• VCB backup without vCenter vSphere 4.0 Standard

  Is it possible to make a backup of the VCB without vCenter in the following situation:

  -2 guests (not ESX) ESXi, vSphere 4.0 Standard, both with local storage

  -Server Proxy VCB (with Veeam Backup and replication)

  Or do I absolutely vCenter?

  Should I also ESX ESXi has no service console?

  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  Hello royml, thank you very much for your interest.

  1. Yes, with Veeam Backup, you can perform backups of your virtual machines without vCenter server present VCB - today, it is available in the current version of Veeam Backup. The same is true for the vStorage API based backups (API vStorage for Data Protection is the successor VCB, we fully support this mode backup in our forthcoming v4).

  2. Yes, it can be ESXi - no problem here, with Veeam Backup by using the agent console service is not necessary.

  Do not hesitate to download VMware and Veeam Backup test and try it - takes 5 minutes to deploy Veeam Backup and start your first job

  If you have any product-specific questions - we will be happy to help you on the Veeam community forums.

• LM 4.0.4 and vSphere ESX 4.1 update 2

  Forgive me if someone has already asked this question, but I did not yet find a way to search just this particular forum compared to the VMware communities as a whole; This seems to be the only option using the search field in the upper right.

  Question:

  For LM 4.0.4 release notes them public support for vSphere ESX 4.1 update 1.  Does anyone know if vSphere ESX 4.1 update 2 is still supported?

  Thank you!

  Kevan

  If you check this, ESX(I) 4.1 U2 is supported with Labmanager 4.0.4.

• includes vSphere ESX 4.0 U3?

  I just upgraded vSphere ESX 4.0 U2 to U3.  According to VMware technical support, installing U3, my installation should be completely up to date with patches.  Esxupdate info doesn't show me no patches released between U2 and U3.  Where can I find confirmation that the ESX 4.0 U3 hosts are really completely up to date?

  Yes

• Move VMS between server ESXi and vSphere ESX server

  Dear all,

  I want to move some a vSphere ESX server virtual machines to ESXi server.

  I understand that some users will use CPS to move between the ESX servers, but apparently not for moving between different products.

  I'm just using a slow and prone to error method:

  The files of the virtual machine to my deskop PC of vSphere ESX server and then upload to the ESXi server.

  I would advise you to please all of the methods that is better than this one?

  Help, please.

  Kind regards

  Tommy

  If you got a central storage you can move virtual machines between the two products with vMotion. Since you don't seem to have available vMotion, you pouvez use scp. SCP has nothing to do with ESX/ESXi products. It is a Linux/Unix program which is available in both servers.

  So with the CPS, you need a little less.

  The syntax is like:

  SCP - r/path/to/vm/directory user@esxi:/path/to/new/location

• The trial of ESXi 3.5 to vsphere ESX 4.0 upgrade problem.

  Configure a test host ESXi 3.5 with 2 virtual machines running on it and I now want to upgrade to vsphere ESX 4.0, but where in the heck do I get the zip file needed to use Update Manager?

  I'll buy the Essentials bundle, but I want to test the upgrade before doing the actual upgrade, and I can't understand what I'm doing wrong.

  Help!

  It is for ESXi, and matter.

  This is the main directory of patches

  https://www.VMware.com/mySupport/download/

  .. But if you try to go to ESXi ESX, you can not upgrade, this is a regeneration.

• How do I know the thrue VSphere ESX Server?

  Hi all!

  I have an ESX 4 server. I can connect with Putty, but the web server is not configured.

  The ESX seem to be connected to a server for VSphere.

  Is it possible, through a connection of PuTTY, to know the name or IP address of the server BSphere?

  Olivier

  I guess when you say vSphere Server, actually talk you to vSphere vCenter that vSphere is simply the family name composed of 4th generation of vCenter and ESX (i) products, etc.

  Anywho, yes it is possible, there are probably a few ways to do this (via newspapers, etc.)

  And here are two:

  (1) using the Console of Service of ESX classic

  Take a look at:

  /etc/opt/vmware/vpxa/vpxa.cfg
  

  The result will be something like:

  A.B.C.D # ESX Service Console IP
  E.F.G.H # vCenter IP
  

  (2) using the API vSphere ESX or ESXi

  If you know how to use the API or managed object browser, there is a property that is ONLY defined if the host ESX (i) is managed by vCenter server defined by managementServerIp http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk400pubs/ReferenceGuide/vim.host.Summary.html

  As we mentioned above, you can see newspapers go or vpxa so that should also have address discovery.

• Restore with replication of vSphere

  Hello

  We use SRM 5.1 with replication of vSphere.

  I'm trying to get a rough idea of how long a reprotect operation would take after a failover, especially synchronization of storage.

  The manual says that:

  
  "The full synchronization that appears especially in the stages of recovery performs control totals, and only a small amount of data is transferred over the network."

  However in my testing this step still seems to take a long time to complete.  For a person of 50 GB, it takes 40 minutes.  My question is: what is the bottleneck here and I can speed things up?

  In a live scenario, I have much larger comments VMs and I fear that a reprotect could take days to synchronize the storage.

  Thank you

  Steve

  The full synchronization bed basically just for the disk data and checksum data. It also makes requests to read the data and return a set of checksums remotely. He would only send the data if the checksums do not match. Thus, assuming that not many disk changed, there is very little except checksum travel over the network. So you will respect especially how fast you can read files vmdk on both sites and to a lesser extent by the latency of the network between the sites, and, of course, if the link between the sites remains upward.

  Check if the link to the sites is good. Get often ignored or not connections are limited somehow? The latency is extremely high, as hundreds of milliseconds? This can slow things down.

  On the source site, make sure that the storage is not overloaded with other work. In the case of NAS/ISCSI, check also that there is no other work of network hogging bandwidth. Sometimes, there are periodic offers on secondary sites, like backups, and that people often forget this can be a lot of resources.

  On the destination site, carry out similar checks and make sure that the server VR is to get a reasonable amount of network and CPU resources.

• Unable to connect the client via vsphere ESX host

  Dear team,

  Once I tried to connect to client host via vsphere ESX I m getting following error.

  

  VCenter version: 4.1.0 345043

  vSphere client: 4.1.0 345043

  ESX Version: 4.1.0 721871

  You help me on the same request.

  concerning

  Mr. VMware

  It is usually advisable, but not an obligation, to have the build of your version of vCenter client correspondence.

  You can see the Interopabilty matrix for supported configurations

• Move the VM of vSphere ESX 3.5?

  We have a number of former hosts of ESX 3.5 that won't support vsphere.  An idea we are circulating is "retired" these hosts from active service, but to keep them on a secondary site for a cheap solution for DR, the idea being that if we had a problem in Data Center main we could move critical VMs on the site "backup."  The question is; This will be possible if we improve our Production environment to vSphere?  We assume that it would be impossible to make a vSphere ESX 3.5 hot shot, but would it be possible to migrate a computer virtual powered down "backward"?

  Thank you

  Gary

  as long as all your vmotion needs are met, you can migrate live between ESX4 and ESX3.5 hosts.  I leave the obsolete tools and virtual equipment attached to v.4, until your environment on vSphere4

  Also, check out VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager if you have not seen.

• Anyone using VCB with NetApp on CF?

  Just curious to know if anyone out there using VCB with NetApp in FC, and that their configuration is on the proxy side.

  Yes I have clients who use this. They have no special configuration. Just a host of regular proxy with a unique link to the NetApp and the other to the destination (fc storage area) cheap

• VCB with NTBackup

  Hello

  I configured VCB with NTBackup. I am backing up a Windows system to a particular folder. However, the backup runs without error. But it's not not all backup files. If I select the whole disc C, all backups. Looks like he can't back up a particular folder. Is there anyway to backup a specified folder?

  Also, I tried to write (paste) files in the mounted virtual disk drive.  It shows that copied. But appear virtual machines. Is this transcribed only mounted virtual disk?

  Thanks in advance.

  Shan

  Sorry for the late reply, must be in time zones or work you long hours

  VMCLEAN. BAT is a batch file that is useful instead of disassemble each snapshot that individually, you can use this batch file to remove all your VCB shots in a go.

  I use a pre script that up my VM 30 individually then execute my backup program (I use Arcserve on NT backup) and then after the VCB backup I have call clean wich script automatically dismounts all VCB snapshots in a go.

  If you do not have to specify each virtual computer.

  Quick note on VCB and BackupNT - you can do differential or incremental backups as the mounted directory is read-only and BackupNT can not set the bit to archive.

  for VCBCLEAN work, you must edit the config.js file in consequence of folder/config.

  P.S. I used Server 2003 to test the NTBackup (should have mentioned that and saved, you some time)

  I hope this helps.

  See you soon,.

• hosts mixed esx 3.5 and older new vsphere with vcenter 4.1 esx hosts. Need advice please.

  Hello, I have an existing the vcenter server install managing two esx 3.5 hosts. The vcenter is version 2.5.0.x. I want to manage my new hosts of vsphere 4.1 esxi through the vcenter. I would check that if I improve my vcenter 2.5.0 for the last version vcenter Server required for the 4.1 that I will be able to manage my old esx 3.5 hosts? Will be an upgrade inplace vcenter 2.5.0.x support now the license server in place or I will have to manually install this after? Thanks for any info. Doug Dorbuck

  You can mange ESX 3.x host with vCenter 4.x - you can't manage ESX 4.x, vCenter 2.x hosts

  I think that in a place of upgrade will keep the license server - otherwise you will need to reinstall the server-licensing

• Problem with connecting to Vcenter, with vSphere ESX

  Hi, I'm going to start this discussion again.

  Initially, I set up a cluster with two ESX host and configured HA. VCenter is located on a virtual server on one of the ESX hosts.

  At this point, everything has worked, tested HA several times and worked perfectly. Two days later, I HAD to reinstall the Vcenter server. That's when it all started. I added successfully to the cluster hosts configured HA. and I tried to test HA. Restart the ESX host, vms where migrated and strted upward on the other server, BUT the server has been restarted never maid she return to Vcenter. I could connect to it via customer, but not hollow vSphere Vcenter. After much work, I tried to disable HA and reconnect the ESX. This finnaly worked. A configured HA once again on two ESX, worked. After another reboot, it's the same thing. I have tried to restart all services, seems to me that something is wrong with the HA agent. Is this a re-install of ESX servers using?

• Connection to the client with VSphere ESX host makes me download the old version of the VSphere client

  Welcome the OS Version: 5.1.0 - 2013

  Question: When I connect to my guests with the VSphere client it forces me to re-download the VSphere client. As you can see from the attached PDF there pretty much all installed versions. Yet, he's trying to go to vsphereclient.vmware.com to try to download again (which cannot because it is on a closed network). It is meaningless to me, as you can see I have all versions of the installed client. My boss who also has the same installed versions can connect. Actually, I installed 5.1 client so that should be enough. VSphere shows the host to 5.1.0 - 2013.

  Why is this not with my Vsphere client?

  Looks like your Client vSphere is version 5.1.0b (source: Match VMware vCenter 5.1 component Versions |) Virten.NET) and your ESXi host is version 5.1 Patch 4 (KB VMware: Products VMware correlating build numbers to update level )

  You need download the vSphere Client 5.1 update 2 version to directly connect to this host.
