Creation of VM in local ESXi datastore for the backup of the data SAN with VMXNet 3 VM store

Hi all

I would like to know how you have configured your server to backup as a virtual machine?

My idea is to use the local data VMFS3 store on my 3 x ESXi servers,

by installing the application of part 3 (such as Veeam Backup 5 or Backup Exec 2010) in Windows Server 2008 R2 VM

equipped with size of very big hard drive (OS 8 GB + 1 TB VMDK data partition) on each of the local data store to save the computer virtual within the SAN.

What I have:

VMware vSphere essential 4 - ESXi 4.0 (not hot add)

Dell Power Edge 2950 with 2.5 to multiple VMFS3 extended on top - RAID 5 (6 x 500 GB SATAII 7200 RPM)

Reference Dell MD3000i iSCSI SAN on Gigabit Ethernet

The configuration of the Windows Server 2008 R2 VM:

2 x CPU @ 2.33 GHz

4 GB OF RAM

VMXNet3 NIC-> for better connectivity to the backup between the local data store ESXi and iSCSI-SAN data store.

Here's the reason why I'm doing this is that:

1. I don't have the additional NETWORK card to connect my physical server in iSCSI SAN THAT switch, so I can't use - SAN backup mode.

2. I only use the available lowest VMware license that can't stand the Hot-add the device function.

Would it be an optimal configuration?

Any kind of help and suggestion to implement backup VM VM would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Kind regards

From what I see of you think to do, you will get no advantage of using the VMXNET3 NIC, compared using an e1000 NIC... All your traffic will be on the connections of 1 GB, because you're leaving SAN local disk... If you had the VM on the SAN, or the same storage, the VMXNET3 NIC were going at speeds of internal circulation (could get you better than 1 GB, but I advise to test before committing)...

In addition, you will not be able to use a volume of OS 8 GB in Server 2008 R2... Bare minium is 32 GB (use plus 40 GB, which is that vSphere will use when you tell him to 2008 R2 for the operating system of the virtual machine)...

    Same thing here. Grayed. Windows 8.1 seems to fill the observer of events with many more errors than previous versions.

    Edit: OK, discovered why it is grayed out. There are 2 reg key, you must set permissions before going to the Configuration of DCOM in component services. The CLSID key and the APPID key.

    From another forum, although it applies to a different application, same principle:

    1. open Regedit.
    2. go in HKEY_Classes_Root\CLSID\ * CLSID *.
    Note: * CLSID * stand for the ID that appears in your event viewer error. In your case, it is {C2F03A33-21F5-47FA-B4BB-156362A2F239}.
    3. right-click on it and select authorization.
    4. click on Advance and change owner to administrator. Also click on the box that will appear below the threshold of owner.
    5. apply a full control.
    6. close the tab, then go to HKEY_LocalMachine\Software\Classes\AppID\ * APPID *.
    Note: * AppID * is the ID that appears in your event viewer. In your case, it is {316CDED5-E4AE-4B15-9113-7055D84DCC97}.
    7 right-click on it and select authorization.
    8. click on Advance and change the owner to administrators.
    9. click on the box that will appear below the line owner.
    10. click on apply and grant full control to the administrators.
    11. close all tabs and navigate to the administration tool.
    12. open component services.
    13. click on the computer, click my computer, and then click DCOM.
    14 find the corresponding service that appears on the display of the error.
    15. right-click on it, and then click Properties.
    16. click the Security tab, and then click Add a user. Add the SYSTEM and then apply.
    17. check enable local.

    Then use the relevant keys here and the DCOM Config utility should give you access greyed onareas:

  • Storage VMotion - a general error occurred: could not wait for the data.  Error bad0007.

    People,

    I searched through this forum and have not found an answer that works in many positions out there, I say to myself that I would ask him once again.

    Here's the context:

    We have 12 identical Dell M600 blades in 2 chassis with 16 GB of Ram, 2 x Xeon E5430, they are all connected to an Equallogic PS 5000XV iSCSI SAN on a separate iSCSI (vswitch1) with 2 cards network dedicated network and dedicated switch, console svc iscsi dedicated, dedicated VMkernel port for iscsi access. Net access (vswitch0) contains port groups VM for our various networks and a console port and vmkernel svc for VMotion with 2 separate NETWORK cards as well.

    We are running ESX 3.5 U3 and VCenter 2.5 U3 on Win2k3 R2

    VMotion works between all servers, Storage Vmotion works for most machines, HA works and the value 2 host failurs with no monitoring of vm, DRS is set to manual for now I have a few machines on the local stores that I complete my rebuilt LUN, there is no set of rules for DRS and VMware EVC is enabled for guests of the Intel. However, I'll just describe one machine to do svmotion below.

    Here's the problem:

    I'm trying to Svmotion via svmotion.pl - interactive, a Machine to Windows 2000 with a virtual disk and a virtual RDM. I am aware of the requirements for the RDM and required parameters for svmotion, independent is not selected for the RDM, and I also have svmotioned several machines linux and win2k3 with the same configuration without problem. In the interactive session, I choose to individually place the disks and I chose the virtual disk to only the virtual machine to be moved, essentially, as I saw it move vdisk virtual machine and then copy to the pointer of the RDM.

    The use of the processor in this machine is about 25% average. but I try to run migrations at the time the lowest. and The Host it itself shows only about 5.5 GB of the 16 GB of RAM used. so I think we're good on the RAM. the volume/datastore that I'm migrating from has 485 GB free and the volume/datastore I migration towards a 145 GB free. the VM virtual disk is only about 33 GB.

    I run the script the windows version of the RCLI svmotion. and when to begin the process, I get the following error at around 2 percent of the progress:

    "Since the server has encountered an error: a general error occurred: could not wait for the data."  Error bad0007. Invalid parameter. »

    After searching around, I found the following hotfixes to the U2 release notes

    • Migrate.PageInTimeoutResetOnProgress: Set the value to 1.

    • Migrate.PageInProgress: The value 30, if you get an error even after the setting of the Migrate.PageInTimeoutResetOnProgress variable.

    I've made these changes, and I still get the same error.

    When I dig in the newspaper, I see these entries in the journal of vmkwarning:

    The vmkernel on out of memory error, I had that before. And vmware support recommends setting 800M Max service console memory. And I did it and have no problems after that.

    See if that helps the issue.

  • How can I get the lines for the date between 2 different days

    Hi all,

    What do you call a 'vertical plan', it's what others have called for a schema of entity-attribute-value or universal data model. I advise you to do some research open minded on these types of patterns if you develop an application before continuing.

    Yes I know its 'AND' but when I using the '&' then oracle asked me of ' enter the values of the data files: "k".
    Please try first, then the calculation of the value.
    It can be a variable binding value.
    If you find the answer please suggest steps

    Simple words, the "DROP TABLESPACE" command does not support '&' character. & is a substitution of placeholder for SQL variable * more.

    Even if you provide the value for the "data files" prompt, the command does not work as it would lead to "drop tablespace including contents tsname *"details of your file *.
