Choosing it because you "like it" is and does fall into that realm.
No, that is not how that works.

I thought technical debt was choosing the easier option over the best option
-
@wirestyle22 That's how I understand it.
-
Sure it is, you're choosing what you know, even if that product doesn't give you the best benefits. It may or it may not.
While there is value in using what you know, it shouldn't be the sole deciding factor in a decision.

I will admit ESXi is there as that's what the manager knows and is comfy with. Also should of said this is for a "lab" host so will only have temp/test VM's on.
The other host will have 1 windows server doing Radius and other Linux production VM's like Zabbix/Unifi/ScreenConnect. This one i'll choose more wisely lol
One side says stick with XenServer and XenOrch for management and backups, other side of me says "go on....give HyperV a try" -
ML just went down with a Error 523, anyone else see it?

And again Error 523

Reddit is down, so there might be larger issues.

Didn't see it here and I was posting at that time.

Or even a major one. It should just be a normal part of the financial calculation.

@DustinB3403 No issues here, that's essentially a destination unreachable error code right?

Yeah it resolves to Website Down Error 523.
And some temp website.

Sorting my desk out and the cabling around it.
Then moving some VM's onto a RDX tape for backup, before destroying two hosts and resetting them up. Not sure if i'm going to use Hyper-V/ESXi Free/XenServer yet on themOutside of a lab or insanely special cases ESXi Free should never be used. It's the only one that should be avoided. There are three excellent choices in the free "didn't pay for support" space. ESXi is the only player that is bad here. ESXi only becomes rational once you are paying for support.

No I just like ESXi
You should hate it for crippling you.

No, not at all. That's bad, but not technical debt.

Not sure if i'm going to use Hyper-V/ESXi Free/XenServer yet on themI'm assuming this is for a lab? If so, why not try all of them? Expose yourself to all of them. Setting up the environments, setting up datastores and connecting them with iSCSI or your connection of preference, setting up servers, backing servers up, etc. What errors will the environment throw if a datastore is down? How do you properly restore the datastore to the environment?

Looking at what ports are listening on our servers to see how I need to configure the built-in Windows firewall.

Yesterday i went home with my opensuse server at 12.1, all applications working except for search function in mediawiki application. Today i come in and, search is working? Thanks to whoever did that because that problem was pissing me off.
