MangoLassi Meetup in NYC
-
Here's a link to the Google Hangout.
-
It keeps saying I don't have access to the event so I can't click on Yes, I even tried maybe just to make sure, still nothing.
-
That is because it starts at 3pm est.
-
Everyone listening to @Josh present
-
Awesome
-
I've been there before! Right about where @Minion-Queen was sitting! LOL
-
I'm guessing @Josh wasn't there in person (that's where the TV is).
-
It was cool to watch, I don't know if there was technical difficulties or it just ended, but I do know even with all the minor fires I've had to put out here at work I did catch up right when it ended. I want to be there next time.

@J1MM3RT the hangout got ended. A new one was started but there wasn't a notification. No one knew how they worked - this was a first time using them. Here is the second hangout but sadly the audio just "stopped" so the talk didn't get recorded except for the first bit.
-
@scottalanmiller Sweet something for my Sunday Funday @ work. Thanks

No audio after the first few minutes. Hoping to come up with a way to recreate it.
-
@scottalanmiller Oh I guess I read that previous post too fast, & misinterpreted it. I thought it was the reverse, need more caffeine in me.

Vacations and everything done (I need a longer one than just part of last week btw), I finally connected with @BradfromxByte and @ryan-from-xbyte and the server is on the way along with an additional 3 drives for a very respectable price.
Looking forward to setting this up as a test environment for our company. Our only other server has pretty much no space available for testing things alongside the production VMs.Very friendly guys and I look forward to doing more business with XByte in the future.

Awesome. What model is it that you are getting?

Bought 3 more 2TB drives for it.. I mean what can you do with 3 drives and a raid card? Setup a RAID5?

RAID 1 and a backup.

Might be worth just adding an extra drive. For a lab you could get away even with RAID 0 depending on how you intend to use it. If you want data protection, add a drive and go RAID 10. If not, RAID 0 is actually fine because if it blows up and you lose everything you get to do the project of rebuilding it all again.
Or restoring from backup, if you go that route.

I bought 3 as stated, and plan to use a single RAID10 datastore. I am still debating on Hyper-V or VMware. I have a lot more experience with the latter. Initially, I will migrate my production VMs to this and those are currently on a VMWare 5.1 host. I want to move everything to provide the opportunity to update some hardware on the production server.
So really the decision is if I want to convert my production server to Hyper-V or not. As we maintain a MAPS (or whatever it is called now) subscription, we have access to any of the MS Server technologies we want for internal use.
