Replication between two hosts

I have everyone,

I have two hosts on the same site, in stand-alone mode, but within the same vcenter with licensing standards

Each host has 3 VMS.

Is it possible to replicate virtual machines each other on the same VirtualCenter and without cluster?

Home 1 = VM1 + VM2 + VM3 & [+ VM4 VM5 + VM6 replication]

Host 2 = VM4 VM5 + VM6 & [VM1 + VM2 + VM3 replication]

I have enough drive and it will be very safe to run the replicates in minutes in case of problems with a single host.

Thank you,

Hello

If you are using vSphere 5.1, yes you can use Standalone VMware vSphere replication, since vSphere that replication is included in the standard Lincenes.

  • vMotion between two hosts with different version?


    Hello

    Can I vMotion VM between two hosts with different version? For example, a virtual machine of esxi 6.0 5.5 esxi and esxi esxi 6.0 5.5 vMotion.

    Thank you.

    Yes, it will avoid you to move.

  • Move a virtual machine to turn off between two hosts, shared storage

    Dear Experts,

    Please guide me for the next case. There are two hosts of Esxi, host 1 is Esxi 4.0 and host 2 is Esxi 4.1. There are store data SAN storage that is visible to both hosts.

    I watched solard winds VM monitor utility that hosting 2 consumes 90% of the memory while its processor is ok. On host 1 is normal. So, I want to spend only a few VM of to host 1. So please correct me if what I think are OK. I will turn off the virtual machine to be moved from host 2. Then I it will remove host 2 inventory. Then on host 1, I'll go to the data store in the folder that VM and do a right click on the file 'say add to the inventory' and now I'm going to see this virtual machine in the inventory of the host list, just turn on and everything is perfect, is this correct?

    Second question on the same hosts, there are a few other data stores that are visible to a host. As if this is the case there is a virtual machine on a data store that is visible to host 2 and I want to spend this VM to host 1 to reduce load on host 2. How to move this virtual machine because this data store is not visible to host 1? Will I have to copy this VM files in a data store that is visible to host 1? If YES then what real required to copy files?

    Kindly help me.

    Kind regards

    From your description I m assuming that you use not vCenter to manage your hosts, correct?

    If you have a store of data shared between two hosts you can do the steps you descripte (power off, remove the inventory etc.).

    For your second case there are several ways, it depends on where you want to place the virtual machine in the future. Wouldn't be on the shared data store that already exists or can in the local data store on the other host? Or is there an option to also display the current data store to host 1?

    If you want to copy the VM files copy the whole folder of it.

    Kind regards

  • Replication between two sites with essential Kit more

    Hi all

    can anyone confirm that the following scenario is possible?

    A basic Kit Plus - replication - another essential Kit Plus
    3 Hosts                                                                      Other 3 Hosts

    In other words: is it possible to replicate virtual machines between two sites, each managed by a single essential Kit Plus (outside the bounds of the CV)?

    I'm sure that is correct, but I want to be sure.

    Thank you guys!

    Alex

    Yes, you can use replication between vCenters thus vSphere. To do that you would like to devices VR is deployed to each vCenter and then connect them. How to do this is described in the VR installation and config and administrative documents.

    BTW, my name is GS.

    See you soon!

  • Load balancing and replication between two ESX servers

    This point is covered in another post last month, but I want to assure you that I am

    erase before ordering anything.  We run a VMware

    Server (ESX Server 3.5 Enterprise version).  I have about 12 VM

    running on the server. The server is connected to via fiber channel to

    a Clariion drive Bay.  We backup each virtual computer inside the virtual machine, not outside in

    it.

    I want to buy an additional VMware Server which

    provide redundancy. The second server VMware will also point the

    Bay of same discs (shared storage).  It will store some VM as well.

    What

    I want to do is to have two servers balance between them.

    Also, I want that there return replication while is a server

    Dies, it will be responsible for all virtual machines.

    What I have

    read, we need to use a combination of VMware HA, DRS and VMotion to make

    all it - OK?  I intend to buy another license of the VI3 enterprise as well as a permit for VirtualCenter Foundation.  Finally, if I have company for both servers ESX licenses and

    VirtualCenter, which gives me VMware HA, DRS and VMotion

    capacity?  I appreciate any guidance on this.

    I don't think you can automatically load the balance between the two boxes.   the shared storage ensures guests / VM have the current data available.  No actual replication necessary.

    Just take your Hardest hit of VM and split them between the two hosts.

    On VMotion?  It is much easier to run just a host with a failure to another identical host.    I have not attemptied it in any other way quite a few facilities.   Do you think that your host is running out of gas?   I used to think that as well, but I'm surprised how much any given host can be loaded up without experiencing consitantly performance problems.    If they are windows?  You can check how the VM is performing pretty easy with the Windows performance tools.  All this with low end Iscsi San, I can only imagine how fiber of rocks on the performance.

  • Replication between two servers without direct connecton

    Hi all

    In this case, we have two servers without direct access between them (firewall, security requirements). In fact the two servers are stored in different VPN.
    and the question is:
    Can you build an architecture that will provide replication between them (include the server in downstream, trails in the intermediate machine bank file, or something else)?

    Much love and thanks for your suggestions))

    Hello

    In this case, your downstream server should be able to communicate to your Source and target.

  • Travel/cloning between two hosts ESXI VM

    Hello

    I have two hosts ESXI 4.1 with VSphere Essentials for VCenter license. I'm not able to move the virtual machine to one ESXI host to another (power off). It is not supported with VSphere Essentials license? Data warehouses can be shared between the two ESXI hosts?

    What is the size of your virtual machine, what is the speed of the network and how your local storage looks like? Using RAID? How many disks and RAID level? You have a battery attached to the RAID controller write buffer cache?

    The waiting period does not necessarily mean the tasks does not work. Often it is only a delay in the vCenter Server GUI, but the process is still running and you just need to be patient. You see the files being created on the target data store?

    I have lack of VLAN, how can I edit and update the information of vlan?

    Of UCS Manager? I don't have 1000v.

    Hello

    To add VLANs, you must go to the LAN tab, create them and after that, add them to the vNIC of blades you want to pass traffic for that/those support VLAN.

    You have configured a VLAN in UCSM native?

    The two, ESXi01 ESXi02 & use the same fabric for interconnection to pass traffic?  If a host goes through A traffic and the other through B, traffic will need to visit the switch upstream as cause of tissue switches do not switch traffic between them.

    Try the commands below and paste it here:

    * show circuit of service X Server profile / Y< chassis/server="" in="">

    * Connect nxos one | b< first="" try="" "a"="" then="" "b"="" and="" the="" output="" of="" the="" below="" command="" for="">

  • Communication between two hosts on the host only

    I have a host ESXi 5.5 with two reviews, a Linux / Centos 6.5 comments and a guest Server R2 2012.

    I've muddled through many questions - time zone, being the biggest problem, but am confused on how to get these guests to see one another, not even sure what to put in Google.

    My goal is to be able to share files between the two guests and access their consoles with putty and RDP, but I can't make them one ping to another. Everyone on the LAN can connect these two guests, but they cannot see.

    A kind soul told me that I forgot?

    Thank you

    Hey katycomputersystems,

    Could you give us a quick screenshot of your vSwitch / Port groups.

    Of the IP information you should be able to ping to each of the systems if they are on the same vSwitch / Portgroup / VLAN.

    Try this

    vSwitch0

    VM Network - Port Group - VLAN 110 - physical Nic don't matter we will keep all the VMS on this port group

    Configure all your VMS on the port network of VM group.  As long as all the VM living on the same port group vlan and vSwitch traffic should never leave this vSwitch and each VM must be able to communicate with each other.  If not you can always ping each other take off the VLAN and try again.  Make sure also that you have no firewall or tables ip enabled on the operating systems that could prevent communication.

    Let us know how it goes

  • Having a problem with vmotion between two hosts with processors Intel E5640

    Hi all.

    We organize a group of 14 guests, each with ESX 4.0, build 261974 installed.

    They are managed through vCenter 4.0.0 and construction 258672, vSphere client 4.0.0 builf 258672.

    The hosts are blades from IBM, in a BladecenterH.

    Some of the blades are older model HS21 (type 7995) with processors Intel Xeon E5440.

    The rest of the blades are more recent model HS22V (type 7871) with processors Intel Xeon E5640.

    We are currently replacing old HS21 blades with more the HS22 blades, so we just bought 7 HS22s, all with the same Intel E5640 processors located in the blades currently in service. One of the things that this transition will happen for us is allowing us to have the same processor type in all of our blades and remove vMotion compatibility problems we had in the past. We were unable to turn on CVS, because we would have had to shut down a cluster of virtual machines on the latest hosts and could not take this kind of failure. We will turn VCA after that.

    Here's the question:

    We just installed the first new knives, and when turn on us and try to vMotion VMs to it, it fails. He gives us the error standard vMotion on CPU register incompatibilities, and that we should read kb1993. The thing is, they all have the same processor. Same identifier type, same everything, yet for some reason vCenter is convinced they are incompatible. We checked things in BIOS, and they are all the same.

    We are ideas, other than the new knives have a later rev BIOS than the old ones.

    Any thoughts?

    Thank you!

  • Replication groups two Equallogic

    Hello

    I have two groups equallogic each connected to a separate switch dell, storage and switches from dell that they communicate with each other at all.

    is it possible to configure replication between two of them on IP management? or what is the best practice in this case?

    Hello Dan,.

    No sorry.  Replication can go on the iSCSI network.  The sending group creates and session iSCSI on the site of DR to transfer the data.   You will need to create a route between groups in order to use the EQL replication.

  • IPsec VPN between two routers - mode ESP Transport and Tunnel mode

    Hi experts,

    I have this question about the Transport mode and Tunnel mode for awhile.

    Based on my understanding of 'Transport' mode is not possible because you always original "internal" private in the IP headers or IP addresses. They are always different as public IP on interfaces enabled with Crypto Card addresses. When encapsulated in the VPN tunnel, the internal IP addresses must be included or the remote VPN router won't know where to forward the packet.

    To test, I built a simple GNS3 with three routers laboratory. R1 and R3 are configured as VPN routers and the R2 must simulate Internet.

    My configs are also very basic. The R2 is routing between 1.1.1.0/24 and 2.2.2.0/24. It is defined as the gateway of R1 and R3.

    R1:

    crypto ISAKMP policy 100
    BA aes
    preshared authentication
    Group 2
    ISAKMP crypto key 123456 address 2.2.2.2
    !
    Crypto ipsec transform-set ESP_null null esp esp-sha-hmac
    !
    10 map ipsec-isakmp crypto map
    defined peer 2.2.2.2
    transformation-ESP_null game
    match address VPN

    !

    list of IP - VPN access scope
    ip permit 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255 10.0.0.0 0.0.0.255
    !

    R3:

    crypto ISAKMP policy 100
    BA aes
    preshared authentication
    Group 2
    ISAKMP crypto key 123456 address 1.1.1.2
    !
    !
    Crypto ipsec transform-set ESP_null null esp esp-sha-hmac
    !
    10 map ipsec-isakmp crypto map
    defined peer 1.1.1.2
    transformation-ESP_null game
    match address VPN

    !

    list of IP - VPN access scope
    Licensing ip 10.0.0.0 0.0.0.255 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255

    I configured transform-"null" value, while it will not encrypt the traffic.

    Then I tried the two 'transport' mode and mode "tunnel". I ping a host in the internal network of the R1 to another host in the internal network of the R3. I also tried 'telnet'. I also captured packets and carefully compared in both modes.

    Packets encapsulated in exactly the same way!

    It's just SPI + sequence No. + + padding

    I will attach my screenshots here for you guys to analyze it. I would be grateful for any explanation. I confused maybe just when it comes to the NAT...

    I guess my next step is to check if the two modes to make the difference when the GRE is used.

    Thank you

    Difan

    Hi Difan,

    As you point out the mode of transport is not always applicable (i.e. applicable if IP source and destination is equal to corresnpoding proxy IDs).

    A typical scenario in this mode of transport is used:

    -Encryption between two hosts

    -GRE tunnels

    -L2TP over IPsec

    Even if you set "transport mode" this does not mean that it will be used. IOS routers and I blieve also ASA will perform backup even if the mode of transport is configured but does not apply in tunnel mode.

    I can take a look at your traces to sniff, but all first can you please check if you transport mode on your ipsec security associations? "See the crypto ipsec his" exit you will show the tunnel or transport mode.

    HTH,

    Marcin

  • VMotion on two hosts

    We have two hosts and are currently using the same network/vswitch vmotion and vm management.

    I understand that it is best to separate the network for vmotion management.

    (1) may simply run a straight cable between two hosts?

    (2) should the vmotion switch be in a separate network?

    Based on the number of physical network interface cards in your host, instead of connecting the two hosts directly without switch, allows to isolate the vMotion traffic and management VLAN and given that you're going to use a VLAN different you will need a different subnet (network).

Maybe you are looking for
