I was finally able to get this video put together and it is up on my YouTube channel and achubbard.com. There was a lot of work to put this together. The write up is over on achubbard.com as well. Link to all of this in my bio. #achsysadmin #ach_sysadmin #achubbard.com #achubbard #iscsi #synology #synologynas #vmware #vcenter #esxi #networking #homelab #itlab #sysadmin #systemadministrator #alexhubbard #ubiquiti #unifi #ubiqutiunifi #storage #storagenetwork #san #nas #vmhost

Finally getting to put the video together on my iSCSI Storage Network for my VMware cluster with my Synology RS1619xs+. This tutorial has taken a lot of work to put together. I will have a write up on my blog as well, achubbard.com, once it goes live. #synology #rs1619xs+ #vmware #vcenter #esxi #homelab #ubiquiti #ubiquitiunifi #iscsi #storage #achubbard #ach_sysadmin #homeservers #homenetwork #itlab

Laid out my storage network in Visio. This will be used in one of my next videos on how I have shared storage setup in my lab. I have a Synology DS1619xs+ as my "SAN" and it is presenting shared storage to my VMware Cluster. I'm leveraging 2x Ubiquiti Unifi 10Gb switches for the network portion. #vmware #synology #synologynas #vcenter #dell #dellservers #homelab #visiodiagrams #achsysadmin #ach_sysadmin #alexhubbard #achubbard #sysadmin #iscsi #storagenetwork #itlab #ubiquiti #ubiquitinetworks #ubiquitiunifi #unifi

Game changer. Can stop looking offscreen at my notes. Just picked up a @padcaster parrot teleprompter. Can’t wait to try it out in my #Fuji #xt4. #achsysadmin #sysadmin #homelab #itlab #servers #homenetwork #homeserverroom #dell #vmware #ubiquiti #unifi #achubbard

PSTools is a powerful suite of command line tools that can be leveraged by IT System Administrators. Today we are going to take a basic look at a few of these tools.

Finally got around to installing more memory and my 10gb NICs in both my VMware hosts. #achsysadmin #dell #dellr720 #dellr730 #vmware #systemadministrator #sysadmin #intel #esxi #vcenter

How do I get an internet connection in my lab? I've been asked this question many times as I've made my videos.

Got some parts in for my #dell servers and another @seagate 16tb exos for my @synology.official #1619xs+ build. 10gb storage network should be complete soon and then I can add it to my #vmware cluster. #achsysadmin #sysadmin #systemadmin #systemsadmin #synology #synologynas #dell #dellservers #homelab #homenetwork #itlab #10gig #10gigabit #seagate #exosx16

Well, I guess it’s time replace some old drives. Shocked I hadn’t lost one yet. This array in my desktop has been around quite a long time. Friendly reminder that raid is not a backup. #systemadministrator #raidisnotabackup #achsysadmin #sysadmin #systemadmin #desktop #raid5 #windows #h700 #dellperc #dell #seagate #raidarray
