      @Dashrender I originally purchased it to play with stuff at home, but decided to leave it at the office and use it here for now. I didn't spend very much money, i got the servers for $75/ea.

            nice.
            I have two DL380 G5s that I need to convert to VM hosts, but getting the 700 GB off the first server is the current issue.

                      Funny, just an hour ago I was dishing out some food for the kids and I was touching it and thinking about this very thing. And in my head I heard "but I don't know where his hands have been" but then in head I replied "but you don't know where the plates or forks have been either, so....?"

                          I have two VM hosts currently, but only one has the free space to take this as a P2V. The software on it isn't supported anymore, and can't be upgraded. It's more or less just a read only type situation.

                          The last time I kicked off a P2V to took 4 days and eventually failed because we had a power outage right at the end.

                              It happens more often than not almost everywhere.

                              I used to just toss it, now I eat it. Trying to get better. The world is full of germs.

                              Every place that fills up soda is like that. Thumb in the cup, dirty hands on cup, dirty cup in ice.

                                Generally dirty ice too... those ice makers are downright disgusting.

                                    I'm starting a week long test of Xen Orchestra to backup a VM, of which will run every day at midnight, the next day I'll add a new document to the desktop, and let it continue.

                                    After a week I'll be testing the restore functionality, to see if we can restore to every specific day, pick and choose, or gain everything back (as expected)

                                    Should be good.

                                    Wish me luck this is all built on the opensource "unsupported" versions.
