Copy Clone VM on the remote host?

We currently have a Vcenter configuration limited to 3 guests.  I am creating a system for disaster, assuming that our main centre of recovery should fail.

So, I need to program a clone of the VM are held every week - but then I need to copy this clone to a remote host which is not in the same data center, although it IS on the same network.

Is there a way to achieve side manually remove a host to Vcenter and adding remote host (4th) whenever I want to copy?

If I copy the clone on an external drive, I have to copy it again to the remote host.  It is 2 instances of copy on the network and which can last for hours.

I want to reduce it to a single copy and perhaps even automate it with a script, but I don't know everything that the CLI in ESXi.

Any ideas are appreciated.

Understandable, I thought you wanted to just copy of VMDK but a clone first takes a snapshot of the virtual machine. This removes the lock on the base VMDK. ESXi can run rsync, but it is not supported. It is perhaps a bit over your head because you have no experience with Linux.

What you could do is however if sure the source host and destination have access to the same storage. Then plan a clone to the virtual machine, but leave it turned off permanently. In the case of DR, on the other host, go to the data store, select the virtual machine folder, right-click the .vmx and say file added to the inventory. You can then restart it on another host. Or the DR host only has local storage?

    Hi dva8377,

    Here are two additional methods you can try.

    1: Restart the computer by using a clean boot of the method

     

    When you start Microsoft Windows, other software may start with the operating system. These programs may include antivirus software and system programs that may interfere with the game. When you perform a clean restart procedure, you prevent these programs from starting automatically.

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

    Method 2: Bypass the router

     

    If you connect to the Internet using a router, there may be a problem with the configuration settings, which requires that the updated settings. To determine if a network connectivity problem is caused by a bad configuration or a problem affecting the router, try bypassing the router by connecting your computer directly to the modem. Remember that this test will only check that the router is configured correctly. If the game connects to the Internet without problem when you bypass the router, plug the router immediately and contact the manufacturer of the router or your ISP for help configure the router correctly.

    Note: Ensure that you switch your computer to normal startup mode after completing the troubleshooting steps. Steps are available in the article above.

  • Unable to ping the remote host IP address

    I have a home network with 2 desktop computers, printer, TV and BlueRay attached.  The PC is both XP and members of the same workgroup.  I can't get the connectivity between the PC 2.  With 1 PC, I ping successfully all connected devices, with the exception of 2 PC.  2 PC, I ping equipment successfully connected, including 1 PC...  I get the same information using a different router and a different network on 2 PC card.

    I tried the following steps of the Article 314067:

    1. check on two PC's TCP/IP configuration.  Result: good on both PCs.

    2. use the ping tool to test connectivity.

    • Ping the loopback address.  Result: good on both PC
    • Ping to the IP address of the local computer.  Result: good on both PC
    • Ping the IP address of the default gateway.  Result: good on both PCs.
    • Ping to the IP address of the remote host.  Result: bad on PC 1, good on PC 2
    • Ping other IP addresses on the network.  Result: good on both PCs.
    • Ping the host name of the other PC.  Result: bad on PC 1, good on PC 2

    Article:

    If the ping command fails, the remote host may not be responding, or there may be a problem with the hardware of network between computers. To the rule

    on a remote host does not respond, use Ping again to a different remote host.

    If you cannot use Ping successfully at any time, verify the following configurations:

    1. Make sure that the IP address of the local computer is valid and that it is correct on the

    Tab general of the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) properties dialog or box when it is used with the Ipconfig tool.  Result: good on both PC

    Make sure that the default gateway is configured and that the link between the host and the default gateway works. For the purposes of troubleshooting, make sure that this gateway by default is configured. You can configure multiple default gateways, gateways after the first gateway is used only if the IP stack determines that the original gateway is not working. Diagnosis is to determine the State of the first configured gateway. Therefore, you can delete all the other gateways to simplify your task.  Result: good on both PC
    Make sure that Internet Protocol security (IPSec) is not enabled. According to the IPSec policy, Ping packets may be blocked or may require security. For more information about IPSec, go to method 7: Verify Internet Protocol security (IPSec).  Result: good on both PC

    Thanks for your suggestions you may have.

    Hello

    Firewall such as Norton, McAfee etc can cause a loss of network connectivity, even when the network is correctly configured. Try disabling the firewall on both computers to see if the ping works.

  • Unable to connect to the MKS: the certificate of the remote host has these problems:

    Hello

    We have a host of ESXi 4 cluster running any vSphere 4.1.  Recently, I started to upgrade to update 2 and all the additional fixes.  After the upgrade of the vCentre server to the latest version (or maybe before I can't noticed) an of are hosts began to show the following error whenever I tried to connect to the console of any guest on this host.

    If you can connect to the Console remotely using VMware Infrastructure (VI) Client connected directly to the host, take a look at vmware KB to connect to a remote virtual machine fails with the error: the certificate of the remote host has these problems

    but more generally - remove host to vCenter inventory and then add the host to the back, take a look at opening in the console of the virtual machine after a new installation of ESXi or ESX fails with the error: the host certificate chain is not complete and could not connect to the MKS: the certificate of the remote host has these problems

  • On the remote host MySQL database: password encryption?

    Hello

    I discovered the world of PHP and MySQL in the last days. I didn't get all the intricacies still but nevertheless I managed to set up a server "localhost" on my computer, create a MySQL database and display correctly information in this database in HTML using PHP pages.

    I am now at the stage of transferring it to the remote host where the site will happen: I exported my database, imported these information in the database on the server host and I n unexpectedily even just to get my PHP/HTML pages to connect to this database. It's great.

    I have one question. I've read a lot of thread in this forum about this, but haven't seen an answer: must the password encryption? I mean, when I connect to a database using DW CS4, the software creates for me a connections folder in my Web site root folder and stores inside a little PHP to the folder with the server name, database name, user name and password which are necessary to allow PHP to connect to the MySQL database. It is all printed clearly in there. Once which is transferred to the remote host, it is always accessible to anyone? Should I not worry and try to hide the password?

    Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.

    Emilie

    Thread moved to Dreamweaver application development forum, which addresses other issues aside and PHP/MySQL server.

    As long as the server is enabled in PHP, put the connection details in a PHP file like this is not a problem. PHP code is processed on the server. Only its output is sent to the browser. Even if someone guesses the name of your connection file, they won't see anything if they try to load the page in a browser. The only way they can see it is to hack into the server. It is important to have passwords on your FTP account.

  • The connection to the remote host has been lost.

    Seriously, almost every time I save a file and try to download it I get this error:

    The connection to the remote host has been lost. Click Refresh to reconnect.

    So I have to start again to download the file again... but no, I get this error again... until about 7 times then it will finally through. After that happening by once I have on a window of 2 minutes where I can download files without errors... then the cycle continues.

    This is driving me CRAZY! It happened for about 2 weeks. I have not recently changed all the server info. I used to download files on the same server from dreamweaver all the time with ease. My partner with the same configuration works always with ease. So why am I having so much trouble?

    I often have to troubleshoot PHP where I upload to the server to run it to see if it works, and I could have several times to download a file in the few minutes that becomes incredibly tedious task with this ongoing issue.

    Someone please help.

    Thank you!
