I just purchased a Dell M4800 for myself. I want to use my domain profile as it will replace my desktop at work. When I take it home, how can I effectively use my domain credentials/ remain on the network while traveling? I have a RV325 at my work location which is remote to the Hub office...

I bought a OL3000RTXL2U and an expansion battery to be a UPS for my switches, storage box, and four ESXi hosts after being told PowerPanel can be configured to work with ESXi as an appliance. I have installed their OVF template/ CentOS VM to run PowerPanel however it looks like one instance...

I just custom ordered a Dell M4800 with an E-Port docking station. Back in the day I recall Lattitudes having docking stations along with a raised platform or pedestal for the monitor. I have two 25" WIDE monitors (LG 25UM64: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824005626 )...

I am referencing my post here: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?p=1041496700&posted=1#post1041496700 So I can only share the LUN with one machine? There is very limited performance with NFS + NAS4FREE with ESXI. This is a bummer. Is this not the way enterprises set up (iSCSI...

I have a remote office that has a 40x40 fiber connection provided by Level3/ TW Telecom. My other three offices have a privately managed VPN while one office has another circuit, 20x20. All the offices there use that circuity for internet. Internet access is very limited for all the employees...

I have a SSD and a SAS pool setup on nas4free to give me a cheap storage solution for vsphere 5.5. I have ZFS volumes in both pools and configured as targets in the ISCSI setup. I have four hosts - when I connect the datastore to one, the other hosts will not mount it. They see the device...

I have a Sandisk Ultra 128 MicroSD card. I formatted it and used it with my GoPro Hero 3. I know it isn't supported. I have tested it in the past and it worked. I took the camera out for some track day footage at Road Atlanta and the camera recognizes all seven videos on there as it shows the...

nas4free: ~ # zpool status -v fastpool1 pool: fastpool1 state: ONLINE status: One or more devices has experienced an unrecoverable error. An attempt was made to correct the error. Applications are unaffected. action: Determine if the device needs to be replaced, and clear the...

This may be more of a networking/ storage questions but I want to see if I can get someone to give me some insight as it is related to VMWARE. NFS or iSCSI for an whitebox storage server based on freeBSD 9.3.0.2 (Nas4Free Build)? Has anyone plugged ethernet cables directly into the NICs on...

I have a Dell T610 I am making into a filer box. I plan to use NFS or iSCSI to connect to my esxi boxes. Right now I am undecided. I am concerned iSCSI won't be stable enough, I am equally concerned NFS won't provide the bandwidth I need. Network: 10.0.5.0/24 is my LAN. 10.0.10.0/24 Current GUI...

I have purchased 5 MX100 256GB Drives and 5 HGST 4TB (7.2KRPM) drives. I am going to throw these into a nas4Free box (I like the gui better then FreeNAS, and I didn't like the Nappit solution the one time I played with it). I am using the SSDs for a datastore (ESXi) over iSCSI or NFS...

My Asus P5Q PRO quit on me. I don't use my desktop at home very often anymore as I just remote into a VM on my server and I spend a lot of time at the office now. With that said there is no reason to drop 800 dollars on a new machine. I am looking for a board that will fit all of this stock...

Hello, I wanted to see if anyone has experience with Citrix or in the near future for me, RDS. We currently scan documents via thick and thin clients using Xerox Documate 152 scanners. They are small and cheap. But, they fail quite often. Does anyone have any suggestions on the...

Hello, I know this topic is sore and warn out but I have some questions I was hoping to get some direction on. I am using ESXi 5.1 - I have nested a Nas4Free machine and passed through two LSI HBA cards. I have the following drives Controller one: 7x 2TB WD RED Controller two: 3x1TB WD Black...

Hello, Currently I am using ESXi and have a nested NAS4Free install with two controllers ported through. I am using 4 plexor SSDs for datastorage for ESXi and this nested box for file storage. For whatever reason it is extremely slow using NFS, even ISCSI. I can use samba and get 50 mb/s...

I have a question pertaining to Nas4Free - I have some various sata drives on the box using a dell h200 and an LSI branded 9211-8i - I did not have to flash the h200, it just worked with the firmware on there after some boot config tweaking. The devices are showing up as da0-9 instead of...

I know this is yet another battle of the classes thread - but I haven't found answers to answer a specific question -- I want to have a 16 drive Nas4free set up (not necessarily all the same drives, i mention 16 drives because I have 5x2TB drives and 3x500gb drives in it right now and I am...

Does anyone have any experience with RDS on a chrome book - or is it possible with just RDS and the hardware itself? I looked around for an answer and saw Citrix released some sort of plugin. The other solutions I found were using HTML5 and in browser support, no seamless application publishing...

I am doing some research on deploying applications of a WAN via RDS or possibly Citrix XenApp. Some of what I will need to do will require thick clients unless I am able to pass through some hardware drivers for some devises and even then that will require a lot of bandwidth (Uploading digital...

I need some sort of SAN solution for potentially 20 VMs, most application servers, two SQL Servers, and a few DCs. Here is what I am unsure of: 500GB LUN for each data store? (App servers will be spread across multiple LUNs but should only need 80-160Gb virtual drives at most (user profiles)...

I currently have life time seats with Ahsay, and it is rebranded. I am looking for another solution that will do the exact same but also back up ESXi hosts/ datastores. Has anyone had any experience with Vembu or have any suggestions as far as other providers go? I want to host it on my...

I have four Plextor PX-256M3s. I want to use them as data storage for my ESXi box - it was the SSD or SAS option, and I got a decent deal on four of these - so compared to spending double the money for 300gb sas drives each, I opted for these for now. When I need more more I/O demand and...

http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1771183 ^^I posted yesterday in the Virtualized Computing forum about ESXi data storage... I probably only need an all in one solution, but I want to have both reliable storage as well as the ability to share my data-stores to other hosts in the future. (I...

I know this is a tired question, but I can never seem to find the appropriate answer. I want some sort of all in one solution (local storage? NAS/ nas4free with HBAs pass through for hard drives) But I also want to be able to add a host in the future if I needed to, so local storage may not...
