aLTeReGo , support just closed my ticket and is going to have a pre-sales engineer reach out. I guess it's because I mentioned I was using the Eval HA license as described in this walkthrough :-( Maybe they will be able to help.

Woohoo. I've used this guide to get from 2008 to 2012, then to 2016 with a few SQL migrations too (now at 2017). However, I'd like to keep going and get to Windows Server 2019. When I run the installer from HA installer, It tells me Windows Server 2019 does not meet the system requirements for selected products. I think…

I missed the Feb 17th question for answering too quickly. I thought it said how many alerts have a 'storage' recommendation rather than 'sizing' recommendation. :-(

Also, that doesn't seem to be clearing the tables for me if I look in SSMS.... I have 0 records in HA_Pools in the DB, but I do have records in the table PoolMemberInterfacesInfo and HA_PoolMembers showing the names and IP of the old server. Should I just delete all entries in all those tables through SSMS? I did it while…

I tried the online installer for NPM, VMAN, and even the VMAN 8.4 RC on the future 2019 server, and they all give the same error. I was kinda thinking the issue is something about VMAN, because if I click the "download button below to download the previous versions of the product that supports this operating system", it's…

hmm, this has a few votes, but not much discussion. So I'll start a discussion. I didn't realize I would lose this feature when I converted from appliance to Orion. But my security department sped up the switchover because of the CVE-2009-3555 vulnerability in the appliance. Please get this feature in Orion soon. In…

Also, If I run the catalog JSON file in the same directory through a beautifier, their are oddities in the supported OS values for Orion 2018.4 HF1 platform "OsVersions": [ "Windows81", "Windows10", "WindowsServer2016", "Undetected" { "Id": "ORIONPLATFORM", "Type": "Component", "Name": "Orion Platform", "Description":…

hmm, I don't like today's question/answer. Don't want to say more while it's open, but maybe maria.bungau will show me some leniency.

Way to Go!

2019 BUMP

While not as full-feaured as having the fully integrated chargeback feature, serena​ gave me the idea to make a 'custom property' of department code. Unlike the old VMAN labels, these custom properties are accessible in SQL. Now I can easily have the VM counts and sums of CPU,RAM, and storage broken out across department…

Awesome! I love radio control vehicles, and have wanted to try this category. Perfect

I'm also thinking it might be VMAN, since the newest version, "8.3.1" isn't listed as compatible with 2019. But it's also not listed as compatible with any OS on the app/compatiblity matrix as far as that's concerned. Unless 8.3 means 8.3 with any service pack, but the other 8.x.x have been spelled out specifically, like…

For the mission shortcut, is the PerfStack Performance Analysis Dashboard just the blank screen for adding metrics? Would you like us to put a couple random things on it?

I have the Red X for Thursday too. Oh well, a Nintendo Switch would probably eat up too much of my time anyways.

lastly, wasn't sure if the weird text in the resolution details might provide any insight

Hold on. There is a Thwack Hammock? When will that be available for points purchase in the Thwack store? That would be an awesome item.

FYI, I was able to do this as a custom SQL alert, but not put the volume letter, by polling every 10 minutes with the following query join VIM_VirtualMachineVolumes v ON v.VirtualMachineID = VirtualMachinesView.VirtualMachineID where (cast(v.FreeSpace as float)/cast(v.Capacity as float)) <= .05

I don't see the printable bracket attachment, just the two word .docs with the rules.

I followed this procedure and migrated from 2008 to 2012. Now I'm trying it again, to migrate from 2012 to 2016, I get an error when trying to set up the HA Pool. "An item with the same key has already been added". "exceptionMessage": "An item with the same key has already been added.", "exceptionType":…

Sorry to use this thread as my personal blog, but I thought maybe the feedback would be helpful, and also since the support team doesn't appear to support this awesome easy button method. The Feb 2019 Offline hotfix bundle installer says all my products are already up to date as far as hotfixes (I think the IPAM 4.8.1 HF 1…

Also, this page should be taken down if the appliance is deprecated, since it just taunts me whenever I google VMAN and chargeback, thinking maybe I was just doing something wrong when I couldn't find it anymore- Virtualization Chargeback Software | SolarWinds

In making that particular screenshot, I might have chosen the wrong option. I went through the wizard so many times, I started hurrying through. Anyhow, I finally got it migrated. After I manually tried editing the JSON file on the source box, Solar Winds got kinda wonky even after I put the original JSON file back. So I…

I fixed my problem myself. There were two copies of one of the servers in the OrionServers table. One in lowercase, one in uppercase. I backed up the database, deleted the record in lowercase and ran the config wizard on both servers. The error went away. I was then able to create the pool with the 2016 server, and fail…

lindsey.serrano​ Was the Mission Shortcut winner announced? Let me know if you need my mailing address :-)

Any more thoughts on my issue? It seems like if I try to do a fresh install on the 2019 box, it pulls down a good copy of the json catalog, but if I try to do a migrate from 2016 to 2019, it pulls the catalog.json from the 2016 box which doesn't indicate 2019 compatibility in the JSON file. I tried replacing the…

If you have more than one drive, you will have problems with the out of the box alert. It is percent free across all volumes. So if c: is 100% full, but d: is only 50% full, it won't trigger. I created a custom alert and put the idea for voting to have an OOB alert like the old appliance VMAN did here -

serena​ I discovered from support that the Out-of-Box alert in version 8 no longer monitors at the per-volume level, only total freespace across all volumes divided total capacity across all volumes. I found that the the per-volume information was tracked, but just not the percent free space. I was able to make the…

lukas.vondruska​ Did you see my question? I didn't want to start a new thread since it was pretty similar to this topic and the thread was pretty new.
