Weekend work...
Big R730xd Hyper-V server upgrade from 2012 R2 datacenter to 2016 datacenter. About 60 VMs
Most can be shut down, but some need to be failed over to other hosts.
Waiting on the SSD read/write cache to drain.
Are you upgraded the underlying hypervisor? Or upgrading all 60 VMs?
-
Doing some AetherStore testing on the Scale HC3 cluster again. Moving workloads around to control what storage they are on and which nodes they are on for a different kind of test.

Box of old magazines that my dad found that is being thrown out. I hate not being able to keep this stuff but, no real value to it.

Polyhedron and RPGA papers.
I finally broke down and got rid of my crates of Dragon magazines when I moved to Chicago. They had been in my basement untouched for 10 years.

Same here. Loads of Dragon and Dungeon magazines. I used to love getting to read those.

Just the hypervisor. Still a lot of work, not yet finished. Hit a few setbacks, but nothing major. Probably only a total of an hour more worth of work to go.

Figuring out why the Backup Exec isn't talking to VCenter.
Because it isn't Veeam?
Because it's Backup Exec and not "talk-to-vCenter Exec"?
And certainly not RestoreExec.
Turns out the new guy changed some pathing inside of vmware that left BExec bereft of data to backup since they weren't where they were expected. The error message from BE was less than helpful.

Damn new guys.

Hanging out with the wife.

Power outage this morning in our data center. The electrical contractor did a thing that tripped a circuit breaker, and we're still recovering. ZFS (freenas) is the only problem right now.

As is expected. Those are always the ones causing issues. What problem are they having at the moment?
-
I have no idea. I'm not working that problem.
-
Another box of books that I don't get to keep. But these are going to @rich9403 so at least they don't have to be thrown out.
-
Bed time here.
-
Trying to think what I was going to do today (apart from maybe replace the switch under my desk with a Ubiquiti EdgeSwitch)
-
Just got to the office and got some coffee. Nice spring morning today.

Why not take them to an antique shop or something. They may not be worth much now... But in another 20 years, they might be worth 25 cents each or something, lol.

Enjoying my second coffee of the day. Yum.
