Recently got a quote for the following used server --

Dell R720 SFF
Dual E5-2670 8 core 2.5 Ghz
192 GB RAM
8x New Samsung 480GB SSD 
H710 integrated LSI SAS RAID 0-6
16 drive Bay server
Dual 750W power supply
Rail kit
1 year warranty

Quoted price was $2629/ea. The plan would be to replace my aging R905 with two newer servers.

Comments or suggestions?

Maybe use the new equipment in production and turn your existing production equipment into your test environment?

Spinning disks should always be RAID 10. You may want to check the difference in pricing if you went with SSDs.

Questions for you --

• What is your budget?
• Have you considered refurb instead of new?
• What type of workload?
• What hypervisor will it be running?
• Any Windows VMs?

How Citrix dropped the ball on Xen ... according to Citrix

What version of Chrome? They just released v106, so maybe that is a factor. Is there anything in your environment that would require a new release to be whitelisted?

Can't you use dbbackup to perform an online backup? I believe that is what was used in some software that I previously used.

@gjacobse said in Random Thread - Anything Goes:

Boy - is he going to be disappointed... We still don't have flying cars... much less hovering towns, cities or homes...

They still have ~40 years to develop all that stuff.

@Pete-S Why are you considering the move from xcp-ng?

if ($UserE.enabled -eq "False") {

Try if ($UserE.enabled -eq $False) {

if ($UserE.enabled -ne "True") {...

This works, but not in the way you think. It would likely give the incorrect result when enabled is $True.
