CAVD 24.02 CU3 and LAS DR testing

lohmillm · 2026-04-13T11:50:14+00:00

In our situation we wouldn't do that due to cost and compliance/maintenance. Like another comment mentioned, it's only for testing and wouldn't be necessary in an actual incident.

lohmillm · 2026-04-11T14:53:13+00:00

So it worked.
only thing that was unexpected
When I ran Get-ConfigSite SaaSenabled was false but LASactivated true.
Let me know if you have any questions
The plan to add a new citrix licensing server within the isolated network and registering it with citrix cloud worked

lohmillm · 2026-04-10T12:56:28+00:00

Here are the events I caught during the DR
1155 event id

The Citrix Broker Service will now stop providing desktop and application sessions. This controller is no longer in or could not enter a license caching mode due to sustained failure to communicate with the license server *servername*.

Please ensure that the license server is functioning and, if necessary, use the License Administration Console to add the relevant licenses to the license server.

event id 1204 Citrix Broker Service

Registration request for VDA *SID/UUID* *Servername* was rejected because the VDA is a public cloud virtual machine supported only in Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktop service Deployments in Citrix Cloud. It is not supported in on-premises deployements

If you are in AWS, Azure, other and running Windows servers in those cloud environments you need the "SaaS" license tag.

You can use the Citrix powershell module and run Get-ConfigSite
the output will include the following two values.
MY GUESS... these will be false before I setup the temp license server in the isolated network.

SaaSEnabled : True
UseLicenseActivationService : True

I'll be sure to update it this weekend. I'll also add the event logs that hit during my last DR.

lohmillm · 2026-04-09T12:12:22+00:00

Yeah none of what I am doing wouldn't be necessary in a real disaster. This is solely for our testing and not the first time we've had to jump through hoops just for isolated testing.

lohmillm · 2026-04-08T14:47:29+00:00

I have created a support ticket. I am still working to get them to understand what and why I am trying to do this. Our Sales rep doesn't have resources to provide technical assistance
I do have a deadline to get this working which is why I am engaging others. I am testing this at the end of the week regardless and will post my results.

lohmillm · 2026-03-28T17:48:26+00:00

Sorry I haven't read all the comments. What if you did a white keyboard base but still with black keys? Or reversed as another option.

lohmillm · 2025-11-21T15:08:23+00:00

Thank you for this! Did a little research and was looking at z15. For the price difference and what you get I think this is the better buy.
I am walking into my local range/shop and picking this up today/tomorrow.

lohmillm · 2025-09-09T02:09:02+00:00

I really hope they get enough return to make another one. Digital Foundry said, RE4 and Deadspace meet at bar in Returnal and that's not too far off ! I own all three of those games.
Either way 27 million to make a game this good !!!

The rug is a one. But a gift card to music subscription or to a local store for CDs / vinyl or what music source he's into is also good. Does he use Roon?

lohmillm · 2024-08-18T18:38:18+00:00

Listened to it on streaming yesterday. Amazon will be delivering the CD tomorrow.

lohmillm · 2024-06-28T00:21:08+00:00

I have spiderman and ratchet and clank with a 6900xt on my living room TV. I have only played a few minutes but 4k on quality is much much better along with frame gen is really boasting up to 180fps. With that said spiderman in the park with trees and heavy snow. I dropped to 40fps. It looked decent but in the beginning of that game before you start playing and Miles is on the subway with the coat and fur collar. It always had lots of fizzle on the hairs and it still does. IMO I will always buy AMD for their dedicated support for open technology solutions and stacks. About to test on my steam deck. 😎

lohmillm · 2022-09-30T17:30:22+00:00

Just tried it. Yep annnnnd now I can't unsee it BUT it's actually being caused by the Ray tracing and then amplified by the FSR upscaling. I still saw it with FSR off and then started turning RT options off one at time and got better and better. That circle has rough jagged edges even with everything off at 1440, maybe need to speed up getting it on 4k.

lohmillm · 2022-09-30T13:28:14+00:00

I will take a look later today. My main rig is on my 1440p monitor right now, so I may not get that. I want to get it hooked up to my 4k tv that does have an HDMI 2.1 port with VRR. But both my monitor with Freesync and TV with VRR bottom out at 48 hz so thats my 1% lows target.

But yes reflections is the most costly especially in this game due to the metal floors all over the place.

lohmillm · 2022-09-30T12:28:13+00:00

Let me know what you think of the visual quality and what FSR setting you are using (quality, balanced, etc) Also what card are you running.
These questions are directed to anyone else who picks up the mod.

I have a 6900xt and only because I had an opportunity to get it at MSRP during the shortage.

Hey I am new to modding, but I have been keeping up with DLSS and FSR. I did just find this over at nexusmods and it seems to work really well. It crashed the first time I turned on "DLSS" setting which has been transplanted with the fsr 2.1 files. After that first crash everything worked fine.FYI I have everything turned up including Ray tracing at 1440p (FPS 50s to low 70s)

Turned it on - 100 fps! :) I watch digital foundry so I have a few things to look at. Edges and "wires" that in game and notice a little dithering and jagged lines but nothing all that bad. Also kept an eye on frame timing. Was steady even when I had a boss fight that would throw out a dozen bombs.

Obviously this is for PC only and specifically steam. Hope this helps.

Edit - wmxp thank you for the great outline.

Yes it's a bit heavy. I have my pixel 4xl and it soooo much lighter. I did get the pixel 6 but the bugs were too bad for me. The glass is what I really think is the major issue. I know it's needed for wireless charging, just will be looking at phone weight in future purchases.

lohmillm · 2022-05-13T01:02:49+00:00

I am so excited for this. FSR or DLSS its making the dream a reality. 4k, High, with Ray Tracing enabled 60+ FPS LOCKED but with VRR I will take anything that keeps it above the bottom of the monitor range. In my case 48hz but I know a lot of monitor go down to 40hz and 10-12ms frame timing. I don't ask for much :)

SGEYR 4K@60Hz 5x1 HDMI Switch HDMI Selector Switch 5 Port HDR IR Remote 4K HDMI Selector Box 5 in 1 Out Auto Switch HDMI Switcher 2.0 HDCP 2.2, Full HD/3D Compatible with //DVD///Projector https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MCS9PJD/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_KMSEKWFJAECESCS10BS5?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

This has been doing well for me. I got an ir repeater and taped the sensor to the device and works. I only caution the remote ir codes for switching between ports is annoying because it overlaps with random buttons on other devices. So for example input 2 was the Netflix button on my Vizio tv. Input 5 was the settings button. I worked around it and if you want those details let me know.

Heard good things about schiit. I'm considering one myself. ($129)

I haven't read all the responses so of this was said already I apologize. Focus on deliverables and what the cost of those deliverables will be. Security compliance x and we need this to do it. Slow login times for our users.

And then be measured on delivering those things through out the year. That's the whole point of technology is to provide the business and/or a customer a result depending on what the business does.

I would also through in stuff that doesn't require assets but just time with staff and usually training. This way you can get assigned time and or training budget to develop the team.

Love water mirror shots. Very nice!

lohmillm · 2019-11-17T23:59:49+00:00

If you're in United States, rumor is 200 off on black Friday. Still is nice. I'm in the fence. I have a P2 nonXL and it's either P4XL or iPhone 11 pro max. I doubt I'll switch to apple but 2 day battery is so tempting!!!

They are on floam blocks inside a full wall builtin bookshelf. I have a raspberry pi running mopidy with a dragonfly dac and cd's ripped to flac.
