      Huge thread, suddenly takes a turn....

      https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/1962741-the-inverted-piramid-of-doom-again-vs-a-sloooow-failover-server

      [Edit... his wording on the last post was wrong, he did the RIGHT thing and all is going well.]

        This guy moved from "this looks bad" to "if I was his boss I'd reconsider his employment." He's clearly got an agenda and even suggesting that he consider something else gets him quite defensive. I wonder what he's playing at. We warned him thoroughly about why every single thing he was doing was reckless and his responses were super clear that he didn't read anything we wrote and stated gibberish in response to every point. Either he's incredibly slow or he's being intentionally belligerent to cover for something. Why he's bothering to ask for advice when he obviously has no interest in it, though, is beyond me. Every single respondent had the same opinion of what he was doing being stupid. Not like there was any debate, at all.

        https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/1962353-storage-spaces-and-iscsis

        My only "defense" is that when you start out interacting with you, and some others, it does feel like people are being a bit aggressive and ... whatever.

        It's not the case. I'm just saying it's probably a common first reaction.

        Yeah, but he's supposed to be an IT guy. He should be looking for vetting of his ideas every day. Who cares that I sound aggressive? I didn't call him stupid, I pointed out how to fix his mistakes so that he could not get fired.

        From reading that thread, I'm pretty sure that guy is in marketing, or just very susceptible to it. All he really does is shield his ignorance with sales/marketing bullet points. The word "shill" comes to mind...

          All of our notions need to be constantly challenged. This has be the most useful thing for me coming here. You yourself actually said something I've adopted which was "I argue to learn". It's absolutely true.

            Huge thread, the OP knew up front why it was a bad idea, and after loads and loads of good info.... he never gives any reason and goes with the IPOD anyway. In his lasts posts he even states that it more expensive and doesn't get good support options while wording it to make it sound like it wasn't a rip off.

              I argue to annoy people.

              It's awesome.

                It worked out, it was all a mistake. He actually did everything exactly right.

                    Is mixing LSI and software Raid a bad idea?

                    No... it's the best of both worlds, fake raid and hardware raid.... no problems there.... (sarcasm....)

                      He didn't want FakeRAID. It was Windows Software RAID 0.

                        Right, he wants Windows Software RAID 0 on top of the fakeRAID the server comes with. 😛

                          I thought that it was hardware LSI and that was bad enough. It's actually FakeRAID?

                            According to the way that I read the description on supermicro yes.

                                Um.... He's plugging a phone up with a POE injector... into a POE switch... ? /facedesk

                                  No he is trying random PoE injectors. Specifically trying a UBNT PoE injector which as we all know is a 24V passive PoE instead of 802.3af PoE.

                                    And he's daisy chaining the power from the switch to the POE injector.

                                    So yeah I agree with @JaredBusch here. The guy needs to get slapped hard.

                                        No he isn't. Where did that come from.

                                        Even if he did plug the LAN side of a PoE injector into a PoE switch, that would not normally hurt anything because The switch is (usually) smart and only provides power as needed.
