vcenter for purposes of backup clone

It is convenient to Vcenter 4.1 for purposes of backup clone? I had a quick google on this subject and found a range of opinions

http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2010/08/09/standby-vCenter-server-for-disaster-recovery/

http://communities.VMware.com/message/2005251

Some say that it is correct, while others have problems because vcenter using ADAM. Our database is on a separate cluster.

-To clone vcenter, it's just a case of cloning the vcenter VM while it is initialized (the clone is not started after the cloning process)?

-If we needed to start the clone, can it be started from the command line using a remote technical support?

Yes, you can clone it to back it up. So far, that your network settings are correctly configured you can turn on in disaster scenarios.

  • Search for Time Machine backups for email

    I need to get my backup files for a particular email. This backup is on an external hard drive but not in active service at the moment but plugged on my system for purposes of trying to locate this email and the ability to retrieve other emails stored with the hope of adding them in my active files.

  • Identify a vCenter for VIM vCloud object instanceUuid

    Hello, I am trying to understand the best way to get the UUID vCenter for VIM vCloud object (in my case a resource pool, for which I have the MoRef) to identify the corresponding object of vCenter.   I want to use a given resource pool reference (Playback a pvDC) to find the purpose of grouping of real resources in vCenter, many vCenters recorded vCO/VCD since the MoRef is not unique between vCenters.  There is an article by William Lam (http://blogs.vmware.com/vsphere/2012/02/uniquely-identifying-virtual-machines-in-vsphere-and-vcloud-part-1-overview.html) that describes the relationships, but an example to solve this with vCO would be appreciated.

    The following should return the UUID of your vCenter Server Server assuming the input object is a vCloud:ProviderVdc object named 'providerVdc '.

    var vcdHost = providerVdc.getHost();
    var pool = providerVdc.toAdminExtensionObject().getResourcePools()[0]; // get the first resource pool (VclVMWProviderVdcResourcePool)
    var vimObjectRef = pool.resourcePoolVimObjectRef;
    var vimServer = vcdHost.getEntityByReference(VclFinderType.VIM_SERVER,vimObjectRef.vimServerRef);
    System.log("VimServer uuid: "+vimServer.uuid);

  • How much space for Time Machine backups

    Hello

    Is there a rule for how much space you may want to allow for Time Machine backups?

    I would like to partition the drive to have a room reserved for Time Machine back ups only.  I realize that it is a personal preference.

    Each individual backup occupies approximately 790 GB.  But somehow I have 6 months of backups that supposedly take up only 880 GB on the disk.

    At this time the backups of my other drive back to 6 months in time.

    Fortunately, I never had to go back a few more days to recover a file.

    Is there a reasonable amount of space to allocate for backups, based on current usage of disk?

    Thank you

    Minimum would, of course, the size of the internal drive.

    Double the quantity is sufficient

    Triple the amount if you want a value years from TM backups

    I am convinced that these are independent external drives from your main hard drive of Machines

  • Makes 32-bit is better for the battery backup?

    Original title: I got windows 7 32-bit professional to give above 4 hrs battery backup. And now I have installed the 64-bit but backup is about 3 hours. Makes 32-bit is better for the battery backup?

    Don't really know why it happened then... Should I switch to 32 bit? What is the best?

    There should be no significant difference in energy between 32-bit and 64-bit, you will need to check your settings of power and performance.

    As for which is better, it depends on two basic points. 1 do you really use all that needs or benefits of 64 bit, not a lot of programs don't. Second, how much memory is installed. 32 bit is limited to 4 GB native but about 3.2 GB of technical limit. However, 64-bit requires more memory base so in fact will help only if you have more than 4 GB

  • how much storage is required for a scheduled backup, if you already have your shadow system recorded in the storage device?

    Hello

    I already asked this question but I am still confused! I have re-installed a W7-64 bit fresh in my desktop HP-computer, the first thing was to burn down an emergency start, the startup disk, and then stored a shadow/system image on a removable pocket of 160 G external support box. I have configured my monthly backups to be stored in this media storage device that shows almost 90Gs by flying over. But when the monthly AutoSave active, it stops, & I get a window saying my camera isn't big enough for a scheduled backup. Correct me if I am wrong but I thought that if you have a shadow of system stored in (an external device like mine). A new scheduled backup is just to refresh the system image w/all other file, program etc... Why do I need more 90Gs for whom? I can't afford an external backup storage, right up there:
    1. is it possible to store scheduled backups on my current internal C: drv? (I am aware of the risks). until I get no additional external storage?
    2. why, simply by making a return for which the OS is looking for new files, software etc... who need to maybe added or put to date him require more Gs to a full backup of the system?

  • DVD how much we need for the files backup with backup and restore program?

    Hello how are you?
    DVD how much we need for the files backup with backup and restore program? Y at - it large differences in the time and space between write backups on DVD and external hard drive?

    I do not understand your question.  Asked how the space has been used on your C: drive and you answered 60 GB.  Now you say your PARTITION C: is 60 GB with only 20 GB used?  I really don't understand what you're so confused.  It's simple arithmetic grade 3rd.  What is space you USED on the C: drive, that multiply by 0.7 to obtain the amount of space will be used on your backup disk after compression.  Divide this number by 4.7 and round.  That's how many DVDs you'll need if you insist on the use of DVDs for backup.  Then

    (1) If you are using 60 GB, the answer is (60 x.7) / 4.7 = 8.936.  I rounded up to 9 and added 1 just to be sure.

    (2) If you use only 20 GB, the answer is (20 x.7) / 4.7 = 2.97 rounded up to 3.  Add 1 and get 4.

    If you use only 20 GB, I am very surprised, because almost any important installation of Windows 7 is going to take more than 20 GB.

    All of this assumes that you do NOT use the Windows backup and restore program, but one that I recommended.  When I used the windows one, the results were several times the space that I used on my C: partition.

    Good luck.

  • You will need to create an account only read in vcenter for acess... It is an AD account

    Any script for the need to create an account only read in vcenter for access... It is an AD account? Thank you

    I guess you must assign the ReadOnly to an account Active Directory on a specific entity in your vCenter.

    If Yes, you can do something like this

    $cluster = get-Cluster-name mycluster

    New-VIPermission-body $cluster - role ReadOnly-main "DOMAIN\account."

  • KMS for customized by Quickprep clones?

    Nice day. Sorry in advance for my bad English.

    I want to use Quickprep for customization of the clones of the view. I have KMS server on Win 2008R2 for Win7 desktop computers. Quickprep generates a new SID and thus does not counter the KMS server. I have inevitable counter KMS by Sysprep clones and then Quickprep clones have no problem with the activation of Win. But today, I noticed that this counter has dropped (now less than 25 requests). After that, I saw this thread Volume KMS Activation : "KMS there are only attempts to activation for 30 days, so if less than 25 computers and/or servers have been online in the last month then the count will fall below the threshold of activation for Windows 7. So, what should I do? After recompose clones need activate Windows, but there are not enough applications on the KMS server. Best practices? Or should I use Sysprep (as I did before)?

    Thank you.

    Ah, forget it, just use Sysprep instead of Quickprep. Don't want to keep separated 25 machines with different CMID or to increase the KMS count each month.

  • vCenter vCenter for desktops vs. servers

    I quote a customer 12 ent + licenses vSphere, VMware View Prime Minister bundle of 10, vCenter Operations manager and Director vCloud for 25. VMs by specifications, for operations and vCloud director you need to have a vCenter license in order to purchase these licenses. When I look in the specs for VMware View Prime Minister, there is a vCenter for included desktop computers. I don't know if I should quote a std regular vCenter for servers license or license notice will focus on what I need. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

    The license of vCenter in vSphere for desktops can only be used with Office workloads.  So to answer your question Yes licecnse included vCenter is identical to vCenter Server standard, it can be used only with Office workloads.  If you use server workloads, you can buy a vCenter license.

  • Separate the Server vCenter for VDI environment?

    Should I install a separate to a new environment of view 4.5 VDI vCenter Server?

    See 4.5 can potentially reach about 3,000 users, although he will start with a pilot and after that start to add users probably a hundred at a time.

    Is our current environment vmware vCenter 4.0 Update 2, although I am considering upgrading to 4.1

    We currently have a small VMware environment with around 30 guests and about 400 virtual machines

    I was thinkng it would be good to have vCenter for our VDI environment running in a cluster in our existing vCenter environment.

    It would be wise to tie our vCenters if we do not have two?

    Any ideas on that?

    Has anyone has expereince with this size VDI environment?

    Thank you!!

    Tom

    I prefer to run a separate instance of vCenter. Our deployment is much smaller than yours, and we run it separate because it isolates environments, allows to plan maintenance and does not affect the two environments, because VMware has fallen behind manufacturing discovers completely compatible with the latest versions of vSphere in the past (e.g. vSphere 4.1 requires 64-bit Windows when composer would not run under 64-bit.)

    Especially in an environment as large as yours, I it would run separately.

  • Server for vmdk hardware backups using vRanger connection

    Hello

    We try to implement vRanger connection for backup of our VMS (ESX 3.5) and would like to have installed on a stand-alone server. There are currently 36 VMs that is likely to grow. Each virtual machine has a disk of 10 GB C residing in SAN. We want to save these files vmdk SAN to the server where vRanger connection is installed.

    Could anyone here suggest some options for a server to have it put in place? Given that the size of the files would be around 400 GB for now and much more later, the speed of the hard drive must be considered too.

    Thank you.

    Cool! So what kind of records should I go then?

    What is your budget?  SAS is the fastest, but we are talking here about 400GB drive will cost twice what a single 1.2 to or even 1.5 TB SATA.  Even if you have the budget for it, it's a complete waste of money, since you can get 4 times the storage for the same price.

    RAID 0 will give you the most performance, however if you keep several revisions on your backup disk, maybe not prudent to use the RAID 0 in the long term, but there again this depends on your backup strategy, you want backups LONG or SHORT term?  If you make full backups every week, as we do, RAID 0 is fine.  We can accept the risk given that do us COMPLETE each week and because backups are unexpected, not to archive, it is not a big problem for us, but every company is different.

    Network is not your main concern, however, if you have a decent network of 1 GB, that's all you need.  Just buy whatever you can afford for storage, if backup speed is your main concern, go SAS, if not go SATA.
