With the help of VMware ESX in a business continuity Plan

I'm looking to set up a Plan for continuity of the business using Vmware ESX. I would like to install an outside site that will duplicate a few key servers. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can do this with ESX? Is it as simple as pushing Server snapshots to the offsite location? Any ideas...

Thank you

Hello

Welcome to the forums.

I'm looking to set up a Plan for continuity of the business using Vmware ESX. I would like to install an outside site that will duplicate a few key servers. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can do this with ESX? Is it as simple as pushing Server snapshots to the offsite location? Any ideas...

One thing to know is that a snapshot in terms of "VMware" is not a full copy of the disc, it is a file that contains the changes to the drive block since the snapshot was created. Snapshots of assistance in making backups of virtual machines running, but allowing the basic disk to copy while the data is written to the snapshot. Then, you're the snapshot.

So how do DR/BC is having a good backup strategy using one of the available backup/replication tools.

There are:

Veeam Backup w/replication

Vizioncore vRanger backup and vReplicator for replication connection

EsXpress doctorate for backup (restorations of use for replication)

There is also some SRM if your San is supported, etc.

So there are a lot of options the question is how 'real time' you need the data. You could also use the replication SAN, Double Take, etc.

  • With the help of VMware CP in DMZ networks

    Hello

    I am familiar with the installation and configuration of the PC, but I have a requirement for a customer that the network consists of many DMZ networks, which are all protected by a firewall between them for safety reasons.

    Is there a way that CP can be configured for statistics before several data collectors, located within the DMZ networks to a central collector, related to the data warehouse?

    There is no way that my client can open the ports required for 'normal' data collection, and I was hoping that there would be some sort of SSL connection between the collector in the demilitarized zone and the main collector on the local network.

    The only other option would be to create a single data for each DMZ collector and record each as a separate company...

    You can do in case of problems. After you have created the company, you add can all collectors by going to the company-> save the database ID and click on the Add button. After the first synchronization, wait a few hours and create a project and associate all systems.

    I've done a few times for the same exact reason and it works fine.

    There is no built-in way to link collectors I know. I guess you could plan a robocopy to move each utbox files in a central shipping box, but it would be a pain.

  • With the help of VMWare Player in internet cafes

    I'm hoping to take a virtual machine from a development environment rudimentary vacationing European cycling for emergency repair work (SQL Server, Microsoft Access, etc.). I had intended to put the virtual machine on a S200 personal IronKey 16 GB Secure Flash Drive: https://www.ironkey.com/personal.

    I would use this VM in internet cafes. Is it possible to run the virtual machine without installing the player on PC for a coffee? For example, it is possible to rotate the player from the same flash player?

    Thank you.

    VMware Player must be properly installed on the host system. Also running the VMS in a drive USB Flash can be very slow with a lot of latency, and I wouldn't recommend well it's certainly doable.

    I have VMware 7.1.6 build 744570. With the help of 'Virtual Machine Settings' and 'Add', I am able to create a serial port as "serial port 2" and "serial port 3", but I can't create port 1 (a.k.a. com1).

    Someone at - it ideas?

    By default, the tool ThinPrint VMware uses COM1.  He is the host printer can be used without having to install specific printer drivers in the comments.  I normally do not use ThinPrint so I just remove the printer settings of the virtual machine and then when I add a Serial Port, which he defined as COM1.

    The app is designed to comply with Android Device Policy Manager, so he's going to wipe the device when receiving the order of deletion from the server.

  • With the help of Club running on the Nike watch +.

    Hello

    This is something I have tried to work for a while and have not yet been able to find an answer. At the moment I use Nike + management club on my iPhone to follow the tracks that I find that gps is better than just using the application of the workout on my watch. However, something that really bothers me is that I start the race on my phone, but I can't then view my stats while running without having to press on and tap the watch and wait for the application to load, very irritating to race. I want to be able to lift my wrist and live stats are there to watch me, not listening and not get my phone out of my pocket. Surely this is something that can make the original watch?

    As a separate issue with the new app, Nike +, it does not recognize the songs I downloaded on my phone of Apple music in my playlists, then I have to play the separatelay of music through the application of music as opposed to go with Nike +? The ides on how to fix or is this a known problem with the latest Nike + app?

    Hello

    You may find it useful to consult the support resources of Nike and/or contact Nike for assistance with the help of their application:

  • With the help of old gear series noon on El Capitan

    I have a Vox Tonelab SE effects audio Board (around 2004), there the old serial midi on the back ports. I hung with the help of a USB MIDI interface cable. While the USB Midi interface to the show in Audio / Midi set upward and also in the profile system for USB port it does not detect the Vox Tonelab so no communication lunch.

    There is a POWERPC application called ToneLabSE SoundEditor which I downloaded and installed in the hope he would install a driver but I guess that this obviously doesn't work on INTEL in any case. Using Wine I can run the PC version, but still no communication via midi.

    Someone at - it ideas, would like to get this Panel communicating effects via MIDI.

    Thank you

    Solved! Using the WINE app I've run the version of the PC of ToneLab SE editor application. So pretty unintuitively by changing the serial midi to USB, SERIAL interface cables that went to the and out on the Tonelab SE. Now of the Se ToneLab editor I can write banks of programs to hardware Tonelab, but unable to empty the banks since the material Tonelab to software. My main desire was to use Expression pedals on the Tonelab as Midi Ableton controllers and some of the switches to the control of the Looper stomp. Now I can do it all. Hooray!

    With the help of Yosemite, I like Photos app in general; have big Aperture library, although I use rarely opening Tools. Advantages, disadvantages and pitfalls related to the migration of Photos?

    Opening was a pro the Pro amateur-oriented or serious app, usually shooting Raw, probably on a digital SLR.

    If that's you then pictures will miss a lot for you.

    If this isn't the case, then opening was probably overkill for your needs.

    If you like the pictures then this is the way to go.

    With the help of Mac 10.9.4
    If I open Thunderbird, I can connect to my e-mail address and download the messages. If I select "Get Mail" once again, Thunderbird crashes and fails to connect to my emails. If I then close Thunderbird and re-open it, I'm able to immediately connect to my mail.

    It seems to have sorted itself after a few days. (Fingers crossed). Until today it worked properly. Will keep an eye on things for the next week and the report does so again.

    Install OSX 10.11.4 I do cleaning but R command will not work. With the help of USB keyboard so not wifi issues to to worry. Help?

    Would you like to share why you must do a clean install?

    You can try the recovery of the internet (which will work if your older model has been updated to enable of): hold command + Option + R until you see a progress bar (take a while). It will connect you to the Apple servers. When you see the utility window, choose disk utility to erase your disk and when you're done, choose to reinstall OS X.

    Computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery - Apple Support

    PS: Correction: I think not yours can be updated; in this case, you will need the original installation disks to wipe the drive and reinstall.
