NAS storage backup

Hello

I'm a newcomer to VMware. I'm looking for free image ESXi4 (guest OS)-level backup solution. I came across ghettoVCB.sh script and think he would suite me. I intend to use the NAS box as a backup storage. However, I have some questions as follows. Everyone please specify them for me?

1 must. the NAS box support NFS?

2 must. the NAS box be in the VMware hardware compatibility list?

Thank you

Nitass

As long as it supports NFS v3 over TCP, it should work.  Make sure that the version is in the card before you buy it.

  • Lightroom loses the files on a network (NAS) storage disk

    I use Lightroom 5.7 on a PC under Windows 7 64-bit.

    A couple of weeks, I've installed a network (NAS) storage system as I was running out of HDD space.  I created a logical drive on the NAS for the Photos.  In Lightroom, I dragged photo on the new drive files.  Backup and catalogue files remained on the internal hard drive.

    My photos are arranged in chronological order, in directories (years) and its subdirectories (days, named using the format "2014_12_31").

    Since files on the NAS, Lightroom has been giving me some error messages in the develop module, that it cannot find the files.  Previews discovers very well in the library module, and the files are still there when I look for them in Windows Explorer.  The errors do not occur in the directories subdirectories integers (years) (days) - only some files in the respective subdirectories are affected.  And only the files of 2015 seem to have the problem.  And, when I drag the directories back on my internal hard drive (again, within Lightroom), the errors disappear and everything works fine.

  • Time Machine Sparsebundle NAS based Backup-error

    Like many times before, I This Time Machine Sparsebundle NAS based backup errors trying to force me to remove all my backups before creating a new - and I turn down this time.

    I found this article http://www.garth.org/archives/2011, ased 08,27,169,fix-time-machine-sparsebundle-nas-b-backup - errors.html which seems to be great, but already at the beginning that the commands do not work for me any more:

    MacBookPro: ~ root # hdiutil attach nomount - noverify - noautofsck - /Data/MacBookPro.sparsebundle

    hdiutil: attach failed - no such file or directory

    The path to the sparsebundle is TimeCapsule/Data/MacBookPro.sparsebundle.

    I have no idea of this Terminal stuff, so I am at a loss.

  • A single storage backup subscription can be shared with all family shared devices?

    A single storage backup subscription can be shared with all family shared devices?

    I have a family membership of 200 GB storage for 5 of my iPhone backups under an account id unique apple.

    I'm separating each iPhone at its own apple ID to avoid current problems. Can I share the backup of the storage with the family share?

    If I can't, I'll have to buy a subscription to backup for each device that will be more expensive.

    Unfortunately, iCloud storage cannot be shared under sharing of family.  See more details here- family shares - Apple Support

  • Hypervisor ESXi6 and sharing of NAS storage

    Is it possible to connect a NAS storage server hypervisor host ESXi6 as a data center?  Or is it a feature reserved for vCenter.

    You need not vcenter to connect your ESXi on an NFS share.

  • How can I migrate an ESXi host since a vDS in a vSwitch with NAS storage on vDS

    I need to move some on a vDS esxi hosts to a standard vSwitch to move a new vCenter ESXi hosts

    I have two 10 GB network adapters that manage the ports VM, NAS storage and vmotion.

    Is there a documented procedure to move a vDS in a vSwitch, particularly for migration from NAS storage to a vSwitch?

    Thank you

    Tom

    No, you will need to do this on a per-host basis.

    I really recommend doing one by one, not in a hurry and checking all the networking before you proceed to the next step. Example: after migrating the vmkernel interfaces, check on a ssh connection to the host if it can vmkping the NAS. Before you move all the virtual machines on the host to the switch std, move one and check if the VM networking continues to function. This will prevent errors and downtime.

  • Access NAS storage of ESXi Server using VMKernel Port?

    Hello

    I would like to know the best procedure to connect to the NAS storage of ESXi host 5. I am able to connect to the NAS storage according to the screenshots listed in the link below.

    http://www.tintri.com/blog/2011/11/connecting-vSphere-to-NFS-the-easy-way/

    But, I saw different configurations in the past where port dedicated VMkernel is assigned to NAS and all storage goes into network 10 G. I try to do the same and created a VMkernel for NAS port. But I don't think that traffic is going over there as it is not used at all.

    I gave the IP address of the ESXi server on the NAS box to get access. I couldn't give address IP VMkernel sideways NAS. How can I make use of this IP VMKernel dedicated NFS storage?

    I want to implement the best way to pass NAS 10 G network traffic. In addition, How can I test if storage traffic crosses VMkernel port?

    Suggestions needed.

    Virtualinfra is right that you must use a different subnet for NFS traffic. You masked the IP range, so I don't see what you use, but make sure that the vmkernel and storage using a single subnet, not the management subnet. If you get an error, your use of a subnet that goes out the default gateway of the management port, or that you are using the same subnet.

    I wrote a few articles on the use of NFS with vSphere: http://wahlnetwork.com/2012/04/19/nfs-on-vsphere-a-few-misconceptions/

    Also, make sure that the vmnic can route traffic on that subnet, as in the case of the use of VLANs.

  • The pictures/catalogue on a NAS storage

    Hi all

    I have a Macbook Pro on my network and also a desktop computer. I want to do is to store my photos on my NAS and run the catalog from there, if I can share on both computers. However when I try to point to a network directory that LR has told me he is not able to do. Is there a way to get around this? I would like to be able to store on the server and work from there.

    See you soon

    LR does not support the good catalog storage on network volumes, but you can store photos on network volumes.  There are two solutions of workaround for the restriction of catalogue:

    -Keep your photos on a network volume and use Dropbox (or similar) to synchronize the catalog file between your computers.

    -Create an image disk writable on the network drive and store your catalog in this disk image.

    There are discussions in this forum and the official feedback Adobe forum giving more details on them. No work around is officially supported.  I have tried both methods, but I feel like the other threads, is that they could be fragile.   So make sure that you have reliable, tested backups of your catalog.

  • Using CC for originals of cloud storage/backup?

    Hello!

    I have a problem after Adobe Revel was closed and I was pushed to the solution of creative Cloud with free trial 1 year.

    My promary goal is to have the cloud storage solution and nice and simple sharing albums with family (possibility to download the originals).

    Revel did this perfectly.

    With Lightromm CC, I have a few challenges since it is not that simple and easy to use on a personal basis (create albums, download).

    As far as I understand it comes to solution of ore to edit photos rather than store & share.

    There is an option of sharing with the mobile application mobile of Lightroom, but it does not backup and only give you access to preview, right?

    A solution similar to Adobe Revel?

    Thank you in advance!

    Alex

    How can I access this feature?

    There is not (yet) you cannot use it. Only way to use the creative cloud as backup is to set up a publication record (or do it manually) in your folder of creative cloud on your original computer and export it so they get synchronized.

  • Exchange/SQL - Local or NFS/NAS storage?

    I'll put up our first vSphere environment.

    Material:

    HP DL380 G6 (2xQuad processors, 16 GB memory)

    Aberdeen (VMware certified NAS) with the NFS data store

    The host systems and storage are connected with multiple 1 GB NICs.  A second host is added for redundancy and increased VM shortly.

    I have a couple of operation low production VM on that very well because we test the system.  We now plan to create our exchange and SQL vm.  My question is if it's better to put these VM on local storage or on the nfs datastore?  We could not afford the full FC SAN, but reading a lot of white papers indicating the performance of nas NFS isn't so bad.  I'm looking for some advice from real world concerning data exchange/SQL on this type of installation.  I understand that I would lose the advanced features of the nfs if I went local storage but it plans for the performance.

    Now to put this in perspective, e-mail users total attaching to the exhange server just 75... but the availability is obviously important for them.

    Advice?

    Thank you

    If you go just for a basic setup, a large store of data is very good.  It might help separate out and use two exports, or more, if you want to use etherchannel, but who is probably added complexity that you don't really need at this point.

  • Specifications of IOmega Home Media 1 TB NAS storage

    I have an IOMega Home Media drive that I bought a few years ago now (http://www.iomega.com/about/prreleases/2009/010509_home_media.html) and decided to start using it primarily as a server for my high-resolution audio. It is to be newly acquired Setup for my network Naim UnitiQute streamer. However, I have discovered since the performance of the NAS IOmega is pitifully bad and is actually unusable for its intended purpose. For example, it took well over 24 hours to remove 100 GB of old media (my low resolution itunes library and other things). So I can actually stream high resolution to my Naim network drive, I need to buy another drive superior performance NAS, but for this I need to know the material detailed specifications of the car so I can compare these measurements with other new potential players. for example the Nas Lacie 2Big. What I'm looking for above all, is the amount of RAM and the processor clock frequency. These are usually specified in new NAS drives, but IOmega because do not exist in their own right over and Lenovo did a pretty bad job on acknowleding the existence of older IOmega products, its very difficult for me to find this information. I need this information to help me not to buy a new NAS drive that is simply not up to par, so thanks in advance. There may be a link to the specifications of the product on Lenovo somewhere.

  • How WD My Book World Edition Network Attached Storage backup with Vista backup

    Hello
    I have a dandy new My Book World Edition which is recognized by Vista and to which I have traced some readers. I'm trying to get a copy of Vista to 64 backup to save a backup on this device, but it does not work. I hope someone here can have successfully addressed this. I tried the backup on mapped drives, but they do not seem to be listed under the local computer. I then select the My Book World Edition device networking (by browing to it), and even if I correctly enter the usernam and password, backup of Vista tells me that it can't open the backup on her drive.

    Thanks for any help in setting this up.
