To add to this- I have an error that started appearing after updating their Fedora 29 and 30 instances. Further testing found that the error appears in different regions using their server type template installers or even a custom iso option that I used with net install. All I have to do is deploy, run dnf update and reboot. The error is present in every boot after the update.

@DustinB3403 said in Setting up an HP DL185 G5:

@Dashrender That is where I was thinking a surveillance system would be a good use. I could use it as a backup repo for my VMs as well with a simple NFS share.

Just needing some things to do with it, maybe something the kid could eventually use. (years from now. . . she's almost 1 already.)

All these things basically go directly to what Scott said - make it a giant storage array.

Thanks! Checking out setting this up. Hopefully, it will reveal the culprit.

@WrCombs said in Database Server vs File Server: What's Different:

Is it possible for a File server to run a database server ? how would that be classified at that point ?

No, conceptually that would not mean anything. A file server and a database server are discrete concepts.

A single operating system can run neither, either, or both. But as servers themselves, they are discrete.

I gotcha. It was one of those hypothetical questions

What's messy is that technical file servers are a very, very specific form of database server. Because a file server presents a file system over a network. And a file system is a special case database.

No one really thinks about this and absolutely no one will talk about file servers this way, but for understanding what is actually happening... file servers are special purpose database servers. And that is very easy to prove.

So a file server is a database server, but a database server is not a file server. But file servers are so common, unique, and discrete, we treat them as totally different animals and no one considers the two to even be similar.

@Emad-R said in Linux NFS SSD caching:

AID 10 on Linux File Server machine, how can I speed up this NFS storage by an intelligent
cache, for example I wish to add another 250 GB SSD to act as cache, how will tha

Yeah the RAID 10 is on HDD, due to cost effectiveness. Will check LVM since its baked in.

@JaredBusch I don't know if you ever finished up with this client, but for $1236 you can get a decent server that would work well.

Add $99 if you wanted the 3 year warranty

@EddieJennings said in Typical virtualization host server config?:

@Pete-S said in Typical virtualization host server config?:

We've calculated guesstimated 8GB RAM and 50 GB SSD storage per VM on average.

How did you come up with your guesstimate? Do you have some workloads in production right now that you'd be virtualizing with whatever host your configure and buy?

Yes, actually we have the hardware now but it hasn't been configured completely yet. We are still figuring things out.

The workloads are running on physical servers (Windows) and it's latency that is our primary concern, not capacity. We are moving the applications to linux and making them multi-tenant and horizontally scalable at the same time. So that's why we are guesstimating based on the config of the physical servers.

Is SuiteCRM's Cases feature decent?

Not a sales guy, not sure how it is.

@sickless316 said in DELL PowerEdge T410 - Memory Configuration Issues:

@pete-s how does any of this make my sense at all??? Did anyone even read any of this thread before posting???

You say he CANT use 16gb sticks which he has CLEARLY done already and have worked but instead of giving good answers you guys pressure people to move on because the people commenting on here either can’t read or don’t know enough already...

This is aggravating because every post about the T410 gets cut off with nonsense like this crp...

He used 16gb sticks so remove your comment, or don’t make one and move on if you didn’t have the answer to the question you just made the question more confusing

If you read more carefully next time, you might not become aggravated. What is supported and what works are two different things.

Reason to move on from old hardware is because for companies IT is a business, not a hobby. Spending time on something costs money, so the potential benefit has to outweigh the cost.

@black3dynamite said in Server Time Zone configuration:

What does BIOS time use local time or UTC?

Whatever you set it to?

BIOS: local time or UTC
OS: UTC

Or is only an issue if you are dual booting?

In general I don't care about the BIOS/UEFI time because I sync my devices from a time server. that just means I need to set my devices to the correct timezone, then the time will come over as desired.

@dustinb3403 said in Veeam Free Windows Server Backup Agent:

So the biggest item missing from the Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows is it lacks a central management component.

Which isn't horrible but it does leave some things to be desired. . .

No, it is not missing. That is a feature of the Veeam B&R product. You can (or soon can) manage Veeam Endpoints that point to a Veeam B&R instance.

Yea with licensing, the topic is solved. Veeam Endpoint works without limits. But it lacks a central management interface.

B&R is a licensed product, right?

Yes, it is.

@bbigford said in Goto Linux Server OS:

RHEL if support is required, CentOS if I'm being lazy on updates (joke); beginning to just use Fedora Server for everything not requiring support. I will probably start phasing out CentOS.

That's what we are doing. CentOS is nearly gone now. Only required for Zimbra.

Zimbra actually requires CentOS? Can't use FS? 😐

Zimbra does not require CentOS, you can also use Ubuntu which others might not like.

We mean in the context of the RPM distos. It only supports Ubuntu LTS and not current which is arguably not even a form of support since Ubuntu’s own support path can be to force you to current meaning Zimbra isn’t actually supported in that ecosystem.

Yeah, Zimbra supports Ubuntu 16.04 LTS but yeah we are almost on 18.04

Yeah. So far worse than only supporting CentOS 7 in the RPM world. At least RHEL 7 offers full support from the vendor, not partial.
