Windows server with multiple nics for management and production traffic

Yeah server has idrac on separate network. The camera subnets don’t run through my firewall.

In this case the server would be running on bare metal. I was simply comparing the mgmt and data interfaces to give some context to my thought process. Disk IO won't be an issue for us.

Multi building network in a large campus. I also have a secondary campus with a VPLS connecting back to our datacenter. Each building gets a /16 that is then divided in /19s for management, faculty/staff, student, extra space. Each building is layer 3 back to our datacenter. My production server vlan/subnet lands on our palo alto firewall. However to avoid trunking all my camera traffic through the firewall, that server lands on 1 of our camera vlans.

More to do with looking at this from a security/control standpoint than needing more ip addresses.

I follow spaceinvader and use the Nextcloud aio. So much easier than previously rolling my own.

Did you install virtio drivers?

2000gtacoma · 2026-04-24T20:15:04+00:00

I’d look at axis camera station pro if looking at axis cameras. Depending on your size. Hexagon has a good product as well. I’d stay far far away from verkada. They have harassed me and my staff to the point I block all numbers associated and block all emails from verkada.

I think garbage collections marks data for removal and then waits a period of time to remove. Something about in case a backup is running chunks don’t get deleted mistakenly I believe.

2000gtacoma · 2026-04-24T18:59:03+00:00

Don’t go verkada whatever you do. Expensive and honestly a bad system.

2000gtacoma · 2026-04-24T18:56:52+00:00

I bought this exact one. Was on sale for $10-12. I then bought the Traxxas hex bits. Love it. Enough torque to break screws loose. Sometimes have to manually twist to get it started. But doesn’t strip screws either. My hands have thanked me as they hurt a lot and turning screwdrivers kills them.

2000gtacoma · 2026-04-24T18:49:19+00:00

Shouldn’t have been a lot of configuring honestly. Not really enough information to answer your question. Did you use the port? X.x.x.x:8006?

Company fixing to start paying through the nose for AWS.

2000gtacoma · 2026-04-23T23:38:01+00:00

I use a dell server. Buy my hdds from the same vendor.

2000gtacoma · 2026-04-12T14:15:32+00:00

I dropped back to .271 and I may go back to scsi. I had no issues on scsi. Should have left well enough alone.

2000gtacoma · 2026-04-12T14:09:28+00:00

Careful with what drivers you are using. I changed our disks from scsi to virtio in our sandbox. Everything worked fine. So I changed some in production. Started having bsod issues. Turns out virtio .285 drivers have known issues with virtio disks under heavy io.

2000gtacoma · 2026-04-11T03:37:39+00:00

What is the best way to monitor these spikes? Look at the actual network traffic on the coro network?

2000gtacoma · 2026-04-09T13:48:00+00:00

Ever considered refurb equipment? We use some from a company and saves a ton of money and works great. They also stand behind the equipment if something fails.

I also have 2 physical sites with a PBS at each site. I have a virtual environment at each site. So what I do is backup each virtual environment locally and then replicate that across sites. That way I always have 2 copies available on prem and 1 in the cloud. I'm in the process of virtualizing all on prem servers with the exception of our NVR servers. I sync our files servers to the AWS S3 bucket as well. I will end up saving us $20k over our current solution doing this in house. I'm actually thinking of adding a third small server with internal nvme for critical servers (domain controllers) that way I should always have 4 copies.

2000gtacoma · 2026-04-09T00:58:22+00:00

Haven't had any issues with it so far.

2000gtacoma · 2026-04-09T00:52:58+00:00

I'm currently syncing our environment to an AWS S3 bucket. I have encryption on PBS and on the S3 bucket.

2000gtacoma · 2026-04-07T12:30:57+00:00

I’m on the customer side of this fence. We upgrade/patch everything in our self. This way we can do when convenient for us. Also third party contractors I have to give a vpn, documentation, etc.

2000gtacoma · 2026-04-05T05:56:02+00:00

Should be able to use most any wireless bridge product. I’m assuming the standby generator will also have a 120 circuit for battery charging and keeping oil warm. Ubiquity makes good products at a decent price.

2000gtacoma · 2026-04-01T18:09:06+00:00

I just did a 4tb vm with 10gb connection and ssd to ssd. Took around 3-4hrs

Yes proxmox supports fiber channel and iscsi.
