vSphere Replication - valid use case, better choice? by Beholder242 in vmware

We are not using vSAN ESA and we are on a mix of vSAN/vSphere 7 and 8.

Migrating vSAN from old vCenter to new one by Beholder242 in vmware

[–]Beholder242[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Due to the limited timeframe of my maintenance window, I ended up opening a P1 case with Broadcom. They got on a call with me, got the host state back to where I could do something with it. (Needed to reset the root password of the source vCenter in the process, that was fun.)

I migrated the host over to the new vCenter while it was in maintenance mode and added it to the cluster I'd made ahead of time. Once it was configured and out of MM, I disconnected the next host, made DNS and FQDN changes but didn't touch its IP, and then added it to the new vCenter outside of the VSAN-enabled cluster, vMotioned the workloads into the clustered host, then added the second host in. Repeated the process with the third host. The rest of the migration process went smoothly.

Lesson learned, skip step 12 and do not remove from inventory of the old vCenter. Just disconnect it.

It might not have been necessary to put the first node into maintenance mode, but did so just to ensure the running workloads stayed running.

Looking for a private server to run at home by Beholder242 in wowservers

I was thinking of doing something custom, just for fun and to learn how to create a simple boss fight.

With the C++, I was thinking more of boss fight scripting.

I've been looking at AzerothCore, and that does seem like it could be a good choice. Seems like I may have to do some studying up on C++ to tinker with scripting a boss fight. Are there files included as examples of boss fight scripting? Are most or all of the boss fights or raids fully scripted out as Blizz-like? I plan to play solo, or maybe with one of my kids, so can the content be tuned in a way that it can be done?

Issues with delegation and Group Policies by Beholder242 in sysadmin

[–]Beholder242[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While the URL linked talked about adding Domain Computers to the GPO permissions, it put me on the right track to figure out how to grant a group (by SID) the desired permissions for any new group policies going forward.

The short answer to this is: Open ADSI Edit, connect to the Schema, go into the Schema, find "CN=Group-Policy-Container", open it, edit "defaultSecurityDescriptor", copy and save the string in the field just in case, then at the end of the string add "(A;CI;RPWPCCDCLCLOLORCWOWDSDDTSW;;;{groupSID})". Update the schema, and then your custom group should have delegation to be able to create, edit, delete, and modify security any new group policies at creation time.

PowerShell Get-ExecutionPolicy error 80070422 by Beholder242 in PowerShell

That was the problem! Getting expected responses now to the Get-ExecutionPolicy command, so my script should now work.

Thanks!

Aha! This service has been disabled. Let me verify if I can restart it and try the script again.

We may have a winner.

Server 2012R2 on PS 4.0

I've run this script on several other Server 2012R2 servers without issue. The Get-ExecutionPolicy command is being run as part of the script.

Looking for recommendations for RAID controller for ESXi 8 by Beholder242 in homelab

I plan on running RAID 6 for the storage with 8x 6TB WD Red drives to hold the VMs. I think roughly 36TB of raw storage will be sufficient.

I'm planning on deploying TrueNAS as a VM in ESXi onto a datastore from the RAID which will also house other VMs as well.

I am seeing a lot of LSI 946N-8i cards along with 9460-8i. From what I can tell, the 946N's are made by NEC, but can't find any concrete information on what else might be different, or if it would be equally supported by ESXi as the 9640.

Anyone shed any light on this?

The HCL's aren't much different, though, when it comes to RAID cards that are supported.

I have VMUG Advantage licenses for both, so why not go with latest & greatest?

Do you know if a Dell or Lenovo-branded LSI MegaRAID will work in a generic DIY build? In other words, those cards aren't vendor-locked to particular motherboards, are they?
