@Pete-S I want to open up a browser & type in the name of a computer on vlan10 & have the traffic flow through.
Right now, the traffic tries to go through the gateway on 1.1.1.1

On my FC30 desktop, I have one nic, subnet is 1.1.1.1
I also have a vlan 10, subnet is 2.2.2.2
On vlan 10, there is a dns server at 2.2.2.200

How can I "route" specific traffic to through vlan 10?

Cloud is 10000% reliable....it never fails, it's the cloud. Don't need no stinkin' backup, it's in the cloud!

What are good options for "small" tapes setups, kinda like a 5, 6 or xx bay Synology for tape?

Very nice.

That’s one thing that’s seriously missing from FusionPBX!

8003733411. Some VOIP provider gave me that number many moons ago!

There is a number for SIP service, let me see if I can dig it up.

Directory assistance as in 411?

I first heard about @Skyetel through FusionPBX.

Over the years having used providers like bandwidth.com, Vitelity, Appia, SigmaVOIP, Birch, CBeyond, Twilio etc. Initially, I was skeptical...

Overall, I've been very happy, love the service & love the management console.
I'm in the process of porting all my DIDs to Skyetel (I'll keep Twilio as a backup)
For me, Skyetel + FusionPBX = :thumbs_up: :thumbs_up:

fyi: I was already on Skyetel before they advertised on this site.

Anyhow, this is just my opinion, no one asked me to write this nor was I paid to do it.

I use the following:
host or function/task | prd or lab | location | client domain.com

eg, dc-01.prd.la2.bob.com
dc-01 = domain controller
prd = production
la2 = LA2 co-lo
bob = client's name

Does Nutanix count?

Nutanix at 3 nodes is 6 figures. So it does not count.

@FATeknollogee said in HCI vendors: software or hardware:

Correct, but you still need Windows to manage the Linux version...which makes no sense to me.

I reached out to Starwind & stand corrected.
Windows is not needed to manage Starwind VSAN for vSphere & KVM (upcoming, still in beta)

@PhlipElder said in HCI (Scale, Starwind etc): vm layout:

I'm not sure what "Hyper-V partition" means.

I meant to say the host o/s partition.

@PhlipElder said in HCI (Scale, Starwind etc): vm layout:

We've taken to setting up a dedicated pair of domain controllers in the node's local Hyper-V setup as opposed to making them highly available in our Storage Spaces Direct and disaggregate (Nodes + shared SAS JBOD(s)).

Setting up the DC in the Hyper-V partition?

@DustinB3403 said in HCI vendors: software or hardware:

I'm pretty positive it requires a windows guest to be supplied the storage, which then gets passed out to the hypervisor.

It used to be Windows based.

Correct, but you still need Windows to manage the Linux version...which makes no sense to me.

@DustinB3403
Looks like you can use Cockpit to do some stuff but you still need the Starwind Management Console (which is Windows)

@DustinB3403
from https://www.vladan.fr/starwind-vsan-for-vsphere-new-release/
StarWind Virtual SAN for vSphere -is a VMware-only Software-Defined-Storage stack. A ready-to-go Linux VM installs on the cluster nodes to share their storage resources.
Once installed, Virtual SAN creates a fault-tolerant storage pool available to the entire vSphere cluster. VSAN users get limitless virtualization capabilities in terms of features, storage capacity, and cost-efficiency. Enterprise-level functionality and performance are available in the infrastructure of your choice.

@DustinB3403 said in HCI vendors: software or hardware:

Because the VSAN software is built to use Windows and Powershell to manage the supplied storage.

Starwind vSAN for vSphere is 100% Linux?

@scottalanmiller said in StarWind HCA is one of the 10 coolest HCI systems of 2019 (so far):

KVM is definitely supported, talked to management in the last twelve hours. Just not advertised.

Any specific reason for the non-advertisement of KVM?

Looking at the Starwind vSAN for vsphere notes: https://www.starwindsoftware.com/resource-library/starwind-virtual-san-for-vsphere

You still need Windows to help "manage" the vsphere install...why?
