Hi guys,
I'm looking at how to backup vROPS 8.5.
I had a look on the best practices from VMware documentation: vRealize Operations Manager 8.4 Best Practices Guide - vRealize Operations Manager 8.4 (vmware.com)
They advise at least to bring the Cluster Offline.
I was thinking about:
- Shutdown my vROPS appliances ( 2 nodes: 1 Master & 1 Data)
- Launch the backup
- Once the backup finished => PowerOn appliances
I've few questions:
- Does the shutdown of appliance set the cluster in "Offline" mode properly?
- Do I need to stop first the "Master" appliance to stop correclty the cluster?
- What's your process of vROPS backup? How do you automate this task?
Thanks !
