vmnetwork cluster &; vcenter database backup
Hello
I have 1 cluster under which 5 ESX4 are configured with HA, DRS, vmotion, everything is available on the assessment
and it works very well, now I have 2 question.
1 > I see in network-> network inventory, there is just 'VM network', I wanted to know is ths
"the virtual machine network", a pipe which is combined of all servers in ESX4 5?
2 > I wanted to take a backup of vCenter database, so if there is no mess I can restore it, how to do?
Please guide.
Thank you

Hello
1 > I can see in the inventory--> networking network, there is just 'VM network', I wanted to know is ths
"the virtual machine network", a pipe which is combined of all servers in ESX4 5?
Not at all. This means that you have on each host a vSwitch with a labeled portgroup VM network. There is also the concept of the distributed virtual switch IS a switch on all nodes.
"pipes" are not really here.
2 > I wanted to take a backup of vCenter database, so if there is no mess I can restore it, how to do?
SQL, make a SQL backup then you can restore said backup if necessary. Standard SQL.

You back up the databases behind vcenter? From what I understand, they are MSSQL express? I was wondering what backup procedures deploy you databases to vcenter, I guess his key altogether to save the database in particular in concerned security agencies that the database contains potential forensic audit logs for the steps taken in your data center? What is risk if you do not save your vcenter SQLexpress DB? If so?
It is important to back up your vCenter database because it contains all information about the configuration of your vCenter and logs. The risk is based on the complexity of your vSphere environment - if it is complex with dVswitches, configuraitons at clusters etc, then you want to back up the database, or else you will have to re-create the environment by hand. who will be your vCenter offline environment until the rebuild is complete. If it's less complex the downtime you'll rebuild the environment will be reduced.

SSO vCenter to cluster SQL database
I was wondering if you can help me with something... You must move the database SSO (RSA) vcenter to another SQL cluster. We confirmed mappings of user credentials and data base have been properly copied on SQL cluster. I just have a problem with the article in the link where I am trying to execute the following command. I have provided new details of SQL cluster. Do you know what I'm doing wrong? Am I not including the correct options and information in the command?
http://www.gabesvirtualworld.com/how-to-move-VMware-single-sign-on-SSO-database/
Name of server: IL1SQC02N2
Server virtual name: IL1sqc02v1
SQL instance: sqc02v1
Order in the section
ssocli configures-claire - a configure - db - IL1sqc02v1\sqc02v1 of the database-home
Thank you!
I think that you run SSO 5.1, right? If so, the vCenter Server database is only supported to run the SQL Cluster on version 5.5, so I think that execution of SSO 5.1 on Cluster SQL database is not supported.
Because SSO 5.5 requires no SQL database more... I highly recommend you upgrade your server vCenter to 5.5 and then you can move the vCenter to Cluster SQL Server database.

What informaion all get stored vCenter database?
I'm looking at information stored in the database. As database to store information for ESX Cluster, resource POOL etc... or something else.
Also if my database crashed then VC will not work. If I reinstall (not restore from backup) of the database what information I get when I connect to the CR.
Welcome to the communities...
As database to store information for ESX Cluster, resource POOL etc... or something else.
vCenter database has all the information that never see you via vSphere Client, Datacenter, Cluter, VM, details vSwitch, vDS datastore, Performace etc...
Check out the guide to find out what information is store in DB
http://www.VMware.com/files/PDF/vc_dbviews_41.PDF
Also if my database crashed then VC will not work. If I reinstall (not restore from backup) of the database what information I get when I connect to the CR.
If not restore the backup and then his new vCenter similar facility and you will have to perform all the related configuration vCente and you will lose all the performance statistics

Scenario: SRV1 is a virtual machine that has installed vcenter. The vCenter database (SQL) is on VM SRV2. Now I want to get SRV2, do little maintenance, change the configuration of the VM, etc.. Is it possible if the SQL database is offline? A cluster or something similar would be necessary in this case?
If stop you the SRV2 for maintenance the vCenter isn't available, but you can still connect directly to the ESXi host where SRV2 and make the virtual machine configuration changes... The SRV2 vmx10 hardware version, you should can the vSphere Client 5.5 02 update to be able to change the settings for the virtual machine.

Question on the vCenter database works
I'm trying to find out what the vCenter database consists of making it grow. Also is there a good way to monitor growth, so you don't need more space if you are using SQL Express?
I deployed an OVA the other day and he watered vCenter because there was no room so he could do his thing. We were on SQL SERVER 2005 Express with the 4 GB limit and upgraded to SQL Express 2008 R2 with a limit of 10 GB to get going again. We do not want to do it again and I'm getting an idea of how the functions of data base and forcing it to fill up. We do not want to go with an external database at this point either.
Hello
Do you have a third party monitoring tool, which keep of querying data from the vCenter server. This can result in significant events. Also utility backup too can generate significant events to develop the database. .

Help blackBerry Smartphones! Database backup error
I can't back up my BB, I get the error code "Unable to save databases". I've identified the problem as the "browser cache" database backup of databases individually in the advanced options.
I deleted my browser cache and clean up the memory, but whenever I try to save my camera it gets so far and stops with the error message "cannot save data bases.
Help please.
Got a better solution that I found myself!
If you CAN identify the problem database, and then follow the instructions in the first step of this link. When you get to the part 4 of this, you must select the problem database and click clear.

The lies en Cuestión a proceso in el that hace a vCenter comics backup, is moved y recupera en otro servidor vCenter diferente (well could be a method of contingencia valido).
Esta Acción permite carry the config of hosts, VMS, clustering, Facebook, etc., al nuevo vCenter, not however, por algun reason, los roles y privilegios might a los objetos desaparecen diferent.
A reality that el example sober lies a vCenter 5.1 U1a.

2. tap a counter of the rdy % of vcpu on my monitoring software.
I found a guide on this subject, but don't have % rdy (http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vc_dbviews_40.pdf ) I m using vcenter 4.1
Can anyone help?Thank you

Veeam backup 6.0 allows us to save all our virtual machines.
We use VMware ESXi 5.0
Our vCenter 5.0, I installed on a virtual machine.
The vCenter server is backed up every night of Veeam Backup.
My question is:
If our vCenter server crash, is it then possible to restore I have the backup that was night done previus?
We whant to do a restore complete the vcenter our Backup Server.
I don't know how our ESXi servers will react when see her sudden an older vCenter, we restored backup.
Hello
We use Veeam B & R v6 for the last 3 years.
Lets say you have a failure of your vCenter server and there is no quick way, you can solve the problem.
1. turn off the vCenter server crashed.
2. go to the B & R Veeam
3. click on restore, then select a restore point for that perticular Server
4. replace one of the ESX hosts.
Now in the case where this happens Veeam can see vCenter and if he can't have not all hosts to restore. Then you just 'Add Host' and add the ESXi box, that you want to restore.
Now you can move on to step 3.
Wait for restore to finish, and you're done.
Some settings that you can select are "lit VM after restoration" "connect Newtorking.

vCenter database operations?
VCops5 requires its own database outside the vCenter database? Ive went through the documentation and it looks like a must be configured. However, I saw install messages/videos where no configuration database is performed. I just assumed it simply collected vCenter DB information and doesn't have its own.
Please correct me if Im wrong (most likely).
Thank you all!
Joe
vCops uses a separate DB (FSDB). This DB is already set up when you install the version of vCops TIME. If you install the stand alone vCops, you need to configure a SQL or Oracle back-end server. Please see the Installation and Configuration Guide for more information.
