Menard's Laminate For Counter Tops

VMware ESX 3.5 Update 3 and VMDK Recovery Tool (Vmfs-undelete)

Besides echo the news that was released the VMware ESX 3.5 Update 3 with corrections and improvements, highlights wanted a tool that has caught my attention and which have gone on an experimental basis in this release:

Experimental Support for the Recovery Tool VMDK - This release adds support for the VMDK Recovery tool, a script Intended to help customers to recover VMFS / VMDK data stores from accidental deletion of VMFS / or physical vmdk disk data store Corruption. For more information, see VMDK Recovery Tool (ESX 3.5 Update 3) (KB 1007243).

A sort of undelete of those who did it in MS-DOS. The tool performs a backup of the list of blocks using a given VM (make a snapshot etc ...) and if you accidentally delete it (you know a click out of place or temporary insanity in front of the screen), we can recover with the collaboration tools.

Attention:

  • is experimental, but we will have to keep an eye on a few months ...
  • does not replace backups.
  • not used to ESXi
  • RDM luns not used to
Linux
