I thought about making a new VM using Fedora 25 as the one @scottalanmiller provided the group works so well. I'm just afraid I won't be able to successfully migrate the data.

It's all just a database and filesystem. I've not done this, but should not be bad.

Would this still be possible if you've chosen to enable encryption? I would assume that your encryption key would be different in a new install. I don't remember reading anywhere about how to migrate data from one install to another if it was encrypted (although maybe I've never read it because it doesn't matter). Has anyone done this? Moved users and data to a new install with encryption turned on?

Doing the migration would decrypt on the source before doing the move. So it should be the same. The key would change or not depending on if you move the key.

Argh

ROFL.

In case you have a mix of private and public network profiles use this command.

Enable-PSRemoting -SkipNetworkProfileCheck - Force

SkipNetworkProfileCheck ignores any public network profiles so you can enable remote powershell successfully.

@stus Thanks. Was just reading about it here.

Not quite the same as NFS 3 and NFS 4, but we intentionally use NFS 3 much of the time today even though NFS 4 is old.

This may be good for a fork...but why hang on to NFSv3 instead of stepping up to NFSv4??

Because the work differently and having the overhead of NFSv4 often does not make sense.

Can you give more detail?

They are very different protocols with a lot of different features. NFSv3 is much lighter than NFSv4.

Or a different product package?

Management for StarWind Virtual SAN, Microsoft Storage Spaces Direct, and Ceph.

Starwind is now doing Ceph?

Yes

Where is that info about Starwind & Ceph?

In their product description.

You will see that status if replication had been failing long enough to get into critical status. Even if it is now replicating again. I will show critical for a few more replication cycles.

That is why you need to open the full status and check what it says.

Thanks for your comments all.

@tim_G what OS was your Host where it worked?

2012 R2 and 2016, both Hyper-V Server and Windows Server.

I've also done it with Hyper-V on Windows 10.

It's always worked for me. When it hasn't, it's because of not paying attention and using incorrect options.

The Spector series are designed for executives. They look pretty, have decent specs, and have a price tag to match.

Thanks for posting this!

@Dashrender The app doesn't have ads 🙂

Grafana is pretty cool looking.

Here's a simple dashboard I built for a few VMs at home to show load.

This is a really detailed one that is tabbed. I couldn't possible show all of it.

@wirestyle22 But your drill sergeant would want you on the team always so do not lose sleep over it 🙂

Good to know.

Thanks

What questions and answers brought you to use ESXi? Did you purchase ESXi or are you using the free version?

Titles don't matter that much except for companies that literally base your pay range on it. If they are going to do that, then fight for the best paying title!

And yes, I do work for a comp that does it. I started as "IT Helpdesk" and could not get my title changed even once I began supporting Linux web servers and doing all the purchasing and essentially being responsible for all-the-things.
The person before me who remained on staff for a while was called "IT Coordinator", whatever that means.

Eventually I had to write like a 6 page letter explaining what I do and what titles actually mean and finally got my title approved to be "IT Systems Administrator" (a most appropriate and generic title for my position and duties). And then negotiated my pay as a separate thing. Plus I like calling myself a "SysAdmin" and can celebrate national SysAdmin Day.

What's funny is that when my boss would send phone calls or emails to me to do things, he would use important-sounding titles to look impressive to the other person. Like "I'll pass you on to our CTO to handle that" even though I'm no such thing, lol

Loving the Marvin Gaye reference in the title.
