• Best practices for backup of a VM Web server?

  This question comes from another thread, that I created, but I figure I might as well start a thread fresh since it is his own question.

  Basically, I have an environment that I inherited when I started my new job within this environment, there is a lonely VM that runs from our Web server and was created using VMware player (will go to the workstation for the snapshot feature).

  I am extremely concerned by the fact that there is no backup strategy for it, so I'm interested in finding the best way to save this virtual machine.

  Being that it's a machine virtual I instantly thought, but of course I'm open to dictate what best practices.

  A lot of what I've read so far indicates to stop or suspend the virtual machine, then copy files, however is there a way to do that without temporarily take down my Web server?  It's just that we have customers in the world that has access to the server to different time zones and I want her to be in place 24/7.

  You'll have to stop the Virtual Machine and close VMware Player and uninstall VMware Player to install VMware Workstation and it is the time where you should make a backup copy of the master of the Virtual Machine.  Once installed VMware Workstation and the Virtual Machine is back and then runs to reduce the minimum time for subsequent backups you necessarily do not do such proposed by Richardson Porto although I don't disagree with what he says.

  In theory anyway, and in practice, when you want to backup you would take a cliché Hot and then copy the Parent disk such that it is now read-only and the Virtual Machine is still running while you make a copy of the Parent disk.  Once you have copied the Parent disk, you can then remove the snapshot thus merging Delta and drive Parent and now ready for the next time you want to back up the drive.  The duration of that Virtual Machine is interrupted during the snapshot warm and hot snapshot delete should be considerably less and then stop and restart the virtual machine.  The reason why I said "in theory" because while it is supposed to work in practice, nevertheless if you correctly shutdown the guest operating system before capture instant, so you do not rely on VMware Workstation to make sure that everything works all in being hot.  Not that you should have problems, it's hot, however you remove a layer of the process that has the potential of being wrong compared to when is cold, even if it is cold takes a little longer.

  In both cases, I would avoid cloning because it changes the UUID and MAC address of the clone of the parent company and by creating a second occurrence technically need a second license for the Windows operating system that is installed on the cloned virtual machine.  In other words an archived copy complete or exact unedited from the original is a legitimate backup a clone of IMO is a second occurrence but it has a different UUID and MAC address.  It would be like taking a copy of the operating system with a single license and install on two different physical computers.  Also by doing as I have suggested and make a backup copy of Master of the Virtual Machine and then just save the Parent read-only disks disk hard virtual are themselves not a computer virtual and just that copy a backup, however can be used to restore the same Virtual Machine driven and not having not any changes in the UUID MAC addresses etc.

  Finally, you should look into what you are running in the guest operating system and how to properly save Web Site and database, or user data etc in the guest operating system.  In other words, you should always have a copy backup of the virtual machine and everything that is necessary in the guest operating system to be able to restore it without necessarily restore all of the Virtual Machine.  IMO it's better to have several and backup types to have more options in a recovery scenario!

• Best practices for backup service console configuration

  Hello

  When you install our ESX servers, I did what I thought was best practices and created a "backup" vswitch with a second service console. Two service consoles have IP addresses on the same subnet.

  They work very well for several weeks. But today, I had a problem connecting to the consoles of the virtual machines on one of our ESX host. After much troubleshooting, I found doc below...

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?language=en_US & externalId = 749640

  In point 8, it is said to make sure that you do not have 2 consoles of service on the same network. (Either by the way once I removed the backup vswitch I could access the consoles.)

  I so wanted to check this - should I not create these backup service consoles?

  TIA,

  H

  You don't have to second service console, just a second link to SC.

  Add a NIC to portgroup SC (it can be standby NIC), which would be enough.

• Best practices for backup of vCenter device and ESXi hosts?

  Hello

  I have a new VMware environment based on 5.5 ESXi and vCenter Server Appliance. A few questions:

  • What is the best practice to perform the backup of the vCenter Server Appliance? I set up the camera with the embedded SQL Express database.
  • It's recommended to backup the ESXi host or is it easier to any re - install failure?

  Best regards

  Hello

  You can use VMware VDP to backup your device of vCenter. It is included in essentials, standard, enterprise, and enterprise as well as licenses.

  I won't have backups of ESXi servers. Restore the backup would take more time that the deployment of a new ESXi.Only thing, you may want to consider is to enable logging remotely, so you can see why the hosts failed.

• Best practices for backup of virtual machine.

  Hello guys,.

  I have a question about the virtual machine snapshot backup option.

  In our environment, we use symantec netbackup and it is managed by an administrator of aid. It has implemented the process in a way where the snapshot of the virtual machine is scheduled and then the snapshot is saved in netbackup daily. Once the snapshot backup process is completed, the snapshot is deleted.

  My concerns:

  1 - remove the snapshot - wouldn't it increase the size of the virtual machine every day?

  2 - is enough to restore the virtual machine snapshot disaster?

  3. what happens if a virtual machine has a lot of snapshots?

  Please help.

  A snapshot (delta) file contains only data blocks that have been changed and a reference to their original location in the virtual disk Basic. Maybe http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1015180 helps to clarify this.

• VMware has a guide of best practices for backup of VMware View & DR?

  How to properly protect a server with VMware View VMware vSphere running? Our RPO/RTO is ideally < 2 hrs?

  We have 100 customers and we use a roaming profile. TIA

  Hello

  Haven't seen specific guides. There are a few examples of 3rd party that might give you some ideas. VCenter Heartbeat also supports the component View Composer.

  Little old (2009), but interesting to read:

  http://www.EMC.com/collateral/software/technical-documentation/h6534-business-continuity-VMware-view-Celerra-VMware-SRM-blueprint.PDF

  Maybe the next version of view could address this? If you use roaming profiles, and then you just a way to replicate users DR and point to the DR View Pool, failover would take only a DNS change. Dealing with linked clones and persistent readers makes many tricker.

  I would consider the XP VM to throw objects, is the user customization, you need to reproduce for them in DR.

• AF best practices for video

  I'm using an EOS 7 d for 1080 p HD video shooting. New to SLR camera and digital video. I have watched several tutorials but do not yet have a good understanding of what the best practices for the development.

  If I put the camera in AI Servo it will auto focus if the subject is moving away or toward me with depress me back AF-ON or the shutter button? Or should I press one of these buttons to make the camera continues to focus?

  You know tutorials or video lessons that cross using update with the video?

  Thanks in advance!

  I don't know any tutorials, but more serious videographers say it is best to use only the manual focus.

  Trial and error is a good teacher, when it comes to video DSLR. You'll quickly learn that video Auto Focus is really bad with the 7 d and most of the people do not use it all together.

  The method that works for me is to use AF before the filming of the video and then adjust manually if you want to you to shoot the video. With the help of f/8 or f/11 to keep everything in short without having to keep the setting.

  More recent Canon DSLR's like the T4i, T5i, 70 d and SL1 have a "hybrid AF" that does a much better job of AF during video, but it is not yet as good as a camcorder

• I would like to know the "best practices" for unplugging my computer permanently to the internet and other updates.

  Thank you for taking the time to read this. I would like to know the "best practices" for unplugging my computer permanently to the internet and other updates. I thought I would do a clean install of Windows XP, install my Microsoft Works again and nothing else. I would like to effectively transforming my computer into a word processor. He continues more and more slow. I get blue screen errors, once again. I received excellent Microsoft Support when it happened before, but since my computer is around 13 years, I think it is not worth the headache to try to remedy. I ran the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor, and my computer would not be able to upgrade. Please, can someone tell me how to make it only a word processor without updates or internet connection? (I already have a new computer with Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium, it's the computer that I use. The old computer is just sitting there and once a week or so I updates.) I appreciate your time, thank you!

  Clean install XP sites
  You can choose which site to reinstall XP.

  Once it is installed, then you do not have to connect what anyone, however, some updates may be required to perform the work, test this by installing work and see if you get an error msg. Except that you should be fine.

• HP stream 11-d008tu: best practices for migrating to Windows 10?

  Hey there, I have a HP flow 11-d0008tu and received the notification I can upgrade to Windows 10. I want to do a clean install with a downloaded ISO but knowledge first of all, it is better to upgrade so that you get the activation done.

  Can someone give me some ideas on best practices for the upgrade? The stream has only 30GB HD so I have no recovery disk, I'll just do a recovery later on USB or SD card. When I do the upgrade can deselect recovery option or delete?

  Also, any other suggestions appreciated, especially which helps make effective for small HD

  See you soon

  Hi, I posted an installation procedure for Windows 10 fresh for the Tablet HP Stream here.  Also, I have a laptop 11 flow but do not have that yet. I think it must be the same because they both the same drive of mem 32 GB Hynix. A change would you probably want to use the 64-bit instead of 32-bit Windows 10 ISO file, the Tablet has only 1 GB of RAM.

• Just improved m tips on best practices for sharing files on a Server 2008 std.

  The field contains about 15 machines with two domain controllers, one's data is the app files / print etc...  I just upgraded from 2003 to 2008 and want to get advice on best practices for the establishment of a group of file sharing. Basically I want each user to have their their own records, but also a staff; folder. Since I am usually accustomed to using windows Explorer, I would like to know if these actions can be done in the best conditions. Also I noticed on 2008 there is a feature of contacts. How can it be used? I would like to message or send an email to users their file locations. Also, I want to implement an admin at a lower level to handle the actions without making them far in on the server, not sure.

  I read a certain bbut I don't like test direct more because it can cause problems. So basically a way short and neat to manage shares using the MMC, as well as the way that I approach their mail from the server of their actions. Maybe what kind of access cintrol or permissions are suitable also for documents. Also how can I have them use office templates without changing the format of the model.

• Best practices for vsphere 5.1

  where can I find the doc more up-to-date about berries EQL configuration / best practices with vmware vsphere 5.1

  Hello

  Here is a link to a PDF file that covers best practices for ESXi and EQL.

  Best EqualLogic practices ESX

  en.Community.Dell.com/.../20434601.aspx

  This doc mentions specifically that the storage Heartbeat VMKernel port is no longer necessary with ESXi v5.1.  VMware has corrected the problem that made it necessary.

  If you add it to a 5.1 system it will not hurt.  It will take an IP address for each node.

  If you upgrade 5.0 to 5.1, you can delete it later.

  Here is a link to VMware which addresses this issue and has links to other Dell documents which confirm also that it is fixed in 5.1.

• [ADF, JDev12.1.3] Best practices for maintaining a form validation

  Hallo,

  in my application, I need to create a registration form which contains fields that must be validated (for example they should follow a format like e-mail, phone number, tax code,...).

  If the data inserted by the user are ok, a new record in my custom db table Users will be created.

  I would like to know which are the best practices for maintaining the validation, which means the place where the controls must be made and a message to the user who fills out the form when something goes wrong.

  The best vo or EO or managed bean? Or some controls should be put in the OS, others in the VO and other in the managed bean?

  I would be happy if you could give me some examples.

  Thank you

  Federico

  Assuming you want the validation on the value of the field to any screen data can be entered in (and possibly web services that rely on the same BC ADF) then put the validation on the definition of the attribute in the EO.

  If you want to add a little more friendliness and eliminate some of the network traffic to the server, you can also implement the validation client in your page - for example by using the regular expression validator.

• Best practices for color use in Adobe CC?

  Hi all

  Is there an article that describes the best practices for use of color in Adobe CC?

  I produce a mixture of viewing online (PDF, for the most part) and real world print projects - often with the obligation for both. I recently updated my PANTONE + bridge books for the first time in ages and I am suddenly confused by the use of Lab colors in the Adobe Suite (Illustrator and InDesign).

  Everything I found online, looks like Lab color mode preferred to use because it is device independent. And perceptual (on screen), it looks much closer to the color, it is trying to represent. But when I mark a Spot color Illustrator rectangle using laboratory coordinates, to the sides of a rectangle using PANTONE + bridge CP and then export it to PDF, the version of CP to mix CMYK color corresponds exactly to my Pantone book - while the version of laboratory (after converted to CMYK using the ink Manager) is far away.

  I have this fantasy to manage only a single Illustrator or InDesign file for both worlds (PDF) printed and online. Is not possible in practice?

  Any info describing the basic definitions of the color modes - or even a book tracing more than use them in the real world - would be much appreciated!

  Thank you

  Bob

  Here are a few best practices you can already do.

  1 make sure that your color settings are synchronized on all applications.

  2. use a CMYK profile appropriate for your print output. Lab spot colors convert to CMYK values based on the CMYK icc profile.

  3. include icc profiles when save or export pdf files

  In theory, your imagination is possible today. It requires color management and the use of icc profiles. You can place RGB images in InDesign and use Pantone colors in your objects. The problem lies in the printers. If a printer uses a RIP with built in Pantone library, the colors will match when printing. Unfortunately, this kind of CUT is more expensive and not enough printers use them. Most of them is always manually approximate CMYK values composition given Pantone colors.

• Best practices for managing exceptions and success messages.

  Hey people,

  These days I've been shooting packages to clean my application. And question came to my mind, ' should I treat my exceptions the right way?

  
  So I want to ask you met guys, what is the best practice for this? (I want to learn it until it's too late )

  Currently I have a function that returns "OK" if all goes well.

  
  

  return('OK');  

  Can I manage my exceptions like this

    EXCEPTION
      WHEN OTHERS THEN
        ROLLBACK;
        RETURN (SQLERRM);
  
  

  At THE SUMMIT, I have a process that calls the function and then checks if the function returned "OK".

       IF cRet not LIKE 'OK%' THEN
        RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(-20000,cRet);
       END IF;
  
  

  And in 'process Error Message' I put "#SQLERRM_TEXT #" so that I can see what error occurred.

  Question aside, how do you manage your messages of success?

  Currently in 'process success Message' put something along the lines "Action completed successfully". What to do about all the processes.

  Do you want to do differently?

  I really want to hear what you have to say since I'm tired of feeling like this is a terrible way to manage these things.

  Hi Para,

  Para wrote:

  I don't know of situations where my service throw exceptions like no_data_found.

  and I need to know that the process is not so I can get to see my # #SQLERRM_TEXT.

  I got this by increasing the error in the application (which I think is a bad way to go) if the return is anything other than 'OK '. I get my application error in the process of the apex, and not in my service.
  And I want to show the inline error in the notification. (Which I am currently with my approach).

  You can use APEX_ERROR. ADD_ERROR in your PL/SQL process to throw exceptions in Oracle APEX.
