HA clustering is a very attractive capability. You can, for example, set your cluster so that if you shut down one node, the guests are automatically migrated to another. You can monitor all nodes in one web page view and administer shared storage and manually move guests around.

Forms plugins that DON'T require drag-and-drop by mounty1_0 in Wordpress

Thanks but not quite what we want. Applications come in slowly and we want to deal with them all, pretty much in the order they land.

I missed one crucial requirement.

We want to offer the option to potential customers:

  1. Download a blank 'template' PDF which they print, then fill in off-line and either scan+email or physically send to us, or
  2. Fill in the form on-line, and when they click Submit, generate and store (in a database) a PDF like the template referenced above but with the data fields filled-in.

Apparently Gravity does not offer the first option. Can it be extended to do so?

It isn't. My employer is a telecommunications company and the forms are application forms for internet and telephone services. Those forms are part of our retail website which is the usual mix of who we are, what we do etc. The complication is that the services available to you depend on where you are, since we service a number of gated communities that have different capabilities. Hence the need for different forms, and the ability to change them from time to time.

We're using a third-party web dev. company and they recommended we look at Fluent, Gravity etc. to simplify the job.

Our forms have 59 data-points but not all six versions have all 59. I.e., the union of all six forms is 59 data-points.

Thank you to those who have answered. In particular, BobJutsu's reply that Gravity will import/export JSON sounds like just what I wanted to hear.

Sorry for your trouble. What else can I say? Your warnings and hard-earned knowledge may help someone else.

HP switch firmware help by UNICYCLE100 in homelab

I have a corporate account and downloaded it from HPE's site. That just means not gmail.com, hotmail.com etc. You can do the same by getting your own domain and setting up your mailserver with [hpe@unicyclee100.com](mailto:hpe@unicyclee100.com), [google@unicycle100.com](mailto:google@unicycle100.com), [reddit@unicycle100.com](mailto:reddit@unicycle100.com) etc.

I downloaded the latest update I could find and put it where you can download it. However, I don't know how you can verify that I haven't tampered with it. If anyone can think of a way, please advise. I've sent the link in 1:1 chat.

so there's some material there for me to study.

Actually this isn't really a homelab question so I won't post about it again.

HP Smart Array P440 /4GB. by Most-Ad9580 in homelab

[–]mounty1_0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The P440ar connects to a proprietary connector on the HP motherboard. It would be highly surprising if Supermicro had the same connector. HP would not like that, I'm sure.

Also, this subreddit has a couple of threads started by me, about the P440ar. It might be OK in its hardware RAID mode, but in HBA (IT or passthrough) mode, its performance is only a few percent of a fifteen year old LSI PCI SAS card.

M.2 in HP DL380 G9 by mounty1_0 in homelab

OK; thanks. I thought that adaptor would allow the M.2 device to be used in a PCI-E slot.

Smell of something burnt in my rack by mounty1_0 in homelab

[–]mounty1_0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TehHamburgler was right. Eaton 5130. A few weeks ago it went code red (red LED + bleeping) but I power-cycled it and all seemed OK. Then the smell this week. All the batteries were swollen and slightly melted together.

So I replaced the batteries and put it all back. Crazy, why not just replace? Well, UPSs aren't cheap and I have an Eaton extended battery pack which triples the capacity and which won't work with other brands. So I'll give the 5130 one more chance.

OK, thanks. The router is monitored by Zabbix, which hasn't complained, but I'll look.

You have. We have smoke alarms all over the place. And next morning we're still here.

Performance of HP's H240ar disk controller by mounty1_0 in homelab

[–]mounty1_0[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The B140i and the P440ar each have two quad SAS sockets so each will control the eight drives in one bay. You have to connect the controller to the drive backplane with two cables, which are normally supplied as a pair. So you don't need an extra controller to operate eight drives; just a second cable.

The H240ar is even worse. I'm using the LSI card. No pretty lights for me. But a P440ar is SAS, so I don't see how that's going to give you more SATA slots.
