• easyvcb 1.5 file released: easyVCB-1.5.zip

  CHANGE HOSTORY ------------------------------------------------ Schlomo Schapiro <easyvcb@schlomo.schapiro.org> [GSS] Version 1.5 ------------------------------------------------ 2008-12-05GSS - fixed bug where CUSTOMFIELDIDS was not initialized correctly when not using --tag - fixed some mistakes in the distribution easyVCB.conf file comments. 2008-11-21GSS - fixed VMDK info messages and size calculation during VCB to actually report all VMDK files and not only the last one. NOTE: The transferstatistics.csv file format changed and does not list any more the VMDK file names. 2008-11-06GSS - fixed VMDK size display and statistics. It should work now for all VMDK formats - add feature to remove missing VMDKs in our modified VMX file to prevent error messages and manual configuration work when powering on a VM that had independant disks (e.g. large data disk that was excluded from VCB). - add feature to not search for old VM dir in export area by UUID but simply take the existing VM path. This is important for VMs that are recreated regularly (e.g. automated P2V VMs) with a different UUID but the same VM path. 2008-10-30GSS - fixed MAILFROM error with undefined USERDNSDOMAIN - list custom field attributes in easyvcb-find.pl - add feature to convert monolithicFlat VMDKs to VMFS VMDKs for running VMs over NFS on ESX (the conversion is only in the VMDK description and only in the EXPORTROOT area) 2008-09-15GSS - modified to work with VI Perl SDK 1.6 (get_inventory_path($object,$object->vim) Version 1.4 ------------------------------------------------ 2008-07-08GSS - add support for disabling free space dependant removal of old backups (set free space requirements to 0 to disable it) - minor (optical) bugfixes Version 1.3 ------------------------------------------------ 2008-06-27GSS - fixed a bug introduced in 1.2 (subdirs in export dir missing) Version 1.2 ------------------------------------------------ 2008-06-24GSS - fixed some really stupid bugs (total run time was negative) - log file removal should remove correct amount of logs - do not mention amount of error/warning lines in email subject (because it does not relate to the amount of failed VM) 2008-06-20GSS - Improved handling of weird VM names (which need to be sanitized by changing all \/:%$ to _) - Backup directory is now named after the VM path to support same-named VMs in different folders 2008-06-18GSS - Changed getdiskfree() to use DIR to be more portable and also support network drives - Fixed a bug in vmware.pm to skip VMs that do not have a valid config property - Create export dir with optimized VC folder path (without the /vm/ part) - Do post-backup tasks only if vcbmounter was successful - Write out VCB disk file transfer statistics in log directory (CSV file) - vcbmounter log file uses full VM path to support same-named VMs in different folders - added "summary" version of result email (send summary information if all OK) Version 1.1 ------------------------------------------------ Internal version, never released Version 1.0 ------------------------------------------------ 2008-06-02 GSS Release 1.0 - first working version 2008-06-04GSS - Changed get getdiskfree() to use Windows fsutil.exe instead of API calls because VMware Perl does not support the "Q" (long long, 64bit Integer) pack data type which is required to use the GetDiskFreeSpaceEx function in kernel32.dll - Added createlocalvmx() to create a VMware Server compatible VMX file to facilitate instant disaster recovery.
