 How to protect Host if only one hard drive installed? I have Intel Desktop Board DP965LT with Seagate 750 SATA HDD installed on ESXi 4.1. which is up and running.
4GB RAM and Core 2 Quad Q6600 processor.
Not yet on whitebox list
My worries if that hard drive would fail, how can I image or mirror that hard drive?
Planning to run at least 4 guest OS.
Hope you could help me
Thanks in advance!

Re: How to protect Host if only one hard drive installed? Do you have any other physical hosts on the network that you could use for backup?

Re: How to protect Host if only one hard drive installed? yes, I have a RAID6 file / backup server. I can enable NFS there.

Re: How to protect Host if only one hard drive installed? If you enable NFS on that host you can then mount it as a datastore. Take a look at this page for backup scripts - http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-11965. _________________Dave Mishchenko VMware vExpert 2009-2013 Now available - VMware ESXi: Planning, Implementation, and SecurityAlso available - vSphere Quick Start Guide

Re: How to protect Host if only one hard drive installed? The script requires the vCLI which can be installed on Linux or Windows.
