What server/model is it?

HP ML350 Gen 10

https://techlibrary.hpe.com/docs/iss/ML350_Gen10/setup_install/

OK, looks like there are many storage options on that machine and many different raid controller options as well.

But, there are no SAS expanders on the backplanes. Backplanes are straight "dumb" wiring so to speak. HPE has an additional SAS expander card that have to be installed if you're using that.

So if you have 16 drive bays I assume 8x2.5" drive bays per "box". You then probably have it paired with the P816i-a controller in which case you have each drive bay directly wired to one SAS port from the controller.

So it makes no performance difference how you install the drives. I would however put the SSDs in one box (one backplane) and the HDDs in the other - just to make it less confusing and less of chance to pull the wrong drive when something fails.

I don't understand why you would use 2.5" HDDs at all though but that is another matter. The server can also be configured with one 8x2.5" and one 4x3.5" bay which would be my preference.

Yes, it is the HP SAS expander card I'm using.

Since the backplanes in that server doesn't do anything, it makes no difference in what bays you put the drives. Not from a performance perspective and not from a redundancy perspective.

From the SAS expander to the backplane to the drive is electrically the same as just having a straight cable. So there is nothing that can fail - unless you physically abuse it.

The backplane does have some electronic components on it though but that is for driving the LEDs in the drive bays.

Awesome thank you everyone!

I just found this. I guess it is called "Camp" or "Call Back"

Not I can start researching how to do it with VitalPBX.

The conversation here, on this topic was instrumental in getting me on the right path for a solution. Thank you all!
We can keep talking about it too, if you want 🙂

I really like Pluralsight. The Udemy courses I've taken have been okay, but haven't really been designed in a way to optimize learning.

@JasGot Awesome, thanks for the input. I'll look into SPF.

SPF is considered a requirement these days. And DKIM is heavily recommended.

People are starting to come around. I have been using DKIM for a few years for all services sending email outside our org. With O365, SPF and DKIM are part of the setup.

Same with Zoho.

Looks like adding under [Timer]

OnBootSec=10min OnUnitActiveSec=4h

Would do what I'm looking for, going to test.

I'm going to assume you used a chan_sip trunk.

Fist look at the chan_sip settings for NAT and the SIP signalling. Though nothing on the signaling side is set to 15 minutes. But since you need to check the NAT setting, check the other settings.

Now look at the RTP settings, this is set to 15 minutes by default

@Dashrender I didn't realize you still had a problem with KB4515384 as you never mentioned KB4515384 in the thread. It fixed it for me.

I haven't. This freshly installed machine (last tuesday) was the first time I've ever run into this issue.

Which frankly is surprising considering I am using a cleanup script that does disable Cortana... so I should have possibly been having this problems since the first patch issue...

@Pete-S Using a bullet point in a damn folder or file name is not at all normal!

Just discovered that someone on this forum was sending us files with bullet points in their names. But they are printable in our systems and cause no issues.

What file system are you using, some of the bullet points I've found are for actually creating the blip noises on archaic systems.

Don't know, our storage is a cloud platform.

@black3dynamite No change, still getting a blank connection.

Just a black session.

You need to put a route on the ASA so it knows how to get to VLAN 6

something like

route add 10.12.10.0/24 10.12.0.2

This is an example of a jbod expansion chassi. 88 drive bays total (both front and back).

Data flows between the server and the jbod chassi over SAS cables. Only thing needed to use a jbod chassis is a RAID/HBA card in your server with external ports.

Notice the SAS connectors to the right of the power supplies. Usually several JBODs can be connected together, aka daisy-chained, without putting more RAID cards in the server.

Same thing on Yealink SIP-T42S 66.84.0.80.

I'm out of easy ideas. I've been on site at a location all day.

Mine doesn't show it too.

@PhlipElder

YES YES YES SCREW AWS, they have this big marketing scheme for CEOs that force us to work for those CEOs that believe everything is better in AWS, and the server wont work properly unless its AWS, then when the bill comes we have to explain to them that we can never calculate the cost accurately cause it is Amazon AWS, and they charge for IOPS, and there is no way I can calculate that shit, its meant to be bill sinkhole for to pay bezos divorce settlement .

The Great Firewall of Cloud Marketing has done a great job of suppressing the billing shock that cloud brings with it. It's also been great at suppressing the movement back on-premises where costs are fairly well established.

We have a client we work with that has a handsome cloud credit every month well into five figures. They did some testing for their application work in-cloud to see how it would work. They burned through that five figure credit in a matter of a few days much to their surprise. They put their workload into that cloud, get it up and running, and then the following year that credit disappears. So, they get a billing spike on top of the six figure count it would cost them to run entirely all-in. We have a high performance all-flash hyper-converged solution set just for them. 🙂

@Dashrender GP is working, but I get errors. Some of which I believe are related to syntax changes from 2008 to 2016.

How about rebuilding one of the GPs, then disable the old one and enable the new one, and test?

Yeah I'm working through it slowly. It's applying most. I just see some errors I am trying to diagnose

Manual rebuild might be necessary.

Working with a vendor we use for special projects like this today. Definitely possible

@Dashrender said in How to possibly download older version of Windows 10:

https://winaero.com/blog/download-windows-10-version-1809-iso-images-directly/

This link walks you through tweaking Chrome on MS's page to look like you're using an iPAD Pro to download 1809 or 1903 directly.

So to summarize - if you just change the user agent in the browser, so Microsoft don't think you're running Windows, you can download iso-files directly.

Aka user agent spoofing.

Download link is:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10ISO

With Firefox you can just goto about:config and add a specific user agent string for microsoft.com by adding:
general.useragent.override.microsoft.com
And set it to this for example:
Mozilla/5.0 (iPad; U; CPU OS 3_2_1 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/531.21.10 (KHTML, like Gecko) Mobile/7B405

I'd love to see the Spazmatics again at the party but sounds like it may be country / western music. But I could be wrong...

They like to bring back popular bands, but traditionally not back to back years. So I'd expect someone else this year. Although C/W seems like a very unexpected selection.
