I stop VirtualCenter for SQL backup?

Hi all

Discovered today that my VirtualCenter log file grows to the point where I have to look it narrows down.  Got about 20% free atm of disk space so don't not massivly urgent but I would it nip in the bud now.

I thought in a SQL Backup/Shrink in market, I am currently using SQL 2008 Standard 64-bit, with it taking all the vCenter install default options so full recovery mode.  I haven't used much before SQL2008 so did a quick browse forums here where there was something specific I need to do and I have a question.

I have to stop the VirtualCenter service in order to obtain a copy of backup performed via SQL?  I could not but but I seem to have found a few posts suggesting this?

If so, how I would go about planning for backups nightly full SQL that will keep my log SQL size down, if I have to stop to vCenter every night?

Thank you

Andy

.. .and I advise you to run in simple mode rather than the full recovery and maintenance of DB, such as the purge and the re-indexing on a regular basis.  But, as mentioned, if do something other than backups, the instance must be down.

  • stopped working for some backup devices

    I installed 6 switches SF300 - 24 p and gave them IP addresses static admin.  Initially, they are automatically recognized by ON100 and had the device driver and icon, etc.  They were also back up files of config based on credentials, that I gave to the web port 80 access.  I could even push the new firmware for them.

    I struggled with the switches and they were restarting several times a day, so I upgraded and plant their default and reprogrammed by hand.  Same configs, same IP address, etc.  I rediscover the edge network and we found them once again and I got the credentials, but now the backup for all 6 switches button is gray and they aren't automatically backup OU configs.

    I don't know what else to try to get these working properly again.

    Hi Brandon,.

    You can check if you have enabled "SNMP Service" on the switch? It's under ' Services TCP/UDP ", see below:

    If SNMP is enabled on the device, then OnPlus must use SNMP to communicate with the device. If this option is enabled, you can disable SNMP, or to provide information for the identification of SNMP.

    SF300 Notes:

    Note that if SNMP is enabled on the device, OnPlus must must use SNMP to communicate with the device.

    This can also lies in the Guide of the user, page 240:

    If SNMP is not enabled, send me the name of the site, and I can collect additional troubleshooting site logs.

  • CSA for ICM/IPCC and SQL Backup Wizard

    I have CSA for ICM (version 4.5 - 1 build 639) installed on all our servers to the ICM. It prevents SQL to make its backups to a network share. I stop the CSA and backups work fine. Thus, the permissions aren't too bad on the share drive. The backup works fine if the backup is created locally, is not a better practical backup strategy.

    Does anyone know of a work around?

    Thank you

  • What is normal for the backup of XP SP3 and the startup type of the removable storage service?

    I was getting ready to plan and attempt a clean full backup for tonight.  I have the backups created on several entities, currently backup but have a very stable system at the moment and wanted to try to make a clean backup file.  That day has finally arrived after been forced a corrupted system files hard drive failure "repair" critical and forced me to go back to SP1a (my Windows Genuine valid CD which I highly appreciate) in order to obtain any boot system, including safe mode and console mode.  Repair has presented many incompatibilities at the level of program and system, including the basic WMI and COM of the corruption system.  Three months later... it of time to update my backups and recovery procedures and hope that this does not happen!

    In preparation, I decided to refresh my memory on the use of the backup and by browsing the Help and Support Service Center files.  One of the first things I noticed was "storage removable service must be started for the backup works correctly."  Audit and inspection of my existing Services using computer (Local) management, I have observed that after a normal windows startup, the removable storage service is not started with manual startup type.  I use a USB drive connected as my backup media, and it is fully operational as a normally formatted NTFS data disk volume.  I have windows indexing disabled on this volume.  Is the type of service required removable storage of normal manual started?  The backup program will automatically start this service?  I know I've never manually started it myself and backups seem to work well.  Should we change the startup type to automatic?

    -Thanks, Jerry

    I would like to leave as a textbook.

    The Service will start (if capable) as soon as ntbackup.exe begins.

    If you want to see, with your Services window related to the function of RS place and it will not work and the manual.

    Click Start, run and enter in the box:

    Ntbackup.exe

    Click OK to start the backup and the Restore Wizard.

    Go back to your Services window and press F5 to refresh and SR Service should now work.

    When you exit the backup and the Restore Wizard, the RS Service stops (it may take a few minutes), and you may need to close the Services applet and reopen it to notice she's moved to manual and not running.

    You will see things like present to the event system log viewer:

    Event type: Information
    Event source: Service Control Manager
    Event category: no
    Event ID: 7036
    The removable storage service entered the running state.

    (this is when you go out the backup and the Restore Wizard and wait a few minutes... then the Service stops itself...)

    Event type: Information
    Event source: Service Control Manager
    Event category: no
    Event ID: 7036
    Description:
    The removable storage service entered the stopped state.

    It's like aid and assistance...  Most of the people (including the technical support engineers who are hired by Microsoft) say to set the Startup Type to automatic, but you don't have to...  Set it to manual and it will start fine when he needs start (if he can).

    There is no need for these Services (and many other Services in XP) as starting at each restart and run all day without doing anything.

    Here is a good list that will help you understand your XP Services:

    How to stop demand for files compressed in my Outlook Express? This request appears on my screen of many times while I'm working, even when I go on the internet, it always appears & crashes me typing.  I have a lot of emails and I don't want to compress their files.

    original title: HOW can I STOP ASKING to COMPRESS the FILES in OUTLOOK EXPRESS

    How to stop demand for files compressed in my Outlook Express? This request appears on my screen of many times while I'm working, even when I go on the internet, it always appears & crashes me typing.  I have a lot of emails and I don't want to compress their files.

    Compress, (Compact in American English), removes waste of space, not your messages. Please read below, but if compact you and still get the prompt, after return. It is another question.

    Why OE insists on compacting folders when I close it? :
    http://www.insideoe.com/FAQs/why.htm#compact

    Compacting your folders periodically is a must to keep OE works fine and at some point, you may lose all your saved messages if you do not. When you delete or move messages, the space they used remains until you compact.

    Never touch anything until the compression is finished.* *.

    See:
    www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2

    With SP2, Automatic compaction in the background has been removed because of problems he has caused. Now, you will get a prompt to compact after 100 closures of OE, you need to do, and do not touch anything until it's finished. If you compact manually, at your convenience, this will also set the counter to zero. See this for more information:
    http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm#compact

    If you are fully patched, you will now see a copy of your dbx files copied to the Recycle Bin as BAK files. If something goes wrong when compacting, the messages can be easily restored from this backup. A compact manual resets also the counter in the back of the registry to zero now.

    For more information, see the information framed in red here:
    www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2

    To keep things running smooth and harden faster:

    Do not archive mail in default OE folders. It will eventually become corrupt and you may lose mail. Create your own folders defined by the user for mail storage and move your mail to them. Empty the deleted items folder regularly. Keep user created folders under 300 MB, and also empty as is possible to default folders.

    And backup often.

  • How config VM for SQL 2008?

    I'm under ESXi 4 on a Dell of 710 on the SDCard with Raid 10. I have 12 GB of ram (soon to go to 48 since this server was going to be something else) with double Quad-cores. I am running WSUS as a virtual machine and SQL 2008 all 64 bits but uses SQL to the time as a virtual processor. All this in the same data store. I have an another data store on the same server and these 2 drives are Raid 1, but I have not yet used. Everything is contained in a box and will always be like that.

    1 can be located the SQL and the virtual machines with the help of it in the same data store or leave I better to put on various Raids?

    2. I want to add Sharepoint which uses also SQL 2008, if it was another instance of SQL2008?

    3. the amount of ram (assuming I'm 48 concerts) and the number of processors should I call?

    Thank you

    Gary,

    without knowing what we take on the workload, it is not easy to answer your questions.

    However, we will try to find answers for you.

    Material:

    S ' ensure that your hardware is listed on the HCL. (Server, RAID controller,...)

    -For optimal performance, you must use SAS HDD and battery backup cache writing. Write cache - in my opinion - is essential!

    Licensing:

    -You can save or lose a lot of money thanks to a license.

    -With 1 license of Windows Server Enterprise (2003R2 plus) MS grants you the right for up to 4 virtual machines on 1 physical server.

    -SQL2008 to take a look at the millisecond of license. Depending on the version, you will need to purchase a license by vCPU.

    Installation:

    -Make sure you configure your data warehouses VMFS with the size of the desired block (1-8MB) for the maximum size of VMDK you expect.

    -If you use Windows 2003 server, be sure to align the partitions of the virtual machine!

    -Best practices for reading MS for SQL installations. (Alignment, partition NTFS block size,...)

    Now we will answer your questions:

    1.) depending on the workload and the SQL recovery mode (base, in bulk, plenty) it may make sense to have vmdk on different logical drives (spindles). With the hardware you have I recommend you to create up to 3 virtual drives (OS, data SQL, transaction logs). Put the OS and data on the RAID10 and newspapers on the RAID1.

    2.) well, again it depends on the workload. If a SQL Server is not enough you can save the money for a second license of SQL.

    3.) recommended is to assign as many vCPU and as much RAM as you need. You can always adjust the settings if necessary thereafter. Remember SQL server licenses when adding additional vCPUs.

  • Everyone is dismayed to see that there is no password recovery or reset secure put in place for encrypted backups?

    I am absolutely amazed that there is no recovery password for iPhone backups encrypted.

    (1) no password is required to access the iTunes application. He launched and the phone connects automatically.

    (2) someone might maliciously put a password. The password for Mac or device using iTunes OSx need at least before setting the encryption password.

    (3) there is no recovery option. None. Tell me: what password-protected sensitive data have NO option of recovery? No secret questions, no e-mail link, no OSx password, nothing. It's horrible.

    I'm in a situation where I remember not the password, and even if I had the foresight to write it somewhere, that the hard copy has disappeared. I suffer a miserable condition where I lose memory. I have reset passwords on all my stuff course often. That's just my new reality.

    I am faced with a situation where if I ever need to restore my device or upgrade to a new, I won't lose all my old texts and local health data in my applications (which is essential for a person with health problems). The loss of memories of conversations for a person who relies on these devices, precisely because I lose my memory is a slap in the face.

    What the risk of COMPUTER audit team approved this feature, Apple? It's quite incredible that a company of your size would be created people to fail like this. Please post a fix in iTunes for password recovery and substitute it. PLEASE, I BEG YOU.

    N ° if there is a way to recover or reset, the encryption would be completely useless.

    Exercise good security practices on the computer where you have installed iTunes and you will not you care about someone maliciously setting a password for backups.

    Hi Laura,

    There is no way to recover your information or disable backup encrypted if you lose or forget the password.

    You cannot use a backup encrypted if you do not have the password. If you have forgotten your password, the only way to turn off encryption on the backup device is to wipe your device and set up as new. Clear deletes all data on your device.
