At the beach about to get chips and head home

Having breakfast then get ready for work.
Off to replace a switch this morning.

You shouldn't. It's an emulated interface that is unable to take advantage of all the modern virtualization advances for the past 20-ish years.

So what should one use? On VMware and Proxmox?

Don't use E1000 if it's vmware.

If it's anything!

What's wrong with E1000? I use them with no issues (well E1000e).

CVE-2020-1350 | Windows DNS Server Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Windows Domain Name System servers when they fail to properly handle requests. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could run arbitrary code in the context of the Local System Account. Windows servers that are configured as DNS servers are at risk from this vulnerability.

To exploit the vulnerability, an unauthenticated attacker could send malicious requests to a Windows DNS server.

The update addresses the vulnerability by modifying how Windows DNS servers handle requests

Looking for an AC Adaptor for a Samsung 700T thing.

Played a bit more Assassin creed black flag on GeForce now. Ran a lot better than last time.

@AshKetchum So is this a Hotel or something?

Wide scale Zabbix training today. @MC_Bol gets to run the meeting today.

What does that entail/cover?

(DON'T SHOUT AT ME) - Both servers are connected to a SAN.

Storage is not a factor in Windows licensing. Even if they had awesome RLS you don't need to license special. SAN doesn't give you a discount, but it's just not considered.

I only said that as you don't like SAN's and this isn't my setup

@scottalanmiller said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

There's no such thing. Every VM is using hardware with 20 cores. The licensing is by how many cores are in the server, not how many you present to Windows.

So no, you have to license 20 cores. Even for a single VM, even if that VM uses only 1 vCPU itself.

That's what i thought
Will hit my friend with a big fish and wake him up

Long shot, but worth asking

If you have two servers, each with 2x 10 Core CPU so - 40 Cores overall all.

I someone buys a single Datacenter 2019 Volume License (16Core License), Can we just spin up a few VM's that equal 16 Cores?
Or do you "have" to license all cores even if your only going to run 3-4 VM's? (Even if it was limited to run the VM's only on one host)

We don't hawk Lenovo around these parts every since SuperFish.

Never liked Lenovo, not sure why really but just don't like the looks/build or the reliability.
Personally prefer Dell, then HP

So got a Plex VM, Win10 VM, Firewall VM on my proxmox server.

Also managed to get a Win10 VM running with GPU pass through using a AMD HD7000 for a test. Seems OK so far.
If it goes well will maybe invest in a slightly better GPU

@Grey said in [What Are You Watching Now]

A rewatch, I hope.

Yes we watched all 3

@hobbit666 said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

So initial test - i.e. can i get in installed and working - DONE

Next - Reconnect all drives, 2x SSD and 4TB Raid volume. Reinstall and see where i get
Update soon

So got it running.
Got all Storage sorted, installed 2 VM's. One untangled.
The 2nd a windows 10. On SSD Storage, 8GB RAM, 4 Cores. First impression the web console show's a lot more lag than seen with ESXi6.3.
Going to do some more playing tomorrow. Time to shut down the server and move it back into the dinning room
