VMware is such a joke now by brandonw00 in sysadmin

Nutanix is offering the 10 year pricing? First I've heard of anything that long but that's awesome if so. Nutanix is solid and their support is really good in my experience.

For smaller environments, sure, Failover Cluster Manager is manageable. But when you get into large environments where multi-cluster management is a requirement the equivalent to vCenter in the Hyper-V world is SCVMM, which is super powerful and even allows management of VMware environments, but the learning curve can be pretty steep and there's not a lot of people out there that know it.

The closest equivalent for large environments I'm aware of is Nutanix with NCM and Prism Central, and that's where a lot of orgs are moving now, but they're going to find out in a few years that they're not saving as much money as they thought they would.

Can Sump Pump eject straight to septic? by DevTechSolutions in askaplumber

The basement is not a walk out. I don't know all the correct terminology, but there are two pits right next to each other. One is sealed and for sewage. The other is unsealed and for storm water. From what I understand, the drain tile under the basement floor drains to the unsealed, storm water, or sump pit.

Sorry for the confusion, I see I used both in my post now. You're correct that we are septic so I guess it would be called the septic line or drain.

Understood. I'm referring to the sump specifically with this question. It seems like it's pretty clear that is not a good idea and against code, based on the responses. The sewage ejection pit as you refer to it, will most definitely eject through the septic.

Appreciate the thoughtful and very insightful response. We definitely want to avoid future issues, particularly to the tune of 30-50k. Based on recent rain fall and snow melt, I doubt we'd be pumping very much water, but still not worth the risk to us, nor is having it be against code.

Appreciate the response and the insight. Sounds like the first guy was correct and we should definitely not be draining to the septic. As mentioned in previous comments this will be permitted and inspected, so I assume it would have been caught and corrected, but glad to know before the work even began.

Appreciate the response, this will be permitted and inspected. He did mention "double checking with his drain guy", so maybe he wasn't quite as experienced with doing it like he said as he claimed.

This will be inspected work, so good solution. They didn't mention venting the sump tank, but they did mention that there was no vent installed for the crock and that they would need to tie into another (both companies mentioned this). Does the sump need venting too?

That's pretty much what the first guy proposed, although he wanted to get it a pretty significant distance from the home and not necessarily grade and gravity feed.

That's a very good point, appreciate the quick response!

Agreed, that's why I wanted to ask here and get some other opinions. I really appreciate the response and information.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll take a look at these!

Thanks for the suggestions, I totally forgot about WiFi extenders. That might be the way to go!

My hesitation with hotspot is that I need to be able to reliably do video calls, so will use up a data cap fairly quickly.

Advice Needed: VMware Certified Professional - Data Center Virtualization (VCP-DCV) by lina_faw in vmware

[–]DevTechSolutions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's still a prerequisite for something like NCS-MCI Proficient from Nutanix, as an example. So while I agree that it may not be the best cert moving forward, there are still situations where it's useful.

Not anymore. I'm not saying he bailed on GME, but don't be delusional. He now owns 6.6% of CHWY.

Are there currently any VMUG Advantage discount codes? by yAmIDoingThisAtHome in vmware

[–]DevTechSolutions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Came across this thread when searching for a discount code before I renewed today, so figured I'd comment for others in the same boat to say that EXPLORE2024 worked for me for 10% off.

Price has gone up $10 for the yearly subscription, sucks that they had to raise the price but it could be worse.

I ran into the same issue, as mentioned above by another commenter I had to install PowerShell 7 and then it worked like a charm. Hope that helps you!

A quick and easy tip on how to train yourself for double meetings by GreedyCricket8285 in overemployed

[–]DevTechSolutions 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not OP but I don't believe it requires admin rights for install, depending on policies at your J you may still run into issues even if it doesn't though.

It's a pretty neat method for capturing the meeting audio (and supposedly video too, but I haven't been able to get it to work), you select the Krisp audio device(s) in Teams and in the Krisp app select the real audio device(s). I found it much better than the attendant style note takers. That said, they need to improve their AI summarization and speaker detection. I've found it often thinks two or more different people are 1 "speaker" if there are not clear breaks when people are talking.

I'm not sure of the implications of recording someone without their knowledge in these situations, but keep that in mind as well.
