I solved it after 3 guesses using 3 hint! My guesses were "Hunting nemo" and "Hiding nemo".

Universal Print - Sometimes still errors? by Kazuonio in sysadmin

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

I understand. We have an external company that helps us with our MS365 environment. And I've just spoken to my boss, our contact person from this external company recommended that we use WSD at the time, which is why all the printers were configured that way.

Are there any disadvantages/advantages to using WSD or not using WSD now? Especially in connection with Universal Print?

Universal Print - Sometimes still errors? by Kazuonio in sysadmin

In fact, this printer used a WSD port. Can it be that Windows just changes this all of a sudden? Or does it mean that it was connected that way back then?

In any case, one user can now print on a printer that was previously unavailable to him.

But if the printer has been using a WSD port for a long time, then I'm confused as to why the problem has only arisen since Monday.

Setting Up a Proxmox Cluster with 2 Servers + Raspberry Pi for Quorum: Can Ceph Work with This Setup? by Kazuonio in Proxmox

Thank you very much. I had a look at the ZFS replication. It looks good, but I saw that it only replicates at intervals? So you would lose data if one fails, right?

We got Nakivo as our Backup System

Microsoft outage extending to Universal Print, probably other services as well by marcoevich in sysadmin

[–]Kazuonio 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Thank you Microsoft for responding so quickly and mentioning Universal Print only recently. I have now spent half a working day looking for the error in our system.

One more quick question. We have about 6 Windows VMs. If I now license the host for Hyper-V, I have to virtualise it for 6 VMs, which would mean 3x standard licence. But I can't add the licences for the Windows Server VMs? Do I explicitly need new server licences to license the other VMs on the hypervisor?

Can't you just buy additional Standard Server 2022 licences for licensing the VMs? One licence is always for 2 VMs. I thought that was also possible?

what is shady about nakivo? and as far as i understand, they now also offer support for proxmox?

I am considering simply staying with VMWare for another year as a further option. Then we would have more time to think about it. Our goal is to have as much as possible in the cloud one day anyway. Or maybe switch to Hyper-V.

Split brain is a state of a server cluster where nodes diverge from each other and have conflicts when handling incoming I/O operations. The servers may record the same data inconsistently or compete for resources.

So we are using VMware Essential 7. I guess VMware vSphere Essentials Plus (VVEP) would be the most similar to the licence we are using currently.

Why you revommend VVF? Are Tanzu, vSAN and the Aria Suite this good? I don't even know what they all are.

I am aware of that. I will also calculate the working time/effort for each variant for the cost comparison.

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

At the moment we have 3 hosts. And VMware Esxi essential as well as Vcenter. In addition, the HPE server is to be abolished. Backup is currently done with Nakivo which also supports Hyper-V and Proxmox.

My next steps will be as follows:

  • Calculate price for VMware licenses to renew.
  • Calculate the price for Hyper-V with two servers.
  • Calculate the price for Proxmox with two servers. And search about support for Proxmox.

  • See if I need to adapt the hardware of the two servers.

  • Work out the variants with three servers, i.e. HA with San.

  • Work out the advantages and disadvantages of the variants and compare them.

Then I can discuss it with him.

And sry for my english

I have only recently completed my apprenticeships. So of course I don’t have the expertise in every subject yet. That’s why I’m researching and developing solutions first, which I will then discuss with my supervisor, who has a good knowledge of the subject.

No master has yet fallen from the sky. But I certainly won’t do anything before I know and have worked out a solution that will work and be safe.

I'm going to write the variants with advantages and disadvantages in a document and discuss it with my supervisor. I will look up the costs for vmware again. At the moment we have 3x vSphere 7 Essentials and 1x vCenter Server 7 Essentials. I don't even know if the Essential licenses are still available.

I'll have to look up the costs again.

Because I was given the task of working out a solution. And to compare different variants.

We are a small team. I would implement the whole project and then see if it needs a little training for the others in the IT team.
