• 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.

• 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.

• 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 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.

• Back up a computer using VMware Consolidated Backup virtual

  It is possbile to save a virtual machine that resides on a SAN fiber while the VM is off? I try to use VCB on our Virtual Center (also our backup server) server.

  Thank you

  enter in replace ipaddr: mode of name?

  Instead of ipaddr: type name:

  And use the VM name in vCenter Server

• 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.

• 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

• Error while you're using backup consolidated backup

  Hello

  We are facing a problem with the servers while using backup consolidated backup.

  When the backup runs through scritp, it just create a snapshot of the server of th. and the name of the hard disk goes from the original for example abc1.vmdk to abc1 - 000033.vmdk

  There are several snapshot files. Like this.. which is not allowing us to make the backup

  I tired to change name to onec .vmx files HARD drive system startup and original. but its still looking for the other snapshot, VMDK fies

  PL. help.

  Thank you

  Smail

  If you go into the directory of the virtual machine and "mv vmname.vmsd vmname.vmsd.old", then delete all the snapshot files since you can not use the more anyway, then you should be able to successfully take a snapshot of the virtual machine and then delete it (aka "remove all" in the Snapshot Manager).

  In the future, just move the file to another name vmsd, then create a snapshot and delete all snapshots. and it should solve your problem.  Starting the virtual machine on the "basic" disk will result in losing you any data that was in the virtual machine, since the first snapshot was taken.

• ESX 3.5 Consolidated Backup

  What software for proxy box would be easier to manage and configure? I want to save all the VM via a connection ISCSI via Virtual Center 2.5 with VCB

  I am currently using Arcserve 11.5 for backups.

  I've been looking at other products there IE. VRanger Pro and Netbackup connection. But if someone has experience with 11.5 Arcserve and work I'd really appreciate any advice or suggestions that you could give me.

  Thank you

  I used TSM and Symantec Backup Exec.

  TSM, I think it's a bit convoluted.

  Symantec Backup Exec worked very well.

  See you soon,.

• Backup vmware images

  Hello

  How can I save the vmware image if my customer wants to buy CA BrightStor Backup version 12?

  I think that VCB moving forward will be is no longer supported, so what solution can there be reached if I want to use VCP?

  Thank you

  Take a look on:

  Backup solutions for VMware ESXi (fine also for ESX)

  VMware vs VMware Consolidated Backup data recovery

  If you also have the physical system or a lot of application, cosinder to use a backup program of tradition with the specific VMware agent.

  Otherwise, consider Vizioncore vRanger connection or Veeam Backup.

• VDR, VDP, VCB - demystifying the Backup Options

  Hello world

  I am currently evaluate the backup options for our field of VMware, and delve into the options causes some headaches.

  Little background information - about 10 hosts ESX 4.1, VCenter Server 4.1, 100 + VM, Fibre Channel SAN storage.

  I found the following:

  VMware Data Recovery - as far as I know, this was replaced by the VMware Data Protection?

  VMware data protection - similar to VMWare Data Recovery in terms of technology and operation.

  VMware Consolidated backup - after reading several contradictory articles, I'm fighting to see where it is. Some people say it VCB don't * actually * save anything.

  So, I think that the base on my environment and the version of vCenter and ESX, my first choice will be:

  VMware data protection

  Veeam

  Can someone give a brief summary of the differences with the three designated products and how they fit into a backup strategy virtualized it please?

  
  Thank you

  David

  VCB is an ancient technology of the pre-vsphere 4.0 era, now replaced by vStorage API. Essentially, each backup, including the VDR, POS or Veeam software, rely on this technology.

  Another thing to keep in mind: you have a 4.1 cluster, you cannot use POS, if you do not upgrade to vSphere 5.1. 4.1, you can only use the VDR.

  About Veeam, is 3rd party product shopping, it is not included in the beams of VMware. Apart from this, in my view, there still many advantages even on the POS again. To name a few:

  -no backup repository size limit

  -orchestration between compiling deployment

  -recovery instant vm

  -surebackup

  You can take a look at what these features to the site Web of Veeam.
