• VM backup using VMware Consolidated Backup

  Hello

  I have ESX 3.5 Update4

  can someone explain pls howto backup computer virtual using VMware Consolidated Backup?

  Well,.

  There is a "VCB" that can be used in the COS of your ESX by running the command as shell vcbMounter. But most of the people using the Windows package "VCB 1.5" so just install it on any windows machine. Don't forget that you need disk space for storing images FullVM or a connected tape drive is required.

  After installation, change the config/config.js to match your needs. It provides some general parameters and default values. If you use a San or any iSCSI storage do not forget to run "diskpart automount disable" and 'diskpart automount scrub' first befor all required LUNS mounting.

  Now start playing with vcbMounter.exe. Remember that by default I have '-san m "is used which try to read data directly from the SAN. If you do not have a SAN using "m ndb" rather than transfer the data via the ESX host.

  VMware provides some PDF documents on the use of VCB and also the "my learn" section provides useful information.

• Veeam backup or vmware consolidated backup?

  What is the best?

  Thank you

  RJ

  We will all live a virtual life...

  Hello

  Certainly VCB is not as rich in features as Veeam but you can compare the two, they take data outside the ESX host and place it on a backup server. You should necessarily not a script to do this with VCB, but it will certainly help! For environments really small hand vcbMounter orders will pass data of the ESX host to your backup host. Then you will need a (even when using Veeam) mechanism to move the backup to a kind of Ribbon, blu - ray or a another backup device.

  Granted in some cases Veeam will also make use of the VCB to make its backups and Veeam combined with VCB is a pretty good combination.

• VMware Consolidated Backup, LInux Machines go read-only

  We have a strange problem, the scenario is as follows:

  3 knots x 3650, hba qlogic, Vmware 3.5 Update 4

  1 SATA ds3400 dual ctrl

  1 x 3650 dedicated to the VCB nodes

  A lot from time to time, virtual Linux machines, VCB has completed the backup, rest with the read-only file system, the only chance to solve the problem is to restart the virtual machines: we already checked the vmware tools and are all up to date.

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you very much

  As a general rule, it is not realistic to adjust the waiting times for the LSI or buslogic drivers scsi as they would need to be recompiled. To my knowledge there is no kernel option, you can pass to them on this issue. Some versions of redhat specifically deal with it is bad and flipping in read-only mode. I think RHEL 4 U4 and precedent are touched by this, U5 has been set, and the problem was inexplicably re-introduced in U6 (I hope those updated numbers are right, I have to look back through my SRs to understand). If I were you, I would look at the upgrade to vSphere 4 that has a couple of cool things.

  1. new options scsi (LSI SAS, paravitual SCSI driver pvscsi virtual controller)

  2 VMFS 3.33 (which will require you to reformat your LUN with the new VMFS however) has up-to-date SAN attempts, which means that wait times do not necessarily make the LSI/Buslogic controller in the first place and will be dealt with at the level of the VMFS layer. It is possible that you could put a LUN with the VMFS 3.33 using host vSphere 4.0.0 and not spend the rest of your hosts, but I'm not positive on this one here.

• VMWare Consolidated Backup question

  I always get the following error message when you try to run postbackup.bat after a successful prescan.bat:

  Error "VcbMounter" 7268 - could not read information take it apart.

  For this reason, I have always supported my virtual machine using only prescan.bat images.

  2 questions:

  1. is it OK for prescan.bat nothing else work later (I did about 3 backups of image of vcb of my vm in the last 6 months)

  2. What can cause the error when you try to run postbackup.bat for stored virtual machines?

  Thank you!!!

  If you run a backup of FullVM, the post is not required. Disassemble the VCBmounter process and will automatically delete the snapshot. The post script is necessary for a file backup to take it apart and remove the snapshot. Take a look at my VCB 'Guide proven practices' on VI:OPS-> http://viops.vmware.com/home/docs/DOC-1392 he explains the process for you.

• Installation of VMware Consolidated Backup with vRanger connection - first installation

  I want to install VCB (for the first time) that will be integrated with Vizioncore vRanger connection.

  Does anyone have a better practice and document installation on the installation of the VCB process?

  Also someone with experience integrating connection VCB with vRanger?

  Thank you all...

  Follow the instructions of vizioncore.  They pretty much say on complete installation.  This is the best practice.

  vRanger connection works very well with VCB.  Install connection vRanger first then install the VCB proxy for vRanger connection.

• VMWare ESXi 4 or VMware vSphere 4 Essentials Bundle

  Hi all

  We are size medium no criticism of business when it come to the

  servers and COMPUTER service. We currently hold 10 physical servers in the future

  will be placed on the virtual environment. We already have VMware ESXi 4 running that

  who currently hold 3 VMs.

  We bought the very powerful server that can accommodate more than

  15 virtual machines.

  Specification of the server:

  2 physical processors with 6 hearts

  16 GB memory

  2 TB internal hard drive

  4 * a gigabit network card

  I'm not sure I should install VMware ESXi or pay a

  version of VMware vSphere. The new server will be critical such as servers

  Exchange, BES, Finance server. We do not want to spend more than £1000

  License of VMware. VMware vSphere 4 Essentials Bundle responds to our

  requirements and the budget. I was watching VCB guide and it is perhaps useful

  but it took a lot of configuration, SAN/NAS and extra money (agents of)

  third party software to backup).

  We have SIN, and it is connected to the network switch. Yes, I did

  trying to backup to NAS (70 GB) and it took about 6 hours using FOSS Veem.

  Should I go for free version or VMware vSphere 4 Essentials

  Bundle?

  Thank you

  > What benefits will I have more other free version VCB then?

  Well well with VCB, you can make full backups of you vms, but you can also use with free ESXi as GHettoVCB free tools.

  Also, look here for more information.

• VSphere Essentials Bundle renewed client - cannot find license key 5.1

  Hello

  At MyVMware, I can see our own business license keys and also my costomer license keys. How ever I can not understand how to 'Add' or 'upgrade' or 'renew' or what do I purchaced license to find 5.1 vSphere license keys to my client. Can I get 4.1 only license keys there.

  Also in MyVMware super user of the client has bad emaild address - no e-mail at all such-domain.

  The licenses ordered (new) are:

  Subscription only for VMware vSphere Essentials Bundle for 1 year	VMware vSphere 4 Essentials Bundle for 3 guests (Max 2 processors per host) and 6 cores per processor	1	31 MAY 2012	19-SEP-2015

  What can I do? VMware host the client complains that I need to provide the license key.

  Thank you

  Juha

  I would recommend you open a support case license with VMware (from the portal of my VMware) on behalf of your client and explain what you see now and how it is supposed to look like. Provide details regarding the purchase of renewals (no matter what email address on the order form of renewal might be important).

  From my experience, licenses support is extremely helpful and I am sure that they will be able to get it straightened up in no time.

• Consolidated Backup with pre-existing NetBackup Master

  Hello

  We try to set up Consolidated Backup (v1.5). We already use Netbackup (version 6.0) for all our physical machines.

  All of the documentation, it seems that install us VCB, Consolidated Backup Integration Module & NetBackup server. The documentation goes on to suggest that we install NetBackup master server on the Proxy. But we would like to use our existing NetBackup master, which has storage on tape already connected etc.

  Are we able to install NetBackup as a client on the Proxy and hang it in an existing NetBackup master?

  Thanks a lot for all the help on this

  It depends on how you wish to save. You can create a multimedia server and install the framework it. You could install on the master server, or you could install it on a client computer. The client machine must also the administration console installed if you go this route.

  I wrote two guides around VCB. One is generic-> http://www.dailyhypervisor.com/2010/01/15/setting-up-vcb-for-any-backup-software-revisited/

  One for NBU and vRanger connection-> http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-11417
