    Lab build help

    Those... well those are cheap. I've been thinking about moving away from my all in one and put my storage in a seperate box but was worried about the speed between my SAN and my esxi server. 4gps would be fast enough and it's cheap enough.. Anyone have any experience with these things?

    Hyper-V vs VMware

    Child, Thinking of moving from napp-it as my primary storage to Server R2. Thinking of using 4 2TB hard drives as a 3+1 with tiered storage spaces with two columns, with two 120 gig ssd's as a tier then passing it back to esxi via iscsi. Mainly for home experimentation, but I have 5 family...

    Your home ESX server lab hardware specs?

    Wow, is this actually working reliably in esxi 5.5 now? Last I heard it was hit and miss. Is it now possible to pass through a mid range amd video card and get full sound/graphics via hdmi? I'd currently got my htpc sitting literally directly above my esxi server....

    Alternatives to Home Server

    What is meant by a "proper" SMB 3.0 share? I'm seriously considering going the Server 2012 R2 route. However, I'd want to use the Storage Spaces feature but have not heard overly positive things about the speed with that either. I'd also like to find a way to share my OneDrive as a...

    Alternatives to Home Server

    The permissions things piss me off. I run an ESXI all in one and use Napp-It. The shares permissions "sometimes" works and sometimes does not. Been toying with the idea of moving to Server 2012 R2 but I have a whole data share I'd have to copy over, and I'm not familiar with creating hyper-v...

    OpenSolaris derived ZFS NAS/ SAN (OmniOS, OpenIndiana, Solaris and napp-it)

    What is the best way to reset my permissions on shares? For some reason the sub folders in one of my shares only have read access, and the reset acl's don't seem to function the way they used to in previous versions of Napp It. In fact, NONE of the ACL stuff seems to work in the latest version.

    OneDrive - Syncing network share

    I'm trying to sync one of my network shares to OneDrive. I've created a symbolic link in my one drive folder to the network share - \\server\documents. When you first launch OneDrive, it will sync everything properly. After this initial sync, it stops syncing completey in either direction...

    Surface Pro 3 (5/20/14)

    What VMs are you running and why?

    How was the migration from ESXi? I'm thinking about doing the same. I'd like to use Server 2002 R2 Essentails overtop Hyper-V and go from there.

    OpenSolaris derived ZFS NAS/ SAN (OmniOS, OpenIndiana, Solaris and napp-it)

    It's definately the one VM bringing the system down (by system I mean OI and then my other VM's). I was getting a can't write to NVRAM error in VMWare so I tried deleting the file and then powering up the VM. The VM will power up (Win 7) and run for 1-5 minutes, and then it goes down and...

    OpenSolaris derived ZFS NAS/ SAN (OmniOS, OpenIndiana, Solaris and napp-it)

    Came home today to no shares. When I go to the napp it homepage and click on disks or pools there is nothing there. Shut everything down, restart as before. Same thing. ZFS will load, my SAB VM will load. I can connect to the VM briefly then the whole thing stops working again (clicking on...

    So I'm so done with OpenIndiana and Napp-it it's scary. Every 6 months or so, OI will stop working and force me to reinstall OI along with Napp-it, and then I have to recreate my virtual machines etc. Well guess what, the 6 month mark is up, and Openindian loads along with Napp-It, I can...

    Custom DNS based on app

    I'm in Canda right now, and to access Spotify and Netflix as well as blackout free games I'm changing my DNS servers to tunlr. That being said, if you use it too much as a general DNS they block you for a while. So I was thinking... why not have custom DNS rules at the router level based on...
