Hello everyone, I am taking a little different approach with this post. Instead of putting the script directly into the body of the post I decided to give GitHub a try. Link below. As with anything, this script came from a business need. We had an application and that application needed to be available in […]
“vSphere Cluster Services (vCLS) is a new feature in vSphere 7.0 Update 1. This feature ensures cluster services such as vSphere DRS and vSphere HA are all available to maintain the resources and health of the workloads running in the clusters independent of the vCenter Server instance availability. In vSphere 7.0 Update 1, VMware has […]
Note: Article written based on SonicWALL Gen 6 running firmware 6.5.4.7 This post comes directly from the field, hopefully it will save someone some time. I manage about 30 SonicWALL devices and have spent the last year or so converting from traditional site to site VPNs to tunnel interfaces with OSPF. This gives us the […]
It’s really an unfortunate experience when you find a product that you love, standardize on it, and then witness the company drive it into the ground. This appears to be exactly the case with Ubiquiti and their Unifi Wireless Access Points over the past year or so. Spend just a few minutes on their forums […]

This write up is specific to 2.4.5_1 which is proabbly not advisable to run long term. I plan on writing a Quagga to FRR migration guide, will create a new […]

Hello, I haven’t posted for quite some time with work and life getting a little nuts, but I just finished a fun project that I thought I should share while still fresh. I manage about 30 branch office sites with SonicWall firewalls and we do not run GMS for a variety of reasons. As a […]
I am finally getting around to digging into our datacenter environment and looking at capacity planning.. I wanted to know how many “logical” processors were in the environment compared to how many virtual CPUs I have allocated. I found the base of this script just searching around the internet and modified the math to multiply […]
Hello, I thought I would share this experience as it took me a bit by surprise and I ended up having to call Microsoft support. I am not stranger to P2V migrations or restoring servers from backup, but this one had me just stumped. Basically I was in the position of having to restore a […]
