Installing SnipeIT and Fog onto new VM's running on a new VLAN

Should mention this is on a Dell R510 server (I thought it was a R710 but remembered I used that in my ESXi farm)

Going to try it again and play with BIOS settings.
(Did try Hyper-V which did work from USB but couldn't find NIC )

No this was after we had moved the cab and started but it was that messy (the patch panel was in place before hand lol) can't find the "before" shot.

I think the other issue is convincing others of the benefits of hypervisors like XenServer or Hyper-V. I want to use Hyper-V or Xen for 2 new hosts that will have Citrix XenApp running but convincing management to move from ESXi is a struggle but I think this also comes from our MSP that likes ESXi and pushes that even in the FREE version.

That bit comes down to getting management to recognize their buyer's agents from their seller's agents. Once they realize that their MSP is really a VAR and is trying to make a quick buck selling them something, it should change their perspective quickly.

Not that VMware is always bad and anyone pushing it is trying to make a quick buck; only that an MSP making money by selling VMware isn't a trustworthy decision maker in this scenario.

100% Agree - At the moment we are "reviewing" our ESXi farm that currently has a SAN, and we have outgrown it. Every time we talk the instant reaction is NEW SAN with some SSD's for SQL etc etc. I'm thinking no lets look at Hypercoverage or IaaS now

But yeah since I've started here and started to question things the IT manager has been a bit more on my side with thinking

Installing lots of Linux servers on my new VLAN and trying to get Cockpit running on Ubuntu 14.04

So this is what I've found out so far in summary:-

Unitrends Free only supports - VMware and Hyper-V
Unitrends UEB deployed to ESXi server supports - VMware and Hyper-V
Unitrends UEB deployed to XenServer supports - XenServer and Hyper-V

Might see what Hyper-V UEB supports monday

About to have a blast on Xcom2 for 30mins during lunch

that's actually a known problem.

Reboot and try again - I've read you have to reboot up to two times after doing a sysprep depending on what options you picked in Sysprep.

OK will try that too.
*Edit - But I did have it working after the initial sysprep

Doesn't the sudo command make it run as root? but i'm also running it as the user I first set-up as I thought Ubuntu doesn't have root you use sudo?

Yes, but only the immediate process. Try running as root instead. Sudo is how you get to root.

sudo -i su

OK that worked maybe worth mentioning it in first post

Basically, clueless people should not be allowed to IT

i'll get my coat bye.....

Give us 3-4 months and i'll put you in contact with our MSP as they will be trying to sell us some hardware and SAN with a refresh, even after i've suggested better like Scale

Might be suggesting a 3rd party review of the solution so look out for an E-mail NTG

4 minutes till home time

Thanks for all the input on this peeps.
A few years ago if I was doing this refresh and a rep/sales man/someone said to me for HA you need 3 hosts + SAN I would of just signed the order.

But now thanks to Spiceworks and Mangolassi communities I can call BS! and offer a different way of thinking

Doing the same as most mornings..............trying to remember what the hell I was going to do today (really need to setup a to do/project list but keep forgetting to add it to a "to Do" list )

Might look at "Sites" on Office 365 or something on there. (If I remember )

Not sure how or what ....... but just loaded up the XenCenter on laptop at home and my SnipeV3 VM is there ??? not sure which backup worked but i'm back.

OK missing about 20 days worth of assets but at least most are there.

Job for tomorrow sort my backup and get latest version of Xen Orchestra install. Also make a Backup review and test plan.

Just done two missions on Xcom2

How is it compared to XCom?

So far the main missions are just the same controls and view. But the base building is a little different and is taking a bit of getting used to. But it's a game i'll be playing until completed

*Edit - of course new story line and new "aliens" to kill

I can't seem to add a SMB share as a remote on XenOrchestra
XO-Server 5.3.3
XO-Web 5.3.2

The NAS I'm attaching is not part of the domain and has a local username and password assigned to the shared folder.

I'm thinking it's the Domain part that's causing the issue but it won't let me leave it blank.
