We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.

    Storage Server Recommendation - Home Lab

    No, you won't. It is called IPMI and supported by many consumer grade server boards (e.g. Supermicro, TYAN). Not as glorious as iLO, but does everything that an average user needs (i.e. remote console and virtual media).

    Building a work SAN, need reccomendations

    Thanks Gea, I do appreciate your point of view. Actually, winuser=unix mapping option is what we looked into first, and the showstopper (at least for our environment) was inability to use UIDs higher than 64k. And yes, we store them under Unix Attributes in AD, so I'd have to match them...

    Building a work SAN, need reccomendations

    Besides, if you have Unix/Linux systems using LDAP service from AD and you want proper uid/gid mappings for NFS service, the integration process is not straight forward to say the least. I was not able to get the idmap to work even with Nexenta's folks help, so we eventually gave up the idea of...

    dedicated iSCSI within VM's

    Some enterprise backup solutions use snapshots for LAN-free backups (with help of vStorage API). For example, Symantec NetBackup does it. So saying snapshots are not good for backups is incorrect. :)

    Fibre FC Attached Datastores for esxi

    Does not have to be Solaris. Pretty much anything that can do FC SCSI target will work. I've been using Quadstor. Works fine on Linux/FreeBSD with aforementioned HBAs.

    ESXi 5.1 panics on a pass-through SATA

    I just use that controller on a VM to test some storage solutions (eg. Quadstor). Not really critical, since it is Lab environent at home. Just needed to confirm that it is a known issue.

    ESXi 5.1 panics on a pass-through SATA

    Hi everybody, A perfectly working Intel Cougar Point 6 port SATA controller (Supermicro x9scm) causes purple screen of death after upgrade to 5.1. Is anybody else experiencing this problem?

    Question about resource usage

    You must be a very young person... If the company I work for did not provide a Lab environment I'd simply look for a better place. I personally don't use my home lab fot any work related activities. To me it is just against conventional logic. Don't get too passionate about your employer...

    Any reasons to abandon the free VMware Server?

    Why not use KVM? It should fit you requirements. Granted you are familiar with Linux. It has CLI as well as UI.

    DIY - SSD SAN or DAS for vSphere - Possible?

    Won't be that expensive if you use FC target. This way you still can use a generic whitebox to host your drivers. So it will be just cost of HBAs. Single port 4GB ones go for around $100 on ebay. And a used 8-port Brocade is about the same price.

    OpenZFS NAS (BSD, Illumos, Linux, OSX, Solaris, Windows + Storage Spaces) with napp-it web-gui

    Thanks Latent! Since there is no option for that in the GUI I downloaded .vmx file, edited it and uploaded it back. I no longer see the device in iostat output. Thanks again! ide1:0.present = "true" (changed to false).
