How would you rate their solution overall? Amy other serious contenders to consider like a starwind hca?

@scottalanmiller

So, data will be sync'd from box 1, to box 2 etc?
If a node on box 1 dies, the nodes on 2 and 3 will share the load?

@scottalanmiller

Ok, so... the nodes and storage are in one box right? So, it's one spof?

Unless I get multiple VXRail units and theybbetqeen boxes replicate...

Hi folks,

I've been looking at VXRail, have any of you had experience of them? How would you rate them?

From what I can see it seems DAS storage is shared on the box to local compute nodes. Sort of how the Vrtx ran. Am I right? In this case, it's not really HC and defo not HA, right?

Wouldn't a better option be a starwind vsan appliance or Vmware vsan on top of some r740xd?

Hi folks,

I have an ASA and Dell N4000 switch.

ASA is 10.12.0.1/24. vLAN 5 on the N4000 is 10.12.0.2/24. Clients on vLAN 5 can route to the Internet perfectly.

vLAN 6 is 10.12.10.2/24. I have enabled routing between vLANs and clients on either can ping clients on the other vLAN.

My problem... vLAN 6 clients cannot get to the Internet.

How can I resolve that?

I have tried adding these two static routes, but no dice.

static route 10.12.10.0 255.255.255.0 10.12.0.2 (the vLAN 5 interface).
static route 10.12.10.0 255.255.255.0 10.12.0.1 (the ASA)

Any other ideas?

Best,
Jim

Hi folks,

I have Windows Server Datacenter 2019 licenses. If I install Hyper-V server, rather than Windows Server with the role, can I setup AVMA and have the host auto license the VMs?

Or, do I need to login to each VM and add the Datacenter key?

Best,

Avma does not work on Hyper-V Server.

You'll need to install Hyper-V role on Windows Server DC if that is a must have among any other DC only features.

So, if I have the Hyper-V Server installed only - how do I use my Datacenter license on the VMs? I guess I login to each and enter the key manually?

Also, you can use 50 activations or something like that. Afterwards you have to contact Ms support to get more, but it doesn't cost money to do that.

I guess I would activate one VM, sysprep it, then reuse... it should stay activated right?

So, any SAS SSD under 1.6 TB should work with this? Perfect.

Hi folks,
We have been given an old V3700 and have been told by management to use it.

Ouch, lol

Yep
