      @crustachio But yeah. This server is the stuff IT nightmares are made of. We have almost lost it several times. Recently a weird utility power issue "backfed" (or something, don't ask me, I don't do high voltage) our emergency generator and killed it during a power outage. So when our UPS finally failed it took this server and array down, and it was NONE TOO HAPPY when we tried to bring it back online.

      Thankfully we keep an exact duplicate on the shelf, so we did emergency transplanting (RAID controller died, along with some disks). Anyway, back up... for now. But yes, Sweaty Palms Achievement Unlocked.

      LOL... is this a thing, or did you generate it based on my post?

      Both... http://www.says-it.com/achievement/

      Sweet, I've been needing that.

      It's quite a lot of fun.

            My "uncle" is in the hospital in Rochester. He is 99 and this looks like it. His lung just collapsed and a kidney has shut down. But at 99, he's done pretty well. He's not exactly my uncle, actually my uncles brother in law, but effectively my uncle.

                    I gotcha. I'll just hide over here in the corner and send over well wishes & prayers.

                      For all we know, Scale Computing could be a non-entity 3 years from now. [I know that's not exactly the same -- even if Scale folded or was bought out, you would still retain VM mobility, but it was still a big investment]

                      As you mentioned though - Scale is only hardware that runs software that can run on any number of other platforms. The software within the VMs aren't tied to the hardware in any way (unless you're using some crazy licensing that reads something from the hardware - and well,... lol)

                          Right, the difference is that the platform is not proprietary, nor is the VM format nor are the OSes running on top of that. My backups from Scale can be restored to Xen, KVM, Hyper-V, ESXi or even bare metal today if need be. The migration off from Scale to something else is no more or less effort than if I had already been on the other thing. It's just a backup and restore, at most.

                          The investment is in the existing compute and storage and support, there isn't any lock in. We definitely wont' be running the same Scale cluster in 20 years time.

                          The difference is is that we didn't invest anything in technical debt, we've not taken on platform risk.

                                    Another IPOD setup, sounds like he has already purchased hardware and is asking for advice on how to set it up

                                          My executive director is being sheepish about it which is the entire reason i created this test server. She needs to be able to see it. I'm trying to get SELinux working properly currently in CentOS 7 😄
