Keep VM P2V synchronized (periodically)

Hi all,

We must create a backup of a physical server VM, and keep it as up-to-day/synchronized as possible, for use as a failover server.

Using the latest versions of vSphere/vCenter/converter, what are the options or best practices to achieve this?

Or maybe there are 3rd tools part (such as Veeam maybe?) which would add other options beneficial to this scenario?

Thanks for your comments!

Kris

After each synchronization, the destination VM is left in a bootable state. It will be cancelled as the newest bootable if the synchronization fails.

  • What is the best way to keep the two synchronized computers?

    I just got Lr4, which I use in addition to CS5.5 Design Premium, and I want to use Lr as the editor and a primary raw file manager.

    I continue my work and computers synchronized via a 2 TB external drive that fits in my pocket and SmartSync Pro software. With this configuration, I just connect the drive and the software copies all the files that are new or modified, leaving the rest untouched. So it is a very quick and painless process that allows me to work every machine without missing a step.

    This configuration has served me well for a long time, but with Lightroom, there is an additional complication: the catalogue.

    So I need to know the most effective way for the transport of catalog exchange from one machine to another, using the portable player. The directory structure is the same between the two machines - but the drive letters are not the same, so the files are technically not in the same place.

    I see that it is a menu called element Export in the catalog. Who will do it? And how will import on the other machine? To import from a different catalog?

    No need to make things more complicated they must be

  • My Macbook Pro keeps freezing for short periods

    Hello

    A new problem started with my Macbook pro in recent weeks. Initially, it was rare, but now he continues to be all a few minutes (it happened as I type this). What is happening is that my current application freezes for a few seconds, then returns to normal, and then the screen freezes. I'll expand a bit: while I'm typing this, suddenly the Safari froze and I just kept typing on, and when I use any action (like a slide four fingers), it works, but will not pass to the other window/app. After that, the kind of display of speeds upward, as it's contagious back in real time after the break (if I'm on vlc, TI video speed looks like 4 x, all the letters, I typd in pages apper as if Im typing God-speed). Then, a few seconds later, the computer will completely freeze, not to accept any user input and then resume as nothing has happened about 5 seconds later. This has happened very often now (I counted 3 times while I typed this place).

    Please help me on what I should try to do to solve this problem. Initially, I thought it was a problem of RAM so I borrowed my Mac mini and inserted in my Macbook RAM. He worked as always for about a day, before returning to the State of the problem.

    MacBook Pro 15 "Early 2011 model

    I7 2 GHz

    4 GB 1333 MHZ DDR3 RAM (replaced by 1067 MHz RAM of the Mac Mini for a day)

  • Cable network keeps disconnecting after a period of time

    Hello

    I just bought a new Lenovo Z510 and I have serious problems with the network Ethernet cable. When I turn on the laptop and plug in the cable, it works for about 5 minutes. Then it suddenly disconnects (with software) while physically he is still connected. When I restart the computer, it works again for 5 minutes that follow. It's really annoying.

    1. I have not installed new software to date.
    2. it is not the problem of the cable (works fine on other laptops).
    3. Windows 8.1 diagnosis only says that the cable is diaconnected.
    4. I tried to reinstall the driver so I have the latest version of the web page from lenovo.
    5. There is not BIOS problem because it works fine first - then disconnects.

    I have really no idea of what it can cause. Does anyone have a similar experience? I suspect that maybe some Powermanagement kills service or something? But have no idea how to solve. Thanks for any advice.

    Hi thanks for the reply. I tried everything above. Without success.

    Then I googled many repairs possible and, finally, the problem ceased when I
    uninstalled McAfee security. I have no idea what caused the problem but now
    It works perfectly.

    If the solution of the problem of Ethernet connection: uninstall McAfee!

    I have no idea why Lenovo should deliver so many third-party with software
    their products. And even if it causes problems. I have no idea if its only
    me, but I really suggest it first uninstall all the ballast that comes with
    the laptop. Its only 30 same day trial. Not good in it. Money for
    Lenovo ads. And a lot of nerves to its customers!

    Best regards and I hope this helps someone.

  • Keep two very large synchronized data warehouses

    I look at the options to keep a very large (potentially 400GO) datastore TimesTen (11.2.2.5) in sync between a Production Server and [sleep].

    The replication was abandoned because it does not support compressed tables, or table types creates our closed code (without PKs not null) application

    1. I did some tests with smaller data warehouses for the indicative figures, and a store of 7.4 GB data (according to dssize) has resulted in a set of 35 GB of backup (using ttBackup - type fileIncrOrFull). This surge in volume should, and would it extrapolate to a 400 GB data store (2 TB backup set?)?
    2. I have seen that there are incremental backups, but to keep our watch as hot, we will restore these backups and what I had read and tested only a ttDestroy/ttRestore is possible, that is full restoration of the full DSN every time, which takes time. Am I missing a smarter way to do this?
    3. Y at - it other than our request to keep two data warehouses in the construction phase, all other tricks we can use to effectively keep the two synchronized data stores?
    4. Random last question - I see "datastore" and "database" (and to a certain extent, "DSN") apparently interchangeable - are they the same thing in TimesTen?

    Update: the 35 GB compress down with 7za to slightly more than 2.2 GB, but takes 5.5 hours to do this. If I take a fileFull stand-alone, it is only 7.4 GB on the disc and ends faster too.

    Thank you

    Post edited by: rmoff - add additional details

    It must be a system of Exalytics, right? I ask this question because compressed tables are not allowed for use outside of a system of Exalytics...

    As you note, currently the replication is not possible in an Exalytics environment, but that is likely to change in the future and then he will certainly be the preferred mechanism for this. There is not really of another viable way to proceed otherwise than through the application.

    With regard to your questions:

    1. a backup consists mainly of file of the most recent checkpoint, more all the files/folders that are newer than this file logs. Thus, to reduce the size of a backup complete ensure

    that a checkpoint occurs (e.g. "call ttCkpt" a ttIsql session) just before starting the backup.

    2. No, only the restore is possible from an incremental backup set. Also note that due to the large amount of rollforward needed, restore a large incremental backup set can take quite a long time. Backup and restore are not really intended for this purpose.

    3. If you are unable to use replication, then a sort of application-level synchronization is your only option.

    4 data store and data mean the same thing - a physical TimesTen database. We prefer the database of the expression of our days; data store is a legacy term. A DSN is something different (Data Source Name) and should not be swapped with the data/database store. A DSN is a logical entity that defines the attributes of a database and how to connect. It is not the same as a database.

  • BlackBerry 10 how to extend the period mails remain on my device?

    When I started with OS10 on Q10 device it was always buggy. I got my set emails to stay on the device for about 3 months. one day, something happened the deleted Q10 with a value of emails 3 months. After that, I wiped the device, and when I added my email accounts I asked for 1 month so that I can minimize the damage. It has been quite stable for some time now and I want to extend this deadline. The question is how? Should I again delete my e-mail accounts and add them back?

    Operating system is 10.2.1.3062

    OK, problem solved!

    It has nothing to with the synchronization. intervals as expected. The e-mail account must be deleted as this function appears in the time menu only the first account edit when you add the account. See the bottom of the image. So, you decide how many days of emails of history the device will download on an initial connection to the account. From there, it retains the same number of days as the period of rotation. If you have selected 30 days, it will be store/keep on the peripheral roll of 30 days period. If you selected 90, it will keep rolling 90 day period history of mails etc.

  • Windows 7 backup periods

    How we could define a period when backup is. I want to do a full backup with extra additions and changes captured, which is what Windows 7 says it does. The problem is that it defines periods of 2 days, then he decided to start a new period with a new, full backup. It doesn't take long to fill the disc

    Under Vista, I had to roll to a new backup set, which usually takes several months using an external drive of 500 GB against about 200 GB of data. Now, it takes about 3 days to fill a 640 GB external drive, as it keeps creating new backup periods.

    It seems that the backup took a step back.

    Ok. The solution is to go to Services, select Windows Media Player Network Sharing Seservice and set the Startup Type todisabled. Stop it doesn't do the trick, it should be disabled. I don't know why this service, but it sets the archive bit on multimedia files (music, video, photos), whereas they are taken over by the incremental backup.

    Given that media is the vast majority of the data on the computer, and it doesn't really, otherwise than by the addition, deletion and the very rare edition; I rank it as an involuntary element (bug) of Windows 7.

    Kind regards

  • How to keep summers jsf pages correctly updated to account for changes to data in the database?

    This is a case of common use for web applications:

    User open A (i.e. a jsf page) of a web application, keep open for a period of time and do some browsing or editing on this page.

    During this time, someone others or modified events of the data in the database, then:

    Scenario A:

    1. the user should be able to see the evolution of the data in the above open jsf page when page navigate to other records.

    or when the page is refreshed by refreshing the web browser (reload the page) or by pressing a button on the page manually.

    Scenario b:

    2. the page should be able to be updated automatically to reflect the new changed data in the backend database.

    -This means that the user has no need to run the refresh action intentionly/manually to get the new data.

    Here's a possible implementation are provided in subsection 12.1 JDEV/ADF for above use cases:

    1.kdario: tips to know how to refresh your data

    Re: Field Image cannot refresh when you move between records in a jsf page

    In my opinion, the solution of kdario is a little bit complicated, is there an easy approach?

    and kdario says:

    'normal way' for update page is generally very bad for applications based on JSF/ADF.

    Is there more evidence or reference documents to support above sayings?

    2 to implement scenario B, which is recommended methods?

    Is the Active Data one approach good?

    If there are active - as tech batteries was adopted for web applications on the internet (which will have more agreement than in the intranet user), would there be possible serious performance problems?

    Thanks in advance.

    In fact, I suggested to the position 3 solutions (and option c) Notifications of changes to database is the most complicated).

    Also, here is solution d) in pageDef, select iterator and ownership of Cache set to false results

    'normal way' for update page is generally very bad for applications based on JSF/ADF.

    Is there more evidence or reference documents to support above sayings?

    Well, when you use the "back/refresh" browser button, this will retrieve the Forms page cache and skip the controller of the ADF.

    You can use google to do this, for example:

  • Best way to keep 2 VMs on 2 different Macs in sync?

    Hello

    I have a Macbook laptop, Leopard, who inherited an iMac under Tiger, all data and applications running. I just tried to resume the VM on the Macbook & he warns against possible instability if I continue. -He looks so much like that I have to create a virtual machine on the Macbook & then import or attach files hard of the orginal VM on the iMac. Will this work? & what is the best way to then maintain the virtual machines synchronized? (two-way changes possible). Will I have to use the tools of command line or that can do everything in the GUI? Oh - the virtual machine is Win2k Pro, BTW

    Thank you

    GAM

    (1) If you (Mac) sync s/w, who has worked at the block level (IE, avoiding mega-file copies), why don't keep you them synchronized like that?

    It works (assuming that you do not synchronize when the virtual machine is running, and of course). My recommendation against the clock was on the assumption that you do not have block-level backup software and would therefore have to copy everything, which is probably too big to be useful.

    (2) are violate you licensing agreements if you have the exact same virtual machine on 2 different Macs (continue as above) & never run them at the same time?

    WARNING: I am not a lawyer, nor I speak on behalf of someone else. I think it is an acceptable thing to do. The essential fact is no more than a version is never used both - you may think that moving the virtual machine of it around (which I think is undoubtedly very well) and make a backup on another computer (which I think is also unquestionably very well). Synchronization of two guests and never use a version of the virtual machine, you're just swapping which copy the backup and that is in use.

  • Do I lose all the iMessages that have not been delivered to my iphone if I withdraw (from iMessage) my phone number? My current iphone is broken and I am planing to get a new one, with in a few months.

    Do I lose all the iMessages that have not been delivered to my iphone if I withdraw (from iMessage) my phone number? My current iphone is broken and I am planing to get a new one in a few months.

    You may lose everything.  iMessage, like most e-mail services, don't keep permanently undeliverable messages.  They only keep in the short period send queue (I don't know exactly how much time but some Apple tech sites indicate no more than 10 days to two weeks) until they are purged.  That's pretty standard as otherwise, large volume, messaging services would be sitting on tera-bytes of messages not delivered each month.

    You actually have to change my phone number?  If not, let alone sign and only in iMessage when you have the new phone with this set of numbers upward to the service.

  • iCloud v. portable storage storage

    I'm looking to buy a Mac Book Pro w/Retina display, but do not know how much storage internal that I really need on this subject.  Looking to store photos, music and home and online classes work.

    What is your internet access?  You can store 2 TB of data in iCloud with a monthly subscription, but the local storage is preferable. Long term monthly fee for storage and network downloads from iCloud add up to the price of a drive over internal SSD. local storage will be much faster to access to and you will not be dependent on the internet for access to your documents and data. Also, make a backup of your documents and data on an internal local drive will be easy to make a backup of your data and documents in iCloud.

    iCloud is great, if you want to keep the documents synchronized across multiple devices. I use iCloud for identical libraries of Photos and iTunes Libraries on all my Macs. But I use it only for synchronization and keep all documents and data locally for faster access.

    If you do not need icloud to keep synchronized devices, an internal drive more will be better, IMHO.

  • Alias files no synchronization in iCloud drive

    I use iCloud drive to keep all my synchronized and accessible files between my Mac and iPad.  I found that the alias files I use in the system do not appear in iCloud.com or other computers.  I use the alias feature to reduce the file size on my computer for my genealogy Articles.

    Does anyone know a way around this or what I could do wrong?

    Thank you.

    ...? How did this the size of the file downwards? Aliases are just a pointer to the original file, to remember anyway. Even if you were able to synchronize alias through with other devices, they are meaningless, unless the file is also present there and in exactly the same directory and structure under the same username as on the first computer (which will not apply on an iPad). I don't know about the specific case of iCloud and alias but another sync service do not handle their property for this purpose, so I would not be surprised to see that they have been blocked.

  • Such Photos for Mac works on El Capitan?

    I measured exceeds internet satellite. Yes, I know you think it's deplorable, but it's that or dial-up, where we live.

    I had a program of transfer of massive amounts of data at speeds that I didn't even know was possible thanks to our service, over 1 GB in 3 minutes. After some detective work, it seems that the pictures for Mac app was auto-charger on my Icloud account. I was able to stop the program with Little Snitch. Since then, I found the setting in the preferences to stop.

    So tell me if my interpretation of the pictures is correct: the default setting is it auto-upload of photos on your Mac to your Icloud account and it will also automatically download photos from any iPad or iPhone recorded via your Mac with the same account.

    My understanding is correct?

    Thanks in advance.

    So tell me if my interpretation of the pictures is correct: the default setting is it auto-upload of photos on your Mac to your Icloud account and it will also automatically download photos from any iPad or iPhone recorded via your Mac with the same account.

    This is not the default. You must activate iCloud in the pictures library > Preferences > iCloud for this to happen, also in system preferences > iCloud > Photos.

    And being before you allow it to make sure that, if you are registered with a storage with enough storage iCloud iCloud plan hold a large and growing photo library.  Without a subscription you have 5 GB of free cloud storage, and it won't work, if your photo library is large.

    If enabled, iCloud photo library will keep your library synchronized and identical Photos on all devices that have iCloud library enabled and use the same AppleID to iCloud.     iCloud Photo library FAQ - Apple Support https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT204264

  • Moved from my library of Photos to iCloud by car and now the pictures will not open it...

    I thought being smart and transfer my library of Photos to iCloud by car so I can access all my devices, but now the pictures won't open it. I hold down the Option key when starting the Photos and told to open the library moved in my world of iCloud drive. He complains about the library in an incompatible format (or something similar). If I move just back off iCloud drive to any where in my regular Finder file system then pictures is perfectly fine opening of the library. What the heck! Anyone know what is happening or that seemingly obvious thing does not work why?

    Yes... I think the library should be 'local' to your Mac. It can live on a USB key and maybe even a network drive, but I do not expect any level of performance with her on the cloud. If you think you can avoid to keep your phone synchronized with iCloud and still have access to all of your library, it won't work.

    Apple don't tell you not to do it, but they said this without mentioning iCloud drive...
