A customer asked me to provide the following solution:
The customer said:
"We want 14 servers with Embedded VMware ESXi"
futher the customer explained:
"We hope to offer redundancy using a virtualization.The plan is to create the virtual machine images of all servers and store them on central storage on a daily/weekly basis. In case of emergency the image will be loaded on the servers runing the virtual Operating System. The system should be up and running again in lessthan five minutes."
I am a master engineer in implementing HP Data Center including SAN and Storage but I am very new to vertualization especially to VMWARE.
I don't know anything about VMWARE ESXi.
Please help me unerstand the solution.
Best Regards,
Solved! Go to Solution.

SolutionThis can work, but since your going back in time so you could run into system account password authentication failures on windows based systems.

Re: Novice in VMware ESXi !
You can make a cluster in VMware so that if one physical machine goes down all the VMs would start on second machine in a very short span of time.
to backup things you have
1)snapshot
2)clone
3)template
you may have to understand the above 3 concept and they are pretty simple and quite efficient.

Re: Novice in VMware ESXi !
i think your customer should check this links to know what is included in each version :
http://blogs.vmware.com/esxi/2009/06/esxi-vs-esx-a-comparison-of-features.html
http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1015000
in my opinion, lot of customers, like to cut the budget, and see the way in virtualisation, yes sure, that is very good way, but i think not with ESXi.

Re: Novice in VMware ESXi !
This allows things like High Availability, which effectively restarts a virtual machine on another host if the underlying host fails. It allows vmotion to work which moves virtual machines between hosts depending on workloads. And allows you to do host maintenance without disruption. This is a licensed / costed product.
14 hosts is a big infrastructure. How many virtual servers are you running?
As regards backups, the virtual machines are effectively files on your SAN storage.
You'd need to start talking to your backup vendor about the options available.
You can also use SAN replication technologies to replicate the machines off-site.
