• tare on server for NFS mangles of symbolic links

  Hello

  I'm running into a problem where symbolic links are distorted when calibration files that reside on the Server 2003 and Server 2008 running server for NFS, serving to Redhat Linux 4.6, 5.3, 5.7 and machines Ubuntu 11.10. Note that the test below, region of origin of the user is mounted on a server for NFS 2008 R2 installation.  The question is not if I create a tar with files on the local computer. Absolute links are unaffected, related links.  Help solve this for links are greatly appreciated.

• Windows Server backup question!

  I need help.  I'm a guy from Server 2008R2 novice who tries to save not only the server (which I did successfully with Windows Server backup), but a shared external hard drive connected to one of my office workstation computers (it has information vital to back up as well).  The documentation for Windows Server Backup to a google search says "You can use Windows Server backup to create and manage backups for the local computer or a remote computer".  How to create a backup to (not) a remote computer?

• Cannot backup VMs to the NFS server

  Hi all

  really stuck GhettoVCB script configuration to back up virtual machines...

  I only have a single physical hard drive "datastore1" on my 6.0 ESXi host. I also have NFS server:

  
  

  /NFS

  IP address: 192.168.3.200

  First of all, I did a little test: I added this NFS server (file system is ext4) as a new 'teststorage' using vSphere Client storage. When I type in console

  # mkdir/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/somefolder

  # mkdir/vmfs/volumes/teststorage/newfolder

  everyghing is ok. Also:

  # esxcli storage nfs add h 192.168.3.200 v s/nfs/backup - backup

  # mkdir/vmfs/volumes/backup/tesfolder

  Well obviously, everything works. I so disassembled vSphere Client NFS.

  Next step, I tried to configure the script:

  VM_BACKUP_VOLUME = / vmfs/volumes/datastore1/autobackup

  DISK_BACKUP_FORMAT = thin

  VM_BACKUP_ROTATION_COUNT = 1

  POWER_VM_DOWN_BEFORE_BACKUP = 0

  Any ideas?

  Thanks in advance for the help.

  The solution was simple: my notebook + in Windows curled some symbols 'hidden' at the end of the first line, before that I sent this file via WinSCP.

  1. use only vi on your ESXi because different EOL codes (CR + LF/LF). Also don't let useful space and the end of the lines.

  2 set the async on your NFS server instead of synchronization that increases the speed of copy.

  3. place your script of ghettoVCB on your data store. For example: / vmfs/volumes/datastore1

  Hope this helps others.

• Upgrade paths for vCenter Server 4.0/32-bit to 64-bit/5.0

  So, for various reasons beyond my control, when we installed vCenter server when we migrated from 3.5 to 4.0, it has been installed on 32-bit Windows.

  Data backended by a full instance of SQL Server (not the MSDE version that comes pre-packaged with vCenter).

  So, I try to understand the strategy of less impact for the trip to 5.0.

  One idea I had is simply to build a new 'home' for vCenter Server on x 86-64 and point the application on the existing database running on 32-bit windows server. (I'm guessing that the 32/64-bit nature of the database server itself is largely irrelevant as it allows 64-bit vCenter Server to talk to it). I think then that all information cluster all would remain intact since it's in the database, etc..

  If I had to, I guess, we could install vCenter 4.0 (64-bit) on the new host and THEN perform the upgrade, if it was really important, but I somehow don't think it is.

  Once that is done, we would eventually just make a backup/restore type upgrade path to move data out of the old host and the new host and re-point vCenter Server in its local database now.

  A that someone does something similar to this? Traps, we should be aware of? Warnings that it would never work the way we expect it to be, etc, etc. ?

I think then that all information cluster all would remain intact since it's in the database, etc..

  That's what I'd do.  It your DB is remote, it is a fairly straightforward upgrade.

  1. turn off your old Instance vCenter

  2. backup your DB instance

  3 copy the SSL directory off the old vCenter and the new (you'll probably to manually create the path, before installing vCenter)

  4 set up your ODBC connection and test

  5. install vCenter and use existing DB

  Assuming that you are going to use the same host name and IP address for your new instance of vCenter, like your old, all stocks will be as it was before the upgrade.

  Using the graphical user interface of 'windows split backup', I can:

  o search the various backups on disk

  o down through the tree of a given instance of a backup to disk

  o select a single file to retrieve

  I want to watch all instances of a file that do not exist to recover.  This feature is available in 'windows explorer' by the 'previous versions' tab.  How can I get this same 'previous versions' ability via the 'windows server backup"collect mistletoe?

  Are there other utilities (other that the 'windows server backup"recover gui) that allow me to browse the catalog of backup?

  Is it possible to browse the catalogue using the powershell cmdlets?

• What "unmapped user access" for NFS share in Windows Server 2008 R2?

  In the beginning, I followed this Youtube video to set up an NFS share in Windows Server 2008 R2:

  https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=BQ8Q_vsiksg

  Please note that the default option to allow to access Unix unmapped user is not changed (to about 1 min 57 sec).

  Then I found another article at http://www.vmwarearena.com/2012/07/create-nfs-datastore-for-esx-in-windows.html

  But in this article, I like to select allow anonymous access (instead of allow access Unix unmapped user).

  So who is correct?  Or both are correct (which means that this 'unmapped user access' is not serious)?

  And why should we have to allow root access (in the NFS share permissions dialog box)?  What a security risk?

  Thanks in advance.

• syntax to enable AUTOMATIC backup for file server settings

  According to the document of the oracle's RMAN can be configured to automatically back up the control file and the server settings file every time that metadata from database structure in control of changes in the file and each time a backup folder is added. Automatic backup RMAN can recover data even if the current control file and catalog file server settings are lost. »

  automatic backup will take place of the control file and SPFILE. also whenever you have a backup statement in your RMAN script (e.g. database backup more archive), an automatic backup will be generated.

  To activate the automatic backup of control file:

  rman> CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
  

• Server for vmdk hardware backups using vRanger connection

  Hello

  We try to implement vRanger connection for backup of our VMS (ESX 3.5) and would like to have installed on a stand-alone server. There are currently 36 VMs that is likely to grow. Each virtual machine has a disk of 10 GB C residing in SAN. We want to save these files vmdk SAN to the server where vRanger connection is installed.

  Could anyone here suggest some options for a server to have it put in place? Given that the size of the files would be around 400 GB for now and much more later, the speed of the hard drive must be considered too.

  Thank you.

  Cool! So what kind of records should I go then?

  What is your budget?  SAS is the fastest, but we are talking here about 400GB drive will cost twice what a single 1.2 to or even 1.5 TB SATA.  Even if you have the budget for it, it's a complete waste of money, since you can get 4 times the storage for the same price.

  RAID 0 will give you the most performance, however if you keep several revisions on your backup disk, maybe not prudent to use the RAID 0 in the long term, but there again this depends on your backup strategy, you want backups LONG or SHORT term?  If you make full backups every week, as we do, RAID 0 is fine.  We can accept the risk given that do us COMPLETE each week and because backups are unexpected, not to archive, it is not a big problem for us, but every company is different.

  Network is not your main concern, however, if you have a decent network of 1 GB, that's all you need.  Just buy whatever you can afford for storage, if backup speed is your main concern, go SAS, if not go SATA.

• A solution to the "unable to connect to the NFS server" that I can't understand

  (This question is related to the interaction between ESXi and FreeNAS and talk a lot here, but the solution was finally on FreeNAS configuration change, so I hope it's ok that I post in this forum.  It relates to the use of FreeNAS of ESXi).

  I have a FreeNAS system set up specifically for the copy of the virtual machines of my ESXi server as a backup mechanism.  I tried to mount a NFS of FreeNAS disk and ran in a (what appears to be, from discussions on the forum, a common place) problem.  ESXi, during an attempt fix the part gave me the "unable to connect to the NFS server" message.  The search in the log files, I could see some more detail, but nothing that pointed to a solution.  I also searched the logs on the FreeNAS system, nothing helps.

  I was using the IP address of the FreeNAS (static address) system instead of the DNS name when you are trying to reach the storage.

  After hours of trying different methods, creation of username on FreeNAS trying up to ESXi, scouring through all the various points of ESXi config, etc. I am getting nowhere.  Then I came across a post somewhere (not here on the forums, but in a blog somewhere) that said add the ESXi server to the hosts on the FreeNAS system file.

  Once we added - bingo-test.  ESXi logged in straight away and I am running.

  Now, I am trying to determine why the addition of ESXi machine to the FreeNAS hosts file would allow ESXi to connect.  Anyone have any ideas?  The IP address of the ESXi system was already in the allowable range set up in the UI on FreeNAS.

  Thanks in advance.

  Mounting NFS export list process requires the resolution of the customer's name. When a customer initiates the request for an NFS share, server checks its list of export for the requested directory and the name of the customer in this access list for this particular action. Now if the server fails to resolve the name of the initiator denies his request for the mounting of this share. In order to overcome this problem, you must have a dns server in the network, or do you have enter you the names and information of IP address to the server hosts file

• ESXi 4.1 as an NFS server?

  I have several virtual machines on SATA storage space on my server ESXi 4.1.  I would like to support these until my NFS server.  What is the best way to do it?

  Ideally, I would like to start NFS services on the hypervisor, ESXi 4.1, so I can run cron on the NFS server tasks (client in this case or ) and copy virtual machines.

  Is this possible?

  Yes, I know I can install virtual machines directly on the NFS storage and run them from there, but I want the box of VMware to run independent of the NFS server and rely on it for backups.

  Otherwise, can run tasks scheduled on the ESXi 4.1 hypervisor to copy on the NFS server?

  Thank you.

  You can add an NFS share in a data store. Use the configuration tab / storage to add the share. You can use http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-8760 to clone your virtual machine to the NFS data store. It is possible to add the process clone ghettoVCB as a cron job of many references in the DOC.

  Hi everyone, I hope someone can help me with a question.
  
  I implement a scope rac (11.2.3 in AIX 6.1) in normal redundancy with the DSO, but my diskgroup to my files of votings and ocr 2 raw devices + 1 file vote by NFS, so my question is if I can add other NFS server to put a 4 vote file, if my first NFS server is dead so I would have my second NFS server as backup. Also if I put a 4 file in the diskgroup to vote in normal redundancy 4 files will be the same or votes only 3 files will be equal and the other will be offline?
  
  Thanks if anyone can help me.
  
  Kind regards.

  Hello
  Although the vote of the files are concerned, a node must be able to access more than half of the files with the right to vote at any time (simple majority). In order to be able to tolerate failure of n files in vote, need at least 2n + 1 configured. (n = number of files with voting rights) for the cluster.
  The problem is that if you use both storage systems, which means that the site that hosts the majority of the votes of the files is a potential single point of failure for the entire cluster. If the storage or the site where the files of n + 1 vote is set fails, the entire cluster will go down, because Oracle Clusterware will lose the majority of the files
  To avoid a complete cluster failure, Oracle will support a third vote file on a cheap lowend, standard NFS mounted device somewhere in the network.

  For this reason, Oracle introduced the option DISK QUORUM in 11.2. This option should be used only when we have even number of storage HW.
  The QUORUM DISK is a DISK on NFS or third place which will not store DATA (IE only VOTEDISK), because we can only provide HW STORAGE to it. And the use of these alternative storage option can cause problem if perfomance of the stored data.
  I think that a QUORUM of the voting disk is sufficient, because if your NFS die your cluster will be online, because you do not lose votedisk another.
  You can have another host configured with NFS running in Standby Mode, if primary NFS die you can online (from clusterware) remove the NFS votedisk failed and configure votedisk third on Standby NFS.

  Use disc to 4th vote is wrong.
  You must configure an odd number of disks with right to vote. (To add 4th on NFS, you must choose 5 storage location "IE 5 vote file" in order to set up an odd number)

  If you lose 1/2 or more of all your disks with right to vote, then nodes get evicted from the cluster, or nodes to expel from the cluster.
  For this reason when using Oracle for the redundancy of your discs with voting rights, Oracle recommends that customers use disks of 3 or more voting.
  Note: It is recommended to use an odd number as 4 drives will be more highly available than 3 disks, 3 1/2 is 1.5... rounded up to 2, 4 1/2 is 2, once you lose 2 discs, your cluster fails with 4 disks to vote.

  I recommend that you read:

• A VM ESXi NFS server performance?

  I need the benefit of your entry based on your experiences to make a good decision.

  -J' I will start 2 web servers in a data center at a distance, the two ESXi running, which have a private and public network.  They each have a primary mirror of SCSI and SATA II the great used for backups and ISOs.

  -I'll support upward upward through the dedicated network of 1 G from one server to another on the private network.

  -J' I also need connectivity to a remote PC to download the ISOs, software, etc.

  These are my thoughts:

  1. can I backup and restore a VMFS on very fast SATA II volume locally.  However, I can't save on a VMFS volume on another server.

  2. the entire network, the only system of VMware file and operating systems can both see is NFS.

  3. If the virtual machines VMware poor performance for NFS, then I was able to save on the VMFS locally and then copy it to the remote server via NFS.

  4. the next question is, who would be the best server for NFS to deploy in such a role?

  -one.  FreeNAS appliance, is light on resources, easy to install, supports CIFS, but must be restarted often when it becomes slow.

  -b.  Windows 2008 Web Server is heavy on resources, free and reliable in data centers.  Other benefits are:

  (1) Windows is the only OS that can run the VI Client

  (--2) Windows is the only OS that can run the converter.  The converter comes in handy for fixing broken instant and the narrowing of the ESXi backups to a very small size.

  -Traffic 3) converter can be local to the servers, instead of on the WAN, which is the only way it could be practically used in this situation.

  (--4) Windows allows a session more 2 remote desktop sessions for administration.

  (--5) may be given anywhere from any computer because Windows that VMware management software should not be installed on the remote client.

  (--6) could be used for hosting Windows and MSSQL services.

  (--7) making the NFS part works would require the 32-bit version of the operating system in order to install Windows Services for Unix, because it is only available in 32-bit and Web Edition plays no available file server role, which means no NFS for Windows Services.  Allegro may work on the 64-bit Web Edition.  They didn't know.

  Thanks for your thoughts!

  Because the ISOs are they server get microsofts virtualcd and mount the ISO directly. You will need to do a search.for virtualcd because this isn't an official product support.

  I have install on any Windows machine because it works so well.
