Symantec LiveState 2013 R2 & ESXI Free -> VM-Based and/or Cold Image Possible?
Hello, We have inherited a Server running ESXI Free and a single VM with Server 2012R2 -Recognizing the limitations inherent in the Free Edition in terms of protecting the ESXI, is at least possible to install 2013R2 w/in the Virtual Machine and successfully back it up to external storage for DR Consideration? -Model would be if total server failure at least 2012 Server can be saved and restored to different machine via V2P -Apparently VM does have standard Backup Exec on it currently that running - did not know if this would extend to 2013 R2 -Additionally to get an entire image of the machine can the entire Drive be imaged via Cold Boot with new version of SRD Thank you very much
booting from a cloned hard on a laptop
Hi, I cloned a linux CentOS hard drive of a server PC which included a LVM. Then I connected my external hard to the usb port of my laptop. I wanted to boot my laptop from the CentOS of external hard so i could use the programs which were installed on PC.So I restarted the laptop and press F11 button to select the desired OS. I can see the CentOS of external hard but when select it the following message appears: ========================================= Booting 'CentOS (2.6.18-308.24.1.e15)' root (hd0,0) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-308.24.1.e15 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet [Linux-bzImage, setup=0x1e00, size=0x1cf514] initrd /initrd 0 0x37e62000, 0x18d36e bytes] Memory for crash kernel (0x0 to 0x0) notwithin permissible range Red Hat nash version 5.1.19.6 starting unable to access resume device (/dev/VolGroop00/LogVol101) mount: could not find filesystem '/dev/root' setuproot: moving /dev failed: No such file or directory setuproot: error mounting /proc: No such file or directory setuproot: error mounting /sys: No such file or directory switchroot: mount failed: No such file or directory kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! ============================================ by the way, when i log in to windows of my laptop and use Virtual Box, i can mount both boot and lvm partition of external hard and i can see the content of lvm and the programs of my interest.but i cant run the programs. Thanks in advance
SSR 2013 P2V conversion with multiple drives, without sv2i file ?
I have a pair of SSR 2013 backup files for a single Windows 2003 server - one v2i file containing the C drive image, another v2i file containing the D drive image. When I use the SSR 2013 P2V one time conversion wizard, it appears it's not possible to select both C and D backup files to create a single VMDK to push to the ESXi server?
SSR 2013 virual conversion to Esxi 5x issue
All, I just converted a backup image from an SBS 2003 (made with SSR 2011) with SSR 2013 to an esxi 5 server. The conversion went successful but the converted server does not show up in in the esx inventory... The VM does show in the datastore. I tried to add the server to the inventory but the key (right-click) is grayed out. Any advise is welcome. Greetings, Mike
