Yes you can. You don't have to reboot the VM. You can create Virtual Networks with one Gateway. There are a lot of option in this software that scale doesn't have. The main thing is that I can manage it. Every little thing I don't need to call them. I might sell my scale system. IDK .. its from 2016. Don't know what it's worth.

@stacksofplates I have it installs and I was able to migrate my vm's from scale to this system. Seems very good and fast too. I like that you can mix and match hardware and it automatically levels off the diskspace. There are option to auto balance vm's. There are a lot more features then scale. The UI of scale is more user friendly.

You can create virtual networks inside the software. Create vlan, virtual switches without touch any of your networking equipment. Create templates based off your imports. That's what I got so far. I exported my Nextcloud server and imported it to Nodeweaver. Boots fast loads fast.

@JaredBusch Unfortunately at this time scale is out of the budget at the moment so I have to look at other technologies to keep things afloat

So what do I need to build a nice ui. Easy to setup and manage. What do I need to do and how to build it.

I know I can’t build scale.

I honestly don't know the answer to this question yet. I installed it. was very straight forward, Mixes and matches hardware, auto load balancing hot swap drives. So your telling me I can build promos with lizard fs

I am in the process of installing it and giving it a try. The demo seems very good. A lot different then scale, you can map to local storage. Create virtual networks within the cluster, spin up certain application and have them load in a certain order. I would take a look at it and see try the demo.

Update, I had a convo with Nodeweaver, They do not use Gluster or CEPH. They have their own. They have some pretty cool stuff. Pricing model is 1600 per node. That is a perpetual license.

They do have a monthly plan 99 per node comes with next day support. 8x5. then 149 per node 24/7 support.

The software can mix and match hardware, use any type of harddrive, servers etc. When the system detects a new node it will automatically load balance. How long ago did you look at Nodeweaver @scottalanmiller

Thinking about buying as much mosquito spray I can buy. If corona gets into mosquitos, Um..... it would be No bueno.

While watching master chef, and coding in Laravel.

I was researching on the web and I stumbled on a company called "node weaver". Anyone ever heard of them. It looks like a software based HCI that you can put on your own hardware. I am inquiring me to find out, however I am just curious if anyone has heard and or used them.

So I decided to take the CPU dual x5675 and 96gb ram and put it in my dell r710. with my raid h700 controller.

4tb are detecting.
