• 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 the services-config ADEP

  I need to develop a services - config.xml to connect to my project of the ADEP LCD screens.  Are there best practices I should be informed regarding the ADEP / interaction of LCDs in that regard?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hi Mike. You can use the CRXDE Lite Editor to modify the services - config.xml for a Data Services application that is deployed on the server of the experience.

  When you're in CRXDE Lite, go to:

  / etc/ASP/config/dataservices/services-config. XML

  Open the services - config.xml, make your changes and click Save all.

  After that, when you create a new 'Flex for ADEP experience Services' project in Flash Builder, the channelset-config information is copied in the services - config.xml in a config.xml file file - channelset is added to the directory of your Flex dataservices project and is also added to your project mxmlc compiler options.

• 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.

• Best practices for network configuration of vSphere with two subnets?

  Well, then I'll set up 3 ESXi hosts connected to storage shared with two different subnets. I configured the iSCSI initiator and the iSCSI with his own default gateway - 192.168.1.1 - targets through a Cisco router and did the same with the hosts configured with its own default gateway - 192.168.2.2. I don't know if I should have a router in the middle to route traffic between two subnets since I use iSCSI ports linking and grouping of NETWORK cards. If I shouldn't use a physical router, how do I route the traffic between different subnets and use iSCSI ports binding at the same time. What are the best practices for the implementation of a network with two subnets vSphere (ESX host network: iSCSI network)? Thank you in advance.

  Install the most common iSCSI would be traffic between hosts and

  the storage is not being routed, because a router it could reduce performance.

  If you have VLAN 10(192.168.1.0/24) iSCSI, VLAN 20 (192.168.2.0/24) ESX

  MGMT and VLAN 30 (192.168.3.0/24) comments VMs and VLAN 40 (192.168.4.0/24)

  vMotion a deployment scenario might be something like:

  NIC1 - vSwitch 0 - active VMK (192.168.1.10) MGMT, vMotion VMK (192.168.4.10)

  standby

  NIC2 - vSwitch 1 - current (VLAN30) guest virtual machine port group

  NIC3 - vSwitch 2 - active VMK1 (192.168.1.10) iSCSI

  NIC4 - vSwitch 2 - active VMK2 (192.168.1.11) iSCSI

  NIC5 - vSwitch 1 - current (VLAN30) guest virtual machine port group

  NIC6 - vSwitch 0 - MGMT VMK (192.168.2.10) standby, vMotion

  VMK (192.168.4.10) active

  You would place you on VLAN 10 storage with an IP address of something like target

  192.168.1.8 and iSCSI traffic would remain on this VLAN. The default value

  gateway configured in ESXi would be the router the VLAN 20 with an ip address of

  something like 192.168.2.1. I hope that scenario help set some options.

• Best practices for the installation of 10 GbE

  I have a new HP DL380G7 who has 4 cards on 1 G and 2 10 network interface cards.

  This will run VSphere 4.1 esxi

  I'm looking for some advice on what would be a good network for this server configuration.

  The storage will be NFS goes to a NAS Server

  I tried to create 2 vswitch one with one of the NICs embedded for the service console and the other switch was a team of the 10G env.

  Support Vmware told me that in this configuration, I had to make sure that the service console was on a different subnet from the kernel NFS or NFS traffic will try to go on the service console port.

  I tried this config but as soon as I add a Vkernel to the 2nd switch I am not out ping.

  So I thought I'd post here with what would be a best practice configuration for this server.

  In the first configuration, it is difficult to say which interface will be used for NFS traffic.  Therefore, it is not a recommended configuration.

  The second configuration must be correct.

• Best practices for the redundancy of the network in vSphere 4

  I'm running a cluster of production with 3 3850 m2 running at this time around 70 machines virtual, with more to come in the future.

  I have 6 CARDS each to use for networking.

  I'm not sure which is the best award of the NICs process.

  The redundancy for the VMKernel can I?

  Team for the Service Console NIC?

  I currently have the following:

  vswif0 Console of Service vmnic0

  vswif1 network of the VM vmnic3, 4, 5

  vswif2 VMotion vmnic1, 2 (different subnet)

  I have need of 3 NICs for the virtual machine or should I team the Service Console?

  It would be better to put a second Service Console on the Virtual Network machine's power switch, or do I have to put it on the switch of VMotion?

  My prefereence is for VMotion switch, but I'm ready to hear the recommendations of those wiser than me!

  I have 8 currently

  2 > SC (1 active, 1 standby on separate physical switches)

  3 > VMotion, FT, customer iSCSI PG (Etherchannel) MTU = 9000

  3 > VM PG VLAN (Etherchannel)

  previous to this, I had 4 I did:

  2 > SC, (2 active) VMotion, VST (vSwitch VLan Tagging)

  2 > VM (2 active) VLAN, VST (vSwitch VLan Tagging)

  Saw some problems with STP so separated back SC.

  6 as you do it sounds like a very good Setup.

  (2) SC, VMotion (active on each, Eve for each)

  (4) networking VM

  Don't forget that just them having active only effects not inbound traffic coming out unless you have all these ports in an Etherchannel configuration.  There is an example in the kB for this.  But depends on the amount of traffic all VM networks have if they network traffic a lot you could get by with less ports there.

  The SC definatally you want some kind of uplink port intelligence network as with ESX SC with HA ports check insulation network through these ports, so if this one is down which could lead to problems of isolation.  It's not like you'll do any FT? so it's something else to think about with the installation program.

• Own VLAN for the Service console

  Hello

  I was reading the esx3 best practices document and saw in it that it was recommended to the Service console on its own VLAN. I was wondering why... I can see why this with vMotion, but I'm not sure for the SC.

  Thank you

  The Service Console is a VM with access to the ESX kernel. If it is compromised, the attacker a free course on your virtual machines and VMFS leading to back and potential data theft. Using a VLAN independent is a way to strengthen security for the Service Console with the isolation.

• Best practices for dealing with Exceptions on members of storage

  We recently encountered a problem where one of our DistributedCaches was closing himself and restart due to a RuntimeException is thrown from our code (see below). As usual, it's our own code and we have updated to not throw a RuntimeException in all circumstances.
  
  I would like to know if there are some best practices for Exception handling, other than catching Exceptions and their record. We should always catch the Exceptions and ensure that they do not spread back to code that is running from the pot of consistency? Is it possible to configure consistency so that our DistributedCaches are not completed even when filters custom and other throw RuntimeExceptions?
  
  
  Thank you, Aidan
  
  
  Exception below:
  
  2010-02-09 12:40:39.222/88477.977 Oracle coherence GE < error > 3.4.2/411 (thread = DistributedCache:StyleCache, Member = 48): a (java.lang.RuntimeException) exception occurred reading Message AggregateFilterRequest Type = 31 for Service = DistributedCache {Name = StyleCache, State = (SERVICE_STARTED), LocalStorage = active, PartitionCount = 1021, BackupCount = 1, AssignedPartitions = 201, 204 = BackupPartitions}
  2010-02-09 12:40:39.222/88477.977 Oracle coherence GE < error > 3.4.2/411 (thread = DistributedCache:StyleCache, Member = 48): DistributedCache ending because of an exception not handled: java.lang.RuntimeException

  We have reproduced you problem in the House and it looks like a global filtering does not
  the correct thing (i.e. having caught a processed) when moving from a runtime exception.
  In general runtime exceptions should simply be exploited and returned to the application
  without compromising the cache server, so we will be solving it.

• 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.
