ESXI 6.7 wont remount drive after power outage. I have tried 30 different CLI tutorials claiming to have a fix for this. It appears this has been an issue since Esxi 4.0. I am surprised that VMware has never released a tool to fix this. Drive works fine, DiskInternals VMFS Recovery had no...

Successfully installed OVA on ESXI 6.7u3, added pci card LSI 2008 and got this memory warning after boot. The only thing I've done other than the PCI card was to make a password. Napp-it Virtual Machine Memory Usage Critical

I have no experience with zfs. I read through all the Napp-it website and the new onepager. I am still unsure of the best way to go about this. The pool/vdev is confusing to me. I have been using ESXi since 5.0 with just each drive a vmfs datastore. At one point I did have Veem or another...

I was looking for some light reading today...the whole page is still unlinked. Did the plan get scrapped? https://www.servethehome.com/buyers-guides/top-picks-windows-server-2016-essentials-hardware/

Assembling my new octocore dual cpu home lab... I have this breakout cable (Supermicro CBL 0097L-03). Where do I plug in the P4 and what is its purpose? It looks like it could plug into the pins next to the white SAS/SATA on the motherboard (pic attached/linked), but its wired next to the...

My first home lab server was a supermicro x10slh-f-0, xeon e3-1245 v3 with 16 gbs of ddr3 1600m pc3-12800 ecc. I tried on two separate occasions to buy approved 32gb ram kits published by supermicro for the mobo and both times the ram did not allow more than 16gb. I have had 48 gb pc3-12800 ecc...

I am in the market for a KVM switch for 2 pc's at my desk. I bought something off Amazon and it came with display ports instead of HDMI. I can't use it on the older pc. Needs to be HDMI or VGA. I found only one $46 display port female adapter, which is absurd. It seems that 90% of kvm's being...

Anyone been able to resolved the connection issues? 5.5, once every couple months vsphere client wouldnt connect. I usually would connect using the web client and then vpshere would connect immediately. Since upgrading to 6.0u2, vsphere worked for the first month and then it started working 50%...

I am on Esxi 6.0 u2. Using web client for your OVA of napp-it_2016.4. I am using web client because vsphere client doesnt work with 6.0 for some reason. When I try to edit settings I get this: "Unhandled Exeption (1) Unfortunately, we hit an error that we weren't expecting. The client may...

I am trying to learn about iSCSI and using it with my NAS. I made a post in the VMware forum here iSCSI Lun I would appreciate anyone who has experience with iSCSI. Thanks

iSCSI LUN first timer here! I am running EXSi 6.0 u2, mainly hosts a Windows Server. I have an Asustor NAS running a plex and backups for my server. The NAS is setup as two raid 5's at 7tb each (6 drives). It can't handle the transcoding of larger 1080p videos with AAC audio. I was thinking...

On ESXI 6.0 u2, running Windows Server 2003 (virtual conversion) and when I backup to my Asustor NAS, I am only getting 10 mb/s instead of 100 mb/s. Both server and nas are gigabit, in fact NAS is dual gigabit with load balancing and assigned though switch. I haven't assigned the server to dual...

I was going to build a NAS, but then I saw this for sale the other day for about 10% off Amazon pricing, the other day. Reviews were good, basically its a Synology with a cheaper web UI, built by Asus. The things I liked were the dual gigabit, usb 3.0, eSata, HDMI (not that I would every need...

A little background: I am an accountant who bought out a firm a couple years ago. They had an old file server (RAID 5), which ran fine. It was getting low on space (we all know how well windows does when it gets low). I bought replacement drives that were 2X larger...but couldn't get the server...

Server Memory that works on Supermicro boards! I've had this on my watchlist for over 1 year. It finally dropped. My last 32gb Ram didn't work (over 16gb) on my Supermicro Board/Esxi Server (It changed suppliers mid-year and screwed a lot of us, luckily for me my Lenovo ThinkServer likes it). I...

Ok, I have read many times that it is recommended to separate the domain controller services from the main server...can anyone tell me why? What are the pro's and con's? On Esxi, running VM of server 2003, currently 1 server for everything (domain, file).
