New Server – VPS

Aside September 25, 2012 Mike Leave a comment

Today, I moved the blog to my new VPS. I decided last week to take the plunge – a hard decision as I have never owned (rented?) a VPS before and I wasn’t really sure what to get. It came down to price for me; to get the best ‘value’ for my money. Looking at the $12-20 per year market, on average, gave around 128MB RAM (256 burstable), ~10-20GB disk space, and 10-100MB metered connections. Continue reading New Server – VPS →

Aside October 2, 2012 Mike Leave a comment

This is a potential failover solution that allows for relative ease of WAN failover using manual switching (upon WAN1 failure, entire network must be connected to WAN2 router) with the potential for automatic failover using round-robin DNS or cron to edit DNS entries.

VHD Management

Aside March 28, 2013 Mike Leave a comment

The following is a primer on managing virtual hard drives using Hyper-V manager. Virtual hard disk files are stored as either .vhd or .vhdx files which use .avhd and .avhdx differencing disks respectively for snapshots. Both formats support either fixed size or dynamically expanding. The .vhdx format is new as of Server 2012 and provides some improvements over the previous .vhd format including increased storage capacity.

For a list of changes in the VHDX format, see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh831446.aspx

All examples are performed using Hyper-V 3.0 on Windows Server 2012 (minimum version required).

How to write images using SUSE ImageWriter in Windows

Aside September 28, 2012 Mike 4 Comments

This is probably the easiest way to write RAW/ISO images to a USB Flash Drive for creating live USB or installation drives – at least on Linux.

The GUI version of the software is quite handy for Windows users – with some caveats.

In Windows, however you may run into a few problems. First off, the ISO format is not supported in the Windows version. You need to be using RAW format. If you are lucky, simply renaming the ISO to .raw format might work. Continue reading How to write images using SUSE ImageWriter in Windows →
