      @jim9500 said in New IT update 60TB / 60 mil files / 20 people - HP Equipment:

      Hey guys, thought I'd get your input. Our org has grown and I'm needing to double our internal production server capacity. We are currently running an HP DL360 G8 / Windows Server 2012 Standard / P822 / 3 D2600 + 36 HP 3TB SAS drives (MB3000FBUCN) configured in raid 10ADM (3 drives per set).

      I'm getting horrible benchmarks on the random read MB/s access with CrystalDiskMark RND4K Q1T1 (3.73 vs 2780 sequential). This server stores about 30 million files ranging from 50kb - 10MB and the full storage capacity rotates probably 2 - 3 times a year as we process these jobs then move them to cold storage.

      Forget 2.5" HDDs. SSDs has killed that market with huge performance improvements for the same or lower price. And much higher reliability.

      Where magnetic media reigns supreme is large storage arrays using 10+TB 3.5" HDDs. Best price per TB for this technology.

      SSDs have moved on to the NVMe interface for performance reasons but there are still legacy applications for SAS and SATA SSDs.

      Don't know how much storage you need at what speed, but you'd get the best out of both worlds with a mix of 3.5" HDDs and SSDs (preferable NVMe).

      If you're using an external SAS enclosure, put the SSDs in the server and the HDDs in the enclosure. That way you'll minimize the performance drop. SSDs will otherwise saturate the SAS links.

      If you want to go all SSDs, you might want to go for SATA if you want lots of them and want to put them on a raid card. Current pricing is about $170 per TB for Samsung's value enterprise SATA and also their NVMe drives. There are few SAS SSDs available and they cost more. If you buy from HP (or Dell) expect to pay 2 to 3 times as much.

      As a comparison 3.5" enterprise HDDs are below $30 per TB.

      As for drive sizes, SSDs will usually get cheaper per TB as you go bigger up to about 8TB or so. Fewer drives are better than more drives so go as big as you need.

      For 3.5" drives the point of diminishing return is 16TB. There are larger drives but they are not as cost effective and can be hard to find.

      @jaredbusch said in Once off or short term remote access solution:

      Client purchased software through a VAR specifically so the VAR can configure and set things up.

      VAR does not have their own "remote support" tool.

      I need to install something to let the VAR in to a specific computer to configure the new software.

      Any recommendations?

      I'm surprised the VAR doesn't use something like Zoho Assist. There's a free version that works well for one-off sessions. I used it this evening.

      It's because they've never heard of Zoho. It's the best kept secret in IT.

      One of my users was using Chrome when suddenly the cursor changed from the normal arrow to this.
      arrow change.png

      Any thoughts on what they might have pressed? or what happened to cause this?

      I've seen Clicking the center wheel of the mouse will cause this to happen.

      OK, good call - I wonder why it didn't go away. perhaps clicking the center button again would have?

      That's always worked for me..

      Or left or right click typically changes it back to normal Cursor.

      I remote controlled the mouse and it made no difference with me clicking around... no idea if it would have had I visited the station.

      IMO: Sangoma can still achieve a nice recovery if they get their hands real dirty and don't rest until they clean up or rewrite huge chunks of FreePBX.
      I don't know the current development team, but Matt Fredrickson, Lorne Gaetz, Mike White and others involved in the project who I know, are truly amazing people and want to make FreePBX better. If they leave Sangoma, we can officially say RIP FreePBX.

      @laksh1999 said in Send CSV file to Slack Channel by bash script through Webhook:

      Hi
      I am trying to send the assigned tickets in the queue as .csv file to the slack channel. I am able to download the .csv file in the dev desktop through bash script but unable to send that file to the Slack Channel.

      Anyone have tried this before?

      I have checked this

      https://api.slack.com/methods/files.upload

      I have only Webhook URL no other token is there with me as per the suggestion in the above link.

      You must have a token or some kind of authentication, otherwise anyone would be spam slack with files.

      Also the function you are looking at is not a webhook. Webhooks are triggered by an event. And they cause a http request to be sent.

      I accept with your point the csv file which i download is authenticated with the kerberos only.So is that enough and send the .csv file to the slack channel through the webhook ?

      @stacksofplates maybe you can offer some insight?

      At the bottom of the upload API page they give you an example of what you need. You need your API token and the channel ID(s) that you want to send the data to.

      curl -F file=@dramacat.gif -F "initial_comment=Shakes the cat" -F channels=C024BE91L,D032AC32T -H "Authorization: Bearer xoxa-xxxxxxxxx-xxxx" https://slack.com/api/files.upload

      Yeah with the rests, lift kit, and lights it was around $350. I got it from ZSA soi didn't have to assumble it. They built it and sent it.

      Example Drive 1 is correct server location user have mapped
      Drive 2 which is incorrect name like test123 which is not there as well.but its showing in the File Explorer and its asking for the password whenever the user opens word or excel file in sharepoint

      @scottalanmiller said in How to Install PHP 7.3 on Ubuntu 18.04:

      I hate having to do this, but sometimes it has to be done. Here is how to get this middling PHP version onto this old version of Ubuntu.

      sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php sudo apt update

      I'm not sure that is the proper way to do it.
      ppa are personal repositories - meaning someone put it together.

      I think Ubuntu has offical backports, just like Debian.
      In that case it would be better to get a the "newer" php version from the backport repository instead.

      UPDATE.
      It looks like the ondrej/php repository is actually maintained by a Debian developer, Ondřej Surý. He is one of the package maintainers for the official debian and ubuntu php packages.
