• Cannot backup VMs to the NFS server

  Hi all

  really stuck GhettoVCB script configuration to back up virtual machines...

  I only have a single physical hard drive "datastore1" on my 6.0 ESXi host. I also have NFS server:

  
  

  /NFS

  IP address: 192.168.3.200

  First of all, I did a little test: I added this NFS server (file system is ext4) as a new 'teststorage' using vSphere Client storage. When I type in console

  # mkdir/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/somefolder

  # mkdir/vmfs/volumes/teststorage/newfolder

  everyghing is ok. Also:

  # esxcli storage nfs add h 192.168.3.200 v s/nfs/backup - backup

  # mkdir/vmfs/volumes/backup/tesfolder

  Well obviously, everything works. I so disassembled vSphere Client NFS.

  Next step, I tried to configure the script:

  VM_BACKUP_VOLUME = / vmfs/volumes/datastore1/autobackup

  DISK_BACKUP_FORMAT = thin

  VM_BACKUP_ROTATION_COUNT = 1

  POWER_VM_DOWN_BEFORE_BACKUP = 0

  ENABLE_HARD_POWER_OFF = 0

  ITER_TO_WAIT_SHUTDOWN = 3

  POWER_DOWN_TIMEOUT = 5

  ENABLE_COMPRESSION = 0

  VM_SNAPSHOT_MEMORY = 0

  VM_SNAPSHOT_QUIESCE = 0

  ALLOW_VMS_WITH_SNAPSHOTS_TO_BE_BACKEDUP = 1

  NFS_SERVER = 192.168.3.200

  NFS_MOUNT = / backup/nfs

  NFS_VM_BACKUP_DIR = auto save

  Thanks in advance for the help.

  The solution was simple: my notebook + in Windows curled some symbols 'hidden' at the end of the first line, before that I sent this file via WinSCP.

  1. use only vi on your ESXi because different EOL codes (CR + LF/LF). Also don't let useful space and the end of the lines.

  2 set the async on your NFS server instead of synchronization that increases the speed of copy.

  3. place your script of ghettoVCB on your data store. For example: / vmfs/volumes/datastore1

  Hope this helps others.

• For NFS Server backup path

  I'm trying to backup on a NFS server using the script ghettoVCB.sh, but am not sure what I need to put the path.   Here is the snippet of script:

• Enable AAA fails on the second ACS server

  I have 2 servers Windows 2003 4.2 ACS, who authenticate with AD. I have configured authentication GANYMEDE + both for my PIX 515 running version 7.24. GANYMEDE + authentication works fine on both. However, when I use the 'aaa authentication enable console LOCAL ProsperAdminAuth', the enable password only works with the first ACS server. When the first server is unavailable, it fails on the second ACS server and authentication failed on ACS "ACS invalid password" reports. It does not allow the LOCAL password. I checked all the password and there is no problem there. I know that for you, because GANYMEDE auth works. Someone at - he seen elsewhere issue or know what I might try?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Configuration of external database is not replicated between servers ACS so my guess here that is on your ACS secondary if you go to the external-> unknown user policy user databases, you will find that under configure enable password behavior you are on "internal data" instead of "The database which the user profile is required."

• A solution to the "unable to connect to the NFS server" that I can't understand

  (This question is related to the interaction between ESXi and FreeNAS and talk a lot here, but the solution was finally on FreeNAS configuration change, so I hope it's ok that I post in this forum.  It relates to the use of FreeNAS of ESXi).

  I have a FreeNAS system set up specifically for the copy of the virtual machines of my ESXi server as a backup mechanism.  I tried to mount a NFS of FreeNAS disk and ran in a (what appears to be, from discussions on the forum, a common place) problem.  ESXi, during an attempt fix the part gave me the "unable to connect to the NFS server" message.  The search in the log files, I could see some more detail, but nothing that pointed to a solution.  I also searched the logs on the FreeNAS system, nothing helps.

  I was using the IP address of the FreeNAS (static address) system instead of the DNS name when you are trying to reach the storage.

  After hours of trying different methods, creation of username on FreeNAS trying up to ESXi, scouring through all the various points of ESXi config, etc. I am getting nowhere.  Then I came across a post somewhere (not here on the forums, but in a blog somewhere) that said add the ESXi server to the hosts on the FreeNAS system file.

  Once we added - bingo-test.  ESXi logged in straight away and I am running.

  Now, I am trying to determine why the addition of ESXi machine to the FreeNAS hosts file would allow ESXi to connect.  Anyone have any ideas?  The IP address of the ESXi system was already in the allowable range set up in the UI on FreeNAS.

  Thanks in advance.

  Mounting NFS export list process requires the resolution of the customer's name. When a customer initiates the request for an NFS share, server checks its list of export for the requested directory and the name of the customer in this access list for this particular action. Now if the server fails to resolve the name of the initiator denies his request for the mounting of this share. In order to overcome this problem, you must have a dns server in the network, or do you have enter you the names and information of IP address to the server hosts file

• ESXi 4.1 as an NFS server?

  I have several virtual machines on SATA storage space on my server ESXi 4.1.  I would like to support these until my NFS server.  What is the best way to do it?

  Ideally, I would like to start NFS services on the hypervisor, ESXi 4.1, so I can run cron on the NFS server tasks (client in this case or ) and copy virtual machines.

  Is this possible?

  Yes, I know I can install virtual machines directly on the NFS storage and run them from there, but I want the box of VMware to run independent of the NFS server and rely on it for backups.

  Otherwise, can run tasks scheduled on the ESXi 4.1 hypervisor to copy on the NFS server?

  Thank you.

  You can add an NFS share in a data store. Use the configuration tab / storage to add the share. You can use http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-8760 to clone your virtual machine to the NFS data store. It is possible to add the process clone ghettoVCB as a cron job of many references in the DOC.

• Curiosities: what happens if I restart the NFS server?

  Hi guys,.

  I use Linux as a NFS data store. I'm just curious, regularly there as updates of the kernel, etc. that requires a reboot. What happens if I restart the NFS server without:

  1. turn off the virtual machine on it

  2. without disconnecting the ESXi host data store

  What is the proper way to restart the NFS server?

  Thanks ^^

  If you mean 'a good' (without no timeout error appears in the log), then delete NFS datastore is the whole procedure before you restart the NFS server. Unlike datastore VMFS, by removing the NFS datastore, that this will not completely remove the storage at all, instead you only remove it from the ESX host and you can reconnect the NFS mounting even whenever you want.

• ESX host, as well as the NFS server?

  Hi all and thanks in advance for any help.

  I want to know if it is possible to turn essential a LUN on a host in a NFS for another host.

  The vmkernel will allow me to share a hdd connected locally on a host to another host?

  For example.  ESX1 has a 1 TB drive, ESX 2 boasts a record of 400GO.  I want to share the drive between machines as data warehouses.

  The hosts are on the same domain and a fairly typical storage facility.

  I want to leave the VI client manage sharing, but I need a mounting point for training and one for access to hosts.

  Setup NFS on both ESX hosts will cause problems?

  Thanks in advance, once again.

  I really need to know if I can just use NFS on each ESX and run it at the same time as VMware.

  The short answer is no.  ESX was not designed to be an NFS server, should not be.  Thus, there MAY be servers NFS that will work, but they have compiled and built on the ESX host, which is beyond the scope of this thread, so let's say no. NFS on ESX host.

• NFS server as a quest on ESXi Server

  Hi all

  I would like to ask your advice on the subject. I am looking for a

  solution to configure NFS shared storage for 3 ESXi servers. I currently have

  have MD3000i, 3 x DELL 2950, and 2 x DELL 2850.

  My original idea

  was to use 2 x 2850 DELL servers like NFS servers for ESXi on DELL servers

  2950 servers. NFS server cards LUN on the MD3000i iSCSI and

  then sharing of data via NFS. But maybe I could jump DELL 2850 s at all?

  What

  If I configure the NFS servers as quests on each server ESXi, use ESXi

  Software

  initiator iSCSI and NFS servers (or software use raw devices card

  inside of the NFS server - in my case it's CentOS). After these steps, it

  Will be

  no different to have a server stand-alone NFS (configuration).

  Each DELL 2950 has two cards on boar and I intend to install one or two

  dual plus

  ports NICs to increase bandwidth.

  ESXi server will be NFS datastore to map NFS server under

  the same server ESXi and this data store will be used to store all the others

  Virtual machines.

  I intend to have no more than 8 total VMs on each server ESXi.

  In the event of server failure, I can temporary remap an iSCSI LUN

  other NFS server (running on another server ESXi). Data on LUNS

  should be in place it.

  This could be done? I know technically it's possible, but it'll work in production?

  Thank you.

  Hello and welcome to the forums.

  I was very happy with Openfiler running on the 2850 s.  It might be worth checking out.

  Good luck!

• Service NFS server running on an ESXi host.

  I was able to set up successfully with "Services for Unix" NFS server on my Windows 2003 server.  I would now be able to set up an NFS server and NFS client on a pair of ESXi servers. This would allow me to copy the guests of virtual computer through the ESXi host servers using NFS mount points.

  ModusLink Open Channel Solutions, Inc.

  Short answer is that you can give to this.  ESXi doesn't have access to the console, without access to the consoles, that can't do.  Even with Console cannot yet be done, ESX is bare bones but single server, not Linux.

  You don't want to use your ESX Server as a device.  It's a bad habit to enter.  ESX is a VM host, simply.  Not a general-purpose, file sharing / FTP / sharing NFS GNU / Linux.

  If you think NFS, set up a Linux VM on this host, and use it.

  Hello

  If it comes to cluvfy in the program installation you indicating that your devices are not shared, contempt which (if you personally know that they are shared).
  This seems to be an annoying error with cluvfy, the shared disk check only works in specific circumstances...

  To be honest, I never saw him work properly, so I'm testing the devices 'sharedness' always myself (dd in on a node, dd on the other to see the results expected).

  If the error happens however at a date later (root.sh), then the devices are really not shared, or you have a permissions problem.
