hehe exactly!
But the problem is not to get rid of my too big T-Log (i always just shrink files and DB and T-Log gets back to normal)
the problem is that i have to do that all few days!! (if vCenter is not running i cannot manage my vm's and my backup (BE 2012) will also not run because vCenter is not reachable) so i really need a sable vCenter Server which does not need me to clear T-Log all few days....
I just found a hint by myself. The T-Log today filled up in just 3 hours!! And i now maybe know why: one Backup ran exactly in this timeframe... so i think T-Log is so big because of "a very large DB operation" -> make a backup (i think Be2012 clones machines in the background or at least makes some snapshots and these actions are filling up my T-Log which can not be cleared until operation is finished... This reason would also fit in my first obeservation when vCenter crsahed when i wanted to make some clones manually.
If this is the case it means i need a MS-SQL License (2.5k $) to have a stable vCenter Server! WTF! Why the f** vmware does not let us use mySQL?? neighter have this issue nor need time to care about!
I mean i have an SQL Server with license but that is another server and there are our core-business application DB's which is not a good place for this. Moreover if the DB is on another Server there are two more Problems that can make vCenter stop (network, and the other server => vCenter is not idenpendant then => this also leads to problems when using vCenter to shutdown your ESXi Server when UPS switches on beacuse as soon as i shutdown my SQL Server vCenter will go down aswell...)
How you guys handle that problem? You all have SQL Server with license to have bigger DB's as 10GB? and why would vmWare suggest using SQL Express when even a simple clone fills up T-Log with 10GB of DATA??
By the way: 10GB Logs for a clone makes 0 sense... What is wrong with my setup!?
Can somebody clone a running machine and check how much bigger the log gets?
And/Or can somebody that uses SQL Express tell me if he ever had such a problem?
and anyone has some experience witch Backup Tools like Backup exec 2012 or similar and it's side effects on the T-Log?
Any help is appreciated!
