And my sentiment being that it was only people doing non-standard things and those following the instructions and keeping it simple (with the exception of needing to skip the SD piece) it's rock solid. Is anyone having issues with normal usage? I'm not aware of a stability concern. And also I pointed out that the things that cause the "instabilities" as they are seen will do the same things on Hyper-V... so the issue isn't about XenServer, it's about people pushing boundaries on test boxes to see what breaks and where.

I ain't touchin' nothing' no mores.

(Though I am going to keep testing my /var/log theories.)

Looking at fun future Coly-centric promotions.

Swag involved?

Swag is always fun.

Eh, I'm getting swagged out. I went to a CDW event last week, and didn't pick up one pen or drinking utensil.

I need five cars, how many do I have to buy. Um.. five.

The better question is.

I have 5 people who need a car to drive to the store, but they all don't have to drive at the same time.

Reality says buy 1 car. MS licensing says otherwise.

@wirestyle22 said in What You Need to Know About XenServer:

If I shared my SSD on my desktop how would I handle the permissions for mounting? I did attempt this but it failed. Granted I had to leave immediately after and didnt get the chance to troubleshoot it.

You could create a local account on your machine, give it access to the shared directory, and use that when you mount from XS.

That's what I did initially.

Redoing my filled up GrayLog server, yet again.

THIS time I set retention policies, though!

not Sure!

By "memory" ... do you mean free disk space?

Installing Unifi on Ubuntu serve 16.10 in a VirtualBox.

I did that today as well, but on DigitalOcean.

@DustinB3403 said in BRRABill's Field Report With XenServer:

Are metadata backups really required when you're performing backups using XO? You still have the option for guest level backups as well.

Well, if your boot disk goes belly up, you can restore them pretty simply with the VM metadata backup.

That's what I just did. A fresh install.

If you didn't have that, you'd have to manually map them, or restore them all from backup.

Unless I am missing your point?

This is my week to resurrect threads from the dead.

I am doing this as well this week.

Currently have 2 physical DCs running 2003. One of them is also our data server. (I know, I know, on all these fronts.)

Anywho...

I have installed a fresh 2003 Server, and am planning to promote that, and move all the roles to it. Then demote the other two DCs and P2V them.

So, hoping it really is "just that simple."

@BRRABill mmm damn I could go for a nice nitro stout right now

I was drinking the DogFish Beer For Breakfast Stout yesterday.

"A stout tricked out with all sorts of breakfast ingredients including Guatemalan Antigua cold press coffee, Maple syrup harvested from Western Massachusetts and for the quintessential Delaware breakfast touch - Rapa Scrapple and their secret blend of spices. "
