RE: What Is Microsoft SQL Server Replication? A Complete Overviewposted in Starwind
Microsoft databases and "mission critical" can never be used together. Either your workload is important, or you can run it on this crap. But by deploying SQL Server, you are defining your workload as "not worth thinking about." Because clearly, it wasn't thought about.

RE: RAID 5 vs RAID 6: Which One Is Actually Safe in 2025?posted in Starwind
@dave247 said in RAID 5 vs RAID 6: Which One Is Actually Safe in 2025?:
All my vendors recommend to avoid RAID all together, so we don't use it on the servers where I work.
Even I rarely use it. With good backups, rapid rebuilds, and highly reliable NVMe, RAID has become a very special use case.

I had a fun night last night adding storage to a server. When I went to move VM storage location, found a checkpoint (Hyper-V, ugh) from 2018.... Took a long while to coalesce.
This morning everything had finally coalesced and moved to the new storage array. Only took ~10 hours.
You're using Hyper-V? How's that been going and what management tools are you using?
I had some lunatic INSTALL it in the last two months! W.T.F.
Was it installed properly, IE with the Hyper-V iso and not via a Windows Server Role installation?
Does that still exist?
