well you're starting off with the right name 🙂

So after building a new NFS/SMB vm (and deleting the old one) the new system seems fine.

Something must've got corrupted because of the smartctl errors.

you HAVE to suffer downtime to solve this problem.

You really need live support.

Please PM JB and get a contract in place...

Now just to re-plan the house wiring and setup. Clean the TV unit and prepare for the extra kit 🙂

@Carnival-Boy said in Chocolatey goes commercial:

Pricing seems reasonable to me, though I don't really understand the finer details of the difference between the free and paid versions.

Mostly it is support. Looks like a few enterprise features that an SMB won't care about, but support could matter to anyone.

@BBigford said in Remotely control a Mac:

There were two parts... I didn't realize that Microsoft was at fault here, not Apple, since Apple has VNC natively built in but Microsoft RDC can't connect to Unix-like/Linux workstations.

Well, pretty much all Linux desktops will do RDP servers. You don't normally because it's not that great of a protocol. But if you want it, it's one command line instruction away. I've used RDP to manage Linux desktops plenty of times. It's Mac alone that doesn't build it in, it's only that Linux doesn't turn it (or VNC) on by default because X has been there for three decades already.

@alex.olynyk said in Web Mail Not Working After Adding New DNS Zone:

i have different URL's for owncloud inside the network and owncloud outside the network but that should be ok.

It is? What if they want to share a file?

Well, that is a problem, probably.

Is there a reason you don't them the same inside and outside?

With DNS you can do this easily.

@travisdh1 said in Best Whiskey (Hypervisor) versus the most sold Whiskey (Hypervisor):

@Carnival-Boy Summed up many threads from that other place very well.

Not really. He's got a good summary of "why ESXi is his favourite" which he's said before and makes sense. That's very different from him telling everyone that the other three are stupid and have no support and only fools with failing businesses wouldn't pay for ESXi without any actual reasons for it.

Saying that it is his favourite and telling everyone else that they should only consider it are very different things. On SW it is the later.

@KOOLER That's basically everything what I've learned about the current situation on hyperconvergence and VSAN's during the last couple of months. Really appreciate your introductory disclaimer. Just remembering one of your posts a couple of months ago over at SW where you said something like "Actually, I'm the sales prevention guy here at StarWind".

Anyway, thanks for your excellent writeup.

@coliver said in Fibrant ISP/SIP Provider Salisbury NC:

Just for background - Fibrant is a municipal ISP that was setup by the City of Salisbury to fill in the gaps that other ISPs in the area refused to fill. They expanded from there and offer high speed services to the majority of the city.

but adding in SIP to services, that's where the problems tend to start. Being an ISP is good. Offering SIP is good. Putting the two together is generally bad. No
t always, of course, but pretty often.

Just because an ISP offers sip does not mean they are a shit IST

Yup, which I pointed out. I leans that way, but doesn't mean that it is the case.

That isn't what your first response was though. Your first response was very narrow and specific.

Yep, correlation doesn't equal causation. The two aren't related at all.

Ah, but they are. ISPs turn to SIP in many causes for the purpose of retaining customers in the face of competition based on quality of service.

Thanks, will check that out later, but don't have the time right now to fiddle around with something new.

I don't think Gluster (it's no longer GlusterFS) uses STONITH because they don't go for the two node configuration where it is needed. They use a quorum system.

I know a guy who built his own blade unit. Wooden blade enclosure and some simply power supplies and his own fans, then made it allow straight motherboards to slide in so that it make having a handful of systems running in a cluster super cheap. Pointless for production, but for a lab was very interesting.

@aaronstuder said in Ubiquiti classes?:

They look costly for stuff you could likely learn on Youtube....

There was a time when I would have agreed 100%. Now it seems the only way I would cram in 16 hours of learning would be to head off site some where with my phone forwarded to voicemail...

If you can make it to a class, you can schedule time away 😉 If you can't schedule time for YouTube, you'll not be able to get the value from the class.

@aaronstuder You would have to give everyone admin rights on the Terminal Server.

@aaronstuder said in Moving to a New WSUS server:

@BBigford No Problem. Once I realized that the port numbers change, I realized the issue right away.

Clients are being seen by the WSUS server now 🙂

Sweet!

Found it, nevermind.....

@Mike-Davis said in Ubiquiti wifi bridge static on VoIP calls:

I knocked it down to 20MHz channel width and ran it for 14 hours with no pings over 20 ms. Users have been on it for 2 work days now and everything is working fine. I wish I understood the science behind it so I could know...

You could always try to go on a Ubiquiti training course for this kind of thing. 🙂 - Depends on the location.

@JaredBusch said in VM from ESXi to Xenserver:

Specifically to the CentOS test, the boot image looks like it needs rebuilt prior to the V2V or from a boot media after the V2V.

This is what i'm thinking at the moment but unsure how to do this with my level of Linux skills.

Awesome, good progress, at least.
