• VCB & backup exec 12.5 w / vmware option - list of disks in disk management

  Hello

  I have an EMC SAN (CX3-20 and CX4-120) and I welcomed a LUN to be shared between in the backup server.  Backup server has VCB, backup exec 12.5

  This is a normal behavior?

  1 - when I click on disk management in the computer management and then the LUNS which I shared appears as a partition 'unknown '.

  2. when I right click it now allows me to delete.  When I remove, it basically caused me a lot of problems on my esx environment.

  My other question is:

  Is it away so that I can still share this LUN so that my Backup Exec + VCB can always make backups, but this lun are not not in computer management? I'm just afraid something would go wrong and the LUNS can be accidentally deleted (which will create the biggest problem for me in my production environment)

  Please find attached the screenshot.

  Best,

  Ahmed

  Yes (if you mean State disc 4).

  Hello.

  By using another backup server (Backup Exec) with VCB framework installed and using the same server as a Proxy.

  Here's everything you need to know.

  Do I still need to install the vCenter VCB framework?

  No, as long as it is not the same server with Backup Exec on it.

  Good luck!

• Backup Exec 12.5 and VCB - support requirements and agent

  I noticed there is now an agent, which you can purchase from Symantec that allows you to save as many guests on the particular host windows as you want without any agent (though law enforcement officers are still required).

  http://eval.Symantec.com/mktginfo/Enterprise/other_resources/b-solution_brief-bews12.5_agent_vmware_virtual_infrastructure_09-2008.en-us.PDF

  My question is this - from what I can find on the web, ESX 3.5 U3 does not support the latest integration modules Backup Exec (pre and post backup scripts etc.). So based on this, using Backup Exec 12.5 with VCB Symantec agent is needed giving you the GUI (no longer need to customize scripts for VM backups).

  Can someone please clarify this?

  The Agent gives you a GUI with VCB integration. You should always install VCB, just not the integration kit. You can always do it the "old school" way. The modules BE did never seem to work 100% anyway and you can the House push something pre and post if you do not want to pay for the agent.

  I think that VMware just stopped creating integration because the older kits kits are relatively stable. I tested with esx3.5u3/vc2.5u4 and have no problem. There is no update for VCB, so there is no update for the kits.

  I know that you have done this before, then you probably haven't this info, but I just posted a guide on the VI:OPS on VCB as a generic facility backup->http://viops.vmware.com/home/docs/DOC-1392

• Backup Exec and VCB proxy server configuration

  Hello

  I am installing Backup Exec to back up my virtual machine on an ESX Server, but I get the following error:

  *Backup- VMVCB::ESX01VCGuestVm(DC)ha-datacenter(DC)vmserver03* 
  
  
  V-79-57344-38220 - Backup of the virtual machine 'server03' failed. VMware VCB framework reported the following error
  
  
   
  
  
  Error: Failed to open the disk: Cannot access a SAN/iSCSI LUN backing this virtual disk. (Hint: Option "-m ndb" swtiches vcbMounter to network base disk access if this is what you want.) 
  
  

  It's my setup. I have an ESX Server connected to a San. I store my images on the SAN. I have Backup Exec installed on our file server that is also attached to the SAN and try to use this server as my VCB proxy server. I have installed on my server BE VCB framework and the enterprise Converter 3.03. I have setup a temporary staging that the server can access to place its snapshots on.

  My BE\VCB proxy server cannot access the SAN LUN that holds the images. My understanding of the process is that of BE I navigate on the ESX Server and select the virtual machine, I want to backup, and because the ESX Server can access the SAN LUNS where VM images are stored throughout the process of alignment of the image and place in the temporary storage area so that BE can then throw tape should work.

  Can someone help to solve my problem?

  See you soon

  Yes, it is the intention of the VCB.  Take the resources needed to run the backup out of the host and on the VCB proxy server.  You can define VCB to use the 'LAN' mode which backs the service console of the virtual computer on the network, but it is slower and puts more pressure on the host.

  Make sure you carefully follow the VCB document.  There are some things you need to do on the proxy before presenting the LUN as cutting diskpart automount. If you don't there is a chance that the lun might get corrupted and your VM would go bye-bye.

• How to restore a virtual computer to another computer using Backup Exec virtual

  Hi all

  I tested VMware 3.5.  We have little budget, so we intend to convert 5-10 dev servers into virtual machine running on an existing ML570 HP.  I created a test VM; I could back up and restore the entire virtual machine using Backup Exec to a physical server without problem.  However I can not restore a virtual machine to a different VM.  Let's say I dv01; I backed up using Backup Exec dv01 on the physical server.  Pretending the host has no I have rebuilt a new host, created a new virtual machine with the same name dv01 and same features.  I restored dv01 from the backup.  The restoration is properly; However, he got a blue screen when I rebooted the virtual computer.  The blue screen went so big that I don't remember what it was, but it's the kind of a dll error.

  We want to keep the budget as small as possible using our existing Backup Exec agents, but it doesn't seem to work here.  Is Backup Exec for VMware agent a MUST?  Catering to the same VM is good, but restore to a different VM is not so simple.

  THX.

  As you can see in http://www.vmware.com/products/vi/buy.html, VCB is included in all editions of VI 3.5.

• vRangerPro and integration of Backup Exec

  Hello everyone

  Ask for a better recommendation of the Community approach. I have a server, let's say the name of the server. HollyCorp1. The HollyCorp1 Server

  see all the VMFS data store in the VI3 environment, HollyCorp1 has a LUN to serve the "reservoir" of 334 GB

  I managed to install the following on HollyCorp1 in the sequence of the list:

  • 1 vRangerPro

  • 2 plugin VCB, vRanger connection

  • 3 vRanger connection restore file plugin

  • 4 VCB framework

  I can successfully perform a backup off Lan through vRanger connection to the LUNS designated as drive I:\ on 334 GB HollyCorp1

  This is where I'm having trouble.

  I'm having 40 VM backup using vRanger connection, my first approach is to save this 334 GB LUN and have a backup server

  using BackupExec mapped to drive I:\ on Hollycorp1 and the Backup Server then forwards these files on tape.

  Question

  This LUN is only 334 GB in size, I obviously can't save each VM in the same time. How is that what you would plan vRanger connection to copy

  x number of VM of this LUN, then Backup Exec transferred these VM to tape then time it so that the first group of

  VM is removed, then the next group of VM's backup thru vRanger connection and so on

  The customer asks 1 full backup weekly and the differences on a daily basis, all of the recommendations.

  The way I approach it is not effective, there must be another way any input would be greatly appreciated.

  First take a look at this doc, I have published about VIOPS-> http://viops.vmware.com/home/docs/DOC-1133 is a companion for a workshop I presented at VMworld 2008. It covers backup and recovery using NetBackup, but the process is similar to the BE.

  You can use the vRangerProGUI to create one job to back up a virtual machine or a group of virtual machines. The GUI is simply a front end to the CLI. At the bottom of the interface is the command line for work. You can copy this in a meadow BE backup script. Then use a post to BE script to delete the files from the staging area. I have one do not know if you will succeed with the differentials. I have not tried with VCB, but it was not available in previous versions, when using VCB. In addition, I do not know if it depends on the original image being present on the disk.

• For Symantec Backup Exec backup scripts

  Hello

  Does anyone know how to change the module of integration of Backup Exec for monolithic backups.  It's create sparse backups at this moment and identification is somewhat more complicated.

  Good instructions on how to restore the backup of the file partially allocated to another ESX host would be useful.

  Thank you very much

  Russell

  DOH!  Sorry, I gave you the location for VCB 1.1, it changed to 1.5. It should be added to the following:

  
  function AttachVMData(VMinfo, vmMoRef, createSnapshot, deleteSnapshot)

  Someone at - he found a way to do this? We had to work at 11, but when we went, it seems that syamntec has changed the way it reports in its database.

  Can you give us more information about the way you are / have been followed by Backup Exec 11? As what extension of BB are / were you helps monitor the Backup Exec 11? In addition, details of the power failure; execution of the extension will fail at all, at some point, no matter what STDERR? And what version of BB you running now?

• Backup exec 2012, issue of mpio san backup and ALA

  We have a 4 TB File Server 2008, BONE is a physical server with hba to san volume where the files are located on.
  so far, our backup exec server has an hba double iscis, with only using a port in the San.
  in backup exec, I have created 8 jobs that run at the same time and creates 8 snapshots on the san to back up the file server.
  on the side of san when snapshots are created, I can see that snapshots are assigned to the different ethernet ports, eth0, eth1, eth2, eth3, etc..
  and start broadcasting our backup exec Server iscsi hba data, but since it is only using 1 connection her bottleneck through 1 Gbps.

  If I install mpio on the backup exec server and configure the ports and mpio on the hba settings, when the san creates snapshots, the TI separate backups between the two connections of 1 GB on the hba iscis on the backup exec Server?

  what I have to do all the other configurations on the San or switch layer2 (48 1 Gbps connections) that we use for our San?
  I read somewhere that you would have to do something on the switch if you did 'aggregation of links' or 'bonding' but that mpio is completely different, and I wouldn't have to do something for her.

  any comments would be appreciated.

  Hello

  Re: Collage/circuits only is not supported by the MS. iSCSI initiator  It's in the guide to iSCSi Ms.

  RE: iSCSI hba.   What is a Broadcom iSCSI unloading mode or Qlogic iSCSI HBA?

  So once you configure the other port on the DRUNK to be on the same SAN subnet, you can use MPIO.

  You should already have installed the EQL HIT the DRINK server, is that correct?     If so, then run the Remote Setup Wizard in the Equallogic program folder.   There is an option "configure mpio.   Game to use only the iSCSI subnet, and you will see a checkbox for MPIO enabled shadow copy.  Which is enabled by default.

  Kind regards

• Backup Exec 11 d cannot see Powervault ML6000

  Hello

  We just bought a Powervault ML6000 (ML6020) tape library and can not see using Backup Exec 11 d.

  Backup Exec is installed on two backup servers:

  PowerEdge 1650 running Windows 2003 R2.

  PowerEdge 750 running Windows 2003 R2.

  The ml6000 library is connected via cables FC to a MCData Fibre Channel switch. A San is also connected to the FC switch. We want the servers are backup using the SAN which is connected to the FC switch.

  I can access the ML6000 library via its web interface for backup servers.

  We would be able to see the ML6000 readers across the network? or do we have to connect to the server PowerEdger to the MCData switch with cables FC?

  Thank you

  HI -.

  We use Veritas for the backup device. You will need to contact your representative of Veritas for license information - it is not provided by Cisco. Since the unit running SQL (or MSDE 2000), you will need SQL Veritas agent to back up OPEN files. We do not use dirt, but only for the backup device before performing the upgrades.
