• Veeam Backup & Replication with VMWare

  Hello everyone,

  I have a question about Veeam Backup and VmWare:

  Fact the license "vStorage API" (contained in the "essential package") is necessary to use Veeam Backup & Replication?

  If 'Yes', I don't know why...?

  We have in the ESX servers of my company 2 with 2 VM on each of them, with version 4.1.

  We will buy VeeamBackup but I wonder if we should also buy essential Kit...?

  Thanks to all the people who will give me some information about this,

  And sorry for the possible mistakes (I am french)

  Elise u useless any api for veeam to work.

  Just install it as per instruction of veeam configure n you're all set

• See 4.5 vs backup replication

  I'll put up a view environment 4.5, and I'm a little confused as to what features actually do.

  I have a related cloning set up pool and I run a virtual machine in local mode. I see the option "backup of demand." Is this really send the changes to the original on the server?

  In addition, there is an option to start replication from the administrator of the display for a desktop computer. Is it the same as the backup of the application?

  Thank you

  Scott

  Replication:-version Office vCenter server is updated with the changes from the fashion Office local. The lock remains in place.

  You can start replications for workstations that run in local mode. Your application can start a replication before the next scheduled replication. If the client policy allows a user who retrieves a local office can also launch a replication from customer view.

  If you start a replication while View Client with Local Mode is already data replication, your replication starts after the previous replication is complete. Your pending request does not stop the previous replication

  Request a backup: the user can send the changes on servers and the VM will remain on-site.

• How do Active/Backup (replication config) ACS 4.1

  Hello

  I tried to find a way by which I can do on my ACS active & the other as secondary IE how I can reproduce the config made on an asset to the backup of the acs. I m using ACS SE 4.1

  Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

  -Piyush

  Hello

  You can use the box RDBMS synchronization to synchronize the 2 boxes of ACS, but I don't think that there is a way to make an active and the other secondary on the ACS itself.

  If you are authenticating users of your switches wireless etc... You can do first appears in ACS 'active' and 'secondary' GBA listed second. This secondary GBA would only used it actively it was not available.

• Foglight 5.6.5 | Backup management

  Hello

  We use foglight 5.6.5 we want to monitor backup devices. like availability, error, jobs, etc...

  Please tell me, what is the name of cartridge that is supported for foglight 5.6.5?

  Thank you

  Christopher F

  There is no cartridge 'out of the box' for this.

  You can add in fact default monitoring features of Foglight with utility officials, one of them (logfilter) monitors especially newspapers and another (appmonitor) monitors the process http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/performance-monitoring/foglight-administrators/w/admins-wiki/5646.monitoring-application-availability-using-foglight-utility-agents.

  Everything that has an existing script or a command line interface (shell, perl script, java script, etc.) can be monitored using a script agent (enough of wrapping this script and send the output to the Foglight Server).

• two different backup based CBT products can save the same vm without affecting the other?

  POS and Veeam use CBT for backups after the full initial.

  What will happen if they save both the same virtual machine?

  I checked on this several years ago and the information available at the time seem to indicate that it works very well (the details seem to have fled my organic storage)

  right now I use veeam backup replication and vsphere production Dr. (partly because I had hoped to go back to SRM).

  Several years ago I used WTP (when it was new) and it worked perfectly to recover from a failed san (luckily I had just updated to the first version of the direct recovery so it was easy and very fast).

  stop using POS due to problems of maintenance cycle in progress where he had run more and more long and never ended.  redeployed several times and even had not involved with support no resolution therefore had to move away from the product.

  now, I would like to back (especially since it is included with the enterprise license), but needed if ensure that it does not affect backups of production using the CBT.  I can do some testing of course, but thought ask and see if anyone has any information to share.

  Thank you

  From a technical point of view it should not be problems, unless the application of different run their backups at the same time.

  CBT marks the changed blocks using a ChangeID which is incremented whenever someone creates a snapshot. Applications determine the blocks changed since the most recent backup by requesting a list of blocks with a ChangeID higher than that of their last backup/replication.

• Pause/Stop replication in the RV MRS

  Hello

  I guess migrate VMS from one datacenter to another data center and it was a matter of time so I decided to configure replication of vSphere so that I can migrate the virtual machine.

  Now I see the virtual machine on the target DC but I want to stop replication now in DC source as my goal was to see the virtual machine in the target DC. I need to stop the virtual machine to the DC source and re - configure the virtual machine on the target site. Also, for your information I have not configured those VMS in any protection and recovery plan because I use only for reasons of migration of the VR. I can see the target clustered vmdk files. Looking for expert advice. Thank you

  vm2014

  Hello

  What VR version do you use? If 5.1 or the next day, you can use the vSphere IU of replication in the Web Client. The vCenter-> monitor-> incoming replication tab you will see 'Recover' button once you select the specific virtual machine replication. In the current versions, the recovery of customer Web VR Assistant is for a virtual machine at a time.

  Time to decide to go with the migration, you can:

  1. explicitly call "Sync" of the user interface, while the source VM THAT is always on - to submit recent changes on the target site.

  2. stop / power off from the source of the VM.

  3. call the wizard of recovery of the VR UI in the Web Client to the target site. You can choose to replicate any recent changes made when closing (after synchronization point in step 1.).

  4. the VR task will consolidate the newspaper waiting for Redo on the site target on basic disks, update the .vmx replicated and other configuration files and enter them as VM on vCenter target inventory. VR without SRM uses a shadow virtual machines on the target site. VM is only recorded in step 4.

  Please consult the official documentation to perform a recovery with vSphere replication

  Please also note:

  1 stop the replication (instead of the wizard of recovery of the VR UI for the Web Client or the SRM Recovery Plan) will clean all disks and configuration files created by VR to the data store (s) from the target, unless the collection has already been completed and the replication of the "Recovered" status

  2. remove the source VM (or its host to vCenter source inventory), will automatically stop the replication - 1. above.

  Kind regards

• Use SRM with Veeam for replication

  Anyone using Veeam to replicate the data of a site of Prod to a recovery site, also using MRS to create recovery groups and run then planned migration?  Is it still possible?

  No it's not possible - they are independent products - this white paper describes the product isolation - http://www.veeam.com/vmware-srm-veeam-backup-replication-complementing-tools.html

• Error in the process of backup and migration

  Hello world

  We buy a new server in our office. I want to migrate all virtual machines of old server ESXi to new ESXi server. I installed a Veeam Backup & Replication Free Edition to take backup of virtual machines or quick migrate between ESXi hosts. All the VMs were transferred successfully from the old server to new server, except 1 Server (TFS). I have an error in TFS server backup and transfer. When I want to transfer TFS or a backup of it, the error "the file < indeterminate finename > not found" occurs.

  I turned off the VM TFS and started the backup procedure, but I got the same error. I tried to use another third called vmProtect Acronis backup tools. With this tool, I got the same error, but in the format clearly. The error is:

  Task ' back to ' local folders "could not: ' cannot create a backup.

  2. value of the disc. EnableUUID is set to True. I changed it to false.

  But nothing has changed and the same error occurred.

  According to an another KB:

  1 uninstalled the VMware Tools TFS Vm and rebooted, reinstalled VMware Tools in the customized format.

  2. in personalization, Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) Unchecked and reinstalled VMware Tools.

  But nothing has changed and the same error occurred.

  Screenshot of my data store is available in attachment.

  Let me know if you have any useful recommendation to solve the problem.

  Thank you all.

  Hello

  You can engage the snapshot using the VI client. Right-click on the virtual machine, and then click snapshot. Snapshot Manager.

• APIs are available to manage the replication of vsphere as startup/Showdown of replication programmatically?

  Can we manage/monitor vsphere replication as start/slaughter of replication of VMs and monitor iterator programmatically? These APIs are available?

  Hello

  In 5.0.x and 5.1.x SRM SRM / vSphere 5.1.x vSphere Management Server Replication replication is not a public API.

  However, by popular demand, the function could be included in a future release.

• VM WARNING Action of monitoring?

  Hello

  We organize 5 ESXi and vCenter 5.

  We constantly get alert warning message "VM the follow-up of the Action" for a virtualized XP VM.

  We would like to ask your advice makes the means of warning AND is it possible to have it repaired?

  
  We get the error again this morning, and the only thing we have done is that VM is saved by vRanger Pro 5 connection last night.  We wonder if the alert is related to connection vRanger backup?

  Thank you

  Yes, I agree with Depping. I too had a similar with VMware tools heartbeat problem when I run the backup / replication on the virtual machine. He always warns alarm of heartbeat and it also depends on the thresholds.

• issue backup SQL vCenter

  Can I backup the database Sql 2005 of the vCenterserver with a netbackup client like truncates logs then.

  Hello

  Honestly, I just create a SQL job to do the backup of the database and then simply leave netbackup backup your sql backup.  I did a post on how to make a backup of the database of Veeam, but the same thing applies to vCenter - it's just what I'd do...

• HA with backups?

  Friends,
  
  In a HA environment, you guys deem it necessary to back up virtual machines?
  
  Let me explain.
  
  I have two clients who connect to VMware servers in storage, a MD3000 andMD3000i with another customer in three years that never stopped because of VMStorage, these virtual machines are storages. These devices have 4 NICs / HBAS, two controllers, backup disks, both sources are reliable, we see a storage hardlypresent a problem to send to the space of all virtual machines.
  
  The thing is I did a project is no alternative, using Veeam Backup & Replication, twoESXi hosts, each don't host with an Iomega NAS storage to store virtual, Veeam replicatefrom computers one host to another, put the machines in storage.
  
  Only the customer for reasons of standardisation all Dell prefer to use, it has a host of DellPE 1950 with 8 GB of RAM, will increase up to 24 GB of memory, this server has twoIntel Quad-Core 5500 series. Then there will be bought a new server Dell R410 MOU with 32 GB of RAM and two Intel Quad-Core and a Dell PowerVault storage 3200i, thisstorage longer VMs, guest HA with vSphere essential Kit.
  
  Then how the project is already relatively expensive throw away design allows the purchase of Veeam Backup & Replication and Storage Iomega store extra thesebackups, as you can see the customer will be moved forward equipment and Storageof a smart, robust, has a 1% chance of having an accident problem committing allVMs.
  
  What do you think?
  
  Another thing, is there a any restriction on the provision of a HA of servers using different models, although from the same manufacturer? All restrictions with the processor for example? In another project I did and even posted in the community, use twoidentical Dell R410.
  
  Thanks guys, now is to rethink the project here, using Veeam delete HA HA and use with vSphere Essentials Plus Kit.

  Yes, backups are important - HA does not protect against hardware failures, but it does not protect against human error - so backups are essential.

  Since HA is a reboot of the correspondents of the equipment is based not as critical that with a cluster DRS and vMotion - in fact, you could have a HA cluster with Intel and AMD processor based server - but I wouldn't recommend it - not

• Some sober questions HA, need backup?

  Senhores,

  Em um ambiente com HA, vcs nou3man Chipre fazer backup maquinas tolls?

  Lap EU explain.

  Tenho Doi client than tem Vmware online storages, um MD3000 em servidores e outro client com MD3000i, em 3 Años nunca Quebec as Vms pararam por conta storage, Vms ficam nestes/place. Estes equipamentos tem 4 while rede/HBA, duas controladoras, discos relief, duas fontes, sao equipamentos confiaveis dificilmente vemos um storage present um problema control para o Espaço todas as Vms.

  O launches fiz e um projeto HA alternative, using Veeam Backup & Replication, doi ESXi hosts, each host com Storage Iomega NAS as VMS para armazenar um, of replicaria o Veeam host um para o outro, colocando as Máquinas of our warehouses.

  So as o client por motivated padronizacao favorite usar tudo Dell, ele possui um host Dell 1950 PE 8 GB of RAM, vai put but getting memoria com a 24GO, este servidor possui Doi Intel Quad-Core da series 5500. Then will be comprado um novo servidor Dell R410 PE com 32GB RAM e Doi Intel Quad-Core e um storage Dell PowerVault 3200i, neste Modica like Vms, os hosts em HA storage using o vSphere essential Plus Kit.

  Then como o projeto ja esta el caro, descartarei no projeto a compra licencas of Veeam Backup & Replication e um armazenar extra storage para Iomega backup estes, como ver o game client tera equipamentos of ponta, e um storage URM inteligente, robusto, tem 1% chance to get um problema Sinestro comprometa todas as Vms.

  O as nou3man?

  Outra coisa, exist any restricao em um HA fazer using modelos diferent, mesmo sendo manufacturer mesmo servidores? Any restricao com processador por exemplo? Em projeto Québec fiz outro e postei ate na comunidade, U.S.., doi identicos Dell R410.

  Valeu pessoal, o projeto aqui, depower HA redesenhar e agora com e usar HA Veeam vSphere Essentials Kit Plus com.

  Hello that tal,

  Veeam Backup are an excelente producto y as a precios're bastante razonable in comparison con las otras options than tienes como Symantec some.  Consolidate backup VMware fue hace descontinuado a buen tiempo y reemplazado por Data Recovery, which are a buen producto, aun are una muy limitada respond, y esta pensada para las implementaciones mas small and than tienes TU.

  Saludos,
