VMware Data Recovery – install and configure video- part1

VMWARE-DATA-RECOVERYI'm trying to have a look at the new backup solution from VMware – vSphere DATA Recovery. VMware VDR It's available since vSphere came out as a part or the SMB package – VMware Essentials Plus.

At the same time as I'm learning, I'm doing some videos on it so I hope you guys that you'll like it. I suppose that you have already installed ESX 4 and vCenter. In my home lab configuration I installed vCenter inside of a VM, so I “saved” one physical machine.

I'm having one physical white box where I'm running ESX 4, and I have another physical box where I run Openfiler. If I'd have second ESX 4 server available I could protect this VM with HA (high availability).

As you will see VMware Data Recovery is a VM. It's virtual appliance (OVF package mady by VMware Studio) which is deployed inside of your virtual infrastructure.

In this first video you'll see:

– Installation of VMware DATA recovery
– Deployment of the VM appliance from the OVF package
– Basic log on and networking configuration

UPDATE: Excuse me for an error you see for the login information inside the video. The correct login informations by defaults are:

login: root
password: vmw@re and not vmw@are

Part 2 video is available now too… Click here to see the part 2

      Hi Carlo,

      The exact model of MB I can’t remember, it’s an MSI I think and there is a SATA storage and Core 2 duo Intel processor…. it’s hooked to Openfiler via iSCSI…
      I’ll do a blog post this week end…with the exact specs.

    Thanks! Great information. Would you mind telling me what you are using for your whitebox? I'm wanting to upgrade to a system that will run ESX 4 but I'm not sure what to get.
