Another Update Windows Music Server

I’m still running on my backup server for music stream relays and I need to update the Windows 2019 Datacenter OS with security updates.

I stepped away from doing the updates of the Fedora Linux relay servers for a few hours since its running so good on the backup system. The relay music server I took from Fedora 34 to Fedora 35 and now I’m taking it to the latest Fedora version, Fedora 38. The update system of Fedora Linux has turned out to be very reliable the last several years.

I have a backup Windows Music server but the system reboots quickly enough I just prefer to wait for the main music server to come back up. That takes less time after simple OS security updates than to sync the second server and start where I left off.

So about 15 minutes from this post time and date I will be rebooting the music server and the stream will be down for 5-10 minutes. The music relay server will be running still on the backup Linux Fedora 38 server with no music.

Updating the Blade Chassis Environment Systems Going Down

Since I need to try and restore my configuration on my new Virtual Connect modules in my HPE C7000 Blade Chassis I need to power down and apply the configurations. Hopefully the backed up configuration from my VC-Enet 10/10 modules takes to the new modules VC-Enet 10/24 modules. Should the configuration not do what I like I may end up rebuilding my entire networking environment on the blade chassis end. This may affect drivers in the various OS’s on my blade servers as well, we shall see how long this process will be!

I did this backup so I would not have to workaround viewing the Virtual Connect environment in web browsers that no longer support flash. I could have done workarounds to having standalone flash stations in my environment or did all cli but decided I didn’t want to take away my flexibility to administer the environment from different systems. Better to make the changes now than later!
