Hi All,
Running vCenter in a VM.
Can you someone please help me understand my own logic!!!?? All this time, I thought I was good taking snapshots of vCenter before doing anything potentially dangerous, until it dawned on me today, that if I did actually lose vCenter, or it got corrupted to a point where its inaccessbile, then how on earth would I restore the snapshot anyway as I can no longer access vCenter?
Given this, whats the recommended way to protect vCenter, seeing as HeartBeat is no longer available?
Is my only option in such a scenario to restore from a backup, i.e. log into an ESXi host directly (as I will no longer have a vCenter), create a new VM, slap an OS on it, put my backup agent on it, and restore from the last FULL backup of my vCenter server?
As usual, thanks in advance!
