Hi,

I'm running 4 ESXi's at two locations (same company).

With 'Classic', I could run them all registered.

I currently have one DC & 3 Classic. I wish to upgrade the classic to DC but I cannot upload additional request.keys ?

Is this limited because of the license I have or is there an error on the website ('submit licences' is greyed out)

User info 22968

Regards,
Jord.

I'm sure.

SSH access to ESXi can be arranged.

The only modifications I made compared to standard setup:

1/ /etc/ssh/ssh_config 

Host 10.201.13.67
HostName 10.201.13.67
User root
Port 22
IdentityFile /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key

2/ VMware image used is optimized for specific server. Downloaded from www.dell.com.

Hi,

I selected other date & restore of other VM. Same result though.

Hello,

I've downloaded & installed XSIBackup-DC_1.5.0.13.zip. I had to re-add the linux nas. Afterwards I tried the restore from the GUI but same result as before.

I cannot copy paste from GUI, so I used screenshots.

./xsibackup --restore still works though:

[root@vmwarefabriek:~] cd /scratch/XSI/XSIBackup-DC/
[root@vmwarefabriek:/vmfs/volumes/610962c6-ebe1e03e-edf7-e43d1a102940/XSI/XSIBackup-DC] ./xsibackup --restore root@10.201.13.67:22:/data/vmwarefabriek/20210809033000/Engineering /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/Engineering

It works without the GUI:

The VM boots fine from the restored location. So it's just the GUI that's acting up.

Hello,

backups seems to be working (configured with gui) :

/scratch/XSI/XSIBackup-DC/xsibackup \
--backup=cbt \
"VMs(RUNNING)" \
"root@10.201.13.67:22:/data/vmwarefabriek" \
--config-backup \
--mail-to="ict@aquabio.be" \
--use-smtp="1" \
--verbosity="2" \
>> /scratch/XSI/XSIBackup-DC/var/log/xsibackup.log 2>&1

However, when choosing restore in the gui and browsing to date / virtual machine, all file extensions are .map and I get an error like

Could not find any backup below:
/data/vmwarefabriek/20210808033000/Engineering/
Check that there is some .vmx file in there.

Folder content:
Engineering-flat.vmdk.map  Engineering-Snapshot4.vmsn.map  Engineering.vmsd.map      Engineering.vmxf.map  Engineering.vmx~.map     vmware-1.log.map  vmware-3.log.map  vmware.log.map
Engineering.nvram.map      Engineering.vmdk.map            Engineering.vmsd.tmp.map  Engineering.vmx.map   Engineering.vmx.tmp.map  vmware-2.log.map  vmware-4.log.map

What am I doing wrong?

TIA,
Jord
