@scottalanmiller curious question...why are you responding to a post from Dec of 2018 made by a user who only posted that one time?

Also, because @scottalanmiller .......

Issue was fixed. Enclosure back plane was bad. A new C7000 had to be purchased and swapped out and it worked right away.

Whoa I love this. Are you still using it @BRRABill ?

Dont' use bullet/number lists in instructions and guides like this. it makes it annoying for those that want to copy and paste.

This guide is assuming that you are running as root. If not prepend everything here with sudo.

Install the salt-master package dnf install salt-master Open the required ports in the firewall firewall-cmd --add-port=4505-4506/tcp --permanent firewall-cmd --reload Enable the salt-master service to start on boow, and also start it now. systemctl enable --now salt-master.service

@DustinB3403 said in Why IT Builds a House of Cards:

Just to necro this thread, how would someone in IT actually get the business to see and understand these risks? I've tried this, explained in full detail the chances taken and I get a "thank you for telling us, but let's stay the course" sorts of responses.

Thanks for the necro. Get greeted with a comment I didn't recall making, just to look at the date 2 1/2 years ago. lol.

Then, on a second note, this article legitimately applies to me today.

@JaredBusch Yes, you were correct and we discussed this last night on the Telegram group 🙂 .

@DustinB3403 said in Testing oVirt...:

Also I feel like the most popular instructions were a blog post, rather than official documentation.

I'm not even sure they have a dedicated techwriter. This is why it is better to just follow the official RHV docs. You'll have to filter out the Red Hat specific details, like subscription-manager, but you'll definitely have a better experience

All of the hypervisors are built for this. It's the storage and clustering that may or may not be built for this. As a rule, highest performance systems are not clustered at all, the can't be. Clustering takes a performance hit.

But in the extreme performance space products like VMware and Starwind are the top dogs. Both have multiple solutions, but they are using tech like memory sharing, localized data, NVMEoF, log structuring, and others to do things that Gluster just can't do. So much so that products like Gluster sometimes use these techs on top to accelerate them (example: Starwind makes a CEPH accelerator platform.)

Yes, if you are setting physical ports to a VLAN, then they are acting like a physically different switch on those ports. So attaching another physical switch to one of those ports would make it a switch on that VLAN.

@Pete-S said in PCI Point to Point vs End to End:

If you have unencrypted LAN communication (at your servers) you are encrypted point-to-point but not end-to-end.

Thanks, I get the difference now... but now why anyone cares.

It's just that CC info can't be picked up anywhere if it's end to end encryption.

but it can - at the terminal where it's collected - at the processor who terminates the E2EE (though hopefully that's beyond extremely unlikely).

Maybe I should have said it can't be picked up in transit.

The card processors probably have more stringent requirements for infosec than PCI.

Sure, ok - in transit... but once the data gets to your payment gateway, it's not your responsibility anymore - so again, who cares... P2PE gets it to the payment gateway just as good as E2EE does to First Data or Elavon, only the payment gateway then also injects itself into the data stream for some unknown reason...

So I'm still not seeing a benefit to E2EE to the merchant.

I assume E2EE gives you some discounts.

based on what?

Just seems like the logical reason.

Here's some additional information, specifically using rclone into b2.

1 & 2. Device manager > network adapters> uninstall > reboot > automatically picked it back up upon reboot then changed the settings for the NIC.

Nice, that's what I was hoping it would do, but I've dealt with NICs not coming back up after this process. Always made it easier to just be there and watch it.

I've heard of that issue - it was a calculated risk I was willing to take to get it working.. ya know?

Edit: I'm going to put my Zabbix instance on it later and see how it does.

Databases should not be compressed!

Details as to why databases should not be compressed?

Basically because they are always open and written to incrementally. They aren't loaded and rewriteen like most files are. And they tend to be very large, so a very intensive usage pattern.

True. But this compression is being done on the Host OS, not inside the Zabbix VM. I wonder what kind of strangeness this can cause. I don't have a lot of traffic on this particular server.

That doesn't affect anything. Compression is compression.

I'll find out what kind of performance hits I take with it on ZFS. So far, I'm seeing some nice space savings and no problems with anything else.

This should be fine. I have a similar configuration with restore points and it works as designed.

Anyone have some recommended readings that might help me wrap my head around this?

Down at storage and filesystems.

This write up sums it up well. It's a "it depends." It depends because it impacts you potentially and generally isn't very important. So therefore, there is no hard and fast guideline.
