When you use MS 2003 storage server, backups ESXi virtual machine

Hello

I have a test lab that I need to put into production, but I need to get to a backup strategy before I can do that.

I have a server ESXi (3.5 U3) frontal 5 virtual machines that all is in an ISCSI data store that is hosted using the Microsoft 2003 Storage Server platform.

One of the virtual machines is a file and print box that has a 500GB partition in the virtual machine, but the virtual machine is located on the ISCSI LUN. What is the best way to save these data, that I can't back up just the LUN because I believe that some of the VM configuration files to sit on the front-end server ESXi?

The nightly backup is always back up all of the LUN (2 TB) because the virtual machine file will always be 500 GB, as it is in full expansion in the file of the virtual machine, so that the incremental backups wanted to work (or will?).

If I am running a backup script against the host of the virtual machine that comes will produce a 500 GB backup file as it comes to the size of the virtual machine?

Any help, suggestions or comments are welcome.

Thank you

If the data store for ESXi is located on the iSCSI LUN, backup of the iSCSI LUN is all you need to do.  The configuration of the Virtual Machine is stored there, and VMDK files that make up the disks.  If the 500 GB of space on the file and print box is on a LUN that is separated from the iSCSI data store, then you will need to back up both the data store LUNS and the LUNS of 500 GB.  If the 500 GB is just a VMDK file on the data store, the backup data store should get everything.

  • Storage DVR when you use HTTP dynamic streaming

    Hello

    When you use DVR with RTMP streaming flow could / should be registered as a single large file on the server, but when using HTTP streaming stream will consist of many files of chuncked; in this case how the flow will be backup, FMS 4 will bring together the pieces? will unlikely, that pieces of flow be saved? in this case, I wonder what tool could be used to access and make videos of him. What is the exact of the FMS4 behavior when dealing with storage of DVR HTTP streaming?

    Thank you

    I want to correct you here: HTTP Streaming application are served as a segmented files, but recording is great single file whereas you have just one segment - if you gave segmentduration then you would multiple files. I hope this clears your doubts regarding the DVR HTTP Streaming.

  • Correct way to use Bind variables when you use an interface to MS SQL Server

    Hey,.
    I have some difficulty to find how to use bind variables in a view, when you use an interface to MS SQL Server. For some reason when I use an ApplicationModule who has a library of MS SQL Server JDBC loaded and I try to click on OK when you change the following query:

    SELECT kit_status, component_id

  • When you use Itunes on my Ipod Touch 5 generation, the Ipod is no longer automatically past from one song to another. This seems to be a novelty. There is a button on the RIGHT side of the upper third of the screen where you can choose options but go n0.

    When you use ITunes on my Ipod Touch 5 Gen, running IOS 9.2, he has recently stopped automatically switch a song on one album to another while listening to ITunes. I discovered a button with 3 points to the RIGHT side of each title of the song which, when typed gives a different options for example then played, add up to the next etc.. If you use these all this seems to get worse with more choices that appear. I know that sounds incredible, but I have owned several Ipods that I use just for listening to music. Mine is a 32 GB version that can store a large number of albums, most of which I bought and loaded into my Ipod. A few albums that I downloaded from ITunes. How can I get it from my Ipod to listen to music in the ITunes application without having to select one of the 55 options?

    First backup your drive hard as soon as POSSIBLE. You may well have a defect of the hard drives.

    Disc information:

    ST3000DM001 disk HARD APPLE disk1: (3 TB) (rotation)

    Macintosh HD (2) /: 3.11 TB 2.47 free - 37 errors

    Drive failure!

    Then start in the recovery volume (start with the command + R keys), select disk utility and run the feature of first aid on the disks.  If you receive a message that x number of errors were repaired, rerun the first aid until there is no errors detected and repaired.  Restarts normally and restart Etrecheck.

    Regardless of the results of the second report by no. means that you should not have Apple test a free diagnosis of your Mac.

    Thirdly, launch Safari with the SHIFT key is pressed and see if there is an improvement in the performance of Safari.

    GetGraphCursor (panelHandle, PANEL_GRAPH, yourCursorNumber, & x & y)

    Using SetCursorAttribute with the attribute ATTR_CURSOR_YAXIS must be what you are looking for. The online help for this attribute explains wery well:

    Description: Used to change the y-axis which is associated with the bar graph.
    When a graphics cursor is created, the Y axis with which it is associated is determined by the value of ATTR_ACTIVE_YAXIS.  Subsequently, the association can be changed using ATTR_CURSOR_YAXIS.
    The y-axis associate serves as reference for the coordinates of the cursor position in calls to SetGraphCursor and GetGraphCursor.

  • DSC-WX150 will stop recording at 03:00 minutes when you use the HDMI video output

    Hello

    I have a Sony Cybershot DSC-WX150 camera.

    When using an output HDMI cable to view the camera to a television screen, the video movie recording function to 3:00minutes exactly every time automatically stops.

    When there is no HDMI cable plugged into the camera, it records fine 20 minutes.

    I tried changing film formats, changing the power settings, camera reset the values by default, etc., but with no difference.

    Why it only record at 03:00 minute exactly mark when you use the HDMI video output? Someone knows how to fix this?

    Thank you

    Hi tight,

    Welcome to the community of Sony!

    If I understand correctly, when you use your TV as a monitor while video recording automatically stops and does not cross the entire 29 minutes. Based on your manual, it is normal for the camera when it is connected to another device via the HDMI cable. This serves as protection for the camera.

  • Auto image compressed/Resized by system only when you use BIS

    My application download a picture, the url is the direct image (http://url/path/image.jpg). the problem is, the image I downloaded always get resized/compressed. the size to become subject to 300px wide. I check my image on the server, I have not the images in this format. and I have no code to resize an image.

    then I realize, it doesn't occur when you use the BIS connection. the return of normal images when I use the WIFI. If it is resized by RIM Server? I test on 9860 and 9900.

  • error 0 x 81000019 when you try to run the Windows backup utility

Logically, Microsoft, it appears that one or more of your updates has interfered with the Windows 7 backup utility... my time is limited and I paid for the product rather than be given to the problems with the product to sift... may your Tech run this through clean install and add each update to identify what, if any. are the cause of the problem?
