      Printers (and their evil offspring FAX) need to die a horrible death

      Don’t disagree, but I don’t get that choice… no faxes,.. but plenty of printers. But that’s a shipping environment.

        The junk pile has been taken away for recycling! An estimated 2000lbs! And secure destruction of all the hard drives!

          @gjacobse I'm dealing with a MFP device that prints but wrong font so everything's all messed on formatting; AND then they also want it to fax; through a Grandstream ATA to a SIP service and that keep failing. Trying to convince them to move to an HTTPS fax service instead

            @RojoLoco Was there anything good in there? I have determined I need to build the home lab back up.

              Nope, all old junk, no servers in this run. But I have a pile of Dell 12G and 13G rack servers that are going to be on the chopping block soon.

                We have several desk MFPs, as well as office MFPs,.. and Zebra's.. whee.. oh the fun. Yea,.. time to move to a fax service - modernize that analog crap.

                    Server was slow all day.. checked things no errors. Checked iDRAC, no errors in RAID array.. /shrug

                    Arrived on site just after 6pm, ran updates on the hypervisor and rebooted.

                    server did not come online....

                    Fuck.. Went into server room, 3 of 6 drives offline.

                    Thank god for OBR10..... All three disks were part of a different span (mirror).

                    Rebooted server and continued past the controller warning to get hte server online.

                    Waiting for the host to get stable with the degraded array and slotted one drive back in. It spun up and auto rebuild kicked in. Waited 10 minutes between drives and did the other 2 also.

                    Now waiting for the rebuild to finish.

                          Backed up my home lab to Backblaze B2. Now I'm going to destroy my esxi server (spun up for testing) and move to Proxmox.

                            @AdamF Sweet. I switched from straight KVM to Proxmox.

                                That's a huge leap, the worst to the best, IMHO. Now that Hyper-V is gone, VMware stands out even more for how weak and problematic it is.

                                We've started moving the fleet to ProxMox and do about one migration per seek (moving something like 200 servers.) Every update is just fantastic. Makes everything so much easier and more reliable.

                                  I was bummed out about the Hyper-V announcement. But from what everyone on here is reporting, it sounds like Proxmox has improved significantly since the last time I evaluated it. (2, probably almost 3 years ago)

                                    It's definitely worlds ahead of Hyper-V. ProxMox has improved a lot both as a product and, from what I can tell, as a company. We've been consistently thrilled with them. We were replacing Hyper-V with ProxMox before Hyper-V was "discontinued" because we got better stability, and massively better management through the process.

                                      @AdamF want to see a slam dunk for ProxMox?

                                      Install NetData on it. You'll never consider Hyper-V or VMware a player again. LOL. ProxMox + NetData is SO good.

                                      Then consider things like SSH, SSH Tunneling for web, and/or MeshCentral and you leap forward yet again with ProxMox.
