With vSphere test/recovery replication all while keeping the main site online.

Hi guys. niot sure if I'm missing something really obvious.

From what I can understand tha base "recovery process" in vSphere Replication5.1 implies the following workflow

However, our profession demands that we test the ability to recover the VMs selected the site of DR then than DO NOT impact main site.

Is this possible without SRM / table to database replication / replication of VEEAM?

Our installation program

VCenter PROD (dedicated VLAN x)

VR PROD device (including VLAN, dedicated)

PROD-HA and DRS Cluster

Guest PROD networking (VLAN z)

DR VCenter (dedicated Vlan X)

VR PROD device (including VLAN, dedicated)

PROD-HA and DRS Cluster

PROD comments Networking (VLAN, isolated, cannot drive to the main site)

No RS and no possibility to use the replication table according to preverred, no Budget for VEEAM replciation.

MUST BE DONE, while the primary site remains fully alive >

Basic procedure to test recovery to DR and come back if I understand correctly >

1 tasks replication setup (fact)

2 access to the web in VCENTER DR > Pause/Stop replication on the virtual machines, we want to retrieve.

3 web access in VCENTER DR > retrieve DR virtual machines using 'recover with the latest changes' (Show stop as primary/Source VM needs to go down)

3 assuming that it is a path last step 3, we intend to move guests picked up at DR VLAN, one port groups and reconfigure the Ips using Powershell process mass

4 active Directory and DNS will be changed to Dr. TEST Site to make usable salvaged customers.

test to DR on revovered VMs in DR VLan 5 users, so this should be route back or affect the site of PROD.

6 not recovered VMs to the main site. This required once more primal VMs being to low or EVEN be removed from the inventory!

Procedure here

VMware vSphere 5.1

Looks like so there is no way to use vSphere replication to TEST the abilty to toggle, unless you can share the secrets with me.

If you are using vSphere replication without SRM above it, recovery Test is not available. The process, you can follow in case you do not want your main Web site:

(1) perform a recovery using the second option (retrieve by using the latest available data). In this way you will not have to power off of the VMs source and your main site will be online.

(2) when the recovery is complete, stop the replications (which will be in a State of recovery)

(3) power off VMs recovered, unsubscribe them inventory of VC, but keep the files of disk intact.

(4) manually configure all repetitions using disks that have been left in the form of initial seeds. This will cause the changes to synchronize.

In step 4 of ease, you can use the multi-vm replication configuration wizard vSphere. Just make sure that the data store target each disk that will be used as initial copy is put in the folder with the name of the virtual computer. Then, you could try to configure all virtual machines at once, performing the search of seeds and confirming to use.

  • How to make the background transparent semi while keeping the text opaque

    I would like to bring to the text from Word (and the web) which is already a hypertext link in InDesign. How can I do it while keeping the links active?

    Whenever I have to copy and paste from the web or Word it removes hyperlinks.  And when I try to do in 'Place' ing a Word document in my InDesign project that it retains formatting with it, the rectangles around the text.

    I have the latest version of InDesign.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Copy-paste might not include the shaped. A regular import using square is the best way.

    The rectangles around the hyperlinks are just to indicate that they are links - they do not print, but they appear in your PDF.

    You can delete them by double clicking on the hyperlink in the hyperlinks Panel and select "Rectangle Invisible" as the type.

    In general, Word formatting of hyperlinks - blue text, underline - with a character Style. If you want to remove or change the formatting, all you have to do is to change the character style. My experience, however, is that you need to check all the hyperlinks because no reason apparent, sometimes they appear in the document without the character style.

  • How can I change the owner of a Mac while keeping the software?

    Hello

    I saw online sales of used sellers Mac with the included software. A part of the software includes Adobe CS6 Master Collection, Final Cut Pro X, Microsoft Office, etc.

    If I buy the laptop, how I would change the possession of the laptop to me while keeping the software on the computer?

    If I have to use my Apple ID, wouldn't that let me use Final Cut Pro as it is allowed to the former owner ID and not mine?

    In addition, is there advice on how to move from Final Cut Pro X (and other software) to another Mac if I happen to get another?

    Thank you

    Matthew

    Unless sellers are explicitly including transfers of software license, you cannot continue to use the software without eventually getting into trouble. Adobe CS apps can be installed on multiple machines, but they cannot be activated on two. If the 'included' software has already been activated by the previous owner, you won't be able to use it.

    The inclusion of the high-end systems used on applications should be a red flag: avoid sellers.

    I can't help you with this specific issue, but if you can get it is resolved and you can read the product key 25 character Microsoft Windows on the bottom of your PC, do your own installation of W7 media to reinstall W7.

    Here's how:

    If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

    Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

    Or use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB compilation method.

    http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

    Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

    The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

    Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

    Baba HT

    Hi Baba,

    Here are some step by step instructions that show you how to achieve this effect very easily thanks to the quick selection tool and a white adjustment layer to black & white.

    1. open your image in Photoshop. In the toolbar, click the Quick Selection tool and select your topic.

    2 go to Select > refine edge and use the dialog box to clean up your selection - I activated the option Smart Radius and increases the radius of the selection. When you are finished, click OK.

    3 go to Select > Inverse.

    4. locate the Control Panel settings - default, it must be located above the layers (in CS6) Panel, but if you don't, go to window > adjustments. Click the black & white setting icon, as shown below. Your subject will remain in color, but the parameter should turn black and white, as you can see below.

    For more information on the use of adjustment layers, here's a little video happening on the basics:

    If you have any other questions, feel free to post a reply!

    See you soon,.

  • With vSphere 5.5 replication disaster recovery test

    I have a few virtual machines in our site of DR using a 24-hour RPO.  We will test by recovering virtual machines remotely, without affecting the production of virtual machines on our local site by selecting the option 'recover with the latest available data.  My question is after the replication can I 'pause' instead of 'stop' the task of replication during this test, so that after our test, I can resume the replication tasks?  This would cause a problem?  I don't want something to happen to the production of virtual machines on the side of the source.

    Hello

    Currently Failover Test + Test cleanup function, without having to make a break or stop replication only works in VR, if using MRS. above it.

    RV without SRM, after failover, the only possible option is to stop replication. Perform the failover consolidates replica records in the target data warehouses and prepares the virtual machine configuration files.

    Yet after the replication is stopped, you can:

    -power off the virtual machine on the recovery after done with the test site

    -Remove the vCenter site recovery, leaving records in the target VM data stores

    -set up replication again and that it points to the existing disks in the warehouses of data target

    Although the UI will display 'Initial full sync', really VR calculates checksums and only changed disk blocks are transferred from the protected site.

    Kind regards

    How can I do all three and the link to my new Windows 7 for my new hardware?

    Hello

    You can not do

    the old hard disk contains the drivers for the motherboard that is old and in all likelihood will not start when it is installed with the new motherboard

    a clean install is normally required when changing motherboards

    __________________________________________________________

    and I think that you should also read this on the granting of licences and motherboards:

    If you have a license to OEM preinstalled, DELL, HP, etc any update at the Board level or changes must be done jointly with the computer manufacturer

    an OEM license is linked to the original tho hardware it is installed on this computer life

    When the computer dies the license dies with him, unless the manufacturer is willing to help you

    If you have a retail license and reactivation problems:

    1. click on start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 4

    2. press enter on your keyboard

    3. Select your country.

  • How to transfer iTunes with comments and followed by names, but keep the files of the song on external hard drive?

    I have all of my music stored on an external hard drive. On my old iMac, I have iTunes with all the songs on this hard drive organized or recognized as I like, with comments and play lists and track/song names and album names. How can I transfer iTunes as it is to the old iMac to the new MacMini while leaving the actual files of the song (> 2.5 to) on the external hard drive? In short, I want the old iTunes on my new computer, but the files of the song in the current HD thank you so much.

    (2.66 GHz, 4 GB RAM 20 "iMac; 2014 new Mac Mini)

    Hmmm...   Never tried, but I "think" it should work.   The reader will need to named exactly something on the new computer, as it was on the old.

    1. on the old computer, go to {user folder} / music/iTunes and move the files on the external hard drive.

    2. on the new computer in iTunes, go to Preferences > advanced and not select "copy of the file to the iTunes Media folder.

    3. always in this same window under "iTunes Media folder location", click on change.   Now select the location on the external hard drive, you have moved the files too.

    Files to be copied.

  • How can I re size bitmap while keeping the original my png transparency?

    Greetings and regards other developers, a few quick details, I use the blackberry JDE 5.0 and Eclipse.  I am for programming multiple phones Storm2 and all models of the torch.  The display area is different between some of the phones of 480 x 360 to 800 x 480.

    I created a method of resizing of the images based on the ratio of aspect here.

    public static Bitmap AspectRatio(Bitmap bm)
          {
            int widthRatio = (int)(360 / bm.getWidth());
            int width = (int)(Utility.SCREEN_WIDTH / widthRatio);
            int heightRatio = (int)(480 / bm.getHeight());
            int height = (int)(Utility.SCREEN_HEIGHT / heightRatio);
            Bitmap temp = new Bitmap(width, height);
            bm.scaleInto(temp, Bitmap.FILTER_BILINEAR);
            return temp;
          }
    

    This method works very well until I have try with my transparent Bitmaps.

  • Make a floor (solid white) transparent while keeping the shadow

    Hello

    I have a project where I have to throw me a shadow of an actor on the ground. I have created some solid time as a floor and threw shade for my taste. I want to be able to take the floor, I created transparent everything keeping the shade.

    I tried to apply the SHIFT channels based on Luminanceand then apply the reverse effect. I either get a black ground (if I use the RGB channel) or complete transparency with no shadow seen that if I put the channel invert alpha.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Adolfo's right. You apply effects to the white layer. You just to drop a solid black below 2d then of set the blending mode to Silhouette Luma. That's all there is to it.

    I use a USB 6001 output a simple analog voltage. Right now I'm still in the process of experimenting to see how to control my blood pressure when I noticed that, after I complete my program, data acquisition is always show the last analog value.
