VM Manager and VM Server - backup and recovery options
Can anyone suggest a sensible backup and recovery procedure for the VM environment I am setting up.
Environment:
One physical server running the VM Manager and a single Windows 2003 guest which will be running a single Oracle RDBMS database.
An Oracle VM manager, installed on a separate linux server.
I will be backing up the Windows 2003 guest and the RDBMS in the same way as I would if it were not virtualized, so that is not part of this question.
I am interested in the backup and recovery options for the VM Manager and Server.
At this point, the recovery procedure as I see it will be to reinstal and configure the VM Server and VM Manager from our original build documentation, create a new Windows 2003 guest and then restore the database from a backup onto that.
Can anyone suggest a better way?
Many thanks
Paul
