Well, after much banging my head on the wall, this doesn't work for stand-alone esxi at this point. It requires the vCenter appliance as standalone doesn't support the functions that the import tool uses to export the VM. I've reverted to just manually exporting the VM and using qemu-img on...

In case anyone is wondering, I've started to get it figured out through some kubevirt stuff. Here's what I had to do: 1. Log into the harvester node as 'harvester'. 2. sudo -i to get root access. 3. Create a vsphere-clustersetup.yaml file. I had to track down what the default Data Center name...

Unfortunately I can't get the FW for these anymore. Don't have a contract and got laid off from HPE a while back. I keep stuff archived so it it disappears just ask for it. I have to move things around on google drive to make space for other requests sometimes.

Yes, and I've got the addon installed, but the problem remains: Where are the CRD's to configure them?

Not a bad idea if most of my copying wasn't from a NUC to a Synology and then into Plex which is on the esxi box. I will eventually replace the Synology with something like OpenMediaVault on a 2nd virualized server. At that point I'll probably get that 25Gb working, I only have what I have...

I can't for the life of me parse what to do to make this work. I'm been an esxi admin for many years so that is very familiar to me, but I have not ever used Harvester or OpenShift style hypervisors (I have dabbled with ProxMox). Anyway, I'm trying to determine if I want to migrate to...

That's pretty good entry point! Former employer went out of business so I got a bunch of 10Gb networking stuff and servers for free. I love having 10GbE around the house. I have 25Gb cards and SFP28's now but no 25Gb switch. Been looking at Arista since that is the SFP's I have but haven't...

For what I do, I use the free version of Veeam and backup to LTO7 tape. For restore purposes, LTO will read at 750MB/s from source at 2.5:1 compression or 300MB/s uncompressed. It is not slow for that. If you are going for random access, then sure. Not sure if Veeam's community edition does...

Fell into a good deal on the hardware, couldn't say no.

SSD only for most stuff here, spinners in my cold backup system.

esxi server: Dell R740 with 2x 5217, 256GB RAM, 74TB SSD storage Nutanix CE server: Dell R740 with 2x 6136, 128GB RAM, 9TB PCIE storage Harvester server: HPE DL360 gen9 with 2x E5-2640, 256GB RAM, 72TB SSD storage Have the Nutanix and Harvester servers set up to test replacements for esxi...

I just picked up this one, I think it's pretty nice but it is a bit bigger than I was originally looking for. lian-li

Many of the vintage Technics AVR's have optical and pre-outs, but have not seen a stereo receiver with either. I use an old stereo Technics reciever to drive an unpowered sub off the "B" channel and the main speakers off "A" since both can be active. That doesn't help with your optical in...

I am running a DL360 with 24TB DAS and MSL2024 library attached to it. I use Robocopy to copy data to the DAS on a schedule and let Windows 2012R2 dedupe take care of the backups to disk. From there I use VEEAM to encrypt and backup to LTO7 in the MSL. It's a bit overkill and power...
