Hot Swap Drives-Linux To Windows-VMWare Images

Posted by support | GSX, Linux, Microsoft, VMWare | Sunday 10 September 2006 8:03 am

Overview
Servers: 2 Dell 1420SC with 500 Gigs per server SATA Drives (250 Gigs Ea)
Hot Drive: Maxtor IDE USB External Drive
Plan: Complete Virtual Image Backups to an external drive.
Downtime: 1 hour per 60 Gigs if you are using SCSI 320 or USB 2.0

Easy Way:
Lab01: FAT 32 File System.
This is the easiest way to copy the VM images to the external hard drive. Both Windows and Red Hat Enterprise 4 know this file system and will mount it with no issues. The only issue is that FAT32 will only allow 32 Gigs per partition. If security is needed this is not the way to go.
