Virtual Iron manager Restore Practice

Virtual Iron前幾年已經被Oracle買走了，所有的support都收回oracle，可惜VI就此消失了...

日前忽然停電，UPS撐不住，全斷電，VI Manager開起來後，裡面所有的VM都不見了，呼~~~嚇死人了....

還好問了Google大神後查到了這篇文章，http://www.trialworks.com/wiki/index.php?title=VirtualIron

其中我利用了Restore那段
Restore
Performing a backup and restore of the Virtualization Manager.
The Virtual Iron system backup policy performs daily backups of the Virtualization Manager installation. The default behavior is to perform a system backup at 2:00 AM and to keep the last ten backup files. The default backup location is the following directory on the management node:
Windows: C:\Program Files\VirtualIron\backup\
These parameters are configurable in the Virtualization Manager Console, "Policies and Reports" view. You can create a new system backup anytime you like by clicking the "Backup Now" button on the system backup policy.
The naming convention for system backup files is: backup.${YEAR}${MONTH}${DAY}${TIME}.${VERSION}.tar
To restore a backup, follow this procedure:

These backup files are tar files but they cannot be restored by simply untarring them in the VirtualizationManager directory. The proper way to restore a backup is to first make sure the Virtualization Manager is not running, then running these commands in a command prompt with root or Administrator privileges:

Windows:
cd c:\Program Files\VirtualIron\restore.bat backup\backup.${YEAR}${MONTH}${DAY}${TIME}.${VERSION}.tar

我是這樣做的:

1. Stop the Virtualization Manager Service
2. cd \program files\virtualiron
3. restore.bat backup\backup.${YEAR}${MONTH}${DAY}${TIME}.${VERSION}.tar
   說明：切換到restore.bat的路徑，restore.bat後面跟的參數就是一個tar的檔，長的像這樣： backup.201206280200.4.5.16.11.tar
4. Start the VirtualizationManager Service

這樣就可以將VI設定restore回來了。
