• SRM and the volume of replication

  Hi guys,.

  I have a client who seeks to implement the SRM.

  Available to the virtual machines are as follows:

  • system on vmfs1 VMDK

  • VMDK vmfs2-data

  • Windows swap file on vmfs3

  • VM vswap files vmfs3

  VMFS 1 & 2 are replicated but not 3. They tried to reduce the amount of unwanted changes block replicant.

  Have I reason to say that they would have to replicate vmfs3 (even just once) to allow sucessfully SRM protect virtual machines?

  Has anyone else came across such a configuration?

  Thank you

  Dougie

  You don't need to reproduce your vmfs3 volume.

  Just follow the procedure "avoiding replication of paging files and other transient data" of the SRM administration guide.

  Machine configuration virtual swap sit on no replicated data store is pretty easy, but the swap file configuration is not that simple and requires several steps to be completed for each virtual machine, including cloning VMDK, the VM configuration, operating system setup and configuration of SRM.

• Support the SRM and cost of subscription Question - not technically.

  Hello

  I have a totally technically the question about the Site Recovery Manager. For purposes of budget planning, I need the price for the annual cost of the enterprise SRM SnS and the cost of the SnS of each protected Machine. Unfortunately I found the price list for

  SRM Enterprise (US$ 12375,-) and the cost of the license for each protected Maschine (US$ 495,-) but NOT the cost to the SnS, which is also required.

  Can someone help me?

  THX... Andy

  SnS tends to be 20% of the costs of purchase as a ball park figure, but call your local VMware sales or reseller representative will tell you exactly what is this annual cost.  they are given on a regular basis the list of prices with all the necessary references

• SRM and VCenter on the same server?

  I was just by reading the documentation and I saw that I need to have vCenter in both places in my SRM deployment. Now I'm on a server. SRM and vCenter co-exist on the same server? Is it still a good idea. I don't have a problem with the purchase of another server if I need to.

  I have a follow-up question on the vCenter licenses. Do I need to purchase a second license for the recovering site vCenter?

  -Patrick

  SRM and VCenter can coexist on the same server.  You will see a performance impact when you test your disaster recovery plan.  I think that a lot of achievements have vCenter and SRM on the same server.  If you do not want to take the risk of a performance hit on your vCenter server you might move RS for its own box, but I advise to use a virtual machine instead of another physical server.

  I think that you need a license of vCenter to each site.  If your recovery site hosts only the DR then you can use your existing licenses for ESX.  If your DR will site also its own VM produciton is then you will need full license.

• Expirations of OS heartbeat during the test and effective recovery

  Someone knows how to avoid delays of heartbeat OS from occurring in your disaster recovery plan? It is probably communication between VC and tools. If it fails, which is my case, then my time-out values must be set small enough to reduce my time to test and recovery. As it seems that half the time is spent waiting for the timeout process. If the above is supposed to and you work in a bubble test network so why not make the OS heartbeats only a stage of recovery. Once again I just need clarification on what it is doing. Thanks in advance.

  I guess the first thing to say is that these waiting times are basically fair warnings and errors not so can be ignored in almost all cases but lets face they look not quite especially red errors stand out

  I suspect that you have just updated to ESX/VC U3? If Yes, then I think it was a change made which adjusts the frequency that allows us to check for vmtools heartbeats. This new value now means that SRM reorganization plans miss the first 'check' and have a second chance, then the timeout warning was recorded.

  If the errors are really validator, you can if you wish (insert WARNING here to say this is just my suggestion and not a suggestion of VMware) just edit your config.xml file spend ESX (/ etc/vmware/hostd/config.xml) on your recovery site ESX hosts so that the section of vmsvc looks like this:

  < vmsvc >

  < enabled > true < / enabled >

  < heartbeatDelayInSecs > 40 < / heartbeatDelayInSecs >

  < / vmsvc >

  The value of 40 is just my choice you can use what you want. I think the default previous value was 20 seconds, but which has been modified by ESX U3 code. A feeling people ESX will publish an article about it. Once the change is made just run following command on the service console (or reboot ESX whichever is easier)

  1. service mgmt-vmware restart

  Then run the recovery again, no need to restart VC plan / SRM and this time the plan is complete without hitting VMTools timeout errors/warnings. Note: in your recovery plan you should just be able to have the tools, the time-out values set to their defaults or the old default values of 30 seconds / 300 seconds

• What is the different between firefox "Sync Key" and "key recovery"?

  The problem is: I can't get my data from server. I have my key to 'Sync', and I used it several times before, but now Firefox says its wrong. Are 'sync key' and two 'recovery key' names to a single key or its two different keys?

  There is no difference between tho two names, they both refer to the sync key that is used to encrypt data locally before sending it to the sync server.

  Try creating a new profile as a test to check whether your profile is the source of the problems.

  See "create a profile":

  • https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/Profile-Manager-create-and-remove-Firefox-profiles
  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues

  If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile in the new profile, but make sure not to copy corrupted files.

• HP and the recovery Partition tools

  Hello
  My hard drive has three partitions; The Windows Partition, Partition "HP Recovery" and the score of "HP Tools". However, I NEED to format entirely (write zeros) on repair of defective sector drive. I believe that you cannot fully format a partition, so recovery ones will be deleted too. I intend to copy the data of two partitions on my memory stick and recreate partitions after. But, if I erase the hard drive, which will affect the BIOS HP options? If so, is it possible to restore any way. Or y at - it an easier way to do this?

  Again, during a support request, please provide the model name and product number complete (p/n) of the HP computer in question.

  Recovery HP (DVD or USB) media will recreate all the partitions as the day that the computer was made. There is no option to re-create only this partition or only this score... it's a process all or nothing. By using this media returns the computer to a factory State... OS, drivers, software, HP Recovery, HP tools, etc.

  If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

• Satellite C650 - error reading disk and the recovery disk does not work

  Hello

  I have a toshiba Satellite C650, who has recently developed with a disc read error. I want to access the command prompt to try some possible solutions I've read on the internet.

  I made a Windows 7 recovery disk using my other acer laptop which has also installed Windows 7 64-bit. When I use the recovery disk and it loaded the files etc it evokes just a black screen and the cursor.

  Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening?
  I tried to start my computer acer laptop from the recovery disk and it worked fine.

  As is - this does anyone have suggestions as to why I get the message "disk read error - press ctrl, alt and delete to restart?

  Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

  On this virtual path, it is not easy to offer the exact diagnosis, but of course, there must be a problem with the HARD drive. Can you get a second one for test purposes and exchange it. Just to be sure if the HDD is troublemaker.

  But there is something else:
  > I made a Windows 7 recovery disk using my other computer acer laptop...
  Sorry, but I don t understand this. Can you please explain what you did exactly?

• The difference between relief Win8 and HP Recovery Manager disks?

  Hello

  I'm going to save my brand-new Win8 ENVY 15-j022el and I was wondering what would be the best solution.

  (1) is there a difference between the repair disks created with Windows 7 native file recovery tool and discs created with HP Recovery Manager?

  (2) in addition to the disc repair, can I make a backup of the recovery Partition too? I guess this is possible with the Backup of Win8 tool.

  (3) more a curiosity than a real problem, but... Although I know, the Recovery partition can be used by pressing F11 or F12 key during startup.

  There is another use of which can justify 20 GB backup size?

  Hope my questions make sense to you.

  Each piece of advice on this would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  Best regards.

  Stef

  Stef,

  According to your previous posts, it seems your computer is a laptop of HP ENVY 15-j022el and the document suitable for creating recovery USB media is creating a recovery disk Image or save a recovery Image on a Flash drive (Windows 8).

• After installing the new hard drive and using recovery discs, I get this message could not start because the following file is m issing or damaged system32\drivers\pci.sys

  I just replaced my hard drive with a new because the other HD said imminent failure or something like that! Basically the hard drive was about to fail and I so now the new one installed and I used my recovery disks and all seemed well until the recovery disks have been completed and the computer says to get out them. Then the computer restarted several times and then I get this message:
  Windows cannot start because missing or corrupt the system 32\drivers\pci.sys
  Then he said: "you can try to repair this file by starting windows setup using the original configuration of the CD-ROM.
  Select 'R' in the first screen to start repair.
  one of the many questions I have is that CD-ROMs are talking? It is the recovery disk, they want me to or what? also if you know a CV or another page which includes help on this specific topic would also help! Thank you
  also, I can still use the old drive hard when it is installed on my laptop!

  Hello panjok2,

  Sometimes recovery CD are dependent on the architecture of a hard drive.  If it is different from the original disc, then we have problems.

  In this case, the best thing you could do is contact HP and see if this is the case.  If it is not why this happens, they should be able to help you as well because they are the ultimate authority on their recovery process.

  Let us know if you have any questions.

• Help to remove the partition on a hard drive and data recovery

  I have two hard drives in my PC, the C: drive is 80 GB, and the F: drive is 120 GB.  The second drive (120 GB) is divided into two partitions.  I just deleted the partitions and makes the hard drive again in a single disc, however I had some important files on the F: drive that I thought I had copied to the C: drive but they are not there.  Is there anyway that is using the software I can return the drive to two drives and recover my data, please help

  Hello

  First of all, do not use the hard drive. This can make things sunk. A few things may already be unrecoverable. I would even delete the drive letter to stop inadvertently automated processes to use.

  There are two ways I can think of.

  1. buy a partitioning software disk that supports the undelete partition. On windows XP PartitionMagic was a very good product if symantec will still sell it. Given that Symantec has continued to develop, I had to switch to product partition Paragon. Sound was trash to some things, cloning in particular a double boot with loads of partitions - it has an undelete function which I didn't use. The fact that you have created a new partition could mean that the restoration may not work. You may need to delete the current, probably empty, partition everything first and then perform the restoration.

  2. buy a data recovery software that will scan the hard drives, including the unpartitioned space. I chose R-Studio and it was very good stuff even recovery from hard drives that fail. It was not 100% effective, but it is perhaps down to the severity of failure rather than the product. In situations like yours, it was very effective.

  Please mark this as useful or response if applicable.

• Need your Help_Reformat diskless resettlement and the recovery partition deleted

  Hello.

  Please kindly help me to reformat my laptop G4 2014. Unfortunately I have no recovery disk and my recovery partition is already deleted.

  Thanks in advance for the help that you can give her.

  Just as I said, the web document, I provided the link for you to give options that are available to you.

  You or someone else with access to your laptop made some decisions aware, perhaps unfortunate not to create a recovery media and removal of the recovery partition.

  These decisions lead to choices that can be found on the web document that I you provided a link to.  An alternative is to buy a DVD of installation of Microsoft in the operating system of your choice.
