Trying to fix 2 PC's that windows updates broke...
What update was the issue?
Not sure yet, still not managed to get it working - got distracted and sideswiped...and now I cant find out external drive with the windows 7 iso on to do a repair...it's only affected 2 PC's that I've seen so far out of 100ish on that GPO...comes up with StartupRepairOffline and a BadDriver problem signature, hence why I need an external recovery iso to boot off...

Looking at replacing a aging ESXi host with a more powerful server.

Anyone have any dealing with that guy (Blair Groves) or know why he has a vendetta against Ubiquiti..?
-
Don't know him.

You'd better listen to him... he has an electrical engineering tech diploma!

This time round no. As it needs to connect to the SAN and run VM's off it
BUT!!!! As part of my 5yr plan is to overhaul the network by going to a LANless design as much as possible, and then look at XenServer/Hyper-V as alternatives to VMWare and licensing.

I don't understand, why would that be a factor? They all use the same storage equally.
-
@scottalanmiller Won't the SAN be formatted to VMWare file system? Or can Xen read that?
For now it needs to be like for like as the directors and the IT Manager won't expect change right now, but i'm working on them sence the 5year plan to change a lot (including maybe a Scale rollout)

Oh okay, no Xen can't read VMFS. It will use the SAN just fine for storage, but would need its own LUN.

A girl from the village just walked into our house and sat on the couch, lol. Life is so different here. Leave the gate and the back door open and it's an open invitation to come in and hang out. Awesome, though, that my daughter already has a local friend to play with!

This is just a "Band-Aid" solution for now. So it needs to be in and out swap.

If you have free space on the SAN, you can run both from the SAN. Just create a new LUN in the free space, connect XS to it and start building new VMs.

We don't SAN is full (another issue i'm addressing SLOWLY!)

My wife sent me this picture a few minutes ago. I could have sworn it was still standing before when I left.

Those Plow's they get rowdy this time of year, it's almost mating season so they are trying to find a secluded area to bed down for the Spring / Summer months.
