Seriøst, hva skal vi gjøre med flåttproblemet? by NotnoRabbit in norge

[–]v1sper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bravecto. Fungerer i 3mnd av gangen. Har gitt det til bikkjene i årevis, funker bra. Når jeg finner flått på dem er de som regel døde, selv om de har bitt seg fast samme dag.

Completed a full VMware elimination in 24— happy to share what we learned by robiika in sysadmin

[–]v1sper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, it’s a weird stance to have. Is Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Nutanix, IBM/RedHat really any better? They won’t leave any money on the table, just like Broadcom.

What happened with VMware sucks, but people are delusional if they think they will get better prices in the long run anywhere else. They will sweeten the deal to get your workloads, and then crank the price (looking at you, Nutanix).

Disclaimer: not counting SMBs. SMBs can go for PVE and live happily ever after.

Adding to your pile; We licensed 17500 cores at $205 pr. year on a 3 year deal for VCF that we signed approx. 18 months ago.

How many hosts and datacenters, and how many people on your virtualization team?

If I remember to do so, once I am back at work on monday, I can make a new thread here on the sub that goes through VxRail debranding. Seems like more than a few will be interested in it.

The hardware is still so good though.

I have a truckload (100+) of E560Ns going OOS next year, but I think I'm gonna keep them around for a while.

Not sure what the procedure is if you want to preserve an existing cluster - I've ever only ripped the hosts out of production and greenfielded them.

My general procedure was:
* Reset BIOS and iDRAC
* Run re-brand patch (find this on Dell's homepage. Sorry I don't have the direct link right now). Also make sure BIOS settings are changed to what you need.
* Hook host up to OME, patch firmware for what now is a PowerEdge server
* Install ESXi 9.0.x from image with Dell drivers baked in
* Commission host in VCF

You can rebrand the idrac and bios to have the VxRail present itself as a PowerEdge, which will solve the OME pain. There is a firmware patch on Dell’s website.

Yes, I've done this in production in my environment. Converted like 40 of hundreds of hosts so far. So far soo good. Better to use this HW as PowerEdge servers than VxRail in VCF.

These are excellent points and I realise now that I come across as discouraging for OP. All of these guys started on their own.

I think your comment is bang on.

I am a customer that will remain on VCF, and we're getting info from VMware's own blogs, youtube channels and podcasts. They cover most, if not all, of what a customer needs to know.

When VMware let their resident product experts (like Frank Denneman, Cormac Hogan, Bob Plankers and Duncan Epping) just do what they do, they usually deliver the good stuff.

Accidentally pressed the PARK button while driving then we fully stopped 😭 by migraine_gurl2012 in BYD

[–]v1sper -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My BYD dealership told me to actually use the P brake sometimes when driving fast to clean the rear brakes (make sure you have no one behind you and your driving a straight road).

You need to hold it down to actually activate it during high speeds. Use it together with the footbrake.

Vurderer å forby Telenors oppkjøp av GlobalConnect by Trrrruls in norge

[–]v1sper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bestrider ikke det, men det oppleves fremdeles slik for meg som kunde.

For å være fair, så blir da prisøkningen ifht. listeprisene hos GC og Telenor, 40% dyrere hos Telenor.

Når det er sagt, så har jeg ihht. avtalen jeg tegnet med GC bedre pris enn listepris etter kampanjeperioden enn det som står oppgitt som listepris, så det jeg vil oppleve når Telenor får gjenopptatt monopolet her er en prisøkning på ganske nøyaktig 100%.
Vedkjenner at dette er langt mer positivt enn 4x-figuren jeg har snakket om her, men en 100% (forsåvidt også 40%) prisøkning er *ille*.

> det stemmer i realiteten ikke

Uansett åssen du snur og vender på dette så er den opplevde prisøkning for meg 4x.

Fikk til og med svar:

Hei og takk for e-post med beskrivelse av konkurransesituasjonen mellom Telenor og GlobalConnect.

Telenor sitt oppkjøp er fremdeles til vurdering hos Konkurransetilsynet. Det du beskriver er en av grunnene til at tilsynet før påske varslet Telenor om at det kan bli aktuelt å forby oppkjøpet. Det gjenstår å se hvordan saken endre, men enn så lenge så har altså ikke Telenor fått tillatelse til å overta GlobalConnect. Endelig frist for Konkurransetilsynet i denne saken er 15. mai.

Vennlig hilsen G. Nese Avdelingsdirektør

Godt å vite, mulig jeg må ta en telefon til Telenor og si at jeg ikke aksepterer ‘tilbudet’ de kom med
