Woohoo!!! I got my TSA pre check approved!!! No more shoe removal for me at the airport.
Now it's on to the full body cavity searches. .
Just ignore the husky nurse in the corner that wears the white rubber gloves.

Got my PureCon (its actually called Pure Accelerate, but I'm calling it PureCon) ticket, just booked plane tickets and the hotel. This thing is actually happening.

Not to be confused with PurCon, the convention for old lonely spinsters.

I thought that one was about a water filter.

I'm drawing up some generic quotes for server systems, still considering options and choices.
Support etc.

PurCon
Reading through the "What Can I Bring?" page on the TSA website and some of this stuff is like "Somebody must have attempted it at least once before to be put on this list."
Some of the things that I have already found are:
- Gravy (yes, the liquid that you put on food such as mashed potatoes or chicken fried steak)
- Fidget Spinners (already has made the list)
- Duct Tape (well that must have been an interesting trip)
- Dynamite (really? Who are you, Yosemite Sam?)

Literal excerpt:
Light Saber
Sadly, the technology doesn't currently exist to create a real light saber. However, you can pack a toy light saber in your carry-on or checked bag. May the force be with you. -

I'm continuously amazed how on SW you can go a month without a specific question then two the same one just minutes apart. It's like nearly all discussions come in waves, but from disconnected people. I don't understand the effect.
Example is today there are two topics that popped up within ten minutes of each other... both are looking at if connecting iSCSI directly to a VM to bypass the datastore is a wise idea. I've not seen that come up in weeks or months, but two in a few minutes. Chances are, another will happen later today.

From what I've learned, it seems like the way to utilize iSCSI storage for a VM is to connect the iSCSI storage to the hypervisor and put a VHD on it for the VM to use, rather than trying to connecting iSCSI directly to a VM.
I am using iSCSI storage for the VHD that's the "data" drive for a VM that's a file server (among other things). For a couple of days, my iSCSI storage will be used for all of my VHDs while the new local RAID 10 initializes. Then my iSCSI storage will be for backups.

Exactly, otherwise you break snaps and take visibility out of the hands of the hypervisor.

Updated the deployment image at one client.
Now setting up a Fedora 26 VM to try this Nginx-Extras on.

Where days = minutes, I hope. What kind of initialization is that?

Alpha still, but barely.

However long it'll take the PERC710 controller on my Dell T620 to get the new array ready. I hope it's minutes.

I didn't realize that 26 was so close to production release.

It's only a six month cycle. The next one is never very far away.
