What questions and answers brought you to use ESXi? Did you purchase ESXi or are you using the free version?

@dgingerich @scottalanmiller sorry for the delay in a response from me. Working on a sev-1 at work at the moment so I'm only sporadically available. I'll be sure to take a look at this later when either the sev-1 clears up or my day is over.

That's just weird.

How so? Each DID is independent of the B channel, so I can have a multitude of DIDs and only a few B channels if so desired.

Except it's a weird pairing. If you wanted flexibility to sell one at a time. Not "almost every channel."

But it is a did not a number assigned to a channel.

@Dashrender said in XOA Pricing Model - What might it look like from a US perspective:

the main thing I can think of - is general desktop support - but really, if it's more than a 10 min fix (which I would think would be IT stuff - assuming not hardware), then you should probably be wiping and reloading, right?

Depends on what you are fixing, but generally, yes. But even this, you don't want a generalist for that. You want a desktop support specialist. The only role you want a generalist in, ever, is department oversight.

@Dashrender yea mine is version 5 something (its about as old as @scottalanmiller is)

We use Zoom for pretty much everything here.

Really should ensure a two post is anchored.

Yeah.. tell me about it. . .

@Dashrender said in Cross Post - Help sorting out a Firewall Issue on a Debian Box:

A default gateway on the debian box?

My thought. I don't think I've seen a system firewall not accept icmp by default.

If you stop iptables and still can't ping it's not the firewall.

I do them with RackTables. With it, you can document your rack, servers, networks and other devices. You'll have to configure it manually though, but I know with your skills that you'll be able configure it better than mine.

With one look, you'll get a view of what resides in your rack, a deeper inspection will reveal what is connected to what, it's up to you on how detailed you wanted to be. However, I have to be creative on the patchpanel side, I had to double the ports, one in front and one at the back.

You can also configure what details to show to other users. I have my 2 colleagues have access but can not view some server details like usernames and passwords which I made (similar to normal fields). Going this route, you have to ensure that you have a good grip on your database as it stores them as regular text.

Also check OpenDCIM and RackMonkey.

@coliver said in Sudoers vulnerability found:

We talked about a similar issue last week. I don't think it was this exact vulnerability... Just like the previous one though this is more of the "If you configure a system incorrectly and give someone sudo access you're going to have a bad day." types of error rather then a full blown security issue.

Ah, ok. But yeah, if you give someone sudo, you are already trusting them to not fuck up your system.

@JaredBusch said in Mitel VoiceMail error - There was an error accessing your messages you will be returned to the main menu:

Or post on SW, there are a lot of users there with old crap.

haha. . . I laughed way to hard at that.

Nuking the mailbox.

Here is the more in-depth explanation of the issue.

@beta said in SW Port - New Server for virtual host - Sanity Check:

Oh, one thing I was really curious about too, would it make sense to get an extra drive as a hot spare? Normally with OBR10 and spinning HDD, I'd put every spindle into the array, but since SSDs are going to give me plenty of IOPS and capacity, I didn't know if it is a good/bad idea with OBR5.

The rule of "no hot spare ever" for RAID 5 still applies. If you were going to do this, you would do OBR 6. OBR6 can make loads of sense here, but OBR5 + HS does not.

But it is up to you, depends on cost and risk aversion.

Odds are you can create a new VM, and simply attach the disks to the VM (in the correct order) and be back up and running.

Found exactly what I needed.

"A Group is a collection of Backblaze users. All Groups have billing centrally managed by an administrator and allow administrators to keep track of the Group member’s backup statuses, B2 usage, and any alerts that members may have on their Backblaze accounts. Best of all, Groups bring added functionality to Backblaze at no extra cost."

Stuff on Wine rarely runs as well, it's the native stuff that really works.

With T56 series here the 48s dropped down to $170 range, everything else has gotten even cheaper.

The t56a is the cost that Yealink 48s was a month ago, and it is android. About $199.

I got Ubiquiti phones in to test and have updated them a couple times. At last pass they still couldn't park or use BLF reliably.

I can't imagine leaving Yealink.

I am actually at this moment trying to get a branded deal going, for a large global hotel chain and also looking at doing it for my own service.

Verizon and others do this with a Yealink. The main reason is when you sell to a business and not to IT, they've never heard of Yealink. There's no need to give a customer the desire to google Yealink and then learn about FreePBX etc. Yealink doesn't have the brand equity Polycom or Cisco does.

I was really surprised when Sangoma claimed to not be using Yealink for the design. It's a clear rip off of the t4 series design but I did hear early on they sourced Texas Instruments for boards and some chipsets that have wideband audio issues.

@DustinB3403 looks interesting, but not something I have had to look into before.
