• SAN based replication options

  What are the SAN based replication with oracle dataguard purchase options?

  All those set up SAN replication (for DR) on front without oracle dataguard?

  Nothing against Oracle Data Guard but as based replication option SAN - EMC VPLEX provides very good option to achieve the RTO of zero which is not possible otherwise.

  It is certified by Oracle, so no worries around support.

• Host-based license

  I have an ESX host with a license based on the host, now let's say the machine is not owned by our company, it's on "ready".

  Let's say we are audited by VM Ware, and they want to know our environment.  Now, let's say that 'ready' machine the company bankrupt, but still need to recover the license information.

  Is this possible?  If I click on the machine configuration and select about license, it displays 'host license file' and I vaguely remember implementation, but the person who sent me the file is of type LONG gone... and this is the story of the e-mail.  Is there a way I can connect to the server to get ANY type of license information (like where it was purchased, and how it was recorded, because someone has - I know that's not on the server, but any license information such that will help key).  How can I do this?

  The license file must be on the ESX host to: /etc/vmware/vmware.lic

  You should be able to pull usig WinSCP, then open it.  It will not show that he registered, but you can submit this file to supprt VM or licensing to make better known the owner/register(er?)

• SRM 5.1 + vReplication 5.1 + vCenter ESXi 5.0 5.1?

  I understand that MRS 5.1 requires 5.1 and 5.1 replication vSphere vCenter if I want to use host-based replication. But the ESXi host must be 5.1 as well or it can be 5.0?

  Thank you.

  This verified and it's OK to use with VR 5.1 5.0 ESXi hosts.

  You can even have different versions of ESXi in protected sites and recovery.

  Good luck

• HP LaserJet M1132 MFP: HP M1132 multifunction printer could not print from TS Win2008 (Remote Desktop), is that M1132 is based on the host system

  is there someone can let me know, this printer can be used for remote desktop or not? Thank you.

  Hello

  The HP Laserjet Pro M1132 is based on host printer indeed and consequences it only is not supported on Citrix / Terminal Services / RDP.

  You can find the specifications below:

• Configure access ssh_key based switch MXL. Not "based on the host."

  I have read the documentation and cannot get to a cohesive whole procedure in order to get the simple key-based authentication to work.

  The docs separate this task in a wide variety of measures in order to activate authentication "host-based", but I don't want to.  I use two laptops and 2 different offices in various locations.  "Host-based" is not going to work for me.  I need an authentication of purely "function key".  You need an example of what involved specific steps and the order to execute them.  I find that this process is pretty simple on the HP based including the new Arubas switches.  But this MXL documentation is difficult to decipher.

  It seems as it is a one-at-a-time operation, but it is more advanced and allows you to better separate, and so I'm happy with it so far.

  1. create the user with administrator privileges
  SN - MXL (conf) "JUtilisateur" somepass privilège 15 password #username

  2 enable authentication rsa
  SN - MXL (conf) ssh rsa authentication #ip activate

  3. copy your public key in the MXL (pull)
  SN - MXL #copy scp: flash:
  Address or name of the host remote []: 172.16.11.10
  Port number of the server [22]:
  Source file name []:.ssh/juser_rsa.pub
  User name to host remote login: "JUtilisateur"
  Password to the remote to connect host:
  The destination [juser_rsa.pub] file name:
  !!
  403 bytes copied successfully

  4. now log in as user, and run:
  SN - MXL #ip ssh juser_rsa.pub my authorized key of rsa authentication
  RSA keys added to the list of authorized Keys user.
  Delete the juser_rsa.pub file: (yes/no)? Yes

  5. I had to create the file ~.ssh/config with the following statement:

  host mxl
  Host name 172.16.11.1
  The user juser
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/juser_rsa

  This means that the PRIVATE key is referenced.  Note: Make sure that your config file is has 644 permissions.

  6 test

  $ ssh mxl

• What is the minimum reqs to use based on the host IPS?

  I have several servers related to the internet and a basic ASA-5510.

  Apart from the purchase of the AIP - SSM and the upgrade of the 5510 license, what else is necessary to have a host-based IPS?

  Do I need to buy March or other software?

  How are the agents for safety spec'ed?

  Thank you.

  Some time ago Cisco was a really great host-based IPS, security of Cisco (CSA) officer. It's end of life and you should look for a different provider. Ditto for the MARCH central software system, which also is EOL.

  Looking for a server protection?
  With the help of the AIP - SSM is a good solution, to protect a HTTPS server, you need to think a proxy reversed in the demilitarized zone which completes the SSL and sends pure HTTP to the server of origin. Which can be inspected with a firewall-web on the proxy and also by the epi to the ASA.

• Relocate DC using MRS?

  Hi people,

  Currently, my company has 2 data centers. One in New York and one in MY. A decision was made to close the data center of MY and I was instructed to get the virtual environment moves on the DC to NY. Some time, I would like to just physically move the ESXI hosts via UPS , the other decision that was made was to add new hosts esxi for the DC to NY. We will be upgrading the liaison network between the two sites.

  
  My first thought and maybe a bad one, was to use the converter and try to V2V from one domain controller to another. Now, I wonder if perhaps SRM can do this? I know that is not the purpose of SRM, then perhaps that my hypothesis is far fetched. If MRS can be used, just can it with the host replication? I don't know if the array based replication is an option yet.

  If I'm missing something and there is an easier way, please enlighten me

  Thank you

  Actually from vSphere 5.1, replication of vSphere SRM functionality was broken off SRM and is now provided with vSphere (all except Essentials license levels) as a stand-alone feature.  So, Yes, marknashe pouvez use 5.1 replication of vSphere functionality (assuming you are using vSphere 5.1?).   He works under the control of a single virtual circuit and does not need 2 VC (one on each site) as is the case with MRS. What is missing from this approach is automation for the migration process, the migration speed and a test feature (but maybe it's not important in this particular circumstance), however it does not cost anything and is a much better solution than V2V - ing your VMS, because downtime will be considerably reduced (VMs must be down to the final judgment & incremental synchronization).

  Second, the planned migration of SRM workflow is designed to meet for exactly this datacenter migration use case.  Several of my clients have used it for exactly that.   Initially, VMware didn't want RS to make use of, but it turns out that about 1/3 of SRM clients exactly what were doing anyway.  So now, VMware has blessed this particular use case with its own workflow.  In fact, it's exactly as a failover, except priority #1 is the integrity of the data; If there is no problem in the case of virtual machines on the live site or if there are final data synchronization (assuming async) then the workflow paused to allow the issue to be addressed before proceeding.

  Invest in RS is useful if you plan to operate in the future for DR automation... If not then vSphere 5.1 replication might be good enough.

• Problems with vSphere replication

  Hello

  Ive been with vSphere for about a week now and I'm faced with the logic of the replication tool V.

  I've been creeping (don't not trolling) forums and web trying to find a good source that can explain this plugin which is visible in my Web client installation method. I also license MORE.

  This is probably the only one I can find so far: -.

  http://vknowledge.NET/2012/09/12/vSphere-5-1-getting-started-with-vSphere-replication-5-1/

  What I want to achieve is to reproduce all the virtual machines on one of my servers to another identical server of the G8.

  Two questions if you could help please?

  1. someone any good tutorials on it.

  2. I went and made a schoolboy error, I think, I gave the vSphere replicaiton appliance the same IP address as my ESXi host. (This is how I am wrong) and now I can not access the host because of this machine. Can someone tell me how I can reconnect to this machine without a comprehensive resettlement and reconstruction of 50 guests or more.

  Thanks in advance if you can help.

  It is difficult to explain the internel operation of the SRM, vsphere replication etc... in this little time...

  the basics are simple... How it works... ?

  There are 2 types of replication replication 1-vsphere 2-array based replication

  vpshere replication is a basic agent - it's a VR agent will be there inside the esxi hosts this monitor of the agent running the virtual machine inside this host and replicates data binding if WAN remote site.

  the main PR\648606FR here is - once the replication of the entire virtual machine that's happened, after that only the blocks changed the VMFS will be launched on the... which is the only the modified virtual machine data will be replicated. It's called CBT, VR agent follows the blocks inside the VMFS, if any block of virtual machine data is changed it will get replicated.

  dosent it replication vsphere require no support from the underlying storage Bay...

  the second is the table of a function... where the entire replication is managed by the matrix of storage... and it works with the MRS.

  See the post for more details... http://communities.VMware.com/message/2175005#2175005

  now to your questions.

  1. someone any good tutorials on it. -the best method is to read the official docs...

  If the esx host is clustered, using the ILO and esxi shell put the host in maintenance... mode and reset the esxi

  To switch to maintenance mode, run the following command

  VMware-vim-cmd/hostsvc/maintenance_mode_enter

  and

  To exit the maintenance mode, run the following command

• Celerra + SRM and Replication manager

  Hi do anyone knows if its possible to integrate EMC replication manager a Celerra ISCSI / MRS. configuration?

  Replication Manager / SE, I read integrates with Virtual Center, puts the virtual machines in snapshot mode (kind of like the fact of vcb) and then starts the replication to ensure that everything is in order, I also thought with the module for VMware tools with 3.5 update 2 part tools VSS should quiese SQL and make sure that its happy before the virtual machine put in snapshot mode.

  I know with my current Celerra/SRM talks SRM server through the matrix of configuration manager and I expect actually has nothing to do with the real task of replication in celerra manager, im thinking it should be possible to use RM to kickoff between the Celerra replication and still have happy and work SRM.

  I'm way off here?...  If someone knows the answer to this... Please let me know... It would be much appreciated.

  Thank you

  Hello

  I write this as an EMC employee

  «Replication Manager / SE, I read integrates with Virtual Center, puts the virtual machines in snapshot mode (a kind of like vcb) then launches the replication to ensure that everything is in order, I also thought with the VMware tools with 3.5 module update 2 part tools VSS should quiese SQL and make sure that its happy before the virtual machine put in snapshot mode.»

  That's right – Replication Manager is able to do two things - integration with VMware Virtual Center to snapshots by car from Virtual Machines residing in a VMFS volume built on iSCSI.

  Following the call in Virtual Center agent proxy Manager VMFS Replication called Celerra to take the local snapshot. This snapshot can then be mounted to another ESX for backup (if this ESX host is running version ESX console with a backup agent installed in this console - backups for flat file VMDK) or simply to allow the machine virtual administrator to navigate in the data store is presented as a wink on the recovery of ESX host to activate the Virtual Machine defined in full file recovery. The vocation of VMware SnapShot Manager provides a consistent point machine to return where the virtual machine recovery fails

  Replication Manager can create replicas consistent application for such Applications a SQL and Oracle if these scores of applications based on VMFS volumes rather than posing as Raw Device Mappings. The caveat with this is that the volume presented to the Virtual Machine in question must be devoted to this Virtual Machine and a single VMDK file can be built on the VMFS volume) so you would need a volume for your logs, your database, etc. We call this use of replicas of "Virtual disk" case - confused I know

  So two use cases

  VMFS machine restoration for a set of Virtual Machines and integrated individual application VMFS volume consistent replicas for specific virtual machines with their scores of applications built on individually provisioned VMFS volumes

  I don't know why you want to use Replication Manager kickoff the SRM associated Celerra replication. the SRM model is basically continuous replication - i.e. an algorithm runs to determine to what extent the site of DR comes from the primary and push any data the differences across the wire. The bandwidth used for this can be strangled and demand

  Replication Manager leads Celerra replication tends to be regular and non-continuous

  With regard to your query on the integration of Replication Manager and SRM. I prefer to think to Replication manager and SRM for the moment be tolerant to each other. Replication Manager solutions I have just described are focused on the side backup and restoration of the entire equation of continuity of business and focused around that at the local level, so that the RS is more oriented toward the recovery room disaster

  I don't see that going forward, there will be more integration and I hope that Replication Manager may in the future serve to ensure consistency of the request as a level of additional service in the comprehensive proposal of SRM

• vSphere replication vs. SRM

  What are the basic factors which would lead me to choose replication or SRM vsphere in a client environment?

  You ask a comparison of replication on Bay with SRM vs vSphere replication and SRM (SRM can use both) or ask about the differences between replication vSphere autonomous vs. SRM (with an RV or ABR)?

  If this is the first I would recommend this post: Articles VMware SRM - vs vSphere - VMware vSphere Blog - replication array-based replication

  If it's the second, VR does not include all the orchestration, test, reporting and class DR SRM operating company, but allows a protection individual VM and recovery into or through the clusters.  VR works to retrieve a few (less than 5-10) virtual machines as the recovery process must be made individually for each virtual computer. As mentioned made autonomous VR default orchestration, automation, without interruption of service analysis and account of the capabilities of MRS. VR is included in vSphere Essentials more than regulation or newer, the SRM is a VM or per CPU license (within vCloud Suite Enterprise).

• Protection group virtual machines do not have consistent snapshop point in time using vSphere replication

  As the title, we feel when capturing instant timestamp for virtual machines in a protection group.

  Which means a group of database servers, applications, and others, when drill us test to start the virtual machines in the recovering site files timestamp in the virtual machines are varied.

  Snapshot work is executed simultaneously for all virtual machines in the group when planning replication hit? Or is it because certain virtual machines (like DB) speak more time to complete the snapshot so than others like apps VM completed early?

  Anyone hit this problem? We use vSphere replication instead of array based replication.

  Thanks /.

  Dylan

  Hello

  It is a behavior expected with current versions of vSphere replication - replication source host Scheduler is not aware of any grouping of virtual machines and starts the replica instance to meet the RPO requirements. The decision when to start a new instance is based on the time of loading and transfer to some of the previous instances.

  Multi-vm coherence is on the roadmap for a future release and will describe what exactly you address issues.

  If you use VR 5.5, you may use multiple points depending on the time (JEREMIAH) and after switching some of the old machines instances (represented by VM snapshots) to match the State of the other machines.

• RS 5 + VC 5 + ESXi 4.1, replication?

  I have a client who wants to use the new features of replication of RS 5. I know that it requires VCenter 5 and the compatibility matrix indicates that ESXi 4.1 is supported, however I can not find no confirm that SRM 5 replication will work with a combination of 5 VC and ESXi 4.1. Knowledge for sure?

  -Adam

  Hello

  vSphere replication only works with 5.0 ESXi hosts.

  You will find confirmation in SRM 5.0 release notes:

  
  

  vSphere replication. When it is used in conjunction with VMware vSphere 5.0, Site Recovery Manager 5.0 introduces a new ability to use the 5.0 vSphere host to perform the replication of the slot voltage of the virtual machines on the network to another host vSphere 5.0, without requirement of the storage array-based replication. As virtual machines change with use, the changed blocks are replicated on a snapshot of the virtual machine reside on the recovering site, in line with a goal of recovery Point defined as a property of the virtual machine.

  and

  SRM 5.0 can work with previous versions (4.0, 4.1) vSphere and Virtual Infrastructure (3.5) only if you are using replication based on the Bay. If vSphere replication must be used (alone or in conjunction with the replication on Bay) then VMware ESX must be upgraded to version 5.0 as part of the upgrade process.

• One of many replication, or I can do this?

  Hello

  I have two 6510e on the campus. One of them is the main (in our main data center) and the other in our data center for backup (also on campus) and is just there to replicate to. It's a fairly simple setup and it works beautifully. Now the key: it works so well that people are starting to ask whether there is a way to have a third unit (perhaps a PS6610E, not sure yet) sitting in our disaster recovery site and replicate the secondary unit.

  Thank you!

  Hello

  No sorry.  A volume can be replicated only to one partner, and you can not re - duplicate a replica.   I've heard of customers using scripts for promote/clone a replica to a host side DR to backup to tape, or software to replicate to another use host-based storage.

  Kind regards

• Hosts the naming - how to use VMware name instead of file name

  Please see attached file.

  All hosts based on the same models appear under the same name in hosts. Is it possible to configure vFoglight to extract the vCenter appoint to the host instead of using the file name of the VMware disk for guests of actual spending?

  You are looking in the wrong place in the object model.

  Machine virtual VMWare is an extension of the host object model.  Think of the host as the base model by the dealer and the virtual machine as the base model with all the bells and whistles added to make a street racer.

  If you enter a virtual machine name in the top search bar, you will see that the returned results include objects of different types, probably a Machine virtual VMWare and a host.  Select the virtual machine VMWare will take you to the model object VMWare-specific screens.  Similar results for HyperV, etc..

  There is always a host record for each virtual machine, just as each car factory has the model of base somewhere.  He just won't have all the bells and whistles.

  Looking at your attachment, I think that what you see on the dashboard can be what you see in Virtual Center.  Virtual machines have a name that appears on the list of the Virtual Center, which can be separated from the real name assigned to the VM inside the operating system.  If you fix the naming in VC, I think you will find that the correction automatically flows to vFoglight.
