    Switch for home LAN - Netgear GS752TP?

    How is the fan noise on those POE switches? Does it vary with load? I'd expect some fan noise if you were running a bunch of POE+ devices but hopefully they are temperature/load driven and not just on full blast?

    Switch for home LAN - Netgear GS752TP?

    Thanks. There seem to be many more deals on ebay for Netgear than Zyzel, not sure why that is. a 48 port zyzel would cost 2x what this netgear would be (found a deal for $325). But if it's not reliable then it's not worth it. 46DB is the spec on that netgear at full load. No idea how loud...

    Switch for home LAN - Netgear GS752TP?

    Requirements: -More than 24 ports (probably need about 30 today) -POE on all ports would be nice (have 2 APs and 6 cameras today) -POE+ would be nice to have as well -smart switch if not fully L3 managed From what I can gather picking up a GS752TP on ebay would fit the bill nicely...

    ESXI & Blue Iris Security Software

    I run Blue Iris as well as about 10 other VMs on less hardware than you were spec'ing. Details here if you want. Currently running 5 cameras at 3MP & 20FPS each. NO issues.

    Testing interest: Building a high performance, secure, virtualized environment

    Since there seem to be a few blueiris junkies hanging out here I thought I'd post an update to this thread - while not specific to Vmware here is an article some folks might find interesting: http://www.petermcannell.com/using-ip-camera-based-pir-sensor-within-blueiris/

    Cooling for heavily used esxi server

    Thanks again - will report back with CPU usage & cooling data once new cooler is in place. (and yes this isn't going in a rack, in a desktop case for now)

    Cooling for heavily used esxi server

    Thanks guys - new cooler it is. Sorry for any confusion about the mhz and how esxi reports it. I'm not overclocking at all :)

    Cooling for heavily used esxi server

    Hey guys. On my system (many of you have commented on the build - thanks) I am heavily utilizing the system which I love. One workload in particular (windows 8.1U1) that runs Blue Iris for video surveillance is a heavy CPU load. It uses between 7000 and 9500mhz (out of ~13,000) and as such...

    ESXI 5.5 U1 Host non-responsive, some VMs still running

    Now that this system has been up for 8 days without incident I'm going to consider the issue solved due to a bad NIC. Time to toss it in the parts bin.

    ESXI 5.5 U1 Host non-responsive, some VMs still running

    Agreed. Since it's been days since I moved to other NICs I'm satisfied the problem was related to that one NIC.

    So without knowing exactly what i'm looking for - or which log might have the relevent data, I did find this error message throughout the vmkernel.log: 2014-04-19T08:12:07.099Z cpu5:35277)WARNING: LinNet: map_pkt_to_skb:2069: This message has repeated 93 times: vmnic3: dropping packet due to...
