on-site, but one of the questions that arise is the time of the backup. It takes about 8 hours to backup the SQL files every night. Just to let you know its all upwards in a virtual machine environment.

  Can incorporating vRanger of connection or AppAssure with DR unit affect backup performance?

  Is there a whitepaper on this?

  Thank you!

  Hi Geeka,
  Depending on how you are currently using the device DR with vRanger connection, your current solution could be improved.

  If you are simply using the DR as a CIFS share there is another way.

  vRanger connection also supports the Dell RDA technology, which can provide a level of deduplication side source.

  Consider implementing vRanger connection Virtual appliances (one per host), or one per cluster, your choice, the virtual devices include technology of the GDR.

  Configure the virtual machine backups to cross Virtual Appliances and target (GDR/RDS) container on the Dominican Republic.

  The backup will be a snapshot of the virtual machine, but use hot add technology to fix the disks to the virtual appliance, data are then broadcast through the virtual appliance to the GDR DR container. At the point where the data leaves the appliance virtual it's pattern matched with data stored on the Dominican Republic. All blocks that match are not sent.

  This reduces network traffic and allows backups to do more.

  If you want to add the technology to the protection of SQL as an agent-based application, then take a look at NetVault Backup, it will be directly interfacing with SQL via VDI or VSS, providing full, incremental and differential backups. It's agents also include the GDR technology and can provide source de-duplication to a DR GDR container.

  AppAssure also has an agent and can protect the content of the full virtual machine, including the SQL instance, but it will require its own server and storage and does not directly allow the DR unit to store the initial backup data. It can create Archives of data sets that can be moved from AppAssure on the good DR database server, but it's more for long-term storage.

  I hope this helps.

  See you soon,.

• Why I can boot into safe mode with internet connection, use the operating system, etc., but can not open a normal session without password administrator; who got the disabled.

  OEM Vista Home Premium. Normal startup does not recognize the password. When you click User icon it says: "your account has been disabled. Please, see your system administrator"I looked in the mirror, but it did not help. Booted, press F8, went in safe mode with network connection. Everything seemed to be there. Surf the internet and then started to ask me why I don't have a password here when I did normal start-up. What is the password? Check "Microsoft Answers", but what I came out which was, I need to reinstall the OS, which I can't do it without a drive anyway.  I thought that I've used it before, I knew the password. This computer has been recently "reinstalled" internal folder 'restore '. Something must happen. A unknown password can be removed from safe mode? Ultimately how reinstall you a clean Vista when all you have is the key to product and no local or OEM support? What would be the difference between a password reset disk and the OS disk.  The two would probably be stored side by side. Not to mention that most of us Dummies want to just surf to buy, and if we can not surf, we cannot buy. Dummies help us get back on the internet, Microsoft. At least take care of this shot.

  Hi PAM,.

  In Safe Mode, try to activate the high administrator account http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/enable-the-hidden-administrator-account-on-windows-vista/.  Then log in using account and use it to solve problems with your normal administrator account login via control panel / user accounts / manage other accounts.  Find the one you want and make the appropriate changes to fix it.  If you can't, then you need to address as a corrupt account by using the following procedure:

  To fix this use http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-vista/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile.  If this is the only available administrator profile (you must be an administrator to solve this problem), activate the hidden administrator account (HAA) (i.e. what you did above, or you can do this by using these instructions instead: http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9001970/How_to_access_the_true_Administrator_account_in_Windows_Vista?taxonomyId=17&pageNumber=1.)

  Once that is done, don't forget to disable the HAA to save it in case it is necessary once again and for safety reasons (since people often try to hack into systems using this account).  Do NOT use the HAA as your administrator account because if you lose the only administrator on the system account or it is damaged again, then you're watered.

  The fact that it says it is disabled gives me to think that you can use the guest or built-in Administrator account already (as normally, you cannot disable an account, but you can with these two which cannot be deleted and only disabled).

  The password reset disk is only good if created before that you need and only to restore a password, do not to activate a disabled account.  Another thing that goes beyond passwords here.

  A recovery disk allows you to do some advanced options of recovery by booting the disk, but it will help you restore the operating system (or help you with this problem either).

  An Installation of Vista genuinve disc (the operating system drive as you seem to be describing) is a disk that contains the operating system.  That, if it is the original disc supplied with the system and is exactly the same as the product OEM key that you must allow you to do a clean OS install (although I would be first backup you'll pretty much lost everything in the process).  The following should help: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-vista.html.

  If you have a factory Conditions or a recovery Partition restore disk, then these are alternatives to a clean install if you don't have this disc.  But the procedure varies according to the manufacturer, make and model of PC.  Most of the manufacturers will allow you to buy these records of restoration (for a fee) If you cannot do it with a recovery Partition cannot create diskettes from the recovery Partition or have no other option.  Visit the support site of the computer for information on this topic, available options, and related costs.

  If you cannot enable the built-in Administrator account and cannot access the system in normal mode with this or another administrator account, then I'm afraid a clean install or restore to factory conditions is your only option.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Now that the VDR, it's here... all the benefits of continuing with vRanger connection?

  So we do the upgrade to vSphere and I am just wondering should even not bother renewing all my connection vRanger Pro licenses?  Anyone else out there he ditch their 3rd party backup or is there another reason to keep?

  Ask yourself what you want on your VM backups and see if vDR meets these needs. We use vDR instead of VCB now and are very happy with it. It lacks some features, but it comes with vSphere and is better than VCB.

  Once that your virtual machines are upgraded to version 7 hardware backups go faster too. Capacity integrated to establish an archive preset or custom is nice also.

  In addition, the notion that a product should not be used until the day 1 or service pack 1 is far away. Try it yourself and if you are comfortable with it, go ahead. Fear to use products to first release comes from MS products for most horror stories, and the last time I checked VMware is not Microsoft.

• Replace the vCenter without redoing the vRanger connection configuration?

  Hi all

  Experimenting with the new device of VMware vCenter, I ran into a problem with vRanger connection.  I disconnected a host of our existing facility of vCenter and added successfully to the new VCSA.  I also added the new VCSA vRanger connection configuration.  vRanger connection sees the new vCenter, as well as the ESXi host on the new vCenter.

  The problem I see is that jobs do not now for the virtual machines on the host has moved.  I can see the jobs tab in my work, but when I try to run one of them, he fails almost instantly:

  Inventory [vm-11529] node is on a disconnected virtual circuit:

  The work is no longer present in my inventory tab, under the virtual machine in question (I have individual tasks for each virtual computer).  Is there a way to retarget 'with' the new vCenter without having to set up new jobs for each virtual computer after migration?  My concerns are the time to set up 30 + new jobs, the possibility of having to do a backup complete out of sequence, and our peripheral dedupe (ExaGrid) see this new backup as a new source of backup, causing the backup to break chain and forcing the use of the double the hard drive space on our ExaGrids until our retention period is completely recycled (3-4 months).

  Any ideas?

  Thank you

  Judge Quinn

  Quinn,

  Let me be clear. Now your ESX hosts are managed by VCSA, and this one has its own new database. In this case, all the stored in the configuration store object ID is invalid. I'm not familiar with VCSA yet, but if it works with VMware PowerCLI, you should be able to get new IDS and update InventoryNodeVirtualizationObjectId in the BackupTemplateTask table.

  Here is a PowerCLI procedure to get new VM ID. It works with regular, not sure of VCSA VC.

• VRanger connection... not much .anyone know?

  VRanger connection with ESXi using seems to be a great mystery for both people vizioncore and vmware.  None of them could tell me what I need.

  I have ESXi installed and works with licensed Essentials Foundation.  I use the latest version of vRanger Pro connection and are still unable to the point where he sees my ESX host in the GUI.

  I went KB vRanger connection and typed in ESXi and NOTHING!

  I added the host ESX vRanger connection using the root account and takes it, but nothing appears in the list of hosts.  I tried to create an account on the ESX host admin, but it wrong when I tried to use it in the vRanger connection gui.

  (MB). Here, any help would be great!  Someone at - it this work with ESXi?  What licenses you had to get VMware to get there?

  Thank you!

  That's right, you will need at least VI3 Foundation and vCenter Foundation to back it up with vRanger connection.  I would check what are the requirements to get the latest version (4.0), but I know what are the requirements for 3.x.  If you are looking for a complete recommended alternative, I would look to Veeam Backup.  It is a really nice product and costs about the same as vRanger connection.

• Server for vmdk hardware backups using vRanger connection

  Hello

  We try to implement vRanger connection for backup of our VMS (ESX 3.5) and would like to have installed on a stand-alone server. There are currently 36 VMs that is likely to grow. Each virtual machine has a disk of 10 GB C residing in SAN. We want to save these files vmdk SAN to the server where vRanger connection is installed.

  Could anyone here suggest some options for a server to have it put in place? Given that the size of the files would be around 400 GB for now and much more later, the speed of the hard drive must be considered too.

  Thank you.

  Cool! So what kind of records should I go then?

  What is your budget?  SAS is the fastest, but we are talking here about 400GB drive will cost twice what a single 1.2 to or even 1.5 TB SATA.  Even if you have the budget for it, it's a complete waste of money, since you can get 4 times the storage for the same price.

  RAID 0 will give you the most performance, however if you keep several revisions on your backup disk, maybe not prudent to use the RAID 0 in the long term, but there again this depends on your backup strategy, you want backups LONG or SHORT term?  If you make full backups every week, as we do, RAID 0 is fine.  We can accept the risk given that do us COMPLETE each week and because backups are unexpected, not to archive, it is not a big problem for us, but every company is different.

  Network is not your main concern, however, if you have a decent network of 1 GB, that's all you need.  Just buy whatever you can afford for storage, if backup speed is your main concern, go SAS, if not go SATA.

• vRanger connection 7.1.1 and vCenter 5.5 - open filters causing high memory use vpxd?

  Hello

  Displays the first time, hoping you can help me. We are big consumers of vRanger connection in our environment, we use multiple instances to save the production, test, dev, VDI, etc. (6 cases total). Recently, we met our vRanger 7.1.1 connection servers and our vCenter to 5.5 Update 2 b. Since then, every evening when our nightly backups occur to our use of memory for vpxd on our vCenter server (process vpxd.exe) increases, and it remains standing and rising again every night until the that vCenter grave service failed due to memory exhaustion. After 2 weeks of troubleshooting with VMware, their senior engineers think that connection vRanger not close correctly filters, leaving a large number of them that causes the memory out is not in the system.

  Are you aware of any issues like this being reported elsewhere? I tried to find other peoples identify this problem, but it seems that we are the first. Please help, thanks!

  We have not seen this issue in our lab, but we currently 5.5 2d update.  I recommend that you open a support casel

• Slow connection with 9 EMU using mandatory profiles with the folder redirection MSFT (Windows 7)

  I have been recently UEM9, AppVol 2.10 in my environment of Horizon 7 on some Machines Windows 7 Linked Clone (systems no-no intentionally) initially the connection time was around 30secs with Agent display 7, UEM9, AppVol 2.10 installed with a mandatory profiles with the folder redirection MSFT (Windows 7), but as I expanded stable about 30 user... and they started to use the system on a regular basis I started to do & see logins for one more minute. Nothing has changed in my environment and the material is extremely less use so Im trying to figure out what is causing the delay in the connection. Does anyone else know extremely long connections using UEM9?

  I could solve this problem by updating 10.0.6 to 10.0.8 vmware tools. This login corrected and the performance of the virtual desktop.

• vRanger connection 7.1.1 migrate again vCenter

  Hello!

  I have to build a replacement vCenter server in a new physical data center and we are * not * re-use of existing vCenter DB, it will be a new database.

  I read a few forum messages:

  http://en.community.Dell.com/TechCenter/data-protection/f/4784/t/19555352

  The conflicts of the article above with Guide from Dell:

  https://support.software.Dell.com/vRanger/KB/82362

  The replacement vCenter server is already online, I just need help to plan my activities of migration in order to ensure the backup jobs/history will not be lost.

  Thank you!

  While the support KB illustrates the method to directly modify the database connection vRanger table, I would recommend a case of pension to the best advice of opening.

  If you go down the road to edit the database, please note that incorrect updates or deletions to the data in the database can make it unusable. Please make a backup of SQL Server database or save the prior VM (using vRanger connection) vRanger connection for any changes.

  It is best to open a pension case.

  I will add a new element of the road map for vRanger connection consider whether we can allow editing of the address of vCenter.

• vFoglight, vRanger connection & vCenter

  Hi all.
  We have recently updated our virtual environment for vSphere 4U1 with 6 blades connected in vCenter ESX.
  We currently have vRanger connection and vCenter installed on the same physical machine attached to the San. He is currently a backup ok.
  My question is that we now intend to run vFoglight. I read that vFoglight love using as many resources as it can get, and it is recommended to install it on its own box. If none of the scenarios are considered as 'ok' to do?
  1. install the three products (vCenter, vRanger connection, vFoglight) on the same physical machine.
  2. install vCenter and vFoglight on the same machine physics and vRanger connection on a virtual machine.
  3. install vRanger connection and vCenter on the same physical box (essentially a backup box) and on its own virtual vFoglight.
  4. all the separate (and if yes, the best being in the physical box). (it can't really as I'm trying to consolidate servers)
  I hope someone can enlighten us on this one and I can make it work.
  Bravo for that.
  Concerning
  Feng

  Hi AuscoIT...
  (1) No, don't do it. You will be pointing out the machine with all three products running on it too.
  (2) is not recommended either, as vCenter performs many vital operations (taking snapshots, the migration of virtual machines, cloning, HA, etc.), and the last thing you want is vFoglight "hungry" this machine of the resources he needs.
  (3) is not recommended either, although I've seen it before. This, in my mind, creates an unnecessary risk, as if you lose your VC machine, you also lose connection vRanger machine, etc., and it would inhibit your effort of DR.
  (4) If you require on SAN backups, you must have vRanger connection on a physical machine. You could 'make do' with the #3 configuration, but once again, several reasons not to do. The physical machine connection vRanger doesn't have to be ultra powerful, if, then perhaps you could get in with a former dedicated server? If you are ready to go straight to the goal the LAN-based backups, then a virtual machine for vRanger connection is perfectly adequate, as it does not move a lot of data (the ESX hosts carry the burden it). You can compare the costs and benefits, depending on the size of your environment is, and how long is your backup window. We have enough big clients who are perfectly happy with the LAN-based backups.
  I hope this helps...
