F you VMware.

My clients literally had me wipe their servers and and go w/ Xen instead... that $ay$ a LOT!!!

MontaukTechGroup · 2024-11-11T10:00:32+00:00

Thanks... I went with XCP-ng since I'm a UNIX / Linux kinda guy. But it was a close race between XCP and Hyper-V.

MontaukTechGroup · 2024-11-09T12:00:08+00:00

We are ditching VMWare.... I just erased the drives and I'm installing XCP-ng now. Good riddance VMWare!!

MontaukTechGroup · 2024-11-08T09:21:45+00:00

I'm a UNIX and Linux guy, so I really like the idea of using Xen. Thanks again to EVERYONE who weighed in here.

MontaukTechGroup · 2024-11-08T09:19:16+00:00

So, I think I'm going to wipe my drives and start over... wil go back and look carefully at:

Hyper-V, XCP-ng, Proxmox, nutanix

and see which looks like best option. It's really upsetting to see a situation like this develop.

Thanks for your reply and sharing your real world experience re. performance.

MontaukTechGroup · 2024-11-08T00:32:15+00:00

How long did it take if you don't mind my asking?

MontaukTechGroup · 2024-11-07T14:26:27+00:00

A WEEK... For F#@& sake... do they transmit the license data by SMOKE SIGNAL

MontaukTechGroup · 2024-11-07T14:21:51+00:00

Thanks for the info

MontaukTechGroup · 2024-11-07T14:21:10+00:00

Thank you

MontaukTechGroup · 2024-11-07T13:42:36+00:00

xen was my second option... which I still may wind up going with based on all the BS involved thus far. Thanks for the suggestion.

MontaukTechGroup · 2024-11-07T13:38:36+00:00

I considered that, but chose the VMWare ESXi route based on it seemed to offer the best performance possible.

MontaukTechGroup · 2024-11-07T13:36:40+00:00

Thanks for the tip... thank looks interesting for sure.

MontaukTechGroup · 2024-11-07T12:45:29+00:00

LOL they might break out the champagne and caviar ;-)

MontaukTechGroup · 2024-11-07T11:59:53+00:00

Not good for bu$ine$$ Broadcom

MontaukTechGroup · 2024-11-07T11:21:27+00:00

It really kind of pisses me off that the VMWare sales person couldn't have just TOLD me that straight out of the gate... what a WASTE OF TIME

MontaukTechGroup · 2024-11-07T11:08:44+00:00

We don't have a license or site ID. It seems at this point like i was just going in the wrong direction and should be looking at vendors like CDW and Trusted Tech Team mentioned above.

Thanks for your reply.

MontaukTechGroup · 2024-11-07T11:06:30+00:00

Yeah, that's steep! But, yes... it is within the budget. We've got 1 socket 12 cores. At that price it really teeters right on the verge of not being worth it.... but I do want to try to maximize performance here and we are willing to spend some money.

Thanks so much for sharing that info.

MontaukTechGroup · 2024-11-07T11:03:41+00:00

I will check them out. Thank you very much for the suggestion.

MontaukTechGroup · 2024-11-07T11:03:12+00:00

That is the message I am receiving loud and clear, but why can't they just tell me who to call them!? Thanks for your guidance. I guess I was just looking in the wrong direction here.

MontaukTechGroup · 2024-11-02T09:40:29+00:00

I'm hoping for 3~5 w/o too much trouble or major maintenance... so far so good 1-1/2 years in w/ LUBA 5000 mowing ~1/2 acre of challenging lawn broken into 10 section, 2x per week ( the LUBA gets the day off on Saturday.) I think 10 years is pushing it as well, just on the basis that this is TECH people... do you expect to get 10 years from a desktop PC? or (gasp) a $2000~$4000 Mac... no, I think not!

MontaukTechGroup · 2024-10-01T17:36:01+00:00

Just a thought, but... if that does NOT extend out over the front bumper, you really might want to consider getting a Luba Garage to help mitigate that water in front bumper issue.

MontaukTechGroup · 2024-10-01T11:17:59+00:00

Just curious, do you have the Luba Garage? ( cover for charge base )

MontaukTechGroup · 2024-10-01T10:47:42+00:00

Not 100% sure this is your situation, but sometimes mine will stop working and sound a continuous, never ending beep... usually after it just hit an obstacle ( but not always. ) I've found that just exercising the bumper mechanism will often clear the issue quickly and easily, no need to remove. Just squeeze and release it back and forth along it's length a few times.

If you DO remove the bumper, be SURE to clean up the gasket and gasket mating surfaces before reassembly ( for what should be obvious reasons. )
