Headache today
Sorry to hear that,.. had noticed you seemed quiet today.
Yeah, in a dark room drinking coffee. Need to be functional by the Scale Legion event tonight.
Could go the other direction and hit it with alcohol.
Could go both ways at the same time, drink coffee with alcohol mixed in!

Just thinking on how the documentation here at Mangolassi.it is better than XenServer's official documentation, and heading to lunch.
There is Xen here at my new job. It looks simple. I havent spent much time in it and already feel comfortable.
What are they using to manage it?
XenCenter
Get XenOrchestra. Free and So much better.
They say this and dont like it, they want all the features. https://xen-orchestra.com/#!/pricing
That's XOA pricing, the appliance, we are talking about XO. All the features of the appliance, 100% free.
I didnt tell them to pull up the site. They did while I was standing there telling them it was free.
I believe they just finished a SAM audit and had to buy a crap load of stuff. They are now MSDN and Partner licensed.
Since I am new to Xen I am clueless on the difference. -

Since I am new to Xen I am clueless on the difference.It's not a Xen thing, it's just a standard open source thing. XO is software, it is licensed in such a way that they never need to look at the pricing. That's the miracle of open source licensing, it's standard industry knowledge and stops them from ever needing to do what they did. If they read the site carefully, they would notice a free download that is unrelated to what they looked at (yes it says for personal use but never says not for commercial use and the license is for commercial so they are obviously clear and the owner states this as well) and that what they were looking at what an appliance based on XO, not XO itself. So they weren't even looking at the pricing for what we were suggesting.

And even though it is free, they denied it? There is a download link and licensing that says that it is free.

Since I am new to Xen I am clueless on the difference.XO is open source.... no licensing involved. Support contract if you want to pay for it, but no licensing. Audit's don't come into play.

In anyone's defense, it DOES say personal, which is most other licenses means no business use.

I'm anxiously awaiting my Pixel XL Phone since I was "ordered" to turn off and return my Note 7.

Could there be any better reason to move to open source and protect yourself from an audit 100% then? They are being emotional and reacting backwards to the problem. Instead of learning from the audit and fixing things, they are having a fight or flight reaction and not learning from the audit at all.

It does, but it also has an open source license to ensure that there can be no confusion in the end.

Exactly...as mentioned in another post...I have an option of using a Moto G4 or an iPhone 7+ 256GB until the Pixel arrives...why am I so scared to try the iPhone, beyond not having a case for it...

Damngit ... forgot that if you sync just ONE directory in OneDrive it won't pull from the cloud. Stupid.

I am aware that it doesn't involve possible audits.
I was referring to the Microsoft SAM audit, not Xen Audit. They are just generally cautious right now. -

Started syncing 2.56TB of data across a 1Gb network. Thankful for a little program called rsync this afternoon, as I doubt this will finish in one go. Hopefully this time the backup box won't croak.

@scottalanmiller Careful, that's exactly that kind of talk that would destroy Open Source done by small companies. I have a lot of work to convince investors that's a possible business, same with consultant helping with business. If they read this, tomorrow every new stuff will become closed source
XO is the software, XOA is the product. That's not a miracle, you pay for a service to enjoy XOA (turnkey, updates, QA and support). When you are running a reasonably sized company, time is even more important than a relatively small monthly fee.
But yes, we'll add more services in XOA, to help people people to understand more the real value of it
