Inventory and Catalog in Backup Exec

Image
What is an Inventory? An Inventory is the process of mounting media in the drive and reading the media label, which is then displayed in the Devices view. If this is the first time that Backup Exec ™ has encountered this media, the media label is also added to the Media view. Note: Each time new tape is introduced in the tape drive or robotic library, it must be inventoried so that the Backup Exec database gets updated with the new tape Information. To Inventory a Tape/Robotic Library: 1. Insert the tape 2. Click the Devices tab 3. Select the correct tape drive/robotic library slot 4. Right-click on the tape drive/robotic library slot and select Inventory (Figure 1) Figure 1

The inventory will complete and should display the correct tape name. What is a Catalog? When cataloging a tape, Backup Exec reads the header information from the tape and stores it in a file on the hard drive.

AD LDS – Syncronizing AD LDS with Active Directory

Image
First, we will install the AD LDS Instance:

1. Create and AD LDS instance by clicking Start -> Administrative Tools -> Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services Setup Wizard. The Setup Wizard appears. 2. Click Next. The Setup Options dialog box appears. For the sake of this guide, a unique instance will be the primary focus. I will have a separate post regarding AD LDS replication at some point in the near future. 3. Select A unique instance. 4. Click Next and the Instance Name dialog box appears. The instance name will help you identify and differentiate it from other instances that you may have installed on the same end point.

Update Manager 6.5 issue ""interface com.vmware.vim.binding.integrity.VcIntegrity is not visible from class loader""

Image
This post is related to the issue what we faced today when we replaced the SSL certificates in our setup. 
When I launched the web-client and access the update manager tab,  I get the message  "interface com.vmware.vim.binding.integrity.VcIntegrity is not visible from class loader"





I started off by restarting the VMWare vSphere Update Manager Service for the affected vCSA:
1. Log into vCenter using the administrator@vsphere.local account. 2. Home - System Configuration - Services - Restart



This did not resolve my issue... And we tried restarting all the services by SSH/Console into the affected server and run the following commands:
service-control --stop --all service-control --start --all Still no luck. 
Make sure the certs are applied and it gets reflected in the config file. ( verify if the thumbprint matches) 
root@homelab71 [ /usr/lib/vmware-updatemgr/bin ]# pwd /usr/lib/vmware-updatemgr/bin
root@homelab71 [ /usr/lib/vmware-updatemgr/bin ]# ./updatemgr-util config -g | less
