Hotadd backup method explanation ?

$

0

Hi All,

 

My goal is to make the backup of VM faster since most of the

VM is in the MD3000i_SAN VMFS and between the ESXi host is direct connection to

the both ESXi1 and ESXi2

 

 

 

I’d like to get clarification in using VCB v1.5 update 1 ESXi

VM backup with –hotadd method in vSphere 4 (All server is ESXi 4)

 

 

 

According to: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1004358

Do I have to do the settings as follows:

 

 

 

  1. Windows Server 2003 x64 Std. VM +
               VCB Framework deployed on the ESXi1 and ESXi2 local SATA Datastore, namely VCBProxy01
               and VCBProxy02

  2. Empty VM created on both ESXi1
               and ESXi2 namely VCBProxy01(VCB-HELPER) and VCBProxy02 VCBProxy01(VCB-HELPER).

 

but then I got lost in the backup job selection list (see

attachment) as I could not select which items to select and

 

and in the Media Set selection of which location to select

as the backup directory ?

 

 

 

Any idea of how to do the hotadd method of multiple VM

(online & offline) through command line please ?

 

 

 

Or should I select –SAN mode instead ?

 

 

 

 

Kind Regards,

AWT
