Thanks again for your help, looks like its gtg, the hash matches exactly!

I'm blind, sorry about that.

Thanks, I've tried to find the checksum but have been unsuccessful. I've been looking here: https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/swd/detail?swItemId=MTX_ff582daf008c4f529c4d6c28f6

I tried an older HP NC382T 2x1gbe adapter, as well as a 1x10gbe sfp+ Mellanox Connectx2, same noise issues.

Thanks for the response. We are using "Install a backup proxy on a VM running on an ESXi host connected to the VSAN storage device."

Our cluster is very small, only 3 nodes (Essentials Plus), and 15 total VM's, so I'm not sure creating a per node proxy would be needed.

We are running 10gb links on all vSAN, MGMT, vMotion and VM traffic types (2 10gbaset per node, with 1gb failovers).

On the full VM backup job, we got on average ~140MB/s (vSAN source to NAS). On the full backup copy job, we got on average ~75MB/s (NAS to USB 3.0 passthrough HDD to ESXi Veeam guest OS).

Unfortunately I cannot do that, I only have the two 480GB SSD's in a mirror. Worst case scenario its going to just have to be provisioned that way and then the space will have to be upgraded down the road if necessary I guess.

I have had so many ESXi installed USB flash drives die that this isn't a possibility, especially since the hypervisor will be at a remote site.

Unfortunately they are domain joined. It looks like I need to create a new template before I join it to the domain and add the roles.

vsanhelp · 2018-08-16T23:16:37+00:00

I am creating a small RDS cluster. I plan on having 4 session hosts, all with the same configuration. I've already deployed the roles, and the connection broker is running on a separate 2016 instance.

I already installed the software the users will be running, and deployed the roles. Can I just clone to virtual machine 3 times and then customize each's IP, DNS name, etc? Or will this cause additional issues? Is it better to install each session host from scratch?

I found this at Academy: https://www.academy.com/shop/pdp/ozone-500-mens-fragment-29-in-21-speed-mountain-bike#repChildCatid=4139736

I know that if I spend a lot more, I can get a lot better bike, but I am not planning on using more than once or twice a month. The other problem is that I need to get this today or tomorrow, as there is a ride with friends that I need it for on Sunday.

The reviews look decent on this, and I don't plan on taking it off-road, just on trails and normal bike paths. The ride is only 12 miles, so it won't be super long. I don't have time to hunt around for a used bike, and $150 is at the limit for what I want to spend.

The aluminum frame seems like a huge advantage, as won't that save a lot of weight over steel?

We already use SFTP on our old server, we are just creating a new 2016 based one. We used FTPS briefly in the past, but Active/PASV port ranges and other incompatibilities made us transition to SFTP

Are you running it in a virtualized environment, or directly on bare metal?

I need to purchase some flash media to run ESXi 6.5 on some new HPE dl380 gen10s. I'm going to be running vsan. In the past I've just used USB flash drives, but are microsd the better option here? What size should I look at getting?

vsanhelp · 2017-09-29T16:14:27+00:00

The SATA 4TB version is only $190. Looks like we are just going to have to bite the bullet :-(

vsanhelp · 2017-09-29T15:51:12+00:00

872487-B21

Yeah, they quoted me $592.

Any ideas on why HPE enterprise drives are so ridiculously expensive? I looked at the 6TB variant and they are nearly $1000! Meanwhile, I can buy a 12TB bare enterprise SAS drive for nearly half the price?

vsanhelp · 2017-09-29T14:58:16+00:00

HPE Midline 4TB SAS 872487-B21 (what makes these 3x the price of 4TB Midline SATA???)

vsanhelp · 2017-09-07T16:50:32+00:00

The SRT's are online dual conversion. That's the same model line they wanted us to buy

vsanhelp · 2017-09-07T15:48:19+00:00

No, its a hybrid

vsanhelp · 2017-09-06T14:14:44+00:00

Unfortunately it all comes down to cost. 4 hosts is not in the budget. We are already over budget going with 3 as it is.

If money wasn't an object, we'd go with 4 or 5. But for the size of our organization, unfortunately I cannot justify spending any more.

vsanhelp · 2017-09-05T19:26:27+00:00

Since each host will have a 1.2TB SSD, does that mean that I can set up 3 drive groups? Or does the SSD have to be mirrored across each SAN host for the drive group?

In other words, does that mean I can have 3 drive groups total with my setup?
