Hi!We've got a new VMWare ESX 3.5 server. Now I try to set it up correct and think about backup the VMs of that server. Has anyone done a backup form VMs of ESX Server 3.5 direct into OpenAFS space? Either direct on ESX server or via Backup server from VMWare? MfG, Lars Schimmer
ESX unlike GSX or VMWare Workstation does not rely on an underlying operating system. Therefore, we don't have a public OS layer to insert AFS support into. If you want AFS support within ESX I suggest that you contact VMWare directly and see if you can setup a discussion between their engineers and the OpenAFS gatekeepers.
VMWare has some knowledge of OpenAFS from work they have done with other ESX clients. However, all of that experience is from running OpenAFS within the guest operating system within the VM.
