7. Enhancing VMware® ESX Server® Enhancing VMware® Infrastructure Business Continuity Service Level Driven Every application needs a backup!

8. Enhancing VMware® ESX Server® Enhancing VMware® Infrastructure VMware Backup/Recovery Challenges Reliability Recovery time Backup Overhead Shrinking backup window Disaster Recovery costs

9. Enhancing VMware® ESX Server® Enhancing VMware® Infrastructure Back Up Methods File level: – Inside the guest agents Commvault, Tivoli, Legato, Veritas – Transactional or user data Image level: – Complete copy of entire virtual machine OS, application, data, file-level agents

10. Enhancing VMware® ESX Server® Enhancing VMware® Infrastructure File Level Agents Advantages – Restore individual files – Consistent transactional data Challenges – OS recovery difficult/impossible – Guest/host resources heavily utilized

11. Enhancing VMware® ESX Server® Enhancing VMware® Infrastructure Image Level Disaster Recovery Advantages – Up and running fast – Full virtual machine captured – Simple recovery Challenges – Transactional data consistency

12. Enhancing VMware® ESX Server® Enhancing VMware® Infrastructure VMware Consolidated Backup Advantages –Image & File level backup –LAN free –Offloads backup Challenges –Script driven –Lacks feature –Still requires 3 rd Party tools Backup automation Restores! –Single target

13. Enhancing VMware® ESX Server® Enhancing VMware® Infrastructure VCB Architecture

14. Enhancing VMware® ESX Server® Enhancing VMware® Infrastructure VCB Deployment Tips 1.Proxy server must be on physical hardware 2.VCB must be licensed in VirtualCenter 3.VCB cannot be installed on VirtualCenter server 4.Windows 2003 Server, SP1 or R2 required. 5.Network connectivity between the proxy server to VirtualCenter must be available 6.Proxy server must have HBA to connect to SAN fabric Request from your SAN team that they zone the proxy server’s HBAs WWN to the same LUN(s) that are zoned for your ESX Servers 7.If multi-path is enabled, you need to collapse the two paths into one for the proxy server using your SAN client software 8.There is a need for LUN alignment The LUN ID on the VCB proxy MUST match the LUN ID seen by the ESX Server system.

15. Enhancing VMware® ESX Server® Enhancing VMware® Infrastructure esxRanger Professional V3.0 “ The Holy Grail!” – Full image backup, Differential backup – Full image restore, file level restore – VirtualCenter integrated GUI – VMotion & DRS aware – VCB integrated! Comprehensive & Automated – GUI-driven – No agents – VI3 enabled – Compression – Archiving – LAN/WAN options

16. Enhancing VMware® ESX Server® Enhancing VMware® Infrastructure esxRanger Professional GUI

17. Enhancing VMware® ESX Server® Enhancing VMware® Infrastructure Deploying esxRanger Professional Installed centrally – Windows Server (2K3 or XP) – Dot Net framework – Can be same as VirtualCenter or VCB proxy If using VCB, must be proxy server Note: VCB cannot be installed on VirtualCenter server Will launch vcbMounter process – In background – Uses export method for image backup

18. Enhancing VMware® ESX Server® Enhancing VMware® Infrastructure esxRanger Professional Standalone

19. Enhancing VMware® ESX Server® Enhancing VMware® Infrastructure Differential Backups Smaller backups – More frequency, less disk required Compares all backups – To last full image or last differential Looks for changes Records data changes & compresses data Performs backup to destination

20. Enhancing VMware® ESX Server® Enhancing VMware® Infrastructure Differentials Engine

21. Enhancing VMware® ESX Server® Enhancing VMware® Infrastructure esxRanger Professional GUI Backup in 3 easy steps! Recovery in 3 easy steps! Differential backup and restores! VCB & VC Enabled!

22. Enhancing VMware® ESX Server® Enhancing VMware® Infrastructure esxRanger Pro & VCB Integration Automates VCB Process from GUI option I/O Intercept Engine – Leverages memory pages Database and engine on esxRanger Professional server Backup and compression performed in memory – Will redirect backups from export To destination of choice (i.e. network share) Prevents need to write on proxy, read off for backup – Does not need space on proxy – Will leverage fibre channel LAN Free
