HPE (the company we used to call HP) has teamed up with Microsoft to deliver a single chassis, four node Azure cluster that you can deploy in your own datacenter. Using VSAN technology, but within a single chassis, the four node cluster in a box lets you fully replicate the Azure ecosystem on premises so that you can seamlessly move workloads between your own premises and the Azure public cloud. Trevor Potts of The Register reports on this interesting new offering.

HPE IE: We changed the name and STILL, just don't get it. Ref: "The Azure in a can 250 is a 2U chassis containing 4 nodes lashed together into a hyper-converged cluster using HP's StoreVirtual software." Let's go IPOD instead of Scale Computing. sigh

Why do you assume IPOD? can't you have replicated data within the cluster just like Scale's systems?

It's a single 2u chasis with 4 compute nodes. How is that not IPOD?

Not an IPOD. I think you mean a SPOF.

IPOD = Inverted Pyramid of Doom
SPOF = Single Point of Failure

And IPOD is a SPOF on the bottom with a widenly HA architecture build on top to hide the SPOF and make it look HA but underneath is still a SPOF.

I could see an argument made for the chassis being a layer even beneath the storage layer that is a SPOF and then everything being HA built on top of that, but as we don't normally talk about chassis and physical aspects in an architectural design I wouldn't. It's not a 3-2-1 architecture (IPOD) but it does have a SPOF.

Yep, sure enough, I'm mixing up acronyms.

I downloaded Vermintide and Elite Dangerous last night. I setup my gaming PC in my living room again but still stuck with a Steam Controller, which is actually pretty great.

Nice.

I did end up grabbing Elite Dangerous: Horizons this week. My advice is to enjoy ED and skip Horizons for the time being. Lots of little details need fleshed out yet with Horizons. The best ways to make money are still fighting in a High-Intensity Resource Extraction site and rare commodity trading. Fighting in resource extraction sites is actually safer for me than rares trading (not hauling illegal goods around all the time.)

I get that a lot when people ask about a Mac for their kids.

You get what?

Actually a Mac doesn't have this problem (other than - why is a MAC more expensive than a Windows machine). Apple only has one line of laptops/desktops/etc. And they are all expensive. Apple doesn't make low end shit.

Or they ONLY make low end shit. It's the high end that Apple is missing. Just because they only make one thing doesn't make it high end. Nor does that it is expensive.

You think MACs are low end shit? You feel they have less quality (in hardware) the most business class tier 1 providers?

They make the best low end shit around! At least they actually support their products, which is really what you're paying for. Seriously, even a Mac Pro could only be considered a mid-range machine for Video editing, CAD work, etc.

More or less you are asking for headphones that are like the universal translator of Star Trek. It's a neat idea and, in theory, Google can do this. However the processing power needed to do this in real time is immense and could not be put into headphones yet. As a concept, yes it can be done. In a practical sense, it cannot be done yet.

Can we create a replicator also?

I want a transporter before a replicator. We're getting closer to replicators with 3d printers, but they're still a ways off.

"The Internet" is back on. RAID battery replaced, failing hard drive swapped out. You may now proceed with your regularly scheduled program

@scottalanmiller Why, oh why, did I go look at that thread.

Family Guy, because Stewie.

Haven't had cable for ~3 years now, so assume all opinions are old and uniformed.

@DustinB3403 Sorry, I mean for XenServer.....

You should have set a management interface during the setup stages. Point a web browser at that IP address. If not, you'll need to login using a local console as the root user, and from that change the settings via the menu system provided.

Note that you only configure the management interface. None of the other interfaces will be configured on XenServer itself.

Assuming this is for a server (what CentOS is generally used for), try starting at techmint

Apparently I'm trolling mangolassi.it while waiting for downloads to finish, equipment to arrive, and people to go home so I can turn the internet off for a bit.

I have two VM hosts currently, but only one has the free space to take this as a P2V. The software on it isn't supported anymore, and can't be upgraded. It's more or less just a read only type situation.

The last time I kicked off a P2V to took 4 days and eventually failed because we had a power outage right at the end.

ROFL.... 98.... 99%.... blip 1....2.....

sigh - I hate you

Who here hasn't been there, done that?

the power outage or hating @dafyre ?

Yes

@Dashrender Never heard of it.... runs off to read

I've been using it for at least 2 years, if not more like 4.

Does it work well?

It does find things from time to time. I will have to do double scans for the next few times, once with Clam and again with Defender Offline and see if they show different things - though now that i think about that.. that won't work.. as the first AV should get rid of any badies on there.

If you do it a number of times, reversing which one you use first, it would be an indication if one is missing things.

I didn't know you could go in whatever pattern. I always filled from 0-x

I always thought you had to do that as well.

And even though it always worked with gaps, wondered if it would cause issues.

The only problems random drive placement may cause is when replacing failed drives, by the person pulling the wrong drive..... which shouldn't be an issue, you have documentation on where each drive is, right? RIGHT?

Most alerts I get tell me which bay the drive is in. Not sure if that is the same on Dell servers?

On the server with a real RAID adapter it'll tell me, but my software based RAIDs generally aren't so nice because they don't know.

I guess if you put them in one at a time and set them up, you'd know then.

Bet you'd never guess that I've about bit myself doing this a number of times.

You mean nobody has a PXE boot to scanner option setup? What are we coming to? Actually, I'm guessing by the time we're considering an off-line scan it's past time to nuke-it-from-orbit.
