This upgrade process will be the most used among those of us who have VMware vSphere environments with ESX hosts 4.0 and we want to upgrade them to ESX 4.1, since we will do it in an orderly and managed way through Update Manager, This document shows the steps we will need to update our hosts to the latest version.
I publish this document that my colleague Carlos Fuenteseca passes to me, A crack of an uncle: The storage restore groups that we could see in the old versions of Exchange 2003/2007 have disappeared with the appearance of the new version of Exchange Server 2010. In this document, we will see how to create a recovery database as well as perform a restore of an Exchange mailbox 2010 using Symantec Backup Exec 2010 and a couple of commands from the powerful Exchange server powershell 2010. As I will comment during the document, these restore options are similar with any backup software that supports Exchange Server 2010.
Algo típico de estos días es ir actualizando nuestros entornos virtuales a la versión 4.1 los que tengan VMware ESXi 4.0 y quieran migrarlos a VMware ESXi 4.1, en este documento vemos cómo actualizar los host que tengamos descentralizados de una forma rápida pero manual, lo realizaremos mediante VMware vSphere CLI (Command-Line Interface) y bajándonos el fichero a que nos permitirá dicha actualización.
In this document, we'll look at how we can upgrade our VMware vCenter environment 4.0 to VMware vCenter 4.1, eye! we will take into account that in the source installation we have the vCenter in a 32 bits and (As we know) vCenter 4.1 can only be installed in systems of 64 Bit, therefore we are going to have to migrate all the configuration of a server (x86) to another (x64). If the source server is already 64 bit there would be so much complication. Once we have updated vCenter and its components to the 4.1 we will now be able to update the ESX hosts(i) a 4.1.
If we intend to upgrade our VMware ESX hosts 4.0 or VMware ESXi 4.0 to the new version of vSphere 4.1 manually, This is, without using VMware Update Manager we can do it in a simple way. We will only have to download a couple of files, copy them to the host and apply them to update the computer, Previously we will have shut down all the virtual machines that the host runs or we have moved them to other computers and put the computer in maintenance mode.
ghettoVCB.sh is one of the few good scripts I know that can help us make copies of our VMware environment for free, This is, we will be able to make backups on both ESX and ESXi servers without a license! We can say that it behaves the same as the traditional VCB, Takes a snapshot of the virtual machine to be copied, It copies the virtual machine's files to a directory and then deletes the snapshot. ghettoVCB is a script that must be run on the VMware ESX server itself(i), we can schedule it to run using 'Cron’ or as in my case I will run it from a remote computer using the utility plink.exe. In addition, ghettoVCB stores backups in an ESX datastore(i), In this document we will see at the end how to make the backup in a Windows folder that we have thanks to NFS.
From the version 4.1 VMware vSphere, In both VMware ESX and ESXi there is a way to enable the host access mode called Tech Support Mode, We can enable access to the local console from the host itself (Local Tech Support) or enable remote access with SSH (Remote Tech Support), In addition, the good thing is that we can enable SSH access remotely from the VMware client itself.
Starting with the new version of VMware ESX 4.1 or VMware ESXi 4.1 it already supports the use of USB devices connected to our hosts and pass the redirection to virtual machines. In this document we will see how to configure it, It is very simple and can be done hot.
During Exchange installation 2010, Some default address books are created, one of them is the so-called “All Rooms” (All Rooms in case you have it in English). It's possible, that when you reorganize your address lists you delete this notebook because you are not going to use it and at this moment is when from the OWA we stop being able to see the address lists with the following error:
At last! In this document we will be able to see how to install the Web Interface server 5.3 on a Java server, in this case we will use a new Debian Lenny distribution to which we will install Apache2 and Tomcat6 to be able to run the Citrix Web Interface server, we can therefore save a Windows server with the cost that licensing will entail., Resources… thanks to my great friend Manel who has given me the clues to set it up!!! Started…
