  • VM backup using VMware Consolidated Backup

    Hello

    I have ESX 3.5 Update4

    can someone explain pls howto backup computer virtual using VMware Consolidated Backup?

    Well,.

    There is a "VCB" that can be used in the COS of your ESX by running the command as shell vcbMounter. But most of the people using the Windows package "VCB 1.5" so just install it on any windows machine. Don't forget that you need disk space for storing images FullVM or a connected tape drive is required.

    After installation, change the config/config.js to match your needs. It provides some general parameters and default values. If you use a San or any iSCSI storage do not forget to run "diskpart automount disable" and 'diskpart automount scrub' first befor all required LUNS mounting.

    Now start playing with vcbMounter.exe. Remember that by default I have '-san m "is used which try to read data directly from the SAN. If you do not have a SAN using "m ndb" rather than transfer the data via the ESX host.

    VMware provides some PDF documents on the use of VCB and also the "my learn" section provides useful information.

  • LUN copy, LabManager backup

    Hello

    I'm under VC 4.0, the hosts are ESX 3.5 and LabManager is 4.0.

    The main goal is to back up by using the VM LabManager amounted less space backup and without having to stop virtual machines while performing the backup.

    My plan was to make a snapshot of the LUN (I have one all LM data isolated on a single LUN) and then take a backup of said. The snapshot of the LUN is easy, but then what do I do with it? I want to introduce logic unit number to a host which can read VMFS, so I can get my data on tape. Which excludes any Windows host, because he will not be able to read the file system, right?

    So, I present the LUN to an ESX host? But that can't do it now, because the LUN ID don't match those on the LUN. It's a question that I need repair or the host will see the new LUN as a snapshot LUN?

    Once I have the LUN that is readable from a host that I need dealt with by my backup agent. Really, I prefer not having to install agents on my ESX host, but this seems to be the only way to do it? Unless I have copy from my ESX host to a windows server and have to back up. Which would mean that I now need space for the live LUN, space for the snapshot LUN to the backup on a windows host and space for it on my backup system.

    I expect to hear what others are doing, sullen cause I got hurt

    Looks like you are looking for a solution basically save your VMS hosting of Labmanager. Would be a solution to use here something like VMware consolidated backup, or any other company software backup level that has VCB integration allowing them to backup vmfs file system.

  • Extend an iscsi LUN without losing VM

    I created originally for my data store a 500 GB iSCSI VMFS LUNs. I noticed that I had more available SAN storage, so I increased the size of 500 GB to 1.3 TB LUN LUN for our VMWare data store. I currently have a VM DC on this LUN I want to thank. When I go to the store and add the extension, it is said that the drive will be formatted and all data will be erased. There is a host of ESXi v3.5. What is the best way to extend this LUN without losing my VM domain controller?

    Should I try to move the virtual machine to the internal storage using the browser to store data? What do I have to use VMWare Converter to move the virtual machine off the iscsi lun until the LUN is extended, or is there another way? With your recommendations can also provide you with exact to directions?  It is a production environment, and I don't have a lot of experience, make this type of move.  Your comments are greatly appreciated.

    Hey Monty,

    One thing to remember, whenever you play no matter what sizing such thing w.r.t. the LUN always take relevant backup and can do what you want to play. The error you get is the error for the new extend this when adding, all the data on the new measure will be lost, so certainly, you can spend without any hestations.

  • Stream access to the ISCSI LUNs on esxi v4

    Greetings,

    Wonder just anyone could throw me some lights on it?

    Esxi v4 does support stream access to a single lun? The reason behind this is I want to consolidate LUN based on roles (exch, file, etc.), that is to say, a lun (datastore) will host all the servers exch only running on different hosts.

    Thanks in advane.

    Felix

    Hello

    Yes No... multi host access to iscsi LUNs is possible... that's what san / storage isa he's shared on the subject. Just make sure that Suur iscsi luun u plan on using is in the list compatibilityy supported so that u get the support of vmware in the future if you need. ESX / ESXi have a clustered file system.

  • Error in adding an iSCSI LUN - use software iSCSI initiator...

    Hi guys,.

    I can't add an iSCSI LUN to my host ESX4.0. It is the iSCSI Software initiator that is activated and I can see the LUN after I launch a new analysis.

    While adding the LUN as a data store, it throws me an error, please find the attached for the snapshot file.

    The real question is if I add a lun iSCSI and then remove it and again try to re add it whether or nor the old signature are found that do not readd it.

    Is there a command that I can use to remove all the LUNS already assigned and delete it existing signatures.

    Let me know guys if the above is not clear.

    Kind regards

    Use fdisk to create a partition and vmkfstools - C command to format the partition as VMFS. You use a supported storage array?

  • ESXi 4.0 - attached an iSCSI Lun and you want to import a VM to...

    OK, I have attached an iSCSI LUN that has a couple of VM on it from a previous generation test. Now, I want to import those virtual machines to my ESXi 4.0 host. Can someone give me step by step on this operation method?

    You'll just want to browse the data store, right-click on the VMX files and select Add to the inventory.   After you have added, you will want to check the network label to ensure that it exists on the new server.  If one of the virtual machines have been using VMdirectpath, generic SCSI devices, etc. you'll want to update those as well.

  • ESX 3.5 and iSCSI LUNS

    Good so I'm setting up my servers ESX using iSCSI LUNS.  I do not have the LUN in a VM, I want the servers to use.  Is it possible to do?  And how can I do for that implemented?

    Scott

    You must enable initiator initiator or software hardware

    If you go to the inititiator of the software, you must enable on each ESX host, by going to the configuration of the VI Client storage adapter tab. (you will see something like vmhba32, activate it)

    Once it is enabled, you must add your target (as we are talking about software initiator, it supports only dinamic discovery).  Recommendation, isolate the network cards that will connect to the iSCSI network.
