Which incidentally today is a day to drink. . . already been a morning.
No kidding. Spent most of this morning troubleshooting a dead VM, finding a working snapshot (had to go back to Christmas!) and then, the boss man tell me to set up Daily snapshots on any system that has BTRFS. (I agree with him on this one!)
You like killing off any IOPS you had designed the system for? Snapshots are good, but they are not backups, and every snapshot left on a system will cost you in IOPS.

You mean the indentured slave behind the counter to give you the coffees?

It's actually a decent job. My cousin is a barista for Starbucks and wont do anything else. She loves it. Shes in her 30s, been there since graduating from RIT.

@LilAng any time I'm feeling ill to my stomach like I'm gonna blow, I have a shot of whiskey.
Settles my stomach down. Not sure why, maybe because of the buzz is relaxing me/my brain.
It's a known digestif.

@JaredBusch you know EdgeOS pretty well for the Edge routers?

Decently well. I am comfortable enough to run alpha/beta testing when I have time.

Indeed it is. Id recommend Raki, Sambuca, Jager, etc. A normal digestive over whiskey though.

Maybe time for normal backups.
I'm trying to convince the powers that be.... However the licensing software would kill us on pricing. We could build a NAS solution to store our backups for less than $12k (a buddy of mine set up a ReadyNas or Synology with 144TB Raw storage).
Lots of free but still backup options.
Yeah. Just gotta convince the bosses to spring for the backup storage... They're not afraid to spend money on stuff when we need it and have the money available to us. Once they say go, I'll definitely be investigating the front runners like Veeam... but I'm afraid it will be too expensive for us with ~300 VMs and ~30 VMware Hosts.

Yepp. We're aware of that. Fortunately, for our setup, IOPS are not a problem (Nimble Storage all the things). We rarely notice a perceptible difference in performance for most of our stuff. For the heavy hitters, we clean out the snapshots and keep ~3 or so at most.

Decently well. I am comfortable enough to run alpha/beta testing when I have time.
awesome.
So with edge os can you set up the router to give out different IP's on different ports? -

Wow that was bland - My apologizes.
What I was meaning, Can you have different subnets on the same router on different ports?Yes, Via DHCP-

Yes, Via DHCP-
That is not how that works.

Okay awesome. Was trying to explain that to my boss but wanted to make sure what I was saying was correct.

I know. after I posted the reply I facepalmed and decided to leave it .

That's a ton of hosts.

You don't even need separate ports - you can use VLANs as well, all on a single port, each having it's own IP range. As JB said - it's a router, that's what it's supposed to do.

I understand that.
So where the question came from ( this is going to be fun) phones were down this morning. couldnt figure out why. Turns out, There are 2 networks in the building one for corporate and one for us. The Service manger tied the two together to give them access to the camera at the back door to let UPS, Fedex, Postal service in. which is on our subnet. causing phones to pickup the wrong subnet and not connect properly.
My thought was.. Why did he do that? gave us a bunch of problems today.
What could we do to make that work, And I was thinking what if we put it on a switch and then connect the two networks so it can be viewed. ( I don't think that'll work though)
