hello everybody,
i need your help please.
i have to configure a proxy backup server (VCB) and i hope to help me.
overview:
- I have 3 VMs stored on a SAN storage (EVA) with windows server.
- I have an ESX server and another physical server with windows 2003 server as a proxy server (VCB)
- A software for backup (data protector)
steps that i do:
on proxy server
- i disconnect the fibre channel and i do the following like the example of vmware document:
1 Shut down the Windows proxy.
2 Disconnect the Windows proxy from the SAN or mask all the LUNs containing VMFS volumes or RDM for virtual machines.
3 Boot the proxy and log into an account with administrator privileges.
4 Open a command‐line interface.
5 Run the diskpart utility by typing: diskpart
6automount disable
7 automount scrub
8 Exit
9 Shut down Windows.
10 Reconnect the Windows proxy to the SAN, or unmask all previously masked
LUNs containing
after that
1 Log into the VCB proxy using an account with administrator privileges.
2 Install the Consolidated Backup package by running setup.exe
3 During the installation, choose an installation directory for Consolidated Backup or accept the default one.
my question:
-During the installation i didn't receive any message to indicate the default directory (c:\mnt) but i have change the config.js file to the correct value including the default directory.
-on C directory i don't have a c:\mnt directory. what is the problem???? why this directory isn't visible and found.
-how can i check if the virtual machine is mounted on c:/mnt directory and is there any script to write to mount the VM or it is the role of VCB product??
-The LUN that contains the VM is not presented to the Proxy server, i hope to know if it is important to present this LUN or Vdisk to the VCB server???
thanks for yr help
