The new Cluster of 5.5 ESXi backup solution.

All,

We have built a new Cluster on ESXi 5.5 with 2 servers DL380 G8 (hosts) and a HP Storevirtual 4330 connected via iSCSI to SAN storage. ISCSI all have 4 cards attached to an iSCSI network 1 GB Switch.

The HP Storevirtual 4330 has 7 TB of space but will be 1-1, 5 to virtual machines and the data on it. processors Xeon 2 x 16 and 256 GB of RAM in each host.

There are 10 VMs (2008 R2) server on the cluster.

I also have a G8 DL360 with 5 TB of space on it and an autoloader CF HP 1/8 (I need to make the weekly and monthly strips for compliance requirements).

I have 4 additional network adapters in the present to connect to the iscsi san network if it is an advantage.

All my previous backups were backups on tape, but will have to be different.

I was wondering what is the best solution for me compared to

What types of backups are best (instant storevirtual, POS or software (Backup Exec and VEEAM are my options)

Where to store data backups (SAN or a space on the backup win2008 server)

What kind of backup gives less impact on the performance of the SAN, hosts or VMS running.

Deduplication is assistance in the management of space, if so what should it be set up.

If you use StoreVirtual as the underlying storage, no doubt, then take a look at Veeam that deeply integrates the device said, allowing you to use SAN snapshots during the backup process. This, in turn, considerably improves iterator and reduces the impact of the activities of backup from the production environment.

Apart from him, you can install VB & R on the above mentioned physical server and connect the device to tape it. This deployment will allow you to archive the backup data in the midrange of tape on any basis you want, using special adhesive tape work.

See you soon.

  • RAC 11.2.0.1 to 11.2.0.2 to the new Cluster upgrade with any number of nodes

    I'd like suggestions on upgrading a RAC Oracle 11.2.0.1 in Linux x86_64 RHEL 5.3 with 6 cases of a new cluster with 4 linux x86_64, RHEL 5.5 and upgrading to 11.2.0.2 nodes group of hotfixes.
    New SAN storage will be used. Both systems use ASM.

    Method:
    (1) run controls and upgrades pre scripts
    (2) save the current database with RMAN and put at the disposal of the backup files to the new host
    (3) install grid Infrastcure on the new cluster 11.2.0.2
    (4) set up ASM on the new Cluster

    This method is correct? Do you offer other methods or corrections?

    I also want to know if there is another thing to delete, besides redo threads and undo tablespaces, due to the smaller number of cases.

    I also considered using RMAN DUPLICATE to the same version (11.2.0.1) and then MOVE to 11.2.0.2, but DOUBLE would change the DBID.

    Thank you

    Hello

    your efforts seem valid, but its awfully difficult.

    Why not simply create a watch on 11.2.0.1 and then update.
    If you are using "duplicate for standby" should not change the dbid.

    Then, you can just 'turn on' the night before and continue the upgrade.

  • Problem migrating Vcenter server from the old cluster to the new cluster?

    Hey guys,.

    Just came across this situation, and I don't know what to do. I pass my vcenter server older glomerulus with hosts of esx4.0, to a more recent cluster with hosts of esxi4.1. The material of host machines are different generations, and vmotion don't migrate vcenter because of the cpu sets between cluster mismatch. If I could turn off the virtual machine and migrate it would work, but since it's my vcenter Server I can't do.

    Should I restore it on the new cluster?

    Thanks for the suggestions/tips

    Kevin

    Connect directly to the ESX host using your client vsphere, vCenter vm shutdown, vCenter remove inventory, then go to the new host, browse the data store on the vCenter vm is, and add the vCenter Server inventory.

    This assumes that the same storage is presented to both hosts.  If this isn't the case, you will need to use winscp or something similar to copy the files from the virtual machine.

  • Deployment models for the new cluster - "A" failed to Connect to Host

    Hi all

    I reorganized my ESX 3.5 2 130756 machines in a new cluster (they were already members of another cluster & lt; - this can be an important factor here).  When I try to deploy new virtual machines from templates to the new cluster, almost immediately, the task fails with the error "failed to Connect to Host."  Here's what I did on troubleshooting:

    -I confirm that nothing has changed on the console host IP and DNS service on the ESX host configuration

    -restart services on the ESX host management - tried again, failed.

    -removed and added hosts in cluster - tried again once, didn't

    -disabled DRS on cluster - tried again, failed.

    -confirmed I can deploy templates to other clusters

    -confirmed I can deploy a new virtual machine custom again cluster manually

    -restart the ESX and vCenter server hosts

    -removed ESX cluster hosts and destroys Cluster and file

    -recreated cluster and added guests, same error

    I think I've tried all the basics, but please let me know if you think something else to try.  In the VirtualCenter newspapers, there are the following entries whenever the task fails:

    It seems that the model does not really know where he lives.  I am trying to convert a virtual machine model and try to run a migration on it to a host.

    Otherwise, you may need to remove the inventory model and look for the data store that it is and resave.

    Hi team,

    Have we not document or steps to create the new Cluster and add host to cluster?

    In addition, what are the post configuration that must be done on the ESX host? As switch, Nic, the data store Configuration?

    Should we add the storage front of cluster before adding the host?

    A process document or a step will be really useful.

    For starters, it is User Guide PowerCLI, that comes with the installation of PowerCLI.

    And there are a lot of messages and blog discussions in this community that meet some or all of your questions.

    See for example establishment of data centres, Clusters and adding ESXi host VMware vCenter 5.x with PowerCLI

    Storage is assigned to ESXi hosts and for use in a clustered environment, you will probably want a shared storage.

    Maybe you need to split issues separate, more specific issues.

    This would make it easier to respond in this community.

  • Restore backup files after the new installation of Vista

    I recently had to replace my main hard drive as it has completely crashed and burned.  Fortunately, I thought, I had been diligently backing up to an external hard drive.   So after replaced by a fresh hard drive and a new installation of Vista, I thought I could just restore these files from backup... but no luck.  New Vista does not recognize the old Vista backup.  And it will allow me to migrate these files in any usable fashion.  Is it possible for me to get the new Vista installation to access these backups from the previous installation of Vista?

    Hi Allisonerik,

    (1) what happens when you try to restore?

    (2) you get an error message?

    (3) was it a file, or a backup system image?

    I want to clarify if your backup media (external hard drive) is recognizing in Windows.

    Method 1: Put the computer to boot and then check to see if you can restore

    Follow step 1 in the link below,
    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

    Important: n ' forget not to put the computer to a normal startup follow step 7 in the link.

    Method 2: Check your external hard drive to find errors

    Note: CHKDSK would attempt to recover bad sectors on the hard disk, in the course of this process there are chances of DATA loss from that particular area.

  • Moving cluster in the new data center in virtual Center.

    Hi all

    I want to store my virtual Center layout. To do this, I want to move an existing cluster that exists on another physical site in a newly created in the virtual data center. When I try to move the existing cluster object, I get an error saying "the operation is not supported on the object.

    This does mean that I have to create a cluster and move the hosts one at a time, or is there a way to move the real cluster?

    Thanks in advance.

    You have to re-create the cluster indeed. Logout of the host, and then add the host to the new cluster.

  • How do I add the new database to RAC 10 g 1

    Hello, guys!

    I'll migrage RAC 2 - nodes to a new hardware (virtual machine is), but I don't know how to do this.

    Guys, please, can you me the migration steps?

    I was thinking about this:

    (2) restore database backup rman (production system)

    (3) is not sure how to register restored the database on the new cluster

    Thanks in advance.

    You must first reconfigure init.ora (for all instances) with the new configuration, as remote_listener local_listener, instance_number cluster_database...

    After that, you must save the database and everything what you bodies

  • To a new cluster of vcenter 4.1

    I have two vmware 4.1 with separate storage clusters.  The two groups have no direct access to the storage of each other.  I am all of my VM migration to the new cluster.  The latest VM on my list is vcenter himself.

    I use vswitches distributed on my new cluster.

    I'm trying to think of a simple way of migration and drop my vcenter server from one cluster to another without falling on many problems.  I can't stop it and do a server/storage vmotion because I need vcenter to vmotion.

    One idea I had was to use vmware converter to move it to the new cluster.  It power off on the old cluster and on the new power.  Everyone thinks it would work ok?

    Billy

    If you have a mount LUNS or NFS temporary swing in clusters (or at least a host of each), you can do the following:

    1 put the temp data store online in both groups

    2 storage vMotion your vCenter for storage to the swing server

    3 vSphere client as root on the host where the vCenter

    4. free off the vCenter Server

    5 unregister it / remove inventory (don't delete disk of course)

    6. client vSphere as the root of the host target in the new cluster who sees the same storage

    7 browse the approriate time shared data store, right-click the .vmx and save it

    8. Select the port vDS group appropriate to change the settings, then turn on the computer, virtual

    8. give him the time to get online and update of the inventory of the hosts

    9. open client vSphere vCenter Server

    10. notes that the summary page of the vCenter VM specifies the correct host in the new cluster

    11. when the content, svMotion in the data store permanent desired

    As always, make sure you have good backups, or a clone of standby, you can switch to if you experience complications (unlikely).  I would also make sure the target VLAN has been tested on the new cluster.  If you have problems with vCenter get the update of the inventory (unlikely), you can restart the agents of management on the source and target hosts.

  • sorting table, how to get the new index of the last value?

    Hi all!

    I use a Subvi, which adds a cluter of the parameters to an array and then sort this table by one of the parameters in clusters.

    It works very well, with examples, that I found in this forum

    but now, I would like to know if it is possible to obtain at the end of the new cluster index first added.

    See attached VI

    Thank you

    You take the size of the table and insert the new element to this level is anything other than the table of construction and a simple construction would do that.

    In your question, I assume you're asking on the index of the item that you inserted after the sorting of the table, right? In this case, you can compare the cluster element that you introduce to the initial with the cluster table you get after a sorting of the table. This will give you the index of the item that you insert at the start.

  • Need help: vSphere 4.1 old cluster to a migration 5.1 new cluster

    Need help!

    Well, we need to replace the old vmware 4.1 (3 former hosts in cluster) with the most recent output 5.1 (3 new hosts in cluster).

    We have 3 DAS old_hosts connected to the SAN HP P2000 G3 FC (we have only a single SAN who has 2 active FC ctrl with FC port 2 each - if only one FC port is free).

    As the new material is very different (1 Xeon E5335 2 GHz for every former host) and 2 Xeon E5 - 2630 2.30 GHz for each new host I'm not so sure be allowed to add new_host to the old cluster, not you?

    If this is the case, that is the best strategy to run a migration as possible interruption less?

    Anyone can suggest me what logical steps, we need to achieve our goal?

    (b) create new cluster with EVC mode enable (based on the old family)

    so, I don't do any CVS operation on the old cluster?    Y/N

    Nothing changes in the old cluster and other Word is YES! operation of EVC.

    (d) to migrate all your virtual machines in esx old new host esx (with sufficient resources)

    When I see in my inventory vcenter the old and the new cluster in order to migrate a virtual machine between them that I have to drag and drop the virtual machine on the label of the new cluster name? It is enough, or there is another way to do this?

    Yes, you can drag and drop again cluster or you may use the Migration Wizard to migrate the virtual machines. Both way can be works.

    When I have all the virtual machines in the new cluster, the situation is:

    -cluster hosts are running in VCA mode

    -VMs are run in EVC mode

    so if I now turn off the CVS mode on the cluster hosts automatically will work with all the features of the CPU or they should be stop/start?

    VCA mode cannot be disabled for virtual machines operating in EVC mode. If you want to disable, you must stop your virtual machines before first VCA mode off.

    FYI, the VCA mode is for mixed with different hosts of the family of processors, but in your case, the VCA mode is you help to minimize downtime and the planning of your downtime for virtual machines. If you don't want to use the old family processor, then you must turn off your VM and migrate to new hosts. So in this case, you have no need to allow the VCA. This CVS is you help migrate live Webcam virtual machine to the new family of processor host without downtime. Because virtual machines live runs on the cpuID of processor mode the lowest.

    If you want to disable the VCA mode on the cluster, you need to do that there is no VMs is under tension. Because to the VCA ID CPU mode will change.

    Just my cents
