MySQL seems to be completely hosed. I'm going to have to rebuild the server, as restoring from backups even a week ago, even at the VM level, is not working!

My thinking was more along @scottalanmiller's this time... But like everything "it depends" on what the server does. For a File Server, or an application server (Exchange, et al) that we previously mentioned, to me an agent would make more sense.

However, I thought that restoring to different hardware was actually a function of the restore process, and not necessarily part of the backup process. (I guess it depends on what backup software we are talking about).

Your first, and thus main, backup should always be the entire VM for anything.

If you then need some of the features a backup from inside the OS gives you, then make secondary backups there.

Veeam can be made application aware and issue commands inside the guest to ensure the specified application is in a state for a valid recovery. I would assume that Unitrends has similar functionality, but no idea.

And it is fixed. Almost 2 hours later. Not too bad.

If the download will ever finish.

Feel free to delete this post from this thread 🙂

Hmmmm... how many Euros I wonder?

about 1,400

I hate when I jump over a fence and find out, too late, that it is a brown field.

Yes, Pertino can go directly on the "new" installs of UEB. Not if you have an old CentOS 5 one. You can always reinstall now.

I guess the new beta's are likely CentOS 7?

Pretty sure it's CentOS6

I hear it is just a change in name plus a few more things borked.

The UI is a bit different and so will the program name be different.

Well that explains everything 🙂

@IRJ If you still have the old computer available, go back and export as a PFX and see if it will import properly then?

Well, this problem came back over the weekend. I just couldn't believe it. So got back on the phone with Dell...this time, they noticed in the BIOS we had a setting enabled called Performance Per Watt (DAPC)...they had me change that to just PERFORMANCE and the tech was almost certain this problem will be gone.

I crossed check through some searches and I do see a lot of posts where Performance Per Watt (DAPC) had an affect on Hyper-V, so feeling a little better about this now.

@handsofqwerty Yes now it is working properly and now the service is started and I have joined this machine in nagios now.Thank you now it is working properly.

Ok, it's usually something simple like that. I run in root mode all the time on all my Linux machines, so I constantly forget to tell people to use "sudo" because I never have to...

One of the problems of coming from a "root" system like RHEL or CentOS and switching to a "sudo" system like Ubuntu. Need everything prefaced with sudo.

My issue is with the Wordpress utility for Linux that allows you to manage Wordpress via CLI. There are so many things you have to either be root or using sudo to do, but you have to append "--allow-root" to every freaking command that you run as root, even if the command requires root privileges to do what it needs to. It's so stupid!

@scottalanmiller The amount of feature upgrades they do monthly is fantastic. I've never been disappointed in their product. Support is pretty damn quick as well.

LIke a good programmer...@robert is there!

@tonyshowoff Nicely worded!

I loved the part about SEO. It's easy to forget why you want the search engines to find you. Customers always want to go on and on about how cool they are and forget the surfer is looking for Great content first.

Seems appropriate

Looks like a lot of fun!

The best line: There is little more terrifying than watching a 300K storage device launch a windows PXE installer.

It just blow my mind that people would trust Cisco with storage (or servers.) But a $300K storage device? Ouch. And one that installs anything it sees on the network by default? What is driving people to even talk to a networking company to be their SAN vendor?

It turned out, completely by coincidence, that my office in San Francisco is right by them. So I walk past them sometimes.

The FreeNAS community really shows just how important it is to avoid products like FreeNAS. It's built on good tech, but the issues are that the community is horrible, only tiny non-storage expert shops use it and it is broadly misunderstood. FreeNAS doesn't make any of the technology, they just repackage it. So the vendor and their community all lack the basic knowledge of what they have and the stuff that they repeat just gets worse and worse.

If this was the FreeBSD community, talking about the same technologies, the answers and approaches would be completely different. Enterprises use FreeBSD every day. They do not use FreeNAS. Once you limit yourself to a "non-expert" product, the idea of using a community for assistance causes a breakdown in dangerous ways.

Learned a lot about RAID from you, it's been fun to learn! Now can you teach me how to get a job as a hardware monkey? 😄
