It's better then seeing family. . .

Me either, but there comes a point when dinner is over and I've had enough family time for the entire year, and that is when I retreat and find something easy to watch while I digest and nod off.

Hello darkness, my old friend
.. I've come to fight with you again
because of blue screens softly creeping
a virus came while I was sleeping...And the garbage that was planted in my NAS
Still remains
Within the sound of silenceMy data came and went.
I thought nothing was the matter.
I sat back down and heard the sound:
the hard drive's crashing platter. -

Do you not have something on for background noise before dinner? Or is it all sportball?
-
Having issues with cloudflare for some reason. Need to figure out why.
-
Setting up hardware, and trying to figure out who is supposed to have what. . . as there is no list of whom should be getting what.
Wonderful.

Getting so sick of Windows Server... i just can't get anything done, i'm constantly waiting on or fixing crap so i can do stuff I should even have to do... just so I can access storage.
Honestly, it shouldn't take 2+ hours to connect to an iSCSI drive... It should be a 1 minute thing!
Edit: waiting waiting waiting.....

Uhm, it should be a few seconds thing, 1 minute would be way to long! Something's sideways.

It takes me a few seconds just to type in the server name and to authenticate to it... then to configure iscsi... some more seconds, etc... it's a minute.

The whole thing is just jacked up... and I can't reboot a hypervisor just whenever because iSCSI took a dump.
-
Well, the iSCSI connection isn't required for anything production... so it's not worth downtime and a reboot outside of regular scheduled downtime.
But it's (iSCSI) required so I can do some very important things regarding backups.

Like to create backups?

At a high level, I need to move existing backups to an iSCSI drive, so that I can kill the existing backup RAID, and make a new one using different and more drives, then move the backups back.
But I may have to wait until I can reboot the hypervisor... or perhaps I can connect to the iSCSI device via USB (it's a QNAP). Got it for the purpose of stuff like this, temporary storage and such.
-
The QNAP isn't the problem, Windows is the problem here.

How much storage space is this qnap providing (and how many TB's worth of backups need to move?)

About 11 TB of backup data ^_^, QNAP is providing 14.5.

That aughta be fun . .

I think I'll just go USB 3.0, I dont' have time to wait on iSCSI to uninstall or to reboot the hypervisor.
