    • RE: Hypervisors: revisit your choices!

      @Obsolesce said in Hypervisors: revisit your choices!:

      Exactly my point. It's entirely subjective, based on personal experience and expertise, etc., no basis behind the question.

      How you read the original post & concluded with VPS is a head scratcher.

      This thread is about choice of hypervisors.
      Feel free to start your own thread about VPS's, if you prefer VPS's, good for you.

      That is already sounding expensive for no reason. Why not a $2.50 / mo VPS? That's way cheaper than server hardware, and all the time and resources spend dealing with that.

      Where did I say anything about VPS's?

    • Hypervisors: revisit your choices!

      No Type 2 discussion here.

      Was having a discussion with myself & just wondering out loud........

      Tomorrow, if I was starting from scratch, I would use "........"

      Started in 05/06 with Virtual Iron (VI got "swallowed" by Oracle).
      then switched to Hyper-V (it was beta, back in the '06 timeframe).
      Since then, I've also tried some XenServer, oVirt & ESXi.
      Currently use KVM.

      Now back to that tomorrow statement....
      For a standalone setup, my 1st choice would be KVM + Virt-Manager.
      For a hyperconverged setup, my 1st choice would be VMware + VSAN.

      I'd never even bother with Hyper-V.

      @Pete-S gotcha!

    • RE: Windows Server licensing for HA?

      @Pete-S said in Windows Server licensing for HA?:

      If you have two servers and run HA, does that mean that you have to license Windows Server standard for the maximum number of VMs running when you have a failure?

      So for example,
      Server A: 16 cores, runs 6 VMs normally
      Server B: 16 cores, runs 6 VMs normally

      So each server has to be licensed for all 12 VMs running on 16 cores - so 6 x Windows Server Standard licenses for each server, total of 12 licenses?

      But if you didn't run HA, you would only license each server for 6 VMs, with 3 x Windows Server Standard, a total of 6 licenses?

      Is this correct?

      I don't believe this is correct.
      You must license for all the cores, 16 per server, in your case.
      Even if you choose to run 1 VM, you must still license for 16 cores..."All physical cores on the server must be licensed, subject to a minimum of 8 core licenses per physical processor and a minimum of 16 core licenses per server"

    • RE: Netgear Insight Managed Switches

      @wrx7m said in Netgear Insight Managed Switches:

      @pmoncho I am guessing that none of those have a dedicated stacking interface?

      Is there any switch (Unifi or Edge line) that is "stackable"? I don't think so.

    • RE: UNMS backup question

      @JaredBusch said in UNMS backup question:

      If you want to restore an individual unit, that process is already built into the system so what are you trying to get exported?

      I'm just asking for info purposes in case of a future restore.

      @FATeknollogee said in UNMS backup question:

      How are you doing/handling your UNMS backups?

      The automatic back up process runs daily. And I currently randomly download them. I keep meaning to script those off to another system.

      Does this auto backup process include a "backup" of all the individual devices that are being managed by UNMS such that one can restore a single ER or switch etc?

      Would be nice to "move" that auto backup "offsite".
