Implement and configure AWS Backup for VMware Cloud on AWS VM workloads

Image
In our previous post we saw the design of the AWS Backup on VMC. In this post we’re going through the implementation steps As per the design and best practice, we are going to use the ENI for the Backup traffic CREATE A VPC ENDPOINT  TO CREATE AN INTERFACE ENDPOINT FOR AN AWS SERVICE 1. Open the Amazon VPC console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/vpc    2. In the navigation pane, choose Endpoints 3. Choose Create endpoint 4. Name the endpoint   5. For Service category, choose AWS services 6. For Service name, search “ Backup ” and select “ backup-gateway ” service from the dropdown 7. For VPC, select the VPC which we used for SDDC deployment and extension 8. To create an interface endpoint for Amazon S3, you must “uncheck” Additional settings, Enable DNS name. This is because Amazon S3 does not support private DNS for interface VPC endpoints 9. For  Subnets , select one subnet per Availability Zone which we used for SDDC VMC selection  10. For Security group , sel

Steps to upgrade the Kernel in Linux



 Steps:
 1. Update the kernel
  a. use 'uname -a' to reveal current version
  b. use 'rpm -qa | grep -i kernel' - to reveal installed version
  c. cat /etc/grub.conf -> /boot/grub/grub.conf - "" ""

 2. Proper installation method is as follows:
  a. 'rpm -ivh kernel*rpm' - install a separate version

Note: Install the following kernel packages if necessary:
  a. kernel-devel* - if module compilation is necessary
  b. kernel-headers* - if recompilation is necessary


Install:
  a. rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.18-53.el5.i686.rpm  
Note: This will update GRUB (/boot/grub/grub.conf)
Note: Will also place the new kernel in the /boot file system

Examine traces in:
 a. /boot
 b. /boot/grub/grub.conf

3. Remove traces of former kernel using 'rpm -e [--nodeps]'
 a. kernel-2.6.18-8.el5 - removes older version
 b. kernel-headers-2.6.18-8.el5 - force remove ignoring dependencies 'rpm -e --nodeps kernel-headers-2.6.18-8.el5'
 c. kernel-devel-2.6.18-8.el5

4. Install new 'kernel-headers' and 'kernel-devel' packages using YUM:
 a. yum -y install kernel-headers
 b. yum -y install kernel-devel

5. Confirm that the 3 'kernel-*' packages are installed:
 a. rpm -qa | grep kernel

Note: Removal of older kernel-* packages cleans up:
 a. /boot
 b. /boot/grub/grub.conf (menu.lst)
