• Migration of a virtual machine or a new physical box vCenter?

  Recently, I renewed my license for ESX 3.x for vSphere license keys.  I am now looking to upgrade my hosts of ESX 3.5 u5 to vSphere.  The vCenter esx 3.5 database is hosted on a physical SQL 2000 Server.  I bought the license for MS SQL 2005, but I don't want to do a upgrade inplace on the area physical virtual Center for many reasons that are not part of this community.  So now that I'm at a crossroads, set up a new virtual machine on the esx 3.5 existing hosts for installing vCenter and SQL 2005 to restore the existing database of vc to?  Or should I look to buy a new physical server to dedicate to vCenter and the database to MS SQL 2005 to vCenter?

  In my environment, I have 3 ESX host running on the blades with a total of 10 VM operation.  In the future, I'm looking to virtualize a couple of SQL boxes once I get running vSphere.  If you were me what would you do with vCenter?

  like saying it will "eat your own dog food".

  For us, we have 9 instances of vCenter and all run as a virtual machine, with the exception of 3. When that get-enviornment upgrade vSphere4, vCenter Server VM.

  This facility is fully supported and works a lot.  In addition, you will receive HA/DRS.  I would say affecting your restart your VM vCenter high priority.

• Import the Virtual Machine Notes to new vCenter 5.1

  Is there a way to import the Virtual Machine Notes to a new vCenter attribute? I am able to export notes to help

  $vm = get - VM | Select Name, Notes

  $vm | Export-csv notes.csv

  but cannot find a way to import...

  Thanks Andy

  Hi Andy,.

  to import the attribute information about the virtual machine in a new vCenter server, you can use the following script PowerCLI:

  Import-CSV -Path Notes.csv |
  ForEach-Object {
    Get-VM $_.Name |
    Set-VM -Notes $_.Notes -Confirm:$false
  }
  

• What is the best way to backup of virtual machines on a standalone ESX with the data store local

  Hello

  I want to save the virtual machines on a host ESX autonomous. and all of these virtual machines is the local data store.  What is the best way to save these virtual machines in this situation?

  And probably we don't provision VTL on the local data center, so it is possible to use VCB to backup? And VCB is a good choice compared to the traditional method that installs the backup client in each virtual machine?   Because I think that in this situation with the data store local, it cannot not reduced the load on ESX hosts and network overhead can be avoided.

  Thank you!

  > 1. VCB usable remote tape library? I mean it's not local library and uses the tape library to another network data center.

  VCB is completely unrelated to the tape library, it is a framework, not a backup solution. If your standard backup software can work with the remote tape library you can try it to ungrateful with VCB.

  > 2. what the difference bwteen hot - added NBD and modes if there is that an ESX host with store data local and want to use a virtual machine like VCB proxy? I think that they are the same: the VCB proxy read data through the I/O of the ESX host stack in this situation.

  NBD works on network and the backup traffic goes through the service console connection. Hot add uses special machine for assistance to connect vmdk to and uses of e/s disk stack instead of e/s network.

  > 3. Veeam Backup is free software?

  No, it isn't.

  If I move G5 servers all right, move them back it culminates on mem. waited for itself if it settles, but no go.

• VCR: Error-3902 try to restore a virtual machine

  Hi all

  I install VDR and had saved on my test VMs each night. It worked well. I was able to restore the virtual computer and also use (experimental) file-level restore.

  However, this virtual machine was no longer needed so it was deleted in the inventory. I thought, then, do a test and try and restore the virtual computer. VDR starts catering, creates the VM and then errors with "badly written files, error-3902 (file error).

  Has anyone seen this error? Restorations were working before I deleted the virtual machine. For now restores only work if the original VM source still exists, which somewhat defeats the purpose of backups if you cannot restore your virtual machine if it is deleted.

  See you soon,.

  Chris

  Please make sure that you are on VDR version 1.0.2.  If you are, please restart the device and retry the operation.

• Migration from the old to the new storage box

  O/s - AIX
  Present Storage - storage IBM XIV
  New storage - HP EVA 8400
  
  We intend to migrate from old storage to the new storage box. Here's the oracle servers.
  storage team and AIX o/s teams will migrate data from the old to the new storage box storage box. (step of migration include - backup of volumes of the o/s and even restore in new storage box).
  
  WHAT SHOULD DO ORACLE DBA, RECOMMEND SO THAT OUR ORACLE DATABASE SHOULD WORK JUST FINE ON THE NEW STORAGE SYSTEM? Please share your entries?
  
  My hypothesis: The o/s team as AIX will be due work migration preferred to be a s/n, we need not do binary oracle / oracle data files will be the same migrate to new storage box as it is. We being ORACLE DBA should simply ensure that we should have our oracle databases registered with us architecture.
  
  All Suggestions, questions are welcome, thank you friends.

  Yet once if administrators can make the local hard drive appear identical to the operating system when the contents of the disc is moved to the new storage unit you should not have to do anything. If the local drive cannot make it appear exactly the same that I would probably want to re - install Oracle and patch then just start my database to the newly built House. The note of Oracle on cloning Oracle Home can present a different option.

  It would be nice if this process has been run on a test server before production, because according to your window, you don't want to build a new House of Oracle after the migration to disk. I would like the House to be brought as part of the file movement or I would create before it is tested and ready.

• Unable to connect to the virtual machine after adding new eSATA drive

  Hello.

  I'm trying to connect my new 2 TB drive in VMWare Workstation. It is connected via eSATA to the host computer, and it works. I added the drive to the desktop as a new "physical disk." But now I can not power the workstation the most.

  (1) when I start the VMWare Workstation it right ask admin (it didn't need before).

  (2) when I turn on the prompt does not charge even the bios. It shows a rear screen with the logo of VMWare for a while and then stop saying: "VMware Workstation cannot connect to the virtual machine. Make sure that you have the rights to run the program and access all directories that it uses and access rights to all directories for temporary files. »

  The host is running Windows 7 x 64. The workstation runs under the standard user account.

  Thank you.

  Hmmm - it's unexpected - works for me here - only difference: I tried with only 1 TB disks.

  You start Workstatiion as an administrator?

• Upgrade virtual Center 2.02 VC 2.5 on the new server. Upgrade ESX 3.02 ESX Server 3.5. and add the new ESX Server.

  Hello

  We are due to upgrade our VMWare environment. ESX 3.02 x servers virtual Center 2.02 and 3.  We have new material on which to install Virtual Center and we are also adding a new ESX Server.

  I read various guides for virtual center upgrade and watched questions on the forum, but can not see everything that relates to the way I thought to do. I want to install Virtual Center 2.5 on the new server and I would refer her to the current virtual cenre database.  Is this supported?

  I then install ESX 3.5 on my new ESX Server and add it to the virtual Center. Then I would start the upgrade / rebuild other servers using VMotion to migrate all VM the next server to be rebuilt on the new server running ESX 3.5.

  Would this work.

  What is the best way to upgrade the virtual center of new material and a new Version?

  Thank you for all the advice that can be offered.

  Kind regards.

  Yes, it is an upgrade that is supported.  Don't forget there will be an upgrade for your DB schema and it may take some time.  Just make sure that you have a good backup of your DB before you start.

  I then install ESX 3.5 on my new ESX Server and add it to the virtual Center. Then I would start the upgrade / rebuild other servers using VMotion to migrate all VM the next server to be rebuilt on the new server running ESX 3.5.

  I agree entirely, I drive rebuild is the way to go.

  Would this work. > What is the best way to upgrade the virtual center of new material and a new Version?

  Upgrade to the current version using the .iso image file.  Don't forget the license server, which is a standalone update and are located in the folder /vpx of the vCenter .iso

  Upgrade path:

  1 vCenter

  2 ESX

  3 VMware Guest Tools

  Thank you for all the advice that can be offered.

  I hope that was a little helpful as well

• Restore the entire ESX Server

  Hello

  I currently have a single ESX Server 3.5 running a cluster of virtual machines, including the vCenter who runs it.  The problem is that I am running out of disk space and want to slap in addition to disks and to rebuild the RAID array.  Since I have no second box to vMotion at how can I do this without having to rebuild my entire esx from scratch Server?

  Is it possible to use some kind of imaging tool that will recognize the VMFS partitions and create an image of the server on a large drive and then restore it to a larger painting afterwards?

  I have no other than VCB backup tools at my disposal.

  Thanks in advance.

• How to restore the new PIN tab older versions of firefox?

  I recently updated my version of Firefox to V.33 and I really don't like the layout of the websites suggested or "pinned". The previous version, I used had only three "pins" to a row with three columns, giving me a total of 9 "pinned" sites This new update gives me many more options, but they are about a quarter of the size of those used in the previous version of Firefox, I had, makes it very difficult for someone (like me) who has poor eyesight to select good 'pine '. I love this browser but this severely affects the way I use it and I would just go back to things I'm used to.

  If someone know everything on how to restore just this one feature I would be extremely grateful if you could share.

  Thank you.

  It is on the page of the new tab (Ctrl + t)? These pages come from your story unless you pinned your own pages here.

  33 Firefox now to spend up to 5 thumbnails. You can reduce the number of thumbnails per row back to 3 by modifying a parameter "behind the scenes", but I'm not sure it will help because the size of the thumbnail is also depends on the available height:

  (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

  (2) in the search above the list box, type or paste newtab and make a pause so that the list is filtered

  (3) double-click the preference browser.newtabpage.columns and change your change of 5 to 3, and then tap OK.

  As an alternative, this helps the page zoom (hold the CTRL and press +)?
