@scottalanmiller His other project was putting an IoT coffee pot on their critical infrastructure (his words) network. I doubt this is a very savvy IT department.

Damn!

And, of course, this means that he never read Spiceworks or MangoLassi AND never posted his idea because all of these mistakes would have been pointed out before he screwed the company that he worked for. How arrogant to post something so ridiculous as a project to be proud of in a community where that very design is constantly pointed out as being absolutely horrible day after day. He thinks posting to SW for praise is a good idea but isn't willing to post for advice or vetting of ideas? Ridiculous.

Yeah, but it's a non profit company, so who really gives a damn?

Hey, they got the best team that no money could buy! Now, can you put this coffee pot on our network pro bono?

Good morning folks.

Time for coffee.

PS I wish I were off today, the town assessor is coming over to tell us what he's willing to pay us for our land....

Eminent domain? What's going on?

Some local corrupt church pulling some politician's strings to seize land that they have no right to.

Pretty much...

@scottalanmiller I should post the 2-node setup I just configured with 15TB of storage. I bet my 16k price was half of that purchase price and will out perform that setup.

Could you post some details in a dedicated thread? I'm looking for something very similar (2 nodes, mirrored storage like StarWind Virtual San etc).

For two nodes you use DRBD, which is baked into XenServer!

Would love to use XS - but it's Hyper-V for this one

One would hope, the people making the donations. But we all know better.

Oh okay. Then Starwind for the win, for sure. It's the only native solution that I know of for Hyper-V.

Just hard stopped a VM with software from a project partner. Written in Java, all kinds of fancy frameworks involved and to what result? 100% CPU load, 100% RAM usage, so really bad system load, swapping to dead, loads of processes spawning, unresponsive shell, ...

Said that before, I am myself way more a developer than an admin... and I hate that: People are using all sorts of frameworks and APIs without thinking about consequences or side effects. I'm sure they will have a very hard time to debug that. But at least it's fancy and written in Java...
