Press I to insert
Insert the following code
29 23 * * 1 /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/ghettoVCB-master/ghettoVCB.sh -a
this will run the above script every Monday at 11.29am
When ESXI reboots you will need to reinsert the code into Crontab , so you need to automate this
vi /etc/rc.local.d/local.sh
Insert the following just above Exit 0
/bin/kill $(cat /var/run/crond.pid)
/bin/echo "29 23 * * * /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/ghettoVCB-master/ghettoVCB.sh -a" >> /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root
/usr/lib/vmware/busybox/bin/busybox crond
Save using
:wq
we have to do any precaution on the server prior to ESXi upgrade ?if it is configured with ghettoVCB backup
