Running SQL Server on Synology

On May 6, 2022January 23, 2023 By John Morehouse

Synology has a wide range of capabilities but sometimes it still falls short. In a previous post, I mentioned moving existing virtual machines to my Synology DS920+.  The movement of the virtual machines required configuring the virtual machine locally on my laptop and then subsequently moving the “bundle” to the […]

Secure Travel

On March 4, 2022March 4, 2022 By John Morehouse

Update: This post was originally published on March 8th, 2019 and a lot of things have changed over the last 2-3 years.  Lots of things.  However, ironically, I’m headed off to SQL Bits again for their 2022 Conference and thought it’d be a good time to update this list of […]

Understanding Volumes vs Storage Pools

On February 18, 2022February 5, 2022 By John Morehouse

In hindsight, I should have done this differently. In a previous post I discussed how I carved up 18TB of storage into various storage pools.  Now that I have the two storage pools, I need to create volumes on top of those pools so that I can start to store […]

Moving VMWare Virtual Machines to Synology

On September 19, 2021January 5, 2022 By John Morehouse
Group of boxes taped together

One of the reasons that I enjoy having a Synology DS920+ around is that that I can use it to experiment with virtualization. In this experiment, I’m going to move a virtual machine that I configured through VMWare’s Fusion which is running on my Mac laptop. This is just a […]

For #JohnsDad

On August 17, 2021August 17, 2021 By John Morehouse

Last week, on Wednesday August 11, 2021 at approximately 3:45PM Eastern, my Father left this world.  Much too early.  Covid took my Father from me, my family, and his grandchildren.  He had some underlying issues, but Covid is what pushed him over the edge.   Covid put him on a ventilator […]

How I carved up 18TB of Storage

On August 13, 2021July 8, 2021 By John Morehouse

In a previous post I told you about how I got a Synology DS920+ on loan to play around with.  The device comes with 4 drive bays so there is a wide range of combinations that you can do in terms of drives. Since this is my first entrance into […]
