Thought I'd try my dhcp on server 2022 core.. fairly easy and working well.. Will hang onto my Linux dhcp box just in case which was fine as well tbh..

Scrub the above.. back to Linux dhcp box🙄

Updated my ESXi boxes and vcsa to latest firmwares..and also the Aruba Instant Internet access points.. all nice n easy

Moved my ESXi hosts onto hp elitedesk 800 g5s. also got the intel amt Remote Desktop working on them as well with mesh commander giving me access without the hassle of connecting up a screen when I need console access..

Directly connected one of my hosts to the shared storage @ 10gb.. storage vmotioned it from local storage and it was flying... got another card arriving tomorrow to setup the other host... it's a pity 10gb port switches are so expensive...
