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...

I bought the Denon X3600 but I got a heck of a deal on it. At the time Crutchfield had it for $200 off and I had another $300 in Best Buy credit so I got it for $599 shipped next day free. I really like it. ARC works perfectly with my Sony TV so I only have to use the TV remote to control the...

I would agree with pendragon1, go for a 550w or 600w PS at least. Gives you headroom .

Stay on the spinners. Even if you look to bond a couple of NIC ports together you still won't see much of an advantage with SSD's on it if any.

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1-fjvG4FufcZFVC_i-z7HVl46N-yw4VVO Firmware and tools there. If someone wants to send me the documentation mentioned in this thread I'll put it up there as well.

If the computer can see the drive you could use Library and Tape Tools to see if it can pull the codes. It can also do some diagnotic tests and flash the firmware.

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1-fjvG4FufcZFVC_i-z7HVl46N-yw4VVO Firmware is in that folder.

I'm working on getting my Brocade switches set up properly. Got plenty of DAC's and fiber cable to get it done, but I'm a n00b with networking beyond the basics so doing VLAN's and POE properly is taking a bit of time as I only have a little time each day to do anything with it. Fun stuff.

Yup, responded to your PM.

I have a Brocade ICX6610-24P and a VDX-6470 as well as a 4 port 10Gbe HP Procurve that has 48x 1Gb ports. I don't know that I'll use the 6740 since it's 40Gb and I don't have any use for that other than as a stack link to the 6610. The 6610 has 8 front 10Gb ports and 4 back 40Gb ports that can...

I can get it for you. Just need the type of drives (SAS vs FC) and the generation of the MSL. I have one with FC LTO7 drives in my home lab.

Not sure I'd take the G7. If you really want it you could get an MSA 12 drive shelf and hook it up via a PCIe SAS controller. I have a similar setup with a DL360 Gen9. It does take a lot of power though. I could kill-a-watt the setup and get an "idle" wattage for you since I don't have any...

The first episode was interesting, I watched it on Youtube. It didn't capture me enough to want to pay for CBS All Access on top of the other subscriptions I already have. I haven't seen enough of Discovery to render an opinion there. I'll either wait until it hits OTA or another service (or...

These newer drivers have been causing issues with my RX480 8GB card in games like Fallout 4. Lots of stuttering and lockups that don't happen in previous revisions before the Adrenaline drivers. I'll give these new ones a try and cross my fingers! I am keeping my eyes open for good deals on...

I worked for Cargill Steel for a while. There were a few times I wondered how those PC's even worked anymore when I had opened a couple up to see about RAM upgrades the case was full of steel dust up to the level of the CPU heatsink; sometimes all you could see of the motherboard was the...

Nasty.

I got the Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB kit for my build. The XMP settings didn't seem to ever do anything automatically like I thought it should so it always showed as 2133MHz. I decided to force it to profile 1 and now it shows as 2999MHz and seems to be running just fine like that. I haven't...

I got mine set to not be on now, but was annoying at first. You can set those things to be on even when sleeping/off. I hate that my monitor flashes a little blue LED when it goes to sleep, if it was steady on it would be less of a problem since it is small and really doesn't light up much...

I had a compatibility problem with a FusionIO IODrive2 1.2TB card. Couldn't boot with it in the 3rd 16xPCIe slot or the 2nd 16x PCIe slot in Gen3 mode. It only works with the PCIe mode set to Gen2 for the first 2 PCIe slots. Why I imagine it didn't work in the 3rd slot due to that card...

I have a question about power supplied to the PCIe bus for add-in cards. I know by spec it should provide 75w power to the PCIe slots, but have run across things where the MB manufacturer will share that 75w between slots. This effectively means I can't put in a card that requires 75w if more...

So, with this MB the power and reset buttons are lit all the time unless you go into the BIOS and tell it to turn off all LED's when off or in sleep mode. I think it was under the power settings. Those 2 little lights lit up my wall and were super annoying when trying to sleep. So far I do...

I was running PlayOn on an i3-3220 and had the problem with going forward or backward. Haven't checked that yet on the i5 since I just swapped it in last week and haven't needed to yet.

I wanted the safe too but it was sold out before I got to it. :(

I bought a few things. They had a good sale on MicroSD 128GB cards, got a Ryzen 7 and MB, and a few little odds and ends that I needed.

Looks good. I really like the sleeve job, I may check into doing that myself even if the last time I tried (many years ago) looked terrible.
