@dashrender said in Is sharing a single network connection between two servers dumb?:

This isn't a NIC teaming situation.

The OP has one internet connection that needs to be split over two servers.

Normally one would install a switch and then run a cable from each server to the switch, and the switch to the internet... BUT - in this case, the OP doesn't have an open power socket for the switch (it would cost them more money) so they are looking for a way to do ICS (Internet connection sharing) from one server to the other.

This really seems like a bad idea. I'm guessing this means no Out of Band connections for the servers, and only a single connection for both servers. So if the first server dies, the second one becomes useless.

Really seems like a time to re-evaluate the priorities here - why are you in a DC if you can't afford these other seemingly needed things.

Thanks for the response! If the first server died, the datacenter team would pull the cable from the dead server and immediately plug it into the 2nd server, so there'd be a small window of downtime, but it'd theoretically take over all duties immediately. Agree it's a bad idea, but this is all for a hobby project where some downtime is acceptable and I'm trying to really be a cheap muhfuh 🙂

Not sure that would work. It would depend on how it's set up.

Interesting feature, what's it main use though?

Not tieing my to me desk to make a phone call. I wear a DECT headset pretty much all day. When I am at my desk I don't need this function, but when I am working from elsewhere around the house, I cannot originate a call without it. That or I have to walk back to my office.

Luckily FOP2 also has a call origination function.

aww, since your headset doesn't have a keypad, you need this to make calls from your headset.

Why would I want a headset to have a keypad? It is a headset.

I know your just angry because you haven't had enough coffee or nooners, whatever - it's OK.

If hangry is when being hungry makes you angry, would this be cangry or nangry?

Do reboots have to happen at the time of update? Or can they wait? Any reason to delay updates rather than just delaying the reboot?

Firewall?

I might need to investigate Wine again, when I tried it, things were rough to say the least.

I haven't run Wine in a while, but when last I tried, any app that needed SSL did not work. Browsers couldn't do HTTPS, any app that tried to do encryption or anything like that would fail... If they'd fix that a lot more games and online things would work.

Interesting, had no idea about this.

This is relatively recent as well, like in the Wine 1.9 & 2.0 branches.

Good to know, I was just debating on switching my gaming machine over recently, glad I didn't if this recent hiccup is going to cause issues.

Steam under Wine worked well, as did several of my games. But WOW did not.

Just an overlook: https://aws.amazon.com/it/blogs/aws/glacier-vault-lock/ .

It should be cheaper than tapes or HDD for that range of data.

@eddiejennings said in FreePBX and time zones:

What does the Admin > System Admin > Time Zone setting affect? Should it affect the actual system clock of the server?

Here's my scenario:

During FreePBX Install (the OS part), do not set the time zone, which defaults to UTC. After the install, reboot, log into the FreePBX GUI. During the initial setup, you're prompted to confirm a time zone. At this time I specify EST. Reports > Asterisk Logfiles show logs in UTC (which makes sense, since from the OS perspective the time zone is UTC). Envelopes for voice mails are also in UTC.

There is a setting for this, but I cannot find it right now.

The UCP is supposed to be improved, but it looks like more work instead. Need more time with that.

@bigbear said in Trying the FreePBX 13 to 14 Upgrade:

I gave the UCP a try, there was no default layout or apps. Kind of a miss there because by comparison it is maybe its stronger using-facing benefit.

@jaredbusch said in Trying the FreePBX 13 to 14 Upgrade:

That is what I am seeing and wondering WTF.

We have plans to add customization by Administrators from within User Manager. We will also note to add default layouts in there as well.

The tutorial walks you through most of this however.

More to come in time.

Yeah, a default layout would be awesome. The tutorial is good. I went through it yesterday.

@eddiejennings said in Independant Contractors on a FreePBX system:

@dashrender Logically, I shouldn't make that assumption. The assumption is based on a gut feeling fueled by some experience.

I gotcha - if I'm a contractor, and that's not a spelled out benefit, and it's clear that the benefit is being removed because I'm no longer using my own phone, I'd be rather unhappy at the pay cut.

@r3dpand4 said in Compuverde: vNAS or Hyperconverged:

@fateknollogee I mean that's depending on your deployment, it's included with 2016 Datacenter....

So is Storage Replica and whole bunch of things you aren't going to use if you aren't within hyperconverged setup. VMware with a separate SKU for VSAN got a better idea. ImHO.

I have seen this work like this for a long while. But it can be weird because I've seen it fail too. If the client in question don't present some time of machine/domain name automatically, I think the domain auth will just assume the domain that's being authenticated against and if an account matches it tries the password.. but, if the client does pass along machine/domain type info, of course it fails if it doesn't match.

@sreekumarpg said in Microsoft SQL Backup Solution:

Hello All,

I would like to get the suggestion on SQL backup Solution. Currently our environment is have two node SQL cluster with around 16 TB of Data. We are using Rapid Recovery as the Backup solution. We have upgraded our Windows Cluster to 2012 with Clustered Share Volume and the SQL Cluster to 2014.

Now we are facing issue with Rapid Recovery as its not able to understand the clustered share volume and we are not able to take the backup of our SQL storage on Block level. As per Rapid Recovery, they are not sure when they will release a version which support CSV.

We are in a situation to look into another SQL backup Solutions. Currently I am testing the Unitrends backup Virtual appliance and Its is good in backup, but I am having some issues on the retention polices as they provide only minimal policy which is on the SQL instance level.

Kindly suggest me a good backup solution for the SQL database which is having application native backup agent or CSV support , rather than block level backup. Also with the backup policy and retention policy of

Backup : - Daily Incremental and Monthly Full backup
Retention : - 2 Week incremental and Last month Full backup.

Backup : Every 6 Month
Retention : Last 6th Month

Backup : Every Year
Retention : Last 2 year.

If this can be achieved in Unitrends please share the details.

Thanks in Advance.

@momurda said in I think this is setup very wrong. Applications installed in /opt:

@scottalanmiller That is the position i want to take.

What would i need to do to get all the existing MW data and put it in a newer MW server? Just tar up the data folder and untar in new MW server? That seems too easy.

You'll want to export and import. But yeah, that's about it. MW is not complicated in any specific way. I do this with WP all the time. It's really that easy.

@emad-r

I just finished home lab setup with Apache + Centos + WebDAV
On 1 machine
that is connected to 2 other glusterfs peers working in replication mode.

It felt good when everything worked as expected. and I can connect via WinSCP, and it recognizes passwords for users created by Bcrypt which I reckon uses Blowfish and over HTTPS which makes it very secure.

umm.. its lame abit that each folder/share you will need to define in it apache webdav.conf, but if you want to implement something manually that is the price you pay.

Other than that it is all good, you can create personal shares like HR , and other Public ones. And replication does occur by the underlying glusterfs.
