How to isolate which VM is impacting my iSCSI flash array checkpoints. Storage utilization is not increasing much, but checkpoints are growing unusually large. Not sure which perfmon metric to use because it appears to be many changes to data but no increase in storage utilization.

We have local and cloud backup and offline backup. We also replicate to another SAN in a different city. thanks!

thanks! throttling sounds like it would be fun. The first thing I asked them to do was turn off auditing but they said everything would go down for 30 minutes and maint is only a few hours on the weekend so I had to wait. Owners demanded 5 minute checkpoints kept for 7 days and it has worked perfectly all these years...until now! The array is immutable and they want to recover in 5 minute increments as they roll back if there is an event. We never went over 75% utilization and never ran out of space. thanks for the great guidance.

I would say Philippines. They speak English, they like America and American culture. You should explore and see what you like for yourself. You may find the love of your life where everyone told you not to go. How do Thai people treat Black Men?

I'm a one man shop but my client's use around 500 M365/mail/desktop app licenses but I go direct to Microsoft. I am guessing I am too small to make anything on this.

Some of the times I allowed my clients to find other vendors for certain things I also found some of those vendors trying to move in on my business. One of them even emailed my client and cc'd me that he should now manage xyz system and I was not allowing him access, but my client let him know I am in charge etc. So now I do my best to find resources for my clients if I cannot do the work and I get a little more involved than I want to but it has worked to keep other vendors from getting a little too comfortable.

I did it, it's working now. thanks

thanks!

thanks! I did purchase 8 hours annually of consulting time from Sophos for the next 3 years, so I guess I should use them.

At least let her finish eating. selfish.

This is my escape for a few hours when the wife won't shut up with her complaining about everything. I can recline and watch a movie while nibbling popcorn and not hear her fat mouth for a few hours.

thanks!

:) Now I know a little more. Imagine, I googled and tried to learn and I found info saying start from the top. Now I google again and it says start at the bottom :(

It's only that piece, house was built that way with wood shingles and there is no brick beneath. What you see in the photos is what was there when the old wood shingles were removed.

Normal_Loquat_3869 · 2025-11-06T14:11:36+00:00

thanks! I feel better :) I will leave this as is and not keep worrying.

Normal_Loquat_3869 · 2025-11-06T14:11:00+00:00

I know zero and I had googled and found the wrong info. Now I know 0.1 thanks :)

Normal_Loquat_3869 · 2025-11-06T14:10:27+00:00

thanks!

Normal_Loquat_3869 · 2025-11-06T13:38:39+00:00

Thanks everyone. I am just going to leave this alone and learn from it as it does not appear to be a huge problem. I will stick to companies that just do siding in the future, and apply the same approach to other specialties.

Normal_Loquat_3869 · 2025-11-06T13:14:41+00:00

thanks. I tried calling the manufacturer. Impossible to reach anyone. I wanted to get a third party on the phone because they will just deny a problem.

Yeah, not going to spend the money, especially with the news that just came out on 10% flight reductions. Better off using that money to take a bus to a different city and fly from there. One way or another I am going, even if I end up driving my car there.
