      Just walked to the grocery store and back. Two huge grocery heavy duty bags plus a loaded down backpack, uphill about 2km. Now I'm warm. Ho caldo.

              Nope, not sure where to buy one either. Maybe the Chinese store.

                        He's posting on ML... From home instead of his office.

                        Perfectly viable. It's not like he's out at the beach or anything... are you?

                            If I'm sick enough to be home - you can bet your ass, if I'm awake I'd be on ML.

                              I'm home every day, but I don't get sick days, so it's all foreign to me. I think I slept in a little once when I was feeling really lousy.

                                      Right before I left yesterday I overheard a meeting my sort-of supervisors were having in regards to purchasing two new Hyper-V host machines and what their purpose would be. Each server would be identical. One would house our DAG server (it's running out of space anyway) with the other being a replication point for hardware redundancy only, both of which would be Raid 5. This triggered me right before I left for the day.

                                      We are buying two servers and not clustering them so we essentially lose the resources of the second server as it's not being used for anything else. We are also configuring them in a Raid 5 because of budgetary constraints (our client said no so we are trying to find the money in our calculated yearly budget). This is supposed to be a temporary measure until July 1 when we get all of the money for our new budget.

                                      Now, these servers eventually will be repurposed to house about 80% of our infrastructure after July, where the DAG will be moved to a new host that we have yet to purchase. Based on their conversation I don't think they are planning to buy more hard drives in July and configure these hosts in a raid 10 or have they considered clustering at all.

                                      So we're making these things more important with more hard drives and more likely to fail. I need a drink.

                                        Assuming they are buying HDDs, you need to show them the math that shows why RAID 5 is dead in that space and that they need to look at RAID 6 or RAID 10.

                                          As for storage for your DAG - you need a whole new server for this? what about a used DAS shelf and some disk?

                                            @Dashrender The server is on it's way out anyway so it solves two problems but I'm really put out.
