@Obsolesce so yes, Jupiter is at a 85% angle all of the time... right?

@Obsolesce Is Jupiter always at a 85% angle?

Thats crazy, I would love to be able to see that myself but lord knows I wouldn't have the patience to source a telescope/camera and to figure out where another planet is...

Good job man!

@scottalanmiller They aren't down here in the states as far as I can tell.

@gjacobse not off hand, but can you not make a new one of those with a 3d printer or just purchase a new printer... surely that zebra isn't more than the part alone...

Just got registered, and browsing around to get the lay of the land around here.

Welcome

@Oksana that's awesome, to ask how would one use StarWind VSAN on XCP-ng if wanting to avoid the VSAN functionality that can get purchased from the Vates team?

@pattonb said in Proxmox: UPS:

Why not use apcusd (http://www.apcupsd.org/)

you can calibrate the ups and monitor and much more. I have it running on a few proxmox pve servers. There is a Debian wiki as well. (https://wiki.debian.org/apcupsd)

you just need the usb cable that connects to the ups.

In a scenario like Proxmox, sure use it all day long as you have community support only (generally speaking) it likely works just fine. When something doesn't work though and you need a dedicated support channel does this potentially pose an issue, if its not included and used as the default product.

@dbeato yeah that is a different utility (hyper-backup specifically).

Cloud Sync doesn't actually seem to produce the report anywhere that I could find either.

Grr

Thanks for looking @dbeato

I use Emby, simple to setup and maintain.

@dbeato said in Proxmox: UPS:

@travisdh1 ScaleCluster has this issue as well, you have to use a script on a separate computer so it shutdown the servers. So in essence is not native.

Yeah, this isn't abnormal either, I think VMWare/Hyper-V are the only products that has native support for this.

@dbeato let me know what you find!

@Oksana Does KVM have a chance? It's the only game in town. VMware is such a backwater of out of date, out of touch, "why would anyone use this" tech. If you use KVM, then you use VMware, it's like going from living in a beach front mansion to a caveman's cave where they are still pooping in a dark corner in the back.

VMware has been dead tech for years. It's so antiquated like they think it is the 2005 era.

XCP-ng is picking up a ton of customers as well, since there is a support model behind it.

Yeah, two great (and free) solutions on the market, and VMware that is costly and requires so much overhead to manage and maintain. It's such a disaster.

Broadcom just cancelled the free version of ESXi as well, so any small customer shops are just going to migrate, they have too.

I was actually considering rolling this out with where I'm at we use a different IdP, which has this same sort of functionality built in, but I'm not a fan of it..

MC continues to be the best thing I've ever used. And our deployment of it is so massive. Thousands of devices, hundreds or maybe a thousand users now. We use it so heavily and it's just a tank.

I'm assuming you mean the RMM functionality is just bullet proof, I wouldn't be able to get rid of our IdP (nor does MeshCentral act as one).

Moving from that port which was only giving 10FDx to an unused port, gave us 1000FDx.

I'm not sure where this issue stems from..

Got it sorted out, for some reason (and I'm still working on the specifics) our ESXi hosts secondary NIC keeps falling to 10FDx (likely some misconfiguration at setup).

I've moved XO off of this nic, and performance has been fixed.

If you want to improve ESXi performance, install KVM.

Yea, that's a different conversation entirely, I do want a outside of the XCP-ng pool environment, in case something goes sideways. I'm dealing with some sunkcost conversations about it, though I am making progress.

@jt1001001 I'm in office today, and moved the port from 34 to 33 and am now getting 1000FDx on the port and within ESXi.

So it's very odd.

The Dropped Tx percentage is 0.6 of all packets dropped...
