New to ESXi: Simple backup question

Hello

I'm new to ESXi but have used VMWare Server and WorkStation.

My current practice is to create virtual machines with drive / size of the file in increments of 2 GB.

In this way, I end up with small files, even for a virtual hard disk of 80 GB. I can then move the files to another VMWare host and re-create all VM.

Now on ESXi, I see that all of the 80 GB is attributed...

If I take a snapshot (which I think translates into a smaller file) and backup, it would be sufficient to re - create the VM then

go back to the snapshot? I'd be able to do this on a different host ESXi?

Any suggestions?

Thank you

Export of OVF format are surprisingly low in most cases, depends on how full are your disks of virtual machines, blocks null are excluded and the data are compressed export.

  • Specialization on a new server ESXi 5

    I want to set up a new server ESXI 5.x for a customer and would like to clarify certain points, if you will allow me.

    1 ESXI 5.x supports up to 32 GB of RAM, correct?

    2. If I have a server with a processor image, I, from point of view of the ESXI, four CPU available is to allocate to the virtual methods, correct? And two quad-cores I'd have 8 CPU is to allocate to virtual methods?

    With ESXI 4.1 I found work two logics CPU very well support a CPU heavily used on a new HP Server as long as my other virtual methods are virtual demand as storage of data or Symantec Antivirus servers servers, etc..

    3. I asked earlier but it's not kosher to overallocate computer CPU? If I have a Quad Core processor and assign 8 Virtual CPU I overuse. Is it always a bad thing with 5.x?

    Thank you very much for the friendly help continues I go out here.

    The backup, you can certainly manually save or use in comments like Windows backup backup. I just wanted to talk because many people don't think that.

    Regarding commissioning, it depends on the workload as I've mentioned before and also depends on how to configure the virtual machines. If you have a 4 core CPU and configure the virtual machines with 4 vCPUs you may soon face questions. However, if you configure the VM with 1 vCPU (or maybe two for individual virtual machines), it would be possible to run 10 virtual machines or more without problems. Everything that you, remember that the host must also some resources.

    Questions 1)

    Not because the LRDATA file is fair previews, what LR displays on your screen for a faster loading of the image and will be recreated. The previews only stored in the folder LRDATA is the basic overview created at time of importation for the display of thumbnails and previews of 1:1 for images that you have actually looked in the Loupe View or I guess that appears in the develop module.

    He get all the data to create the image themselves file extracts.

    If you have several files on your system that have pictures in them and you select one of them that you have not looked at in a while, you will notice LR creation of previews for these images, there will be 3 white dots in the upper right corner of the thumbnail. It's LR creation of previews for the thumbnail view. If you scroll quickly in the grid view, you'll notice a few thumbnails of images are gray, until you stop scrolling, then the upper left tile will come in clear view and the white dots will appear on the other images. It's LR creating previews for those of other images. Once LR created the preview of thumbnails that are on your screen, white spot will disappear. If you scroll down again, you will see more white dots

    If you switch to another folder that LR begins again create preview images in this folder. The total number of previews created and stored based on caching of the preview you have in the catalog settings dialog in the management of the files tab.

    If not, you need not the LR Previews.lrdata folder. Whenever LR is not very good this folder with a catalog he recreates it to store previews in.

  • New host ESXi 5.1 in DMZ - cannot connect through vCenter Client or web, but can via SSH, if I have activated

    We have a simple DMZ where I set up a host running ESXi 5.1. I have another windows server in the DMZ subnet and I can load the new ESXi her host's web site. From my PC in our LAN I can not pull the top web interface 5.1 ESXi or connect via vSphere Client. If I enable SSH on the new host, can I use Putty to connect to the new host ESXi from my PC in LAN. I watched the event logs in our firewall and nothing seems to be blocked. I guess that the problem is related to a value or a firewall setting in ESXi 5.1 but I don't know. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    -Kevin

    Just a thought. Why don't run you the ESXi host in your internal network management and only virtual machines in the DMZ? Would make the ESXi host management even more secure, and you wouldn't have to open Firewall ports.

  • Why set up new phone replaces old backup

    I'm really confused about the 'proper' method to restore the backup to the new phone.

    • iPhone 6 is damaged
    • buy iphone 5 and plug it into itunes
    • try to restore the backup (Aug6) to the iphone 5
    • error message - iphone5 needs updates. said to set up as a new phone.
    • set up as a new phone and create backup (Aug8) OVERWRITING backup (Aug6)!

    So I have a useless backup.

    (1) how could I have done this correctly?

    (2) why is it only 1 backup! Should not be several proofs of dates for backups? I see a lot to choose from, but they are all very old backups... what happened to that Aug6?

    Frustrated and confused

    There should be a backup for the old iPhone and the new iPhone that you just set up as new.

    The new iPhone you just configure would not overwrite the old backup iPhone.

    Don't you see the last backup of the old iPhone?

  • New host ESXi licensing

    Hi guys,.

    I am currently working on a workflow for the provision of new hosts ESXi from scratch. Unfortunately, I glued on the new VMWare licensing to a host. I wanted to do this with a script element:

    Entry:

    Host (VC: HostSystem)

    License (String)

    Code:

    Host.configManager. licenseManager. licenseAssignmentManager.updateAssignedLicense (Host.id, license, null);

    Unfortunately, this returns an error indicating licenseManager is null.

    Anyone know how to set the new licenseManager on the host or license in another way?

    Thank you

    Kamil

    OK, I got it myself. Instead of approaching licenseManager thanks Host.configManager I used instead of the VC:SdkConnection variable.

    Entry:

    Host (VC:HostSystem)

    SDK (VC:SdkConnection)

    LicenseKey (String)

    Code:

    SDK.licenseManager.licenseAssignmentManager.updateAssignedLicense (Host.id, LicenseKey, null);

    This works perfectly!

    > This should be easy, but the parameters of the method are "e: Event" I was not able to do 'setLabel()' or ' setLabel (e: Event).

    If you want to call a method without going to the event - add a null default value to the parameter as follows:

    private void setLabel(e:Event_=_null):void

    Then you can just make setLabel() and the compiler won't complain. And you can't do setLabel(e:Event) for a call, that makes no sense. You would need to make a new event to happen: setLabel (new Event ("someEventString")) but unless you have a specific reason to pass the event, the method is easier.

  • Question about the new facility ESXi 5

    Hi all

    Recently, I installed VMware vSphere with operations management on our server. I also registered this product and I get an email notification for 60 day trial.

    AFAIK the ESXi is a free version, what arrived on my virtual machine after the 60 day trial period?

    Do I have to install another version of ESXi?

    Thank you in advance,

    Kostas

    This is because your vCenter Operations Manager Suite series is not intended to an esxi host.

    The key you have done was proved for another product, the Operations Manager vCenter, who must be deployed as a virtual appliance on the esxi host.

    For the esxi host, you will need to register on the site I linked. You will then get a serial number for license free esxi, which is not an evaluation, so it will not be displayed under 'my assessments.

  • New iMac, Time Machine backup

    I'm moving to a new iMac. On the new iMac, I can't use the Time Machine backup of old Mac. I "removed" the time of the old iMac Machine. Every time I try a backup on the new iMac, I get a "backup failed" the Time Machine backup is already in use. »

    He is a former...

    TM must control the sparsebundle to the backup... He must disassemble at the end of the backup cycle... and back at the beginning of the next cycle... I assume you are using a TC.

    The solution is to disassemble the TM properly... or to put it in simple terms... Restart the TC.

    I highly recommend not to inherit the old backup... but start a new... If the drive is not large enough we can make suggestions on get more space or recovering from it.

    Hi Ken Dunn,

    Welcome to Windows 7 Community Forums

    Basic disks and dynamic disks are of two types of hard disk configurations in Windows. Most personal computers are configured as basic disks, which are the simplest to manage. Advanced users and it professionals can make use of dynamic disks, which use multiple hard drives in a computer to manage data, usually to improve performance or reliability.

    For more information, see the link below:

    What are the basic disks and dynamic? :

    create and format a hard disk partition:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-SG/Windows-Vista/create-and-format-a-hard-disk-partition

    I hopeYou have followed all the steps to shrink a partition correctly but, you encounter a problem, carry out the task. You can go ahead and try the following steps to reduce a volume.

    1. open the Control Panel (all items view)and click the Administrative Tools icon. then close the Control Panel window.

    2 in administrative tools, click computer management , and then close the Administrative Tools window.

    3 in the left pane under storage, click disk management.

    4 in the center pane, right-click the partition that you want to shrink and click on Decrease of Volume.

    5 type in how many MB (1 GB = 1024 MB) of space to show available reduction you want to reduce the partition or volume by to use for the new unallocated space, and then click the minimize button.

    6 the partition selected (step 4) has now shrunk to create a new empty unallocated space. You can use this new space unallocated to create a new partition with.

    7 close the computer management window.

    To create a new partition:

    1. you must first to reduce a partition or a volume create an unallocated partition to use to create the new partition or volume with.

    2. open the Control Panel (all items view)and click the Administrative Tools icon. then close the Control Panel window.

    3 in administrative tools, click computer management , and then close the Administrative Tools window.

    4 in the left pane under storage, click disk management.

    5 in the center pane, right-click on the volume or unallocated partition empty and click on New Simple Volume. (See screenshot above)

    6 click on the Next button

    7 type in how many MB (1 GB = 1024 MB) you want to use from the unallocated partition to create the new partition, and then click the Next button. (See screenshot below)

    NOTE: If you want to use all of the unallocated partition to create the new partition, and then enter all the maximum specified for the partition unallocated disk space. If you use any of the maximum disk space, you can use the left in the unallocted partition space to create another partition with.

    Select an available drive letter you want to assign to the new partition in the computer, and then click the Next button.

    9 enter a volume label name that you want for the new partition, check the perform a quick format , and click on the Next button

    Click on the Finish button

    11 the new partition or volume has been created with the space in partition assigned unallocted (step 7).

    12 close the computer management window

     

    Check if you perform the same steps as above and us post if you have any other questions.

    Hope the above information is helpful.
