    Is Microsoft running away from developing new features for on premise software. Microsoft has now 100% gone cloud first :(

    MS has been Azure/Entra/O365 first for a few years now. Outside of a few edge cases, products are developed for the cloud and then features that make sense are brought into the on-prem product. On-prem management products like SCCM are still there and do the heavy lifting for many orgs even...

    Error verifying the cluster networks

    With multiple nodes and the NDIS adapters, manually assign the 169.254.0.x/24 IP addresses on the various NDIS adapters to be unique within a given cluster. This will take care of the duplicate IP issues. If adapters are being used for remote SAN storage with multiple vlans, you will see some...

    [SCAM] Lot of 80pcs Lenovo P4610 6.4TB U.2 SSDPE2KE064T8L

    I like one of their other ones better: 8pcs Micron 7450 PRO 15.36TB 2.5 U.3 PCIe 4.0 - 8pcs Micron 7450 PRO 15.36TB 2.5 U.3 PCIe 4.0 NVMe Solid State Drive SSD New | eBay Considering everything else they've been selling, i'm guessing the account got compromised.

    TrueNAS general purpose write-caching

    Thanks for the roasting. IXSystems like all businesses are looking to make money, if it makes financial sense they could. There is no fork to ZFS needed to support it. The functionality is there already with regular linux distros, it's really a question of if they want to take advantage of...

    HBA passthrough

    Aware it's an edge case issue. In a business setting I wouldn't be running it but in test labs, that's another story. For some, to get the M$ adoption at a business...it starts with home labs.

    Migrate from TrueNAS Core to XigmaNAS?

    Any specific reason? Early versions of Scale were a rough around the edges but more recent builds have been very stable from what i've seen.

    HBA passthrough

    Tested on Server 2025 as well but to answer the question, no it's not possible. Hyper-V can handle GPU, individual hard disk pass through, and network adapters but not storage controllers. An old but length write-up on the process can be found at: Passing through devices to Hyper-V VMs by...

    HBA passthrough

    Testing out the Hyper-V role within Server 2022 in the lab, with it I've got a pair of storage spaces mirrored SSDs for VM storage but I'm looking to pass-through a SAS2008 device to a VM and hitting a wall. --------------------------------------------------------------------- $pnpdevs =...

    Enterprise SSD/HDD price increases :-(

    For as old as they are, i'm finding very little reason to move off E5-2600 v4 gear at home.

    Hyper-V cost

    See if you can get your employer to cover MSDN/VisualStudio Online licensing, then it's effectively free.

    LSI RAID Controllers - PCIe2-6Gbps / Windows Server 2022

    The 2012 driver should be compatible with Server 2022. https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-in/drivers/driversdetails?driverid=chmkh I'm running a lower in 9211-8i under Server 2022 right now, though I'm not trying to boot off of it.

    Inspur-branded LSI9300-8i for $50

    Anyone notice any functional differences between these and either lsi/dell branded variants?

    Quick hardware question

    All depends on the workload. For TrueNAS the hardware is overkill on the cpu side and possibly the ram depending on how much space or active space you need. Ram will get used as ARC space (read cache) before L2Arc comes into play. If you have lots of ram, adding L2Arc may not be of any help...

    ESXi free 8.0 seems to be the last one (now free again)!

    Migrating to a mix of Server 2022 with Hyper-V and Proxmox for at home. At work we are looking at Server 2022 with Hyper-V (2025 rebuilds this coming winter), most of the hosts are already licensed for datacenter and all the third party integrations are already there. Veeam integrations are the...
