After lunch, the virtualization project begins! I think I have everything set to get the hyper v 2016 installed to a USB. Still waiting on drives and RAMs, but I might as well get going.
OH, is that now supported through documentation outside of OEMs?
I'm not sure, but I know how to find out. I saw an older thread on SW where @scottalanmiller and @Dashrender were discussing the pitfalls of installing hyper v to USB or SD... I find an article showing how to do it w hyper v 2016, so we will see.

We've had that same discussion here, along with @brrrbill but it was around XenServer and how challenging it is to get the logs saved to another location and never writing on the SD card.

He had a 3000# concrete form fall on his foot just before Christmas. He is out of work, can't play and has months of recovery and multiple surgeries to go. So we are doing our best to raise some $$ for him and his girlfriend to cover lost income for the next few months.

I have a feeling I'll be putting a couple of drives in a RAID 1 for the hypervisor. Or would I be better off going OBR10 and a small partition?

Sadly the expectation of people is that they should sustain their lives on 1/4 of what they actually earn, and be banking the rest of it.
I can chip in 5 bucks (just need a way to get it over to you)

OBR10 and a small partition. Hypervisors are very light on IOPS, and what few they do require is almost all reads on boot.
Now if only XS7 would play nice with those log files

Sadly they were barely making ends meet on full income with both of them. So this is a HUGE issue for them.

Ah, good info. Thanks. Wish I could be helpful w the XS7 stuff, but that's out of my wheelhouse.

OBR10 and small partition.
If your server supports an internal SSD (normally m.2) you could install Hyper-V to that, and use the RAID'ed drives as normal.

Yeah his girlfriend has 2 kids living with them. He has a son as well. So money doesn't go as far as they would like. And while his medical bills are paid for. There are lots of other costs associated with being injured so....

I'll check on the m.2 slot, that might be the way to go.

Yeah, I just paid off a major one of those from when my wife passed 4 years ago. All the medical expenses were taken care of, but you still have to eat, pay the mortgage, etc.
