Anyways, i won't lose the joy of using xen as i just upgraded my home server xen and added XO 🙂

Awesome!

@Grunberger Thanks for the follow up on this one!

I'm not sure if it detects and changes based on that or not.

Is it possible those settings were set by the H310 and just migrated to the H710?

If you swapped the disks from one to the other, absolutely. Did you have to recreate the RAID arrays?

Thanks! What do you use OwnCloud for?

We run one OC system that is used for a client that has clients that need to move files to and from them from loaned hardware. It's a weird, complicated scenario. But OC works beautifully for it and has for years.

We run E10.0.700.3 at the moment (1 Server 2012 VM that runs SQL 2012, 1 Server 2012 VM that runs the E10 appserver, and 1 Server 2012 VM that runs RemoteApp for the E10 client - all on the same ESXi host) and will likely move to E10.1 in the next few months. We actually found that at sites with low internet bandwidth, RemoteApp is a little slower than when the client is installed locally. One site running a T1 told us that, and we confirmed it to be the case. It may have had to do with the nice metro interface in E10. The sites with 35/5 coax or 10/10 fiber seem to run RemoteApp about the same as installing the client locally.

I actually heard someone say at Epicor Insights 2015 that Epicor 10 ran better when installed locally on client machines connecting over site-to-site VPN. We never really had to test that theory other than at the site with a T1 that I mention here.

Makes sense. Although I am a little worried that the new pool just died all by itself. I wonder why that would happen. Will see if it happens again.

LandLine - as to your questions about VOIP or copper - I'm assuming it means the use of a traditional telephone in the home, which would include VOIP if that's tied into your typical home phone. But again, these are crazy questions that need more information before you gather any meaningful information from the data.

Yeah, but landline doesn't MEAN that. If you have a landline over VoIP, would you even know? To a normal user, a landline is a phone to their house rather than their cell phone. Maybe to IT people we would just to the POTS conclusion, but that is not what the question asks nor what non-technical people would even be able to determine.

You're right to a non-technical person Laneline means your normal home phone. I know I am using VOIP, because Cox home telephone service is VOIP converted to copper in the home.

These days, tons of people are on VoIP and have no idea. Maybe half!

It totally makes since, why manage two separate networks if you don't absolutely need to.

I think some of these old school voice guys still want a security blanket where they don't have to think about a data network. Guess I can understand to a degree but you have to keep evolving to stay relevant.

More of a "they want a job since they aren't IT guys."

Happy to see it tested intensively 🙂

Installation (to me) involves the configuration of the application in question. Word for example has to be installed because it has to be configured into the registry.

To me, installation means "registering with a database" like RPM, MSI, or DEB do. But not configuring. If you install Word but don't configure it, it is still installed but won't run until it gets credentials, for example. But we all consider it to be installed before being configured.

I'll give you that one.

Exactly. Job manager is "generic": it allows you to build complex planned stuff (like shutdown those VM during the night, and create another job to start them in the morning).

It's very very generic.

Backup is a kind of specific planned job.

Look up similar specs on Ebay. And then depending on age, mark it up 10-30%.

mark it up? I would think mark it down (assuming a direct sale) because ebay and paypal eat into the sale price.

Leaves room if buyer wants to bargain. And there's always the chance that somebody will pay what you actually ask for it.
A real life example: a little over a year ago I planned to but iPad Air 2, and I wanted to sell or trade iPad 3. I put it up on Craigslist for $250, I was ready to go down to $200-$210 (I'm greedy, I know). BestBuy was giving me $181 I think. Almost every offer I got was in the $75-$150 range. The max I was able to get after negotiations was $180. I traded it in at BestBuy anyway, and got to keep the charger.

Stick 60172 in there to see my current selection. My old house was in 62234. Both had decent selection.

I would start with going through all the security groups member/member of. We ran into similar problem before where certain admins lose their administrator rights. Turn out they didn't have the rights from the beginning as the member they were given, named admin, does not contain administrators group. They got their administrator rights through another group, named audit, which was removed for reasons. It was a mess for a day.

To prevent this incident from happening again I would use GPO to give every machine within AD the rights for administrators group to gain remote access. In my environment we create a security group named remoteaccess for RDP

Reading the below stats is a bit, awkward to say the least it shows the information, but it's not entirely clear in my opinion. XenCenter seems to graph the disk usage more accurately at the Hypervisor level. (shown below is XO showing the Hypervisor level)

When you select a VM though you get something similar to below.

0_1452189500086_2016-01-07_12-58-12.png

Now I personally, don't care so much about an individual VM's disk performance, I care about the host. So for me using XenCenter provides a "better" explanation of what I'm reading.

That's pretty cool. However keep in mind that in some cases, a single VM's disk performance can be hurting performance for the other VMs as well.

Tom's Harware has a list made for SAM.

I agree. Looks like a Radion R7 360 is currently the sweet spot.

Want GTX to interface with Steam.

What does this mean? Are we talking about the driver integration that Steam does? Or is there something more?

Steam has several features that use the NVidia streaming technology that is only included in GTX model GPUs. You can use Steam without it, but not all Steam features like the Steam Link.

AMD has a separate recording app now. It might do streaming, haven't looked for that. It works with all games tho, not just Steam ones.

Does your roll out slowly still plan to be done by July 30?

Well yes and no. We will only do office machines not POS machines so the number is more like 150-200 machines 😄
But also we will only do them when we can and as many as we can lol.

@Dashrender said:

For Knowledge sake - is HALizard something akin to StarWind's vSAN module?

No, HA-Lizard has no storage component. DRBD, which is in the Linux kernel, is like the StarWinds VSAN module. HA-Lizard is a script that automates the setup of DRBD, Xen HA and other features and adds its own fencing so that you can do effective two node HA setups.

Of note,.. it seems that it is not just KeePass "one point three" or "two point three" - in each case, it's the thirtieth published incarnation of that particular version of KeePass after the "point zero" version (as commented from below).

lol. I reckon I'll have to try and do the update since it has been squealing at me for a few weeks now.
