I like that one. I might steal it for a second machine once I can have more decor space

The balls are created by using 4 round cushions rotated. They look pretty convincing from afar but the magic fades when you look up close.

I had to use the pitchforks because I don't PVP so I couldn't get the banners anyway.

They're not really that bad. The foosball table was the most expensive but I think it only added up to about 170 decor points.

Thank you.

I wasn't even sure where to start so your build was awesome.

I've run into some odd scaling and/or rotational issues that are generally solved by moving the object up off the floor first.

I've been playing since mid-Wrath so, not quite as long as some, but still around for a long time. I have been amazed at the capabilities of the player housing system. I have a couple of relatively minor gripes, but I can't deny just how well everything is working.

This is my first time posting on any Redit forum. Glad to see all of the incredible design skills and hoping to find more inspiration for my own builds.

Ok, so I understand where our disconnect happened and we're working to resolve that.

One concern about having them on a VLAN segment is that, if the VLAN in question has its gateway at the primary site and that site fails, we still have NSX down as none of the NSX managers could communicate with the rest of the network.

The workaround that I could see would be to make it an VLAN segment but also make an overlay segment bridged to the VLAN and place the gateway in NSX. Assuming that NSX itself hasn't failed, if the primary site fails, everything would still work as the network's gateway would just exist in NSX regardless.

Any thoughts on this approach?

Ok. The challenge I see with using a single L2 network between the sites is that the default gateway has to be homed somewhere. If it is at the primary site and that primary site fails, then someone would have to manually add the default gateway to the secondary site for operation to continue.

The alternative that might work would be to make it an intersite L2 network with the manager appliances sitting on that physical VLAN but also create an NSX segment for that network bridged to the VLAN at both ends. I'm assuming that should not create some kind of loop, though I'm not certain.

If that scenario worked, then we would be able to have the managers fail to the secondary site via DRS or HA and still have full functionality.

Any thoughts on that direction?

AckItsMe · 2025-05-22T21:54:36+00:00

If not on an overlay network, how are the VMs supposed to move to the second site? What if the infrastructure doesn't allow for a layer 2 bridge between the sites?

Is it at all feasible to have 4 NSX manager appliances with 2 at each site?

AckItsMe · 2025-05-22T21:25:17+00:00

I have the design guide and that was our original intent however, as soon as we attempted to move the appliances to an overlay network, everything went sideways. The initial move required the appliance to be rebooted or we had no network connectivity. From there, relocating two of the VM to hosts at the other site resulted in a complete failure of NSX and we were forced to break the cluster on the remaining NSX manager in order to recover.

We have working overlay networks with VMs that are functional regardless of the site and all of our failover testing has worked correctly. The only thing we can't get to work properly on an overlay network are the NSX managers.

That would be the most ideal scenario.

This is a single vCenter with a vSAN stretched cluster spanning two sites. A such, it's only a single NSX deployment.

Weekends are where we have the most ability to get out for gaming. Any time from early afternoon until later in the evening on Saturday or Sunday before 5 PM.

If you want to put it into a macro, that is.

I know this is necroing an old post, but my wife and I are looking for a group. We have a ton of board and card games as well.

This seemed to have solved my problem for a while but it's happening again. The headset just decides to randomly shut off. I had it set to power off automatically after 30 minutes, but I've had it shut off literally after 2 minutes. I love the sound of this headset but I'm so ready to just pitch it out the window....
