Veeam Backup and VIX libraries: howto backup networkless VMs using VSS

Luca Dell'Oca, June 25, 2013December 4, 2016

Microsoft VSS libraries are a smart way of doing backup, in order to guarantee a consistent backup of applications supporting them.
Veeam can do backups without the help of permanent agents inside the virtual machines, anyway if you want to do a VSS-based backup, Veeam deployes (and removes when the backup is completed) a small agent in the Windows VM in order to cohordinate VSS tasks. Usually, this is done by connecting to the target VM via network.
But, what happens when for any reason Veeam is in another network of the one used by the virtual machine, or they cannot communicate to each other?
In these situations Veeam can leverage VMware VIX libraries, that allow for direct interaction between the guest operating system inside a VM using the hypervisor running it, without any need for network connectivity.

Luca Dell'Oca, June 25, 2013December 4, 2016

Da quando Microsoft ha introdotto le funzioni VSS, è diventata buona norma utilizzare queste librerie per garantire un backup consistente degli applicativi che le supportano. Veeam effettua i backup senza l’uso di agent permanenti nelle virtual machine, tuttavia in caso si voglia realizzare un backup tramite VSS, Veeam provvede a…

Howto convert a physical RDM into a VMDK disk

Luca Dell'Oca, June 17, 2013December 4, 2016

I’m working with a customer to refresh his VMware infrastructure. At the moment, the platform is based on ESX 3.5 and vCenter 2.5, so it’s pretty old. The upgrade phase is not going to be a problem, but the customer in the past has followed too much some old reccomendations,…

Convertire un physical RDM in un disco VMDK

Luca Dell'Oca, June 17, 2013December 4, 2016

Sto lavorando presso un cliente a un progetto di rinnovo tecnologico della sua infrastruttura VMware. Attualmente, la piattaforma è basata su ESX 3.5 e vCenter 2.5, quindi parecchio arretrata. La fase di aggiornamenti vari non è un problema, se non che seguendo forse troppo alla lettera alcune raccomandazioni del passato,…
