vCMP Guest Archives

Hi All

 

I have recently installed Viprions with vCMP guests.

 

What I am noticing is that the vCMP archives are almost 10 times bigger in size as to that of a physical device. What is different between the backups of a physical device and a vCMP guest that would cause the big increase in archive?

  • Check if you have multiple EPSEC packages installed in your guest. Those are (unnecessarily, for most) included in the UCS. And that increase massively the size of the ucs. There's a BUgID pending by F5 to change that behaviour.
