Other then not having hot-swap bays... this is tempting - http://www.ebay.com/itm/HP-Proliant-DL165-G7-server-2x-12-core-AMD-Opteron-6172-48GB-RAM-750GB-HD-/221952681299?hash=item33ad692553:g:dwYAAOSwAYtWK-61
nice - could make a nice place to play with a bunch of linux VMs
I wonder how loud it is?
Very loud. I don't know if that has a RAID controller either. Those Opterons aren't the most power friendly.
definitely knew they are power hungery little beasts! no RAID? hmm.. might not be worth it then... have to drop a $400-$800 RAID controller ... hmmm.
Software RAID... the non-hotswap is an issue too but not that bad.

Can you do software RAID on the boot drive in Hyper-V or XenServer?

I'd run XenServer from a USB key and setup those drives in an MD array.

Does Hyper-V (Windows) have software RAID?

Does Hyper-V (Windows) have software RAID?
Well, a full install of Windows with the Hyper-V role definitely does. Does Hyper-V core? no clue.
-
@Dashrender It should, i believe you can create a windows software RAID with DISKPART

getting ready to click yes on crypto (I think) as soon as I get this user data copied to usb.
You are actually going to let them pay the ransom?
No, I wanted to see what the anti-virus solution did. User already opened the attachemnt, I most certain will be nuking from orbit.

And this is what Webroot did.

That was a crazy amount of activity for a good 15-20 minutes there. Amazing for so early in the morning.

I am not complaining at all. And I think most everyone is having a hard time getting motivated to actually work
I'm busy talking to my dad, here.

Yup. way better in XS than in HyperV, but both do it. It is unique to ESXi to lack that.

Found out yesterday that the whole building HVAC (including supplemental units) will be off for cleaning all day tomorrow... so I guess we are shutting it all down for a day. I'm glad the boss didn't suggest that I sit up here and guard the open server room door all day.

I need your bosses phone number...

Ugh... what a morning.... Meetings, got my Mac replaced... Now time to wipe it and install Windows Server again.
Edit: Why won't Mac BootCamp just download an ISO image with the drivers instead of insisting on writing it to a USB drive?
-
@dafyre Prob. because most macs dont have a CD Drive anymore.

True, true... but I can copy that iso image to another machine with a DVD drive or write it to USB drive... if I need to... My mac has been downloading Bootcamp drivers and writing them to the USB for an hour now... Just download it to an ISO file, a zip file, or a folder, something straight to the mac HD. I can then copy it off, and copy it back when I need it.
Now I have to copy all the files off of my one Jump drive, and turn around and convert that jump drive to Server 2012 installer, lol.
-
On a call and... my phone dies in the middle. Argh.

What is an MD array?
