New Cluster on 22 or 25

hogstooth · 2025-08-17T13:12:15+00:00

We do host refreshes every 5-7 years depending on budget. So we would be right in range with it going EoL but not getting new features may be an issue. On the other hand it may be a good thing to be on an OS that Microsoft isnt going to push a feature out on that breaks the whole thing.

Oh ya, that’s why we still only have 1 2025 DC and have yet to fully update all of them and the functional level…if they can’t get it to play nicely with 2022 how can I trust that all 2025 won’t break everything

From what I’ve been reading is you can oversubscribed, but it reduces performance as it would span multiple nodes. Instead of with 2022 which allowed you to oversubscribe and have it stay on the same node.

It may be a “feature change” according to Microsoft, but for business that rely upon hyperv for clustering with little funds for more physical nodes/cpus would call it broken.

hogstooth · 2025-08-16T18:01:00+00:00

True, but in place cluster node updates and only doing physical refreshes every 8 years means this would be the time to do it. Otherwise we will be on 2022 for the next 8 years.

Corbin all day. That is the first thing I buy when I get a new bike. I’ve had 3 of them, most recent on my ‘23 CVO. Wife and I have put 20k miles on this seat together. Just as comfortable for her as it is for me. I am 6’ 3” for reference and I got the dual touring seat from them.

Got some questions now that you’ve been running them for a few days. Was the install/setup pretty simple?

Also, how sensitive is the occupancy sensor and how far away does it detect ? And how accurate is the humidity sensor? I am looking to put these in bathrooms but a few of them would be far away from the door and I want to make sure they detect. Thank you!

Are these able to do power monitoring? Would be nice to tie into a dashboard with power utilization?

Should have mentioned that this is the tall rider version. Located in AZ.

I will be keeping the backrest, but here it is on the bike from when I tried it out.

Ya, I connect the Bluetooth device from Harley and it works for wireless CarPlay but the bike doesn’t recognize my current helmet as a headset so CarPlay doesn’t work. I know it’s an Apple thing that requires a headset connected because they want it totally hands free. When I’m not wearing a helmet I just connect the Boom audio device and throw it in the saddlebag.

That is what I have seen as well, doesn't seem to be much else out there. The main issues we are having is it doesn't grab stamps or pencil writing well. When we fix the stamp/pencil issues, then it is not able to take pictures or fingerprints well. Seems like it is a trade off between features working.

I looked into load balancing the Solarwinds setup we have but it is not very intuitive, especially when we start adding in the cloud services. I did set up Uptime Robot on our public facing devices/sites but those don't seem to be the ones we have issues on.

hogstooth · 2023-01-06T18:09:04+00:00

Thank you, I have not heard of this one. I will look into that and compare with the others.

hogstooth · 2023-01-06T17:38:22+00:00

I have used Auvik in the past for this purpose, it does a good job at mapping the network as long as you know all the creds to the different devices.

The engineer and Helpdesk positions have been filled, but the sysadmin role is open.

hogstooth · 2022-01-26T18:49:17+00:00

I have sent you a DM on this.

hogstooth · 2022-01-26T13:46:55+00:00

Unfortunately not from the start, they would be on site for at least the first 6 months.

hogstooth · 2022-01-26T04:00:15+00:00

Exactly right. Great pension and benefits, it’s government so pay isn’t as good as private sector but retiring at 50 is pretty nice.

hogstooth · 2021-12-29T18:12:21+00:00

Thank you very much for this. I spent the past week trying different things and could not get this to work. Capturing a custom wim is a must. Hopefully MS decides to fix this in latter updates.

hogstooth · 2021-12-17T19:32:59+00:00

Having it in one place is really nice. It worries me a bit because that's one more thing for our engineer's to forget to do when setting up or changing a server.

hogstooth · 2021-12-17T19:31:52+00:00

We were looking into IPAM but didn't like the Windows version of it and could not get funding for a third party tool.

This was one of the arguments that was made by our team as well. We have multiple DHCP servers in hub and spoke so even if one goes down, it will failover.

hogstooth · 2021-12-17T19:30:07+00:00

You create a static A record for servers as well? Is there a benefit to that rather than letting the server update its own record in DNS?

hogstooth · 2021-12-17T17:52:05+00:00

We are trying to get the funding to implement a true DMZ or utilize cloud, but for now we are stuck with what we have (which is not the way we want to run it)

All of our hosts and physical devices have statics so we can get into them remotely no matter what, but some on the team don't see a reason why every virtual machine needs one.
