• 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

  ENABLE_NON_PERSISTENT_NFS = 0

  UNMOUNT_NFS = 1

  SNAPSHOT_TIMEOUT = 15

  EMAIL_LOG = 1

  EMAIL_SERVER = mail. Core.local

  EMAIL_SERVER_PORT = 25

  VM_SNAPSHOT_QUIESCE = 0/1

  Still the same error in VMDK format.

  WM works fine, no damage.

  There is no no snapshot. VM version: 11

  Any ideas?

  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.

• Backup errors with backup of thin provisioned disks on ESXi 5.1

  Hello

  I try to set up a backup solution for two servers in ESXi 5.1. (free version).

  I have installed and configured the ghettoVCB successfully and everything seems to be ok.

  However, when I start to create a backup, the process would end with an error :-(

  It didn't matter if the server is enabled or disabled, I get the same result.

  All data warehouses are local, 2 x free WD500GB with plenty of space.

  There is no snapshot, anything that could (in my eyes) prevent a good backup.

  The server works perfectly, when turned on.

  I'd appreciate any useful comment. Thanks in advance! The log is attached.

  This is not correct.  Depending on your position, you've got to 66%, until he ended with an error.

  I have the same problem. In my case, I make a virtual disk full and mount it with Server 2003 for project a NFS volume.  I use GhettoVCB, as you do.  It uses the standard vkmfstools in the script to make the clone/backup.  I have proven that the problem also occurs when you use the command line vkmfstools.  GhettoVCB has the bad habit of you cache the error code.  The error code is he ran out of disk space, which we both did not happen.  Once the problem occurs, the only way I could fix is to delete the virtual disk and start over, however, the problem will come back.  The problem didn't surface until what I moved to ESXi 4.0 5.1 on the servers.  Through this process, the hardware off the VMS version did not change, nor dare, because I may need to take 5.1 and back to 4.x.

• Sapzio libero su datastore

  Buongiorno a tutti

  have installare a host vshere cui dovro'usare mettere 3 macchine virtuali interno al nuovo

  MI chiedevo quando spazio libero su datastore lasciare

  questo boom in passato ho avuto problemi che mi indicavano spazio insufficente e laconseguente no departure della macchina virtuale per probabili problemi di o di spazio occopato dagli instant swap

  in pratica AVTO esempio a datastore da 1 TB quanto e consigliato libero by extreme work bene keep it all?

  Thanks Alberto

  Ciao,.

  Risposta e 'forward-looking': lo spazio che ti nel by far the vm e partire legato alla configurazione delle vm stessa.

  Ogni vm, oltre I e brain is applichi not reservation ram sulla, crea a large swap ram quanto di file con cui e configurata (questo swap no it entered con quello del operating system comments).

  Quindi, al minimo, devi tenerti libero sul datastore tanto quanto spazio somma her della ram che hai misconfigured kills sulle vm. A questo spazio poi not aggiungerei altro per gli instant eventual che will fly usare.

  Più che quanto spazio libero lasciare because knew a datastore 1 TB, dovresti because spazio quanto ti serve al minimo (brain vm + swap vm) e a partire da quello dimensionare he datastore.

• Elimination vm spazio no liberato

  Ho eliminato delle macchine virtuali da vmware esxi 4. Ho che non e stato lo spazio sul disco liberato noticed. Devo creare delle nuove macchine e virtuali Adesso non ho spazio libero sul disco. Come fare?

• Consigli sul compliant delle Lun

  Salve a tutti,

  nella EMC SAN ho a disposizione due nuovi cestelli di 15 brain in fibra da 400GO da utilizzare per macchine virtuali nel nuovo ambiente sleep 5 ESX.

  -Qual'e scelta migliore in questi casi finished delle performance e dell' use dello storage?

  -E' meglio creare aunt lun piccole o Pocket grew up?

  -E' meglio creare pochi grew datastore con più extended o più datastore con singolo measure?

  -RAID 5 o 10?

  Grazie

  Ciao,.

  TI consiglio di leggere questo articolo http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2011/07/29/vmfs-5-lun-sizing/

  Credo che possa fare al caso tuo.

  Personally cerco di mettere non più di 15 VM per lun, the lun sara given poi della dimensione dalla somma dei VMDK, più lo instant della più UN 20% di spazio libero per gli ram swap.

  UNA volta migrate VM nelle nuove monitoro che lo spazio libero non vada sotto lun what 20%

  CERCO inoltre di con delle lun, by far so che VM performance monitors ARE alte required di Ops / s no insistano lun sulla stessa.

  Ciao

• SAN oppure VSA?

  Ciao,.

  in azienda stiamo affrontando by the prima volta a progetto di virtualizzazione by server of it consolidamento dei.

  Is di una 15 di server per i più disparati usi, nessun carico heavy, microsoft windows 2003 e diversi 2008 che tutto if sono aggiunti nel tempo of base. We have a server exchange 2003 by 100 caselle di posta elettronica (80 GB totali), a couple di SQL2005 per dialogare con e AS400 have quali appoggarci per tutti i ahime ancora che girano tra gli uffici access programs. To 60 users autenticati in fileserver communica... PrintServer per stampanti di 40ina... etc.etc...

  Questi giorni ho stimato che tutti i server, [total spazio - spazio libero], announcement: sistema e dati to 1, 6 to, includes file inutili, doppioni etc...

  Abbiamo pensato come a DELL partner, e poco più di one anno fa sono stati raccolti I dati IOPS / s con DPACK.

  He risultato e stato (com 95%) di 500IOPs I quali devo add UN 20% di crescita degli ultimi 12mesi.

  Quindi posso stimare by stare tranquillo 600IOPs nella spartizione di 40% 60% e read write.

  Devo add che mi'd proved a fattore di crescita per i as mesi e buon at least I as anni 2...

  Infatti tutti i sistemi microsoft will be date: 2012 server, SQL2012, 2013 e introdurro Sharepoint Exchange con servizi vari.

  Not reach around sara nulla di heavy. E che sfrutteranno users he saranno più una typical al sistema.

  So mi sento di dover Winegardner di concepire system di virtualizzazione per essere in grado di at least to work with it 100% to più degli IOPS / s verificati da DPACK... quindi come punto fermo 1200IOPs, 40 %R, 60 %W.

  Ebbene, e stato end here da subito, updated a questo periodo, una soluzione composed di

  2 * Server r.620 etcetc...

  1 * SAN Equallogic PS4200XV 3.5 "- 12 * 600GB 15K.

  2 * 6224 switch

  1 * SIN Marin di backup con veeam

  Licenza essential Plus vmware.

  Bene...

  End da subito ero entusiasta di questa soluzione anche is vedevo nella SAN UN punto delicato.

  All'epoca non conoscevo nulla di IOPS / s e compagnia bella.

  So e ragionando informandomi knew vari forum ho trovato che probabilmente una soluzione più semplice e più economica managed directly by da vmware could VSA appunto essere.

  Quindi per esempio, nello specifico:

  2 * brain con 12 R720XD 3.5 "- 12 * 600GB 15K Server.

  quindi he consueto RAID10 fisico... e sopra vmware VSA.

  (PS: which point it sparirebbe unique failure introduced dalla SAN di cui sopra)
  

  E who... mi fermo e mi rivolgo a Voi, infinitamente più FSE di me... by the way dei consigli e valutazioni in merito.

  Grazie, ansioso di argomentare he seguito.

  Lo spazio netto total sara di 3.6 TB circa, in NFS Datastore diviso da 2 1.8 TB circa.

  The Nic per server must be at least 4.

  The macchina esterna affiliate by he VSA Service of Cluster (quorum).

  Dal preventivo seems to me di understand che Azro delle licenze OEM from VMware.

  Fatti UN preventivo Reed rates da some partner VMware, what risparmiare qualcosina e avresti it VMware supporto e invece di quello Dell.

  Ciao

• VSAN datastore

  Ciao a tutti. Non conosco bene it prodotto in oggetto my ho tried an ambiente di test deployarlo. The configurazione e cosi mia composed:

  3 guests (brain 4 900 GB sas 15 k - 1 disco 200 GB ssd BY HOST)

  I wanted to understand una cosa di base, the configurazione creata use the default storage policy f performed solo UN esclude dai che dalla disco size total available:

  4 x 900 + 200 = 3.8 TB

  3.8 x 3 = 11.4 TB

  Spazio disponibile = 10.5 TB

  He IOC e stato al momento del test di mio fail host UN di lo spazio, ovviamente, e della dimensione dei brain che how diminuito parte dell' host down (spazio disponibile = 6.7 TB), my is lo spazio ditch stato tutto perdevo mia infrastruttura injected.

  ORA vi chiedo come posso fare una political che preveda che lo spazio disponibile sia her somma di solo 2 3 in modo che su host there client no invogliato ad occupare tutto sia?

  Grazie

  Quando consumptions spazio, vedrai che lo spazio libero TR dispersion del doppio di quello actually occupied da una VM, quindi five 7.8 TB di VM not li potrai may mettere a meno di usare una policy no TTF = 0 (che e como a raid0).

  OK, so, although I searched the forums, I somehow stumbled upon this thread that solves the problem.

  After changing the backup forvmfs/volumes/Server/backups directory, it works well. I really think that the default conf file must contain this, or perhaps a little more say in the docs.

• update of VIB: VIBs ignored. Why?

  I'm currently updating "storcli" (using the utility for raid-controller LSI), but for some unknown reason to me, it doesn't:

  ~ # esxcli software update v vib - /vmfs/volumes/backup/LSI/storcli/new/vmware-esx-storcli-1.12.13.vib--no-sig-check

  Result of the installation

  Message: Host is not changed.

  Restart required: false

  VIBs installed:

  VIBs deleted:

  VIBs ignored: esx-LSI_bootbank_vmware-storcli - 1.12.13_1.12.13 - 01

  ~ #

  Why was it skipped VIB and host has not changed? It is already older version installed (vmware-esx-storcli - 1.09.13), but why I can't update?

  Sorry, I can't tell you with certainty that LSI is here. However, according to the Readme in the package, it may be necessary to uninstall the old package before installing a new.

  of the "VMWARE_MN_Readme.txt":

  1 Package VIB installed may be the list by using the command

  "list of vib software esxcli.

  2. the Package VIB can be installed using the command

  "esxcli vib software install - v = vmware-esx - storcli.vib.

  3. the Package VIB can be removed using the command

  "software esxcli vib remove n = vmware-esx - storcli.vib.

• Instant e ESX4.0

  Hello to all,

  VI sewn pole sono in una location a tragica, mi sono imbattuto in una configurazione dove in. knew a server virtuale mi trovo to 50 file vmdk che sono Fanta ad occupare lo spazio su disco... tutto e any instant present dallo Snapshot Manager, Mi dicono che era stato fatto UN delet all my in realtà dei file non era stato nulla cancellato... Ho tried da riga di comandi an e verificare in effetti mi dice che any snapshot presents e... sta di fatto che oltre al main vmdk ho altri 49 collegati folder... Come posso fare per risolvere some dritta avete da consigliarmi?

  Grazie in pre-empted

  Ciao,.

  Tutto forward-looking to ESX 4.0 e pre o post update 2, col secondo procedure e easy Reed to hai pochissimo spazio libero, col previous devi unfortunately con organizzarti e procedere al as UN cloning della VM storage in modo da consolidare I brain.

  VMware ha una guida di Como in fare picture both I casi:

• VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi 5) con ghettoVCB via nfs

  Hello to all,

  Ho da poco started due Server ESXi 5 free nel quale gireranno some virtual machine. Soluzione per I just backup ho scelto con ghettoVCB a montage non oocita di una risorsa che arrived da AIX nfs server.

  He problema che sorto sono e I backup di tempi. In prima battuta I wanted does it save in terms off line (poweroff prima della clonazione) my unfortunately no ho Così tanto tempo disponibile per lasciare spente vm. Ho quindi deciso di passare alla terms snapshot Reed is questo mi obbliga ad usare the ghettoVCB - restore.sh by disco script of it ricreare (corretto vero?).

  I have tempi che ottengo sono i seguenti:

  Come da newspaper sia it vmdk della machine virtual applications (screenshot clonazione o) of the di quello che sono in formato thin-provision! It could essere anche questo un problema?

  Some dritta avete da darmi?

  Grazie 1000

  Absent, gli 85 minuti sono tempo it cui fa tutto Ghetto it backs up, no instant sola.

  Vedi capture instant nell 'activity di vCenter o dell' ESXi, secondo e some lasted.

• E thin provisioned ESX

  Buongiorno a tutti.

  Lo scenario:N.2 esx 4.1 e uno equallogic iscsi storage.

  Originally sulle Lun era misconfigured it thin provisioned, ora, by reasons che e meglio no expose, e stato rimosso... my gli esx data it valore dello spazio previous che no coincide con più the realta.

  Just so it could fare by riallineare i valori?

  Grazie

  Corretto. Lo spazio libero reported storage sara sempre dallo minore di quanto reported VMware (my lo stesso problema if ha anche con Linux o Windows collegati directly iSCSI server).
