Trying to stay focused on my tasks -- too excited about home lab possibilities.

I feel the same way right now.

Getting ready to go home, feel like today has been very unproductive. Hopefully get more done tomorrow

Mobo replacement time (finally, thanks a bunch, Dell "next business day" warranty...).

Spending all evening making a new template and deploying basic assets in my lab. Not nearly so productive as I hopped.
That's the nice thing about libvirt. If you forget something just run virt-customize later and install something or edit something with virt-edit (or guestfish).
It's XenServer, and I hadn't even setup a base CentOS image for it yet. Got the template made tho, so every "new" machine will only take a minute (or less) to deploy. It's always the specific service being setup that takes all the time.
Ah I was thinking you had a KVM machine.
Why so long to clone the template? Mine takes around 2 seconds to clone.

I hadn't ever built a template on it before. Just got started with the thing, so I'm building everything on it from a greenfield. Doesn't help that I forgot about setting up a template before I just wadded into the first server.

No the OP.

I'm watching nature, Yosemite. And chilling.

@scottalanmiller oh okay, I mean Hyperv on USB/SD Card is just not the best ever. If we were talking about VMware or Xenserver we might be on another talke

Even MS recommended it for a while. But MS could never get on a single page about it.

Microsoft is no longer providing a USB install guide for HyperV 2016. I did get it working with 2012 for a while but the lab server died a horrible death so waiting for a new server to hit the junk pile
-
@scottalanmiller yeah Microsoft Server running on a USB or SD card is not for the faint of heart LOL!

Well Hyper-V is not Windows. It's supposed to be FAR more lean and is designed to run this way, they officially shipped it that way for Dell and HPE.
-
@scottalanmiller yes, still you need a 16 GB or bigger USB drive which is fine.

I have never saw this proven. I have heard it said a lot. I have never been given proof.
Officially, there was never a supported path for Hyper-V server 2012 / 2012 R2 on USB or flash. The only thing people point to is a unsupported methods on technet.
I would love it if this is changed for 2016.

That is the article everyone points to. But it is not supported except for OEM and I have never saw this offered by OEM.

Wasted the whole day waiting at the passport "drop-in" office for my newborn son. Never again... NEVER again.
What made it worse is that after already waiting half the day in what resembles a doctors waiting room, when we were called up, i didnt have my drivers license... I left it at home in the photo copier!
What a nightmare day!
If only appointments weren't booked so far out...
