Well now it's mutal.

You can have replication if you have Starwind Clustering on the hosts (That's how I have some customers). That said, even on those situations I have a DC on the Local Host Hyperv of one of the servers or have a Site to Site VPN with a DC on Azure or AWS as a failsafe.

@Pete-S said in Hello IT Community!:

They don't manage or operate anything, they design different aspects of the car.

Well, in the race car analogy, lol, yes. But in IT they don't.

Software Engineer: Writes the code that runs on a router or switch.
Hardware Engineer: Designs the chips and motherboards of the router or switch.
Network Engineer: Determines which routers or switches to buy, how many, and how to initially configure/deploy them.
Network Admin: Maintains and adjusts routers and switches that are already in use.

The first two roles are software engineer and electrical engineer. They make products that you can sell and buy and neither would ever consider themselves IT in any way, and as IT we should naturally feel that they are very different.

The second two roles are IT. They don't make products, the configure and manage the products. The first two roles sit on the "Vendor side" of things . The second two sit on the customer side. The IT jobs are all about "using whatever products are right for our network and business needs", that's where they become IT.

@frodooftheshire said in Router placement with PTP Unifi network:

At the new office I have their new router in the rack and now I'm trying to decide if it should stay there or be placed at the original office where the Comcast circuit will reside.

Second site doesn't have any need for a firewall, do they? They don't have a WAN link.

@AlyRagab said in Asterisk/Elastix setup in AWS:

Actually it is a POC level of environment. I am convinced already that Asterisk "As a legacy app" is so difficult to make it cloud native kind of application.
For me i am away from the VoIP field since more than 4 years now, so is there any other complete solution that can be scaled and hosted in AWS ?.

You are getting things backwards. You should be responding with "oh, AWS and cloud are the wrong approaches for VoIP". It feels like you are driving with a solution and trying to find a goal. Cart before the horse. A POC of a fundamentally bad idea is still a bad idea and a waste of resources.

Is the idea of scaling VoIP interesting? Sure. Can you produce a use case for it? Maybe. But it'll be a stretch.

Does anyone make a complete solution? I doubt it. There's no market for it. The only places that could make use of it are enormous players who would make their own solution (e.g. Twilio) in order to do something unique. If you are the kind of shop that needs this, you can't really use someone else's product. If you need to do someone else's product, we can safely assume it's the wrong product for you.

@stacksofplates said in Proxmox pricing:

but users on your LAN need a link or some way of knowing it exists

Users of the things running on it do not.

If they're interacting with the hypervisor. Not like windows users. But anyone using the hypervisor would. Should have been a little clearer.

It definitely seems joined. I cannot even do anything form the IP of the second instance now.

But it is all enabled from the primary.

@coliver said in Log & Alerts Management:

Graylog would be the solution for that.

Recognise that name will have to look into that again

@scottalanmiller said in VULTR NJ location: Partial Power failure.:

But how did you determine that? I just looked at my servers and their specs only match server class Xeon processors (Skylake 16MB L3) so not sure how it is possible for them to be consumer.

I don't remember exactly. A couple of years ago you could determine that there was actually no xeon of that architecture that would fit with the GHz. Since they are obscuring the actual CPU in their linux kernel you can't read the model number outright. I going from memory here, but that was the gist of it.

@Dashrender said in User Account getting disabled in Azure:

o curious, if Azure is showing it as disabled - why is that not be

Azure Sync doesn't sync back to AD. it is the other way around.

Booted straight to the CentOS 4 ISO, went into linux rescue, updated the initrd img and bam. working system from the current (as of 4 days ago) manual disk images I made.

Next project to re-learn how they restore data files. Have not done that in almost 10 years. Having no virtual infrastructure to play with, prior to this, made that harder.

Honestly the best thing in my opinion is put k3os on it and run the stuff in a single node Kubernetes cluster. You'll get experience with k8s and the applications use very little resources when deployed this way.

That gif is brilliant.

Someone (mod) fix the damned link so it shows..

So piss off Microsoft.. I so do not want to remove and add a role to resolve a role not working right......

But I found no other solution yet.

My solution was to format and re-install. Lesson learned!

The first rule of Microsoft Store:

Don't remove Microsoft Store.

Yep!

the next thought is a faulty miniSAS SFF-8087 to 4x SATA cable but why would the WD gold drive work ?

Tha'ts a nice change. They've needed that for a while. Although the old method of versioning worked well too. You got certified on a thing that didn't change. So "up to date" didn't apply back then.
