      @nadnerB you been up to the Kimberley? Gee's that bloody nice up there.

      I was going to do the Canning Stock Route this year, going north to south. The northern end is around 400kms east of Broome and goes down to Wiluna.

      One problem I was going to have was not throwing everything in when I get up there and just run away into the Kimberley, just so beautiful.

        Is there a "migration" path to go from ESXi to KVM? Without the need to format the storage, or is it advised to backup and re-create all VM's and storage?
        Also what are people using for their base KVM, Fedora/CentOS/Ubuntu?

        Think it's time to move the home lab to it. Also i want to do Hardware passthrough (namely GPU) and looking it seems to be better in KVM)

          You can use virt-v2v. I believe @JaredBusch used it when migrated a Hyper-V VM to KVM.
          If possible, I would migrate the data over instead.

          Also what are people using for their base KVM, Fedora/CentOS/Ubuntu?

          Fedora gives the opportunity to have latest greatest that comes with KVM from the kernel and managing tools. Especially if you want to use Cockpit to manage your KVM. Fedora always gets the latest version of Cockpit.
          Another option is to use Proxmox and here's the link to Migration of servers to Proxmox VE.

          Think it's time to move the home lab to it. Also i want to do Hardware passthrough (namely GPU) and looking it seems to be better in KVM)

          I have never tried GPU passthrough before on KVM. Here's some info from a Proxmox point of view but it shouldn't be too much different with your chosen Linux distro and KVM.

            Looking into it i only really have 400G of data on a plex server so will just backup and and create all new storage and VMs

            Another option is to use Proxmox

            What's the difference to this and KVM? is it just a all in one box like ESXi/vSphere?

              Must say looking through the guides, looks like a lot of work to get GPU passthrough working compared to ESXi

                As someone who works for an Avaya partner/reseller I can't wait to find out more about this whole Avaya Cloud offering staring RingCentral.

                I've been contacted by no less than 3 partner/resellers about this. I simply haven't had the time to do more about it other than to attend a presentation. No nuts and bolts, just slides & a few questions.

                It's RC and Avaya, no real reason to look at it. Your time matters, so looking at solutions you know aren't realistic are important to skip to make sure you have time for what's needed.

                RC is a decent solution for the right need. It is a limited scope IMO, but it is valid.

                Avaya on the other hand is just a cesspool. Bankruptcy to NYSE listing in 2 years? Yeah, money grab.

                It's also not their 1st bankruptcy if I remember correctly. I didn't recommend this when we upgraded, but the boys went with brand recognition over looking deeper into alternatives.

                    here is the thread I made on the subject: https://www.mangolassi.it/topic/19781/converting-hyper-v-to-kvm

                    I did, for this system.

                      Yeah, that’s why I haven’t considered trying it.

                                        Unless you need a ton of simultaneous faxes (and perhaps even then) will ever be less expensive than your rolling your own with a fax card and a NAS to drop them on.

                                        I guess it really depends what you need from the solution.

                                        I get around 700 pages/day. The last several solutions I looked at were going to be around $1000/m. I have two in-house All-In-Ones that I have two POTS lines connected to, and the machines just save the files to a NAS in PDF form, Already had the All-In-Ones ($700/ea) so I pay around $50/m for the POTS lines total. But I can live with everything being inhouse, perhaps you can't.

                                            If l give that up, I would look George Jefferson or the sea when Moses parts the sea in the Ten Commandments movie.
