      @dustinb3403 that scale aren't a "two men in a shed" operation and people are using it for production SQL environments. Also how easy the whole setup is and operation and really showing them we don't need a SAN full stop. As there is technology out there that will do the same job, cheaper (and maybe better lol )

        @hobbit666 so positive in every way that has been stated time and again across multiple platforms, and just now your coworkers are willing to see rather than listen.

        Sometimes to get the horse to drink you have to try and drown it.

          One thing to bear in mind is that if you need to get into the CLI and tinker around with things you really can't (or couldn't last time I worked with it). It is an appliance, and even though it is running KVM under the hood you cannot talk directly to KVM, but only through their UI or APIs. Not necessarily a negative, but a potential limitation especially if you're running a mixed hypervisor environment.

                GF just landed safely in San Diego. Much deserved vacation for her and her whole family (kids, grandparents, all of them are there).

                    @kelly that's what scale care is for. We can concentrate on running and sorting the VM's out. If we have an issue scale are on hand to look "under the hood" 😁😁

                      Wondering why this Dell SMB rep took it upon himself (without asking) to use my reward dollars to send me a monitor I don't want or need. He did it a month ago and sent me a printer. I am sending this one back and demanding a refund.

                        Keep it and demand a refund. Unsolicited items showing up at your location are gifts. Escalate the call above them and get your credits back, while keeping the shiny, new, free monitor that they're obviously sending out as a promotional item.

                              Good plan. I was just sharing the mistake I'd made. I opted to skip Scale Care assuming that we would be able to handle it in house. Was a bit of a surprise.

                                  I'd be reporting him for that... Unless they let you keep the screen and get your credits back. 😄

                                    I'm enjoying a day of rain after several upper 90's days (upper 30's for those not crazy enough to be on farenheit). We don't get much here in CO, and this is a nice change.

                                      SMBv2/v3 on Windows is apparently mine. . . there are known issues on all sides (from Apple to Windows) of constant file locks for no "known" reason.

                                        We haven't had any substantial rain in Rochester for 2 weeks. I think they've declared a moderate drought for the area today at noon.

                                            I saw your other thread. It didn't mention anything about Macs. I have had that problem for years. I was considering the Acronis software.
