Is there a freeware tool that can monitor brocade switches ports? Some of my devices are dhcp on different vlans. I need to have a log or alert when any of the port/device goes down.

How to get Edge, chrome and firefox bookmarks from defective laptop? Is it possible to extract it from the SSD w/out booting the Windows 10 since the laptop is defective?

The SAN is actually connected to powered OFF server via SAS cable. Can i use the SAN only like usual NAS via IP then folder mapping? Or i need to power up the server it was connected and share from there?

I wasn't able to find the server that using the SAN but i was able to find the SAN's IP and was able to login. Its using the default password. How to browse the data or files?

Hi Gurus,

We have SAN connected to our network but no one seems to know any details about it. How to access SAN? How to get its IP address? or is there other means to connect to HP SAN P2000 to gain access to its data or to the device so we can re-purpose if possible.

thank you all.

Just want to confirm, so up to now Vsphere has no means of backing up the VM's live? I read that i can actually copy it when its powered off. or i maybe wrong. If not then Veeam, Altaro and Unitrends are my options. I will use the cost effective and easy to deploy solution.

You didn't mention how much data you're backing up, but Unitrends is free for up to 1TB. Full product, including scheduling, only limitation is 1TB of data.

around 900 GB for the 3 critical servers.

@brianlittlejohn said in Heavy Duty Staple for UTP cable:

It is more about the staple then the gun... they make staples for cable that have a bend in them so it doesn't pinch the cable.

do you have an amazon link for curve staple? this seems much easier than carrying a hammer and nail clips.

I need to install UTP cable and secure it with below heavy duty staple. The cable will go around the door frame and on the wood wall. Is this the correct staple gun to use and what are my alternatives?

Altaro Standard Edition can backup 5 VMs per host for $515 or get the Unlimited Edition for $625

Free ESXi or paid ESXi?

Paid, also updated original post.

How to backup VMWare VMs (Paid ESXI)? I have limited budget, is it possible to manually backup the VMs to a Synology NAS then copy via network. Whats my other alternative? Hoping to survive this year, then next year I'll Capex for proper VMware backup solution.

Thank you very much to all. Camera view is better now, we clean and remove spider webs on the camera.
