RE: Windows Servers Archived onto Linux, suggestions/help pls
@siringo During the installation setup you do have an option to use raid by using ZFS but it’s not selected by default. I’ve never used it because I’m using hardware raid.

RE: Windows Servers Archived onto Linux, suggestions/help pls
@siringo said in Windows Servers Archived onto Linux, suggestions/help pls:
Just installed Proxmox on a Dell T620 with 4 x 600GB physical disks.
Proxmox tells me this:
When I installed I didn't install any RAID option, I just chose the default.
I know this is elementary for you linux guys, but is that telling me that it has used 3 of the disks to create a volume of size 557.87GB?
If not and it's only using 1 physical disk, how can I add more disks for Proxmox to use?
Thanks for any help.
You must be looking at LVM under Disks because that’s normal. Take a look at LVM-Thin under Disks.

Request help. Users can now request help thru the new application. At a click of a button, users are prompted for a short text of what is being asked and when they click ok, the request is forwarded to the server that displays a popup on all administrator accounts that have rights to this device. In addition, there is a question mark icon next to the device that will be shown until the request for help is canceled. Lastly, as an administrator you can now filter devices by “help” to only show devices with pending help requests.

Improvements to remote command execution. This week the remote command execution dialog box was improved so that you can specify if a command must be run as the mesh agent, or run as the currently logged in user on the primary console if a user is logged in. This is super useful since you can now launch an application on your user’s desktop remotely. For example, run “notrepad.exe” as the logged in users and notepad will launch on the user’s desktop.

There are tools to help with migrating VMs. I know we have guides here for KVM (Proxmox). I believe we have some here for XCP-ng or XenServer.
Personally, I would create a new VM on Proxmox or XCP-ng and then sync the data over.
They both have pretty good community forum.

I'm wondering which one I should concentrate on, Proxmox or xcp-ng?
My straight up answer is to try them both out.

RE: RoboCopy Syntax
@gjacobse said in RoboCopy Syntax:
I feel that I’ve made decent progress on the script, that said, I’ve run into a snag trying to grab Google Chrome User default folder:
RoboCopy “%src%\appdata\local\google\chrome\user data\default\” %dst%\chromeProfile\” /xa:sh /xjd /r:5 /w:5
I can’t seem to isolate the issue, this is almost the same syntax I am using to copy the profile.
Before you copy make sure Chrome processes is not running first. And last time I check, saved passwords doesn’t work when copying the chrome profile. I think Firefox is the only one that you can backup the profile without losing your saved passwords.
