      @wrx7m said in VMware Host Cannot Connect from vSphere Client:

      Could also be an issue if a vendor-specific ISO was used to initially install ESXi. I ran into a similar problem with Dell; I had to get the Dell ISO from their downloads for the specific server model/service tag.

      For 6.0 this is fine (you'll use this to get ASNC drivers). You can also add the dell VIB depot to get them this way also.
      For 6.7 Dell has (thankfully) stopped shipping ASYNC drivers and moved 100% to inbox. It's all for 3rd party management VIBs. Honestly I've seen 3rd party VIBs be a culprit for updates before. I'd make sure you are updating the BIOS/FIrmware also when updating ESXi (People forget this sometimes).

      @DustinB3403 said in Setting up an HP DL185 G5:

      @Dashrender That is where I was thinking a surveillance system would be a good use. I could use it as a backup repo for my VMs as well with a simple NFS share.

      Just needing some things to do with it, maybe something the kid could eventually use. (years from now. . . she's almost 1 already.)

      All these things basically go directly to what Scott said - make it a giant storage array.

      All of the hypervisors are built for this. It's the storage and clustering that may or may not be built for this. As a rule, highest performance systems are not clustered at all, the can't be. Clustering takes a performance hit.

      But in the extreme performance space products like VMware and Starwind are the top dogs. Both have multiple solutions, but they are using tech like memory sharing, localized data, NVMEoF, log structuring, and others to do things that Gluster just can't do. So much so that products like Gluster sometimes use these techs on top to accelerate them (example: Starwind makes a CEPH accelerator platform.)

      @Francesco-Provino said in virt-manager for Windows:

      @scottalanmiller you don’t want a GUI on the virtualization host, ever. Just spin a VM with virt-manager and launch it on your local machine with xming or one of the other solutions in the other comments.

      Right, bypassing Windows can be an option, but it's a crappy one. But I got it working directly on Windows, so no need for a heavy VM for one app.

      @JaredBusch said in Dashrender why did you migrate to Hyper-V from XenServer:

      The XCP-NG team is a team that had a horrible business model that they were trying to implement around XenServer (XOA). Great concept, poor business model.

      I wish them well but they are fighting a few things...

      Citrix couldn't make any real money even when they charged more and people were taking the product seriously.

      Last time I checked they were just replacing some management components and packaging some storage stuff. They are not investing in upstream and there's a lot of... changes coming in hardware that are going to require non-trivial investments for hypervisors to remain relevant.

      The real problem with Xen is upstream investment is drying up. Citrix has pulled back, Amazon and other cloud providers have moved on to KVM, SuSE doesn't even market virtualization (SAP HANA support, containers, OS is as close to bare metal as they get). Outside of some people in ARM/automotive virtualization I haven't seen anyone picking it up for net new projects. In the enterprise Oracle is the only champion of it these days. KVM won the open source hypervisor war (although at this point does anyone really care?)

      @scottalanmiller said in Kvm network troubleshooting:

      Your server has an IP address of 192.168.122.1? Is that correct? Nothing wrong with that technically, but it would be exceptionally unusual. That's almost always the gateway address. What is the address of your gateway?

      That's libvirts virtual bridge address for the NAT network.

      Oh, duh, I missed the bridge. Carry on. πŸ™‚

      @Dashrender think of this as XOCE to XenServer/XCP-ng but with a desktop instead of a web interface.

      Literally nothing different and is completely normal.

      So following on from the Other thread.

      Looks like i'm heading to the Install KVM, setup a Linux VM and use that to manage the KVM server from that.

      @FATeknollogee the install itself has been covered too many times to mention πŸ™‚ Maybe if he runs into a specific issue and solves it, that would be a good thing to share
