If you're doing it for the capacity then a separate RAID-0 volume for each disk would be the way to go.

If a disk fails all data on RAID-0 volumes using that disk is lost.

I would still recommend using a redundant volume. If the capacity on a single disk is an issue then with a 4-bay NAS you can get 3x the capacity of a 2 disk NAS, using RAID-5 with 4 disks compared with RAID-1 with 2 disks.

Finally, everything is working fine! 🙂

That was tough! But now seems to be an easy one, Just need to learn more and dive deep into SP.

Don't really see bandwidth bottlenecks around here. I never saturate my lines.

Looks like I need to upgrade to iCloud Drive from iCloud.

Currently there are only backups in my iCloud, the pictures aren't synced to iCloud Photos, from what I can tell.

I can see why this was done.

Exactly. I totally see why it is done. You just wrote out "confusion" in a really lengthy way. I never said that I didn't understand, my point was that I did understand and I was stating why.

Oh go ahead and pick on me everyone else does 😝

Hey, that's ALSO MY job! 😛

Not impressive. At least the FTC managed to catch them.

I am unable to find anything on a work around. Nice thought at least

Yeah we have a couple other clients who have used them and never had an issue. The one particular customer needs and exorcism of their environment everything that can possibly go wrong will. NexVortex is just in a long line of things right now.

Honestly it seems like a good idea. If I get my files encrypted it's nice to know that the actual person who did it is the one contacting me and to know that the process is actually reversible and that everything wasn't just scrambled.

Like I said, it's the classic demand of proof-of-life from a kidnapping

There is no foolproof way to stop a child from doing what he/she wants to do. The parents can only make it more fun and rewarding in the end.

FTFY

I refuse to agree publicly with that comment...<evil grin>

Good read, thanks.

How about for building a system image that you intend to deploy later using SmartDeploy, etc.? We use VMWare Player to build and make edits to the image, and that is about all we do with type 2 hypervisors.

Good example.

There is a very high possibility that the IP it was operating on was the iDRAC's IP. I wonder if the iDRAC console somehow became the active connection.

That's an interesting thought. Not sure how that could have happened but since the IPs overlapped.... hmmm...

I've got to travel under 2 hours to Memphis to take them...

Ouch. Of course, I probably have to do nearly that much by train to get to a testing center so I am likely in a similar boat.

Anything "Office" related for certification seems to be in Memphis for me...everything else is up the road at a college or in Little Rock.

For those interested, NTG now has the Drobo B800i iSCSI SAN being used as a datastore for a XenServer cluster in the NTG Labs.

@scottalanmiller well, no one said it's a one size fits all :p. To keep within our requirements, that's how we have to play it. 😞

I understand, you are doing it because some civil servant decided that making a forced insecure requirement would look better on getting a promotion than actually protecting the government. Same way it works here. It's just a form of corruption - in this case, probably some combination of inept, lazy or just willing to be insecure to avoid the same issues from inept or lazy people above them. Somewhere, someone who doesn't understand security (we hope that's all that it is) makes the decisions as an administrator and not as an IT pro. It's corrupt because obviously they know that they don't know anything about security, yet they make the judgement call anyway. Hopefully their corruption is just in being inept and being willing to do a job they don't know how to do.

That's a lot of pent up frustration, bad experience or just frustration at ignorant buttheads making rules they don't understand?

Anyway... Yeah, sounds about right.
