Hello all, I have an opensolaris server which is used as an iscsi SAN on snv_122. I am then using two ESXi boxes to connect to them and this is where the storage for the virtual machines lies. On here are several vm''s including linux and windows servers. We have another server which is almost exactly the same except it has fewer hard disks in a raidz2 setup as the other server is all in raid 10. The vm files for each of the OS''s do not need to be changed often as they will not change very much but the lun''s they connect to do need to be updated as there are multiple databases (mysql and exchange databases/logs) there are also files from a file server vm. I need to backup the virtual machines as well as their respective data and backup the main server''s configuration, i.e. comstar settings and making it so that if s*** hits the fan I just point the esx servers to the new box and we are up and running. The next issue is then backing this all up to tape and making it so that it is not impossible to recover if people do their standard bone headed things. Does anyone have any ideas on how to do this? I was first thinking rsync or zfs send/receive. Thanks, Greg -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
