  MS licensing on Sharepoint is as easy as licensing gets. It can't be more straightforward. https://products.office.com/en-us/sharepoint/sharepoint-licensing-overview "For On-Premises, intranet sites are licensed using a Server/CAL (Client Access License) model. SharePoint Server 2019 is required for each running instance of the software, and CALs are required for each person or device accessing a SharePoint Server." It's that simple. CALs are requires for each person or device accessing SP. That's it. Nothing more or less. It's not just easy, but exactly what you'd logically expect the licensing to do if they were being rational.

  Register the drives on WDs site, then submit them for replacement. I've done a bunch of those. If you don't know the server they were in and can't go through the Dell warranty, then yeah you need to go through WD, or call Dell to see if they recorded which drive serial number goes with which Dell Tag #.

  1 .So can ovirt be run with only 2 nodes? 2. With those 2 nodes, do you need a separate shared storage device for live migrations, etc, or can you have local storage (Like "vsan")?

I can't stand Sophos firewalls.... guess what they use at work. No prizes. Yeeez, what can't you stand about them? The subscription, and the over-complication of settings by making everything objects instead of ip addresses and ports. Takes 5x to long finding what current settings are, let alone change something. I actually like it. If you need to make a change, you can make the change on the object and the rules are already applied.

I had put an extra * between the toggle code and the extension. Which interestingly enough still worked to allow an agent to login/out but didn't work with the BLF hints apparently. Once I changed as per the link you referenced it worked as expected. For those that are interested I changed the BLF value in the EPM definition to : *45__line1Ext__*730 (no * between *45 and the extension number): Now a core show hints displays : *45250*[email protected]: Custom:QUEUE250*730 State:Idle Presence:not_set Watchers 1

  If you have a primary/failover type set up take a look at Peplink Balance products. They can do outside IP address translations and forwarding such that packets coming in on say 66.0.0.1 (Carrier A) can be sent to ip 12.0.0.1 (Carrier with in the device. They are expensive; but worth it. We used to use a Peplink Balance 580 here to both load balance between a (then ) Level 3 (Primary) and Time Warner (secondary) circuit but also to fail over; traffic would be re-directed via DNS (ether SRV secondary records or "round robin") to the secondary provider and the Balance 580 would essential NAT the address to the primary carrier's IP (on our equipment). https://www.peplink.com/company/peplink-enterprise-features/

  @Dashrender said in System Image Disappearing/Reappearing: @G-I-Jones said in System Image Disappearing/Reappearing: The only thing I can think of, which is most likely not correct, is that Windows reads the WindowsImageBackup folder alphabetically. That is to say since LABS comes before LENOVOLAP alphabetically, it hits the Windows 10 image in LENOVOLAP and then says "nope, everything else after this is null" and then doesn't even get to STAFF? I dunno man, it's weird. Yeah, it's a super basic tool, it's probably not expecting more than a single backup in the directory. ^^ This sounds like what's happening. If you're tied down to using an external drive and $0 tools, maybe consider using clonezilla or the Veeam's free windows agent. If you've got an afternoon and space for a linux VM (or even just a decommissioned desktop / server for a Proof of Concept test) take a look at FOG (https://fogproject.org/).

  I don't know how Starwind vSAN can be run but if it's on a hypervisor it's severely limited by I/O congestion through the kernel. NVMe drives is causing problems that was of no concern whatsoever with spinners. Both KVM and Xen has made a lot of work to limit their I/O latency and use polling techniques now but it's still a problem. That's why you really need SR-IOV on NVMe drives so any VM can bypass the hypervisor and just have it's own kernel to slow things down. Anton: There are no problems with polling these days You normally spawn a SPDK-enabled VM (Linux is unbeatable here as most of the new gen I/O development happens there) and pass thru RDMA-capable network hardware (virtual function with SR-IOV or whole card with PCIe pass-thru, this is really irrelevant...) and NMVe drives and... magic starts happening This is how our NVMe-oF target works on ESXi & Hyper-V (KVM & Xen have no benefits here architecturally, this is where you're either wrong or I failed to get your arguments). It's possible to port SPDK into Windows user-mode but lack of NVMe and NIC polling drivers takes away all the fun: to move the same amount of data we normally use ~4x more CPU horsepower on "Pure Windows" Vs. "Linux-SPDK-VM-on-Windows" models. Microsoft is trying to bring SPDK to Windows kernel (so does VMware from what I know), but it needs a lot of work from NIC and NVMe engineers and... nobody wants to contribute. Really. Just my $0.02

Not to anyone from outside the immediate area. Let alone another country halfway around the world.

  @notverypunny said in XenServer Supplemental Packs: @DustinB3403 said in XenServer Supplemental Packs: @notverypunny said in XenServer Supplemental Packs: @DustinB3403 Going through the 7.1 version of the same thing right now. Not much is making it through this sinus headache / migraine though.... Maybe another coffee will help. From what I see on the XCP-ng forum they're trying to move away from the notion of supplemental packs in favor of standard rpms. Yup, because SPs are essentially private, where as the entire XCP-ng project is FOSS. It makes it way easier to just run yum install <something> and keep it all updated with the yum upgrade Makes perfect sense for the XCP-ng project, but playing with yum and adding repos would put our hosts in an unsupported state with Citrix. Other way I might be able to do this is some sort of query over SSH from a linux machine to the bare-metal (Dell idrac) and / or the XenServer install. FusionInventory does wonders with SNMP for network devices and printers but I haven't seen anything that applies to my setup. You'll have to build an SP, and use that to ensure you can maintain your support from Citrix. Nothing else would fly with them.

  @wrx7m that vendor sounds like GE or UTC. These companies employ the most ridiculous procedures and requirements in the name of security. I think it all comes down from gov oversight, so dumbasses on top audit you, then you need to implement some retarded procedure that does nothing, but makes lives miserable for everyone you deal with.

  @openit said in CompTIA Linux+ LX0-103/104 or XK0-004? free training?: On other hand, I'm looking for free or cheaper training, in which whole course content matches the updated/latest Linux+ exam, so I can take the certification. I had a look on Cybrary.it but it doesn't seems to be covering all topics from certification syllabus. I find Cybrary to be a complete waste of time. Their courses are outdated and quite frankly suck! Don't even bother. I recommend Udemy where courses are around $10-20. They are rated by many people and you can get a good idea about the course through reviews before buying. We are IT professionals here, and dont have time to try to save $10 and waste hours of time looking at useless material like cybrary or incomplete and incorrect data that can be on youtube and other untested sources. Subscription based training is also bad IMO since there is no incentive to make each course be the best in it's category. No competition on a platform like Udemy.
