@dashrender Yeah I agree with that. I think I will offer to do it for free this time and explain to him its a learning opportunity for me.

Looks like it's just you getting an AWS instance with them doing an install script for you? So you pay more than AWS which is already double Vultr. I'm unclear what you are getting for they money.

You need to test with raw equipment on each end of the line, not things going to the outside world. But leased lines have a line speed, there's really no need to test. Since there is nothing shared, you know you are getting the speed.

I don't remember where I found it, but there was another possible solution to fix it by changing a line in /etc/nsswitch.conf

# Default setting hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns myhostname # Noticed dns is now in front of mdns4_minimal hosts: files dns mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] myhostname

I've used the built in backup. It works great, preserving everything properly, as far as I can tell.

And maybe this is useful...

https://community.freepbx.org/t/configuring-freepbx-13-with-asterisk-11-for-sip-sms/35404

Sangoma supports SMS on their trunks at least. You always need SMS from your trunk provider.

It is only supported with a SipStation trunk (owned by Sangoma). It is not the cheapest trunk in the world for calling, but if you require SMS, it is the simplest method for setup within FreePBX.

I have not had a need to go looking for a solution for a client yet. BUt there used to be stuff out there in the PBXiaF ecosystem. I have no idea how much of their old Asterisk/FreePBX based stuff is still out there though since they sold out to 3CX also.

@anthonyh said in CentOS 7 guest on XS6.5 - Growing Hard Disk:

@momurda Huh.

lvextend -l +100%FREE -r /dev/mapper/centos-root

Seems to have done it.

I swear I ran the command multiple times. I suspect I was missing the "+" on "+100%FREE". I wonder what the difference is?

When creating an logical volume, you tell it how much space to use. While when making a change to the logical volume you need to tell it how much to add or remove. Thus the + or - when using lvchange, but not needed with lvcreate.

If you change the following registry key \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SecurityHealthService

to 3 (It should disable the Windows Defender from starting). Do you still get that message after a reboot?

~Have you considered upgrading to 2016 Exchange server?~

I tried. Management has this 0 downtime thing and won't let me do things. It's a little infuriating.

Sounds like an entirely different thread.

@markl said in Best MDM for SMB:

@carnival-boy What was the pricing like?

I vaguely remember it being in $8 per device per month range. Also, they were giving 100 free devices, but the moment you pay those go away. IE if you have 101 devices, you pay for 101 devices. if you have 100 devices you can keep it free.

@coliver Indeed, but what's interesting is how 5 drives specifically beat other quantities of the same drive in Raid 0 on the same hardware from my earlier posts ( can't link to them because Mango Lassi has been freaking out on me and doing weird stuff including not rendering the images as I scroll ).

Sorry for the late response and thanks for reporting it on our community.

@jimmy9008 said in What Is RAID 0? SAMIT Video:

I like the video; I'm not sure how helpful it is though.

Well, if you already know RAID 0. But lots of people don't, and I want to be complete.

I think it's definitely needed. Anyone who doesn't have any knowledge on the subject but is looking to learn will have a good resource in this.

You could write-output the whole command something like:

write-output "my command with all the parameters here"|out-file -filepath export.csv mycommand with all the parameters here|export-csv -path export.csv -append -notypeinformation

Or something similar (code typed on the fly, likely has a syntax error or two)

LOL - Pithos just stopped... I'm like WHAT?

Oh, it went to sleep.. oops.

As for Homelab 3 node scenario, you could choose either 3-way or 2-way replication.
3-Way replication means you have 3 copies of the data across all three hosts. 2-way replication in 3 node cluster means that:
target1 is on Node1 & Node2
target2 is on Node2 & Node3
target3 is on Node3 & Node1

And there is no need to partition the drive. We'll place a container file and mirror them across nodes.

@scottalanmiller said in FreePBX System CPU load:

Wasn't exactly a huge number, could have been just about anything for a small spike a few times.

Yeah. I was concerned because I wasn't expecting load to be greater that 0.5 when supposedly the system was idle.

I did a conference call test with it last night (the PBX itself handling the conference). Audio quality was terrible for me (softphone to PBX), but all of the participants, who called in via cell phones said the quality was fine. Not sure if these events are related. Perhaps it's just me getting anxious as I'm running out of preparation tasks before attempting to port numbers and actually deploying this thing. 🙂

@tim_g said in Port - Storage Spaces Direct (S2D): SCSI Enclosure Services (SES) needed only on HBA?:

@dashrender

RAID would be provided by SS.

He would need a controller that is pass-through.

Technically S2D is designed to be used by DAS systems (or JBODs if you like to make Scott facepalm), and not internal server storage... even though it works just fine.

There's no problem to use RAID controller instead of a basic HBA as long as you a) patch the registry (see my link below) or use special "filter" driver to report "RAID" bus (sic!) as SATA or SAS, and b) disable write-back cache on BOTH controller and disk itself, so all writes become atomic.

Storage Spaces Direct: Enabling S2D work with unsupported device types (BusType = NVMe, RAID, Fibre Channel). Part 1: Registry hack

https://www.starwindsoftware.com/blog/resolving-enable-clusters2d-bus-type-support-issue-on-some-storage-controllers

P.S. It's a BAD idea to use anything like that in production because as long as Microsoft support will discover your S2D configuration isn't supported they will pull out and walk away with a grin face.

@dustinb3403 said in Exchange migrations, scenarios to hope you're never in.:

User abuse is the only bug we can't fix with technology.

Good to know eseutil was able to correct the issue.

Even that was just very weird. The status had stopped updating and processes associated with it quit doing anything for around 20 minutes. We were both wondering what was going on when I was like "I'm going to ctrl+c it." So the cancel current command actually kicked off a whole bunch of activity that went quite quickly compared to what it had been running at before and actually repaired the DB. We were both more than a little confused over that one.
