replication of vSphere / vCenter + 2 SIN One

Dear,

I have today of 60 days to test my lab environment.

I'm under 1 vCenter 5.5, 2 X ESXi 5.5 and 2 NAS (FreeNAS and Nas4Free) on NFS.

To be brief, I want to replicate all my (s) VM from NAS1 to NAS2... Using my NAS2 as 'backup '.

But it seems that I am not able to configure replication vSphere with vCenter only... Can you confirm?

I tried to map a bit by installing a second vCenter (device)... Is this a good idea?

Is it still possible?

Thx for your advice...

Thierry

Assuming you are using vCenter Setup, then you need not to connect to your site with another site of target. In one configuration, your site is like - a source and a target for replication.  If you have configured everything properly, you can right click on a virtual machine and configure it for replication pointing to the same site to the target site, but by placing the virtual files in the datastore NAS2 nfs (the one that you want to store your replicated files).

  • Go with SRM or replication of VSphere

    Hi all

    I'm looking for a review here.

    In our current environment, 600 more VM is get replicated to disaster recovery site using third-party replication tool. As we intend to upgrade our whole environment to vSphere 5.1, we intend to use the replication of vSphere. We do not plan to use SRM at this point.

    We have two Vcenters, one for the env Prod and other for Dr. approx. We have our replication go on a dedicated channel for OC / 24.

    We are not woried about the Automation and do not come back to this point, MRS is not a choice at this point.

    Questions.

    1. with the limitation of 500 rehearsals (employment) for the unit of replication VSphere, ho we satisfy our need of 600 replications?

    2. can we use vSphere several devices of replication on each site (by vcenter) without using SRM?

    3. If it says 500 is the maximum supported, loads of work how I can configure on device for proper operation.

    4. should I consider SRM in this stadium? If yes why?

    Appreciate your help in this regard.

    Thank you

    Dembélé

    I see, but I guess that at least for a start and a conecpt evidence of the use of VR, a single VRS is enough. In addition, you can always high-end to SRM later and get better performance with the deployment of new technologies...

  • Qual a difference between vmware vsphere, vcenter, workstation?

    OLA pessoal,

    Nunca trabalhei e com VMWare estou com doubt no deferred than tools vsphere, vcenter, workstation.

    Preciso testar uma Solução virtualizacao. Vou rodar dentro Windows 10, where seja, NAO preciso UM hypervisor rodando no como Hyper-V server hardware.

    So one size rodando no Windows para testar Doi servidores com some specific management.

    Me cadastrei no site da VMWare para testar a versão trial, mas não sei qual software download.

    ATT, Fabio

    Para sua need you can use o VMware Workstation or VMware Player o.

    Sober as diferencas, o VMware Workstation e uma Solução virtualizacao type-2, or seja, roda em cima of some system operational, alem do VMware Workstation we have outros exemplos como o VirtualBox e o Microsoft VirtualPC antigo.

    JA o VMware vSphere, ESXi e uma Solução virtualizacao do Tipo-1, or seja, roda diretamente em cima material, e por isso some vezes e re-usable chamado, e alem vSphere, ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V and Citrix XenServer o o we have.

    Por ultimo, o VMware vCenter Server nada but as UM software para os servidores com VMware vSphere, ESXi gerencia.

  • Are thinking of duplication of table to the replication of Vsphere, a quick question

    We currently use Array replication and plan to use the replication of vsphere for flexibility. Unfortunately, we have more than 500 virtual machines to protect - but it is another question and I hope MRS. deploy several devices that will help.

    I can't determine which network interface, the replication traffic goes on:

    1 Hypervizor ports between the ESX hosts (which are 1Gbit in my case) where VMS are?

    2. pushed through vcenter somehow?

    3 Vlan than VR devices are connected to the?

    I have a 10 Gbps link between sites, trying to find how to use more than 1 GB, because the 3 options above are 1Gbit. Although the unit sat on a group of ports that is supported by the host ESX 10Gbit links - but I guess that the only real device of a 1Gbit NIC adapter.

    Hello

    Replication traffic is going:

    1 VR source ESXi server at the remote site via custom protocol LWD (light-weight-delta) TCP ports 31031 and 44046.

    2. outside in VR server via port 902 device and Protocol NFC ESXi host target, then the target data store.

    Separate NICS for VR (isolation of network traffic) replication traffic - to GDL from source ESXi to GDL for server VR application and for inbound replication traffic target ESXi NFC are not available in the current versions, but are part of an RV to come free.

    The VR machine using a NIC vmxnet3

    For the current version, you might want to perform some custom routing/formatting via the ports 31031 (initial full synchronization) and 44046 (all the traffic from replication after the initial synchronization is complete).

    Kind regards

  • RDM & replication of vSphere

    Hi all

    I have to support a migration from one site to the other project and I need to move only computers configured with RDM mode physical model virtual.

    My idea was to use the replication of vSphere and I was wondering if there is an idea on how to do it if possible.

    All tips are welcome,

  • How to make backups without vSphere/vCenter

    We are one of the companies at low prices that only use ESX, cannot get them to buy me vSphere/vCenter again.

    Not much, we have only 8 physical hosts, so I can manage it with the vSphere Client a host at a time.

    Is there a smart way to make level vm backups in my situation?  I can export OVFs manually, or copy the files from the virtual machine to a store in offline mode, but these two need to cull the virtual machine. (you cannot copy or move a machine virtual everything in its place)

    Is there a way (with vCLI or powerCLI) to maybe make a snapshot, move the snapshot offline, and then delete the original... or something like that?

    I'm really just looking for a smart way to make level vm backups that don't require bringning to the bottom of the virtual machine, and that perhaps I could automate with a script so its more of a real-time continuous data protection.

    Already did you look in the scripts of lamw ghettoVCB?

  • What management software is free with ESXi 4.0?  (re: vSphere, vCenter, etc.)

    I'm new and VMware ESXi, but I'm learning and I'd like to better understand the different management products available.

    I installed the free ESXi 4.0, so what software is available?  (free)

    (1) I can't download "vSphere Client" directly from my ESXi host.  Is this different than 'vSphere' from the VMware Web site?

    (2) what is the difference between vSphere and vSphere Remote Command Line Client?

    (3) I have free access to vSphere vCenter?  This is only used to manage multiple ESXi hosts at the same time?

    Thanks much for any help!

    One of the most interesting free tools from VMware is in my view VMware vSphere PowerCLI.

    vSphere 4 is a suite of products. vSphere client is a product of this suite.

    The host update is a utility that allows you to upgrade a vSphere (ESX or ESXi server) from one version to the other host. You don't need this if you start with the last update of the ESXi 4.0 version 2.

  • SRM using the issue of replication VRMS vSphere

    Hi guys,.

    Basically normally when using vsphere replication, if you lose the VRM, then you cannot recover your virtual machines.

    'With the VRMS device in offline mode, it is not possible to recover virtual machines with vSphere replication. There are some items of third person out there that suggest that it is possible to manually change the files to the target location that make up the replica and recover a virtual machine. "While this is possible, I do not recommend relying on this method of recovery, because it's a very manual process and, above all, not supported by VMware "

    vSphere replication device failure and recovery prevention | VMware vSphere Blog - VMware Blogs

    Am I right in thinking that when you use SRM with replication of vsphere, this isn't a problem that you can 'force' recovery with MRS... .where is it always going to be a problem?

    This is a question published iI in Re: 1 primary replication running unit and 1 device running the module

    Cheers for the help guys!

    As Martin mentioned in the other thread, VR (and SRM when using VR) require work VRMS at the location of the target/recovery. To clarify your statement, read: "when using vsphere replication, if you lose the VRMS on the site of your target/recovery , then you cannot recover your virtual machines.

    With MRS is still a problem, but normally if your production site is affected it will not be an impact on VRM on the recovering site you will always be able to recover. Enforcement is where any operation is attempted on a protected site, so it's really for a different use case.

    Does that answer your question?

  • Restore with replication of vSphere

    Hello

    We use SRM 5.1 with replication of vSphere.

    I'm trying to get a rough idea of how long a reprotect operation would take after a failover, especially synchronization of storage.

    The manual says that:


    "The full synchronization that appears especially in the stages of recovery performs control totals, and only a small amount of data is transferred over the network."

    However in my testing this step still seems to take a long time to complete.  For a person of 50 GB, it takes 40 minutes.  My question is: what is the bottleneck here and I can speed things up?

    In a live scenario, I have much larger comments VMs and I fear that a reprotect could take days to synchronize the storage.

    Thank you

    Steve

    The full synchronization bed basically just for the disk data and checksum data. It also makes requests to read the data and return a set of checksums remotely. He would only send the data if the checksums do not match. Thus, assuming that not many disk changed, there is very little except checksum travel over the network. So you will respect especially how fast you can read files vmdk on both sites and to a lesser extent by the latency of the network between the sites, and, of course, if the link between the sites remains upward.

    Check if the link to the sites is good. Get often ignored or not connections are limited somehow? The latency is extremely high, as hundreds of milliseconds? This can slow things down.

    On the source site, make sure that the storage is not overloaded with other work. In the case of NAS/ISCSI, check also that there is no other work of network hogging bandwidth. Sometimes, there are periodic offers on secondary sites, like backups, and that people often forget this can be a lot of resources.

    On the destination site, carry out similar checks and make sure that the server VR is to get a reasonable amount of network and CPU resources.

  • Support for multiple instances of vSphere vCenter

    I installed the demo of (construction 4.4.0 - EE #1509 - July 28, 2010 - Release Build) Hyperic 4.4 company Web site to test the support of monitoring VMware vSphere 4.0.

    I have installed an agent Win32 on W2003 server which hosts the 4.0U2 of vSphere vCenter server and configured it. Once resources have been configured, I edited the VMware vCenter resource to add a user/password valid and after a short while the ESXi host servers and virtual machines appeared in the vSphere browse/HQ screen. Everything works well.

    I then tried to add a different vCenter server with its own ESXi host servers (with a new agent installed on W2003 this server) and that's where the problem starts. After that I added the name of user and password in the detail of the vCenter inventory, new ESXi and VM guests begin to appear under "recently added". When I go to the screen of vSphere browse/HQ original vCenter disappeared and a mixture of the other vCenter servers host and its own host servers appear under the vCenter newly added.

    I would be able to monitor the 2 different vCenter servers?

    Multiple vcenter instances are supported.  When you configure the resource, be sure to use the IP address of the box instead of the default loop address.  When HQ sees multiple vcenters air-conditioned and come with 127.0.0.1 in the URL of SDK, it blends.  Configuring IP should solve the problem you are experiencing.

    My client is slow VM problems that appear to be disk I/O latency on Hitachi storage 1000. I heard in VMware meetings vCenter 4.0 Update 1 solves these problems... without any explanation as to why.

    Rumor is that "after working all the angles of the slowness of the virtual machine including vmtools hardware version, latency of storage, etc. called VMware support and advised to get vCenter to U1 to solve the 'known problem' VM performance issues." "U1 fact and problem solved.

    It is VMware User meeting and I have no other details.

    Customer did not of U1 and having problems of slowness VM believes may be due to the assets/Hitachi 1000 s and favorite paths questions (known to cause problems). Preferred fixed pathing but questions continue.

    My limited participation in the issue of troubleshooting in the date limit information available now. It is just an issue if 'known problem' exists and is known to be resolved via U1 vCenter or ESX 4.0 U1?
