RS 5 + VC 5 + ESXi 4.1, replication?

Similar Questions

• All replication status went to not active after a break of 15 minutes WAN when changing suppliers WAN layer 2

  Last night we put in service to a new provider of services RE because of the costs.  The bandwidth is the same (50mbps), delivery is the same (transfer ethernet fiber) and the network is the same (same IP systems, our routers and roads, control us essentially end points, as a process of transfer of layer 2 etc...).

  The total duration of this judgment was 15 minutes after the hour.  Since this shift, everything on our network works very well except for vSphere replication.  I have 27 VM in our HQ now stuck in not active or not active: RPO Violation status and I cannot get restarted.

  Each site (HQ & DR) there is a virtual machine called vSphere Replication Management Server and vSphere Server Replication.  All 4 of them have been restarted.  Also the DR VCenter server has been restarted.  I just do not restart the server VCenter HQ at this time.

  Still do not get any progress.  Looking at the graph of the bandwidth of the network responsible for the replication interface, I don't see that the strangled 30mbps constant load, we would normally to indicate replication traffic.

  Any ideas how to start replication again?

  Yes the IP network / subnet remained the same on both sites.  We have fixed this problem by resetting all ESXi servers.  Replication is now working normally.

  While the ESXi server could PING the end points, that they can not communicate on the specific ports used for replication.  The only change to the network we did was a slight modification of routing out of our network HQ made us a jump to a different router for the connection upwards the new Wan service provider.  It seems that another linux-based virtual machine must also be restarted to communicate and collect graphs of SNMP traffic to other sites on the WAN again.  It must be a linux thing to require a restart.

  Anyway, problem solved.

• Save one ESXi (free version) to another

  I have two servers ESXi I want to keep synchronized. Both servers have internal storage. A server is currently in production and contains all VM.   If I have a hardware failure on the production server, I want to switch to the backup server as quickly as possible.

  It seems that the only commercial backup product that supports the free version of ESXi is Veeam Backup.  However, Veeam Backup currently does not support ESXi as a replication target.

  My only option now, I guess, is to back up the production server for the internal storage of the backup server and then do a restore on the backup server, if necessary - correct?  Is ghettoVCB.sh my best option for this?  If so, this will work with the free version of ESXi?

  Thanks for any help.

  One option is to use ghettoVCB, although you'll have to SCP manually backups to your target host, it does not backup on another host. If you have shared storage such as NFS/SAN you can easily keep the two hosts synchronized, but if you're just using local storage, you'll need to script replication between the two once backups have taken place on your source host.

  You should look at setting up a server NFS in this way you shared storage between two hosts

• Compatibility Matrix vs Release Notes - who 'wins '?

  We run vCenter 5.1 U1 with ESXi 5.1 U1 hosts and at one point, I thought would be so deploy vShere replication 5.1.1 for match/being compatible.

  The compatibility matrix has green checkmarks when selecting vSphere replication 5.1.2 with the foregoing.  I know I can't use vSphere replication 5.5.x and that's fine.

  However, the Release Notes for vSphere replication 5.1.2 States the following: "before that vSphere replication upgrade to version 5.1.2 make sure that you have upgraded to vCenter Server 5.1u2.

  So who 'wins '?  Can I go ahead and use my other purely 5.1U1 vCenter and ESXi environment vSphere replication 5.1.2?  The '' correction '' in 5.1.2 to 5.1.1 is minor, so I doubt I give much to just settle for 5.1.1 for my tests/POC, but I wanted to be sure and prefer to use the more recent/more great if I can.  Thank you.

  had it checked. the release notes are NOT correct and will be changed. Go by the matrix of compat. hope that helps.

• Questions of VRA

  Hi people,

  I just have a few questions on the role of the VRA in vSphere replication.  Suppose a typical deployment with the 2 vCenters, each with its own VRA.  Replication is all performed from Site A to Site B (one-way).  Assume the replications are occupied to crank through a full initial synchronization from Site A to Site B.  Issues related to the:

  (1) what is happening to these jobs in the event where a VRA gets turned off?  What happens when the VRAs are under tension then back on?

  (2) what is happening to these jobs if the Source virtual machines being replicated are vMotion for a different ESXi host in the middle of their full synchronization?

  (3) what happens to these jobs or VRA is vMotion for a different ESXi host?  (Specifically, the VRA to Site B, I understand is receiving data and sending to a specific ESXi host, which is then written to the data store appropriate?)

  (4) what happens if all but (1) the ESXi host at Site B are placed in Maintenance Mode and restarted?  (Suppose the last standing ESXi host has full write access to all data stores that contain replicas VR and VRA is running on the last standing ESXi host.)

  My assumption in all cases is that the full initial synchronization continues to turn, not skipping a beat, unbootable and works, quite simply, but I would really like to know if it is or is not the case for the above scenarios.

  Thank you

  Bill

  Hello

  I guess the VRA in your case's vSphere replication device, not the Agent of VR to the source ESXi.

  Replication traffic flows from the Agent of VR (filter discs and others) to the source ESXi server to the secondary site VR.

  (1) if the VR device (or a device of VR additional server) which serves the replication from the secondary site is temporarily stopped, the source host will not be able to send deltas. When you turn on this return, replication continues where it left off.

  (2) as already indicated above - VR is compatible with vMotion and replication continues normally.

  There is a problem with a virtual machine's storage vMotion, if the source ESXi is 5.0 or 5.1 (fixed in ESXi 5.5) which could cause full-sync to happen again. Checksum always will be calculated and only modified blocks will be exchanged.

  (3) the VR machine vMotion or additional server VR device does not affect the continuous replication.

  (4) VR Server uses all available hosts to access a target data store (mounted on them), if the host used currently fails for some reason any.

  Kind regards

• replication between different versions of ESXi vSphere

  Hi all

  Is it possible to use replication between different versions of ESXi vSphere? the scenario is as follows.

  Source site:

  vCenter 6

  RS 6

  Replication Unit 6

  5.5 ESXi

  The target site:

  vCenter 6

  RS 6

  Replication Unit 6

  6 ESXi

  I understand that vCenter, SRM and VRA must match and vSphere replication 6 is compatible with ESXi 5 upwards and it is the vSphere host in the source location that replicates on the VRA rather than a host of ESXi target so it should work, but I wanted a certain Yes/No.

  Thank you

  Definite yes.

  Hi guys,.
  

  
  

  I'm trying to Storage vMotion/migrate vSphere replication device to different host for ESXi patches. I get the following message
  
  "This entity is managed by VR management solution. It is not recommended to edit it directly. Instead use the GPMC for the solution if you want to make changes. You want to proceed. "
  
  I use vSpere replication without the SRM device. What is the best approach to upgrade ESXi host where there is replication Appliacce. Should I just stop then move the unit, or is it possible to move it while it is running?

  
  

  Kind regards

  Hello

  Moving the unit via the technology Vmware is perfectly fine.

  The message/warning you receive is just to warn you that this VM is a critic and you must be careful. The same message if you invoke the power out of this machine.

• Reference Dell EQL PS4100xv problem with MS SQL replication

  Hello

  I have a Dell PowerEdge server R420 connected to an EQL. Is installed ESXi 5.1 U1 (free version). It is only a data store.

  VM is running Windows 2008 R2 STD with MS SQL 2008 R2 STD. The change in size of database per day is around 2 to 3 MB of base on my daily full backups via the MS SQL backup.

  However, when I throw a replication session between my EQL PROD and DR EQL which size of delta is ranging from 1 GB to 50 GB every time that I run a replication? Interval is about 5 to 10 minutes. I tried 20 minutes also the size to replicate is erratic.

  Why is so huge its more than 1000 MB per replication.

  Hope someone can help me with that.

  Thank you

  Paul

  Re: Storage Direct.  Yes, if you configure these volumes SQL replication, only the changed data will be included.  Only VM will see to all the files in the data store.   However, you still want to replicate your VMFS, but not as often as SQL datastore.

  Re: optimize.  Article I included has the registry setting you need.  This works for all storage formatted to NTFS.

  In addition, when you format the SQL data / log volumes, has the NTFS 64 K cluster size.   The default value is usually 4 or 8 K.  This will align all the writings and readings on the 64K of distribution of the EQL table size.   This improves performance of I/o.

• Error replication of question-

  Hello

  It is my first Thread in this Forum.

  We have a problem in our ad. Let me first give an overview of the environment.

  2 No. Ms in the forest. It reproduces with the other.

  The two DC are VM on the VMware ESXi VSphare host.

  previously, there was a DNS issue... each entry got removed both the domain controller. We have restored elementary school 2 months saved VM made by HP Server.

  We again synchronized DNS secondary to primary domain controller. Its fine...

  After some time, replication has been stopped.

  We digonised and found that the event below...

  *************************************

  Journal name: Directory Service
  Source: Microsoft-Windows-ActiveDirectory_DomainService
  Date: 12/03/2015-11:14:23
  Event ID: 1988
  Task category: replication
  Level: error
  Keywords: Classic
  User: ANONYMOUS logon
  Computer: xxx - Primary.xxxxxxx .net
  Description:
  The replication of Active Directory Domain Services encountered the existence of objects in the next partition that were removed from the base of the Active Directory Domain Services to local domain controllers.  Not all direct or transitive replication partners replicated in the deletion before the number of life tombstone of days past.  Objects that have been deleted and garbage collected from a partition of the Active Directory Domain Services, but still exist in the partition writable to other domain controllers in the same domain, or read-only global catalog partitions, servers in other domains in the forest are known as "objects pending."
   
   
  Source domain controller:
  52C 29991-6165-4537-ac08 - 2726ce4e0dec._msdcs.xxxxx .net
  Object:
  DC = DR1380056, DC is xxxxxxx .net, CN = MicrosoftDNS, DC = DomainDNSZones, DC = xxxxxx, DC = net
  The GUID of the object:
  dc448323-f444-4D52-acc4-cf2ea252c7fe this event is currently logged because the source domain controller contains a waiting object which does not exist on the database of the local Active Directory Domain Services domain controllers.  This replication attempt was blocked.
   
  The best solution to this problem is to identify and remove all the outstanding objects in the forest.

  *****************************************

  I used the registry change and the replication mode does drop... less secure replication...

  HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NTDS\Parameters
  Replication consistency strict = 0

  Its was fine... for a while...

  Our sys admin are reset some user password and a security update...

  Still the same problem...

  I did the loss of control of thing turn it off replication by using the repadmin command.

  nothing has worked...

  Inbetween goes for changed everything in the registry... I did a snapshot of the VM on both the virtual machine...

  Now I restore snapshot in VM virtual machine in VMware...

  now, the question raised...

  1. I'm opening DNS/ad users and computers / other secondary domain controller the PDC console has not been added... give a stop icon but canable to see the secondary domain controller.

  2. I executed the "repadmin /showrepl / verbose/all/cross"here is the output.

• vSphere replication: can it be used with Hyper-V?

  I have a use case where I would like to migrate virtual servers (largely 2008R2) Hyper-V hosts to 5.5 ESXi hosts.  I know I could use vCenter Converter to do this in a procedure in 2 steps, or Zerto in a simpler process, but I was wondering if vSphere replication can be used.  I have not seen anything which seems to indicate that it can be used, but I thought I'd ask anyway.  Thanks for any input.

  Unfortunately, I do not see how it would be possible.

  Zerto / VMware Converter would be your best options

• update a single ESXi host

  I have a recovery with a host site (run by a unit of vCenter and windows PSC) which is the site of recovery in a SRM deployment, and it also runs an AD domain controller and replication of vSphere. In addition, of course potentially VMs that can be recovered.

  But - I do not know how I will apply the updates to this host? I have no physical box outside the host ESXi itself. I have a VPN to connect with a laptop computer remotely or whatever.

  What is the best way to update this host? Things are complicated a bit also because the host has a HP async SAS controller driver (thus, the appropriate driver is NOT included in the usual VMware update packages). In a cluster of stream environment, it's simple, of course - add in a CVS repository, create a baseline that includes the drivers updated to HP, and then set the host mode maint and clean up. Maybe do it twice to catch the updated HP drivers.

  But - how the hell is this fact without Update Manager and another host?

  If you have any kind of IPMI (ILO since it's HP) draw a HP brand ESXi ISO in there and update that way. After that, you can download kits locally using SSH or the browser to store data and run the beams offline against the host.

• Replication between Vcenter linked mode extended

  KIM I am messing with vcenter enhanced link mode. So I have two vcenters shares a PSC external and they are in enhanced binding mode. The problem is when I install my first unit of replication that it installs as MGT. When I install the unit on the second Vcenter he also installs a server. Can't have a primary site and Dr. in enhanced binding mode and use the replication of vSphere?

  Hello

  For the problematic device of VR, you can check the contents of the /opt/vmware/etc/vami/ovfEnv.xml file?

  Normally it is property of deployment_scenario is this file and it is what determines how the device should behave - like handset (embedded DB + server VRMS + VR) or VR-server only.

  If the file ovfEnv.xml is empty, please check that the device has been deployed and powered through vCenter. If the device is powered through ESXi, the environment of the FVO will be empty and VRMS will not work. It is covered in the section of the admin guide.

  If the ovfEnv.xml is not empty, maybe you should file an SR and have the VMware support team assist.

  Kind regards

  Martin
