    • RE: Transfer Large File To Host = GOOD Transfer Large File To VM File Server On Same Host = BAD

      @momurda said in Transfer Large File To Host = GOOD Transfer Large File To VM File Server On Same Host = BAD:

      I have limited experience with Hyper-v
      Where is the storage? Local? iscsi?
      Is the host and guest on the same network? Is the router getting overwhelmed? Does the router even get traffic when this happens?
      what does the switch say? You should be able to log in and check its realtime log.

      You just beat me to it. Correct, everything is local storage.

      I should also mention there are no iSCSI issues here (not enabled).

      Also generally speaking you don't want to enable jumbo frames without reason as it can lead to weird issues. Do you know what reasoning there was / is to have this change in place?

      I've made the recommendation to try turning off jumbo frames when I first took the client on and they did a few tests with no changes in performance so rather than change every PC and server and switch, they decided to keep it on (they had only tested turning it off to see if there was a difference).

      Is the same thing occurring if you attempt to pull a file from the VM to your system?

      Yes, same issue exists whether transferring to or from the file server VM.

    • Transfer Large File To Host = GOOD Transfer Large File To VM File Server On Same Host = BAD

      As the title suggests, I'm at a client's where for some reason, transferring large files to their file server has slowed to a crawl. What typically happens is the transfer begins as normal with throughput around 350MBps to 400MBps (yes, their host is connected to Ubiquiti ES switch 10Gb port and primary video dev workstation is connected to second 10Gb port) but then after 1 or 2 seconds, the transfer speed drops to 0 for a couple minutes and when transfer resumes, it hovers between 500Kbps to 2MBps. The real kicker is that, when their IT guy transfers the same file from the workstation to the Hyper-V host instead of the file server VM, transfer just speeds along at 500MBps to 600MBps.

      Host is running Windows Server 2012 R2 with Hyper-V role (their resident IT guy isn't comfortable without the GUI). The host and file server VM are both fully patched. Jumbo frames is enabled throughout including switch. The VM is running Windows Server 2012 R2 and its sole purpose is as a file server. Workstation is running Windows 10 Pro (fully updated). The file server VM has a 40TB data disk with >7TB of available space. The host has >15TB available space.

      As a second test, tried to transfer file from the Hyper-V host that is hosting the file server VM to the file server VM and the transfer is the same garbage performance as from workstation to file server V.

      When I run ping -t tests from the workstation to the host, replies are consistently <1ms or 1ms and 0% loss. Same ping -t tests to the file server VM result in <1ms to as high as 11ms with 0% loss.

      It seems to me that the issue is with the VM itself but can't find anything wrong. Any suggestions as to where else I can look?

      @triple9 It's not as pretty as 5Nine but seems to perform the same functions as the free version of 5Nine provided. A little slower but it works.

      are those squat style? how do you keep your pants clean?

      I literally have no idea. There are never hooks to hang up your pants, either. I've really checked. I truly cannot figure out how to use them.

      You have to be bendy, or use the handicapped stall, I'd probably have to at this point, yeah, bad joints. I've never experienced one myself, but wouldn't you're pants hide the things from view and be out of the way?

      There are never stalls when you find these. They are normally in the middle of a giant room, nothing to grab onto anywhere.

      Well, that doesn't make sense then.

      I know, right? I've spent some time trying to figure this out.

      Looks like this is the SFW how-to.

      @brandon220 said in Nextcloud Questions:

      I thought about making a new VM using Fedora 25 as the one @scottalanmiller provided the group works so well. I'm just afraid I won't be able to successfully migrate the data.

      It's all just a database and filesystem. I've not done this, but should not be bad.

      Would this still be possible if you've chosen to enable encryption? I would assume that your encryption key would be different in a new install. I don't remember reading anywhere about how to migrate data from one install to another if it was encrypted (although maybe I've never read it because it doesn't matter). Has anyone done this? Moved users and data to a new install with encryption turned on?

      Tbh, I couldn't tell you for sure since I've never used the CloudKey. All I know is I'm getting annoyed with having to worry about the controller starting up after every upgrade.

    • RE: Ubiquiti Unifi Key needed?

      Yeah no key needed and no license. I'm running mine locally on a Ubuntu VM but I'm finding that after updates and reboot, the damn mongo db tends to corrupt so I have to run the db clean up to get it fixed. A pain in the ass that I'm told can be completely avoided if you use the CloudKey instead.

      Are you looking for something that would resemble a typical production deployment (ie: with all the security features and add-ons enabled like Wordfence) or do you want something that is left open and purposefully vulnerable for your testing purposes?

      Looks like they are working on fixing their SSL issues. But damn! Didn't 5Nine used to cost around $400 for single host? Now the least expensive option is their 1-yr license on 5Nine Datacenter for $749.

      So I noticed. and the website is broken with SSL on, too.

      Was just on their site a few minutes ago. It is seriously messed up. No SSL on any page, even on the login page.
