• The new Cluster of 5.5 ESXi backup solution.

  All,

  We have built a new Cluster on ESXi 5.5 with 2 servers DL380 G8 (hosts) and a HP Storevirtual 4330 connected via iSCSI to SAN storage. ISCSI all have 4 cards attached to an iSCSI network 1 GB Switch.

  The HP Storevirtual 4330 has 7 TB of space but will be 1-1, 5 to virtual machines and the data on it. processors Xeon 2 x 16 and 256 GB of RAM in each host.

  There are 10 VMs (2008 R2) server on the cluster.

  I also have a G8 DL360 with 5 TB of space on it and an autoloader CF HP 1/8 (I need to make the weekly and monthly strips for compliance requirements).

  I have 4 additional network adapters in the present to connect to the iscsi san network if it is an advantage.

  All my previous backups were backups on tape, but will have to be different.

  I was wondering what is the best solution for me compared to

  What types of backups are best (instant storevirtual, POS or software (Backup Exec and VEEAM are my options)

  Where to store data backups (SAN or a space on the backup win2008 server)

  What kind of backup gives less impact on the performance of the SAN, hosts or VMS running.

  Deduplication is assistance in the management of space, if so what should it be set up.

  If you use StoreVirtual as the underlying storage, no doubt, then take a look at Veeam that deeply integrates the device said, allowing you to use SAN snapshots during the backup process. This, in turn, considerably improves iterator and reduces the impact of the activities of backup from the production environment.

  Apart from him, you can install VB & R on the above mentioned physical server and connect the device to tape it. This deployment will allow you to archive the backup data in the midrange of tape on any basis you want, using special adhesive tape work.

  See you soon.

• Installing the server on VMware server ESXi

  Hello

  Im trying to install esxi iso file in a VMware Server (in my laptop with 4 GB and windows 7 prof). I have created a virtual machine and tried to proceed with the installation. Initial measures follows and ends with Esc - repair-installation of the screen. In this screen im not control keystrokes at the keyboard and mouse n and cannot go any further. I found in the net that this method will work for purposes of practice. Can someone help me. ?

  Hello Pjo

  For your question, I understand what you are trying to install ESXi on your laptop to test / learning object. I also suppose that you try ESXi 4. ESXi 4 requires 64-bit processor. Your laptop should also support virtualization. To make sure that your laptop supports virtualization, go to configuration and find what is called VT and then activate it if it is not yet enabled.

  Once you have completed step abvoe, download & install the latest version of VMWare Workstation. Then create a new virtual machine, assign them to less than 2 GB of RAM, and then try again to install ESXi 4.

  I believe that this will help you to start with. If you have any other questions feel free to write back to me. And if you think that this answer is correct, please mark correct. If in case it is not correct, but has been useful so mark has useful

  Thank you very much

  El tiene en 2 red cards, a dedicated host para VMWare Server y las maquinas as corran sober el con una config "bridge." in this case solo una.

  En the virutal client (WXP) corre UN Apache Máquina y UN MySQL that benefits los servicios para una application web International (the what ve tronc en por the degradation of speed performance).

• Complete restoration of the Server 2008 R2 vmware workstation for windows backup image 9

  9 workstation.

  I am trying to restore a backup of windows server r2 2008 (made with the built-in windows backup) on an existing installation of vmware server 2008 r2. Basically, I just want to replace the facility with the backup version.

  The problem is, the windows to the backup image is on a USB key.

  The restore process is:

  1. Connect the usb host drive
  2. Insert the windows server r2 DVD in drive
  3. initialize the Server 2008 r2 comments and press the button ESC at startup, then boot from the CD
  4. Select 'repair' installation
  5. but here's the problem, windows backup image is on my USB, but at this stage I do not see the USB key from the client in the repair installation process.

  Ideas of the best way to do it?

  Thank you

  Okay, downloaded the ISO Image of Windows Server 2008 R2, created a new Virtual Machine, added the Windows Server backup and made a full backup without the destination for the backup drive, a USB Flash drive.

  Started the virtual machine of the ISO Image and it does not see the backup from a USB Flash drive, although I can see it from the command prompt.

  Also created a record gross hard pointing to the USB Flash drive and started the virtual machine of the ISO Image and he does not see the backup of the hard disk gross of the Flash USB drive, because the Virtual Machine had problems during the boot process.  Forget the exact error message, but I tried as a whole disk and a partition.  So the why I tested it by copying it to a normal file depending on the disc hard virtual (and worked).

  Finally I created a regular file based hard and copied the backup folder of the USB Flash it and then started the virtual machine drive of the ISO Image and it had no problem see the backup from the normal file based hard.

  It seems that you have to take the long way around, but at least, you should be able to see!

  I know not when booting from the ISO Image or a disc of Windows Server 2008 R2, backup tools command line are available to restore the image however you could examine the issue.  I would like to but I just don't have the time at the moment.

• VMware Server & physical backup restore

  I use VMware Server to make training of recovery after a disaster.  I backed up my environment that I try to test it on a hard drive.   I would like to restore my server Windows 2003 Active Directory and exchange server on a virtual machine and test.

  What I've done so far is to create a computer virtual windows 2003 and tried to reconstitute the AD in restore mode.  After restoring I replace the boot.ini, hal.dll and ntoskrnl.exe and it does not start.

  My goal can be achieved?

  Thank you

  I have all the links to the articles on converter-BESR.  But I had never read anything to use BESR for P2V conversions.  While the converter can directly convert images of BESR, converter gives an error.  So I simply treat the VM as any other physical machine you restore BESR.  Create an image of the physical machine using BESR.  Create a blank virtual machine.  Restore the image to the virtual machine.  Use the option "restore anywhere" in BESR, if they are available.  Or use the converter on the virtual machine and click on the button "configure the machine' to inject drivers.  (Similar to 'restore anywhere', how).  I do not think that either support Windows 2008 yet so if you plan convert some 200 machines, you'll probably need to wait for a BETTER release or try Converter4.

• VMware Server Version 2.0.2 - migrate VM to ESXi 5.5?

  Hey guys

  I use an old Dell T410 with VMware Server Version 2.0.2 (Build 203138) server running on top of serving 2008R1.

  I'm looking to install a new server and you want to run ESXi 5.5.

  Is it possible to convert VM VMware Server Version 2.0.2 (Build 203138) to ESXi 5.5?

  Otherwise I'm running Shadowprotect. If I can't convert, is it possible to do a HIR to ESXi 5.5 from an image of a VM from VMware Server Version 2.0.2 (Build 203138) Shadowprotect?

  Finally, I was looking for to run ESXi 5.5 Essentials (not more) on the new physical host and then use the old host as a temporary backup with ESXi 5.5 too. I have to buy 2 x 5.5 ESXi licenses to run it on both machines?

  If you want more specifications about the network made me know.

  Kind regards

  Aaron

  Hello

  You must convert the virtual server computers to be able to run on ESXi 5.5.

  Take a look at this, it is perhaps useful:

  On the essential, it allows to manage 3 servers (servers esxi) with up to 2 processors of each:

• Help with ESXi config backup and restore

  We have ESXi 4.1 vSphere (no vCenter) and try to test a back up and restore hypervisor configuration settings before going on the do an upgrade of update 1.

  Virtual Assistant Machine using, we can successfully export a .tgz file settings of ESXi config with the following command (from a previous post on this topic):

  vicfg-cfgbackup - < Server > s - configBundle - ESXix.x.x.x.tgz

  The config file is sent to/home/vi-admin. The problem is when I try to restore the configuration file for the ESXi server. I'm vMA and connected as a vi admin. Then type vifp addserver < Server >. Then check the target server is added by typing vifp mailing lists. I check that I can run vSphere orders CLI without authentication by typing vicfg-NIC - l. So far so good. Then when I try to restore the ESXi with the configuration by using the command file, below, I get an error of "command not found".

  vicfg-cfgbackup - < Server > | configBundle - ESXix.x.x.x.tgz

  The process of creating backups and restores to an ESXi Server seem to be rather complicated and not before right for someone of my level of experience. Basically what I need to be able to do is to check there is a process to recover from a failure of ESXi to restore its original configurations. Is there an easy, dumbed-down process for this?

  Thanks in advance.

  Is that a pipe in your order? It should be l as L for load

  also since your vifp presentation you could do

  vifptarget s esxi1

  Enter the credentials

  and then fire your order less - server part where you set this with vifptarget

  "vicfg-cfgbackup - configBundle - ESXix.x.x.x.tgz l.

• Graduating from VMware Server to ESXi

  As I said in another forum, I take my virtual business and contemplate the correct path.  After reflection, I feel that vSphere Essentials Plus may be the 'end of the road' for us.  This end of the road is several months, or even years, away.  I want to do is expose the plan of base here and let you guys and girls look over and tell me if I'm off track.

  Currently we have three hosts, one running VMware Server 1.02, another running server 1.06, the last and most recent is running Server 2.01.

  I bought a new server with another machine which is the equivalent in power, but not under the name of storage space.  Currently, it is not used.  So basically, I have four machines capable of being the host machines.  In addition, when I am finished with an Exchange migration, I have yet another machine with enough power to be a host.

  While I have a lot of machines available, I think I'll only be using a total of three machines in the end.  The two most recent machines and the current Exchange computer.  The rest will be moved to other functions or simply disappear (EBAY FTW!).

  My plan is to install ESXi on the two most recent physical machines.  Move more, if not all, of my current virtual machines for them.  If necessary, I'll pull the Exchange machine retreat in the mix for a total of three ESXi hosts.  For a period of time, I will simply use ESXi hosts and the customer vShpere to control.  When I find it is unmanageable, I'll add vSphere Essentials Plus and a SAN to the mix for my goal of end of maximum availability, fault tolerance and manageability.  Obviously the big breakpoint as soon as now the San that this single purchase would consume most of my annual budget.

  In any case, the only thing I like about running VMware Server ESXi vs is that it runs so that I can directly access files of the virtual machine on the host computer for backups, etc..  From what I see, if I install ESXi on these hosts, I won't be able to move, copy, back up virtual machines in a very easy way.  I have read, it can be done with the remote command line Interface, but I'm having a time difficult to determine if it works with ESXi or not.

  So here are my questions:

  (1) anyone see anything wrong with the plan?

  (2) understanding that I simply can't afford a SAN and vSphere Essentials most right now, is there a way I can safely access the virtual machines on ESXi for backups?  This can be automated?

  (3) looking forward, what is the less expensive, more powerful SAN for up to 3 servers?  I think maybe a Dell MD3000 or possibly a PS4000 EMC.

  Thanks in advance for taking the time to help me.

  > 1). Anyone see something wrong with the plan?

  ESXi has limited hardware compatibility list, so first you must make sure that esxi will work on your hardware. HCL is a list of the certified material, so your host doesn't have to be on HCL, but NIC and RAID cards must be.

  > 2). Understanding that I simply can't afford a SAN and vSphere Essentials most right now, is it possible that I can safely access the virtual machines on ESXi for backups? This can be automated?

  Yes, but you always buy the less essential to use VCB.

  > 3). Looking forward, what is the less expensive, more powerful SAN for up to 3 servers? I think maybe a Dell MD3000 or possibly a PS4000 EMC.

  Take a look at storage from IOmega.

• What is good for ESXi 3.5 Backup Solution?

  Hello guys,.

  I want to know what backup solution to use for ESXi 3.5. We have 5 host and now 5 virtual machines but we are planning to grow.

  Thank you

  You can use VCB for free, but it is "just backup, nothing more" and base command line.

  Veeam Backup offers features very good, but a bit expensive.

• I installed VMware ESXi on my Cisco's UCS server but after that I don't get from CIMC.

  I installed VMware ESXi on my Cisco's UCS server but after that I don't get from CIMC. also, I am unable to ping the address IP of CIMC. Any help?

  I think that MMIC does nothing with your ESXi installation... it is OoB management for servers of the UCS.

  Check your config MMIC inside the BIOS again.
