VMware VCP-410 Exam

o WebOperator – a demo web interface o Emuneration o Net – provides Telnet, FTP & POP3 o XML o Database – JDBC o Refactoring o Other plugins: o Microsoft (separate download) – WMI & Active Diretory. o VI3 (separate download) –backward compatibility o VI3.5 (Add-on located in /extras/plugins) –backward compatibility o By default, Orchestrator client search returns 20 objects at a time. o By default the Orchestrator JavaScript 640 802 Dumps engine can access only the classes in the java.util.* package. Full access to the Java virtual machine (JVM) presents potential security issues. If you require JavaScript access to a wider range of Java classes, you must set an Orchestrator system property to grant this access. o Use the Troubleshooting tab to globally reset the server & remove all traces of previous runs. Before you click a troubleshooting option, make sure the vCO server is stopped. o The default size of the server log is 5MB. VMware Consolidated Backup - Virtual Machine Backup Guide o Backup terminology: o Differential backup - Backs up only those files that have changed since the last full backup. o File-level backup - A type of backup that is defined at the level of files & folders. o Full backup - Backs up all selected files. o Full VM backup - Backs up all files that comprise the entire VM. These files include disk images, .vmx files, & so on. o Image-level (volume-level) backup - Backs up an entire storage volume. o Incremental backup - Backs up only files that have changed since the last backup, whether it is a full or incremental backup. o Quiescing - A process of bringing the on-disk data of a physical or virtual computer into a state suitable for backups. This process might include such operations such as flushing 640-802 dirty buffers from the operating system’s in-memory cache to disk, or other higher-level application-specific tasks. o VCB proxy - A physical or VM running Microsoft Windows Server 2003, VCB, & third-party backup software. Used to perform file-level & image-level VM backups. o Traditional backup approach - You deploy a backup client to every system that requires backup services. You can then regularly schedule automatic backups. o VMware VCB - enables offloaded & impact-free backups for VMs. This approach lets you use the VM snapshot technology & SAN-based data transfer in conjunction with traditional file-based backup software. If you do not have SAN, you can use VCB in the LAN mode. o Key features of VCB: o Most major backup applications integrate with VCB. o Eliminates the need for having a backup agent installed in each VM. o Can read virtual disk data directly from your SAN storage device using Fibre Channel or iSCSI, or through the ESX Server I/O stack or use a network connection to an ESX Server host. o Can run in a VM. o Supports file-level full & incremental backups for VMs running Microsoft Windows operating system & image-level backups for VMs running any operating system. o You can use VCB against a single ESX Server host or with a vCenter. o The third-party software, integration module, & VCB run on the VCB proxy, a physical or VM that has Microsoft Windows operating system installed. o Methods of accessing VM disk data: o SAN Mode – Use with Fibre Channel & iSCSI storage to completely off-load backups to a physical VCB proxy. o Hot-Add Mode – Use with any type of storage to perform backups by a VCB proxy set up in a VM. including NAS or local storage. The only exception is that it does not back up any 640 802 braindumps disks of the VM that has any independent disk, Physical Compatibility RDM, or IDE. o LAN Mode (NBD Mode) – Use when your environment does not permit the use of the SAN or Hot-Add modes. Your virtual disks cannot be larger than 1TB each. o Workflow: o Backup software calls the pre-backup script: o (Optional) Runs your custom pre-freeze script in the VM. o Quiesces the VM. o Puts the VM into snapshot mode. o Unquiesces the VM that was quiesced. o (Optional) Runs your custom post-thaw script in the VM.
