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.

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.

@emad-r said in Need help with a batch file:

@tracy_burton

how do you solve it when it gets hung ? via task manager --> end process, if that is the case and this is working for you, then batch file will work.

However I would investigate (when I have free time) how ERP software gets feeded (mysql/basic files/what connector it uses) and see if I can try to further understand to help solve the issue.

Secondly, try replacing that Win 7 with 2008R2, and check if program runs more stably using that. I reckon there is still a way to trial 2008R2.

The new version of the ERP software runs on .net so once the upgrade is done, I don't anticipate this being an issue. It honestly is just really bad software and this is an "add-on" piece that no one in support even knows about. I've invested many many hours into trying to fix it and I'm done wasting my time. This will suffice for now.

@gjacobse said in Plantronics Voyager Bluetooth Issue:

I happen to have one:
I have issue with it from time to time... like now,. Turn it on it connects fine,.. go to voice dial - it disconnects (without voice notification)...

Biggest grip beyond that is that it falls out of my ear,.. regardless of which of the ear pads are in.
Well I can'thelp with it falling out of your ear since I do have to press mine back into the ear from time to time.

I can help I think with the disconnect issue though.
Have you used the Hub program that you can download?
It allows you to update the software and adjust the settings to your preference.

I have used this to fix a disconnect issue.
Just by changing the settings a small bit and then saving them to the earpiece.
You can then go and change them back to your previous settings once you have completed the 1st step.

I only seem to have these issues if I run the battery down to the point where it turns itself off.
Go figure.

Just the quick update seems to have fixed my glitch.
I can't guarantee that it will work as well for you but give it a try.
Plus it will help you keep the software updated to the latest level if you haven't done that yet.

It would be nice if they would give you the option of a factory reset.
I've felt all along that would work best for the problem I was having.

I hope that works for you.
When it's working properly it's hard to beat in my opinion anyway.

@emad-r said in Reset MySQL password on Fedora 26:

@dashrender

Correct, without doing any thing. And this was the first time for 2 things:

Autogen password password password.

back in the day, you install you get blank pass, and use mysql_secure_installation

You still do. No idea what you did

@wrx7m said in Webroot - Limiting Access to Shutdown Protection to Admins:

Thanks, everyone. Policies are the way to handle it.

Has anyone needed to exclude services/files/directories from being scanned by webroot? For instance, Exchange, SQL, IIS, etc?

Not really. It was recommended by some software vendors but we ignored it and everything kept humming along without issue.

Will that uninstall yum-utils? Isn't that still needed for a lot of things?

dnf-utils replaces it.

@jaredbusch said in Veeam end point free and list changed files:

Every file will be visible when you move to the next steps. Not just the files saved in the last backup. it will make it very obvious when the file was last saved.

it makes obvious AFTER your have opened the given backup not before. Here is where the iteration comes from. having a list of changes would reduce the number of iterations. but given the CBT mechanism in veeam I suppose I can't also have a CFT (changed file tracking).

@breffni-potter said in Free is never free:

Now let's look at free software. Starts with the words "I want a free thing which solves this specific problem" It could be CRM, Finance, Security, It does not matter, the problem is we often look at open source software as being fantastic because it is free.

It's important to understand that open source and free are two different concepts. It's true, much open source is free, but the two are totally different concepts. One is about access to code, one is about cost. People who believe in access to code often also believe in free, but that those two things often overlap for humans is just that they have a tendency to be shared ideals, not that they are related. Like people who like fast cars often also like comfy cars. The two aren't related, but we aren't surprised to find the two together.

If the users have assigned computers, you would use Forensit for this
https://www.forensit.com/downloads.html
I have used them very much and work well.

If you are talking about files on a file server, move the data manually from the old server to the new server and then have the users remove the data you want. Permissions will be assigned after data is copied.

As always make sure to have backups with your systems.

ListeningOn = ::1, fe80::ad99:8e4d:c356:9939%5, fe80::c0a1:571b:2955:87be%7, fe80::cda4:4841:5bff:7b5c%8, fe80::f902:5ea5:2d74:a154%3

Interesting - the server is only listening on IPv6 addresses.

Turns out IPvX filters are for the addresses that are listening (i.e. the local IP on the machine you are trying to remote into).
I set a filter like this 10.0.0.1-10.0.5.254 (where my admin machines would live).
Unfortunately, since this isn't an incoming filter (that's the firewall's job) this filter wasn't large enough to cover all of my production networks. I had 10.1.0.1-10.1.0.254 that wasn't inside the above range, and of course keep the machine from listening on it's IPv4 (the IPv6 was listening because I just left it wide open - testing, not using IPv6 in general, so left it as default (*))

So tweaking my filter to 10.0.0.1-10.0.5.254, 10.1.0.1-10.1.0.254 solved my problem.

The esp-group encryption also, but it at least still does MD5 hash.

I like Crashplan and it works well enough that I'm just going to suck it up and pay the $10 a month for the "business" edition since it works with Linux and all that jazz.

I will likely use Unison to get all my devices into a central folder on the computer that runs my crashplan backups, and then I don't have to worry about it any more.

@jaredbusch said in Asterisk iax2 Trunks Unreachable:

@alyragab said in Asterisk iax2 Trunks Unreachable:

@jaredbusch it is the same as i have wrote in the trunk settings ,
however as a temp solution for this issue i have created a cron job to run

asterisk -rvx "core restart gracefully"

but the question now is : will repeating this command affect the system badly ?.

This does not hurt anything, but it is also not resolving the issue.

it is actually activating any "unreachable" trunk to return it to the normal status , i am still searching for a permanent solution.

Now, it is telling asterisk to restart itself when there are no calls currently processing.

Asterisk restarting causes all trunks to reregister / reconnect.

So it is not activating unreachable trunks specifically.

You need to dig out the /var/logs/asterisk/full log from a day that this was failing and then go through that to find out what Asterisk is seeing when the trunk is down.

I still have it around if you want to test.

In order to change a Keychain password, you'll have to know the original password used to create the Keychain. If you don't know what that original password is, simply create a new Keychain with a new password and enter passwords into the Keychain as you or the user comes across applications that require a password.

Have you installed CMC? It should find it by scanning the subnet.
