I have a question, we have a Hyper-V host (Windows Server 2016) that hosts several virtual machines. The host is well utilized (CPU) at peak times, I'm just wondering one thing, the CPU load of the host never exceeds 75% CPU utilization. Now I wonder if this value is somehow limited by a rule?

I know that the host always needs computing power itself and that you shouldn't overbook it, that just aroused my curiosity and I would like to know that. I'm not talking about the vCPU limitation of each virtual machine.

Maybe someone can answer this question.]]>

I'm testing a scenario and reaching my limits somewhere. I am currently playing with a VM with two virtual hard disks of 35GB each. Here I installed Windows Server 2019 Standard. I have set up a mirror for hard disk C via the disk management. The system automatically converted both disks into dynamic disks. If I now remove the main hard disk during operation (boot partition), the system first runs as usual and then reboots. Here I didn't manage to get the system up and running again with the Windows Server installation ISO. What do you have to do to run Software Raid 1 to get the system up and running again after a crash? Is it possible to create a recovery boot image etc.?

I know that raid with a raid card is the more reasonable choice, but I would like to do that with the software raid and hope someone can help me here.

Many thanks in advance!]]>

I have a Hyper-V server at home with about 21 VMs including a web server. My problem is that I don't have a fixed IP at home. My question is, can you get a fixed IP address through a VPN tunnel at home via my Windows server in the data center and forward the web server traffic or other services arriving in the data center to the VMs in the home network? If so, could someone explain to me in more detail how this could work?
My setup: 

  1. Fritzbox 7490 via fiber optic into the Internet 1GB Down 500Mbit Upload
  2. Hyper-V Server directly connected to Fritzbox 7490 via Lan and gets its IPs for the VMs from there.
Fritzbox 7390 is still lying around here, if necessary I can use it to build a tunnel in RZ.

Many thanks in advance!]]>

it is sometimes desperate and apparently there is no one in the world who has even one meaningful piece of advice.

For some weeks now we have been fighting on our managed servers at Strato with a high CPU load and load. But not from now on, it's gradually building up over days and weeks.

Strato's support refers to faulty scripts, but can't tell me how to find them either. Data protection reasons. Now I'm hoping to find the culprit here.

On the webspace only a Wordpress installation and a few plugins are running, but even switching them off and switching to the standard WP template doesn't help. 

I have access to the Access Log, Error Log, and the SSH console with some commands like Top. Also, the Kill All command doesn't help there, CPU immediately goes up again.

How exactly do you proceed to find the error? I am grateful for any advice!]]>

Compared to RAID-1, RAID-5 has the advantage that more usable net storage space is created from the physical gross storage space of the disks.

Some time ago someone told me, however, that it is much easier to recover data from a defective RAID-1 due to the complete redundancy (i.e. in much the same way as from a hard disk without RAID) than from a RAID-5, where the data is distributed over three hard disks. I am thinking in particular of cases where the whole RAID system is broken. E.g. in case of a water damage it happens regularly that the RAID controller first writes randomly confused stuff on the disks, until it (finally) chews completely.

Is it true that it is easier to recover data from a DEFECT RAID-1 array than from a DEFECT RAID-5 array?]]>

Thinclient with AMD Sempron 2100+ (1GHz) as software RAID5 via MDADM in TinyCore Linux?

Is that enough for pure data storage? I don't need more than about 50MB/s. 4 disks a 2TB are used.

Who has experience with CPU requirements for software RAID?


I know that this is definitely not a fast solution, but is it even possible to "use" something like this?


I can't test how it works at the moment - it will take 1-2 weeks until I have the time. Therefore a short feedback would be very much appreciated.]]>

I'm new in the forum. Now I wanted to learn some server technology for professional reasons. I bought a used HP ProLiant ML350 G6 and am about to equip it.

So far I have installed six SAS disks in three logical drives (RAID 5 for the system disks).

The device has 64 GByte memory and two Xeon X5670. I installed OpenSuse Leap 42.3 and wanted to configure Xen virtualization.

I wanted to install a Quadro FX1800, but the ProLiant is bitching with it. It doesn't boot with this card anymore. Does anyone have experience with other graphics cards in a ProLiant?

I have a very old firmware in the Array Controller P410i. Does anyone have any experience with the upgrade ? Is that safe ? I didn't want to lose my logical drives.

I also noticed that I can't download a new BIOS. HPE wants a support contract. Strange]]>
