How To Enable Networking In Xen Guests On Hetzner's New EQ Servers

By Falko Timme, HowtoForge |  Data Center/Servers, Debian, domu Add a new comment

This tutorial shows how you can enable networking in Xen guests (domU) on Hetzner's new EQ servers. With the new EQ servers, you can get up to three additional IPs that are in the same subnet as the server's main IP. The problem is that these additional IPs are bound to the MAC address of the host system (dom0) - Hetzner's routers will dump IP packets if they come from an unknown MAC address. This means we cannot use Xen's bridged mode, but must switch to Xen's routed mode where the host system (dom0) acts as the gateway for the guests.

    AppAssure vs Backup Exec

    In this new Lab Report, openBench Labs examines AppAssure backup and replication software v4.7 with Symantec Backup Exec 2010 R2. AppAssure implements changed-block tracking technology to provide data protection for both virtual and physical servers in specific OS environments. In contrast, Backup Exec 2010 R2 uses traditional file-based backup to promote compatibility with the largest number of operating systems.

    Top 5 Requirements for Backup of Virtual and Physical Servers - Greg Shields, Microsoft MVP

    Reports by leading industry analysts like Gartner, IDC and Concentrated Technology suggest virtual servers in 2011 will eclipse physical servers in total server deployments. The majority of today's business computing environments already have both virtual and physical servers at the same time.

    Guaranteeing 100% Backup Recovery

    The single biggest challenge for IT personnel involved in the data protection process is making sure that their backups are recoverable every time. Management and users won't remember the ninety-nine successful recoveries but they will always remember the one failure.

    Lab Report - Optimizing VM Backup for VMware and Hyper-V

    Data centers are becoming more difficult to manage and protect as more data and applications are moved into virtual environments. Adding fuel to the fire, CIOs must now deal with corporate mandates to build an IT infrastructure that scales to unknown demand levels and provides service assurance for fluctuating conditions that cannot be accurately projected. The solution is a transition to a private cloud characterized by a hypervisor-independent Virtual Infrastructure (VI).
