I would be more worried about a vulnerability in the javascript framework supporting MeshCentral, so i would NOT put the MeshCentral server on the internet directly, but inside VPNs. Each of the sites on one VPN and the HIPAA site on another standalone VPN. MeshCentral inside both VPNs.

I would second what @JaredBusch said about the HIPAA site and automatic control of the desktop. I would hope if you need control after hours, you could simply reboot the machine and then no consent is necessary.

Lastly, there is a spot in the meshCentral configuration file and a cli option that logs anyone in without authentication - "User". It was meant for testing, enable "User" and all authentication is bypassed and logons occur automatically. One just might think keepass autologon was working really fast. So delete the User option from /opt/meshcentral/meshcentral-data/config.json and never pass it on the cli. Ditto for the "nousers" option.

@notverypunny, had some wishful thinking after seeing references to netDMA and Andy Grover, the developer of the iSCSi targetcli freebranch and now stratis who posted all the benchmarks and papers on ioat, and speeding up iSCSi type IO using RDMA / RoCE between Hypervisors is my goal. But then could not find Andy Grovers actual ioat patches or benchmarks to look for myself - 404s.

Encourage to make indoor soccer, indoor tennis, volleyball, and basketball. There is enough empty space for both.

Southroads mall in Omaha, Nebraska USA enclosed a colo type business many many years ago.

Not a big fan of Amazon in terms of supporting the tax base, but still uses the roads. Sports courts and CoLo.

In the Dell r720 "Lifecycle Controller" --> "System BIOS Settings" --> "Integrated Devices" sub section, both default to disabled:

• "i/oat dma engine" defaults to disabled

• "SR-IOV Global Enable" defaults to disabled

Hoping "i/oat dma engine" enables Remote DMA or RDMA over ConvergedEthernet or RoCE for hyperconverged storage. Thoughts?

If running xcp-ng, would you turn both of these on nowadays or just the SR-IOV "Virtualization Mode" in the "Integrated NICs" of "Device Level Configuration"?

@DustinB3403 i was confirming and adding details to your reply to @Darek-Hamann in the number of hypervisors supported. It can be free, so you mean costly as in windows licensing or performance? If performance, i would hope RDMA would solve that.

@olivier Definitely worth repeating this old post. Oracle has given back so much more than Amazon.

@DustinB3403 StarWinds webpage does not list Citrix, but
StarWind Virtual SAN FREE vs. PAID AUGUST 2018
has a logo for CitrixReady and lists support for KVM and Xen Project VMs.

"Shared storage for KVM, Citrix XenServer and Xen Project VMs (HA iSCSI & CA SMB 3.1.1)" pg 5.

StarWinds free edition specifically mentions HyperV, Xen, KVM, and
vSphere and even supports Remote Direct Memory Access RDMA for serious disk speed up.

Havent convinced management that $6000 for xosan is much less expensive than vmWare. And cannot prove that xosan is faster without much bigger virtual machine allowances in the trial version.
