This should make a server less susceptible to needing restarts. So, when random bits do get flipped, the ECC finds this and corrects it. I suppose, servers are probably hardened to noise and radiation more so than typical consumer devices, and they have ECC memory which to my uneducated mind is like the RAID version of RAM. This is why unhardened devices, such as a smart phone or PC, need to be restarted every so often, to clear the accumulated errors from background radiation. Basically, if you run a computer long enough, eventually a high energy particle from background radiation will change a 1 to a 0 or vice versa somewhere in your computer. This architect would be a good used car salesman, but I love facts and common sense.Ĭosmic rays and radioactive decay cause bit flip in RAM. That system is now in Azure IaaS and the decommission is scheduled for early November. When SQL server starts, it recreates tempdb, so it's a great way for a DBA to see when an instance was last started. When I finally got a word in, I mentioned that their company has 70ish% of their SQL Servers with a tempdb create date of over a year ago.
He mentioned "technical debt" many times and how an unproven patching promise from MS is a huge risk. He spent 44 minutes taking about how it's not proven out how MS would suppprt this VM for another year, and how patching would work. That gets us another year of support from MS. My quick win was to suggest forklifting the VM over to Azure IaaS.

The SQL server is 2012 and we can't find anyone who would give it a blessing to upgrade (SQL 2012 turned EOL in August) This app is old and no longer supported, the vendor was bought and the product basically died.
We were wanting to "vmotion" a SQL server hosting an application database that will be retired by the end of this calendar year. I recently had a 45 minute meeting with a jack bag of an architect from a company we purchased back in the day. The company really, really wanted to let these customers go, as they were minuscule ones (for on-prem hosting, most newer ones were yyyuuuge companies), and was trying to poke most of them to move over to virtual managed hosting for even more cash and relieving them of the hardware headache of the barf breakfast variety of machines that were in there. To put it bluntly, these was “cash cow” hosting, as the company had these machines in their oldest dacacentre room which was in absolutely shit-tier condition and on the verge of being decommissioned, yet was still charging a fair amount.

Most had extremely ancient versions of Linux or Windows, including more than a few Windows NT 4.0 units running IIS. Yes, these were Pentium-III machines still running in the datacentre, back in 2015. Worst was when I was working in a datacentre which still had “old clientele” who had provided their own machines way back in the 90s and early 2000s. r/HomeNetworking - Simpler networking advice. r/pfsense - for all things pfsense ('nix firewall) Might be able to find things useful for a lab. r/hardwareswap - Used hardware, swap hardware.
