Acronis Storage Gateway: how to replace a node for the Backup Service

Acronis Storage Gateway is the HCI solution from Acronis. The solution, which is provided to partners, allows to build a cluster of storage and computing nodes that can become both the target for the Acronis CyberProtect service, that is an on-premise storage solution for backups, but also an hyper-converged solution that allows to deploy a wide range of storage and computing services, including virtual machines.

In this post we will describe how to perform a typical maintenance operation for the Backup Storage service, that is the removal of a node from the cluster. It happens, as in our case, when you want to decommission a node that you’re going to replace either [...]

Windows Server 2022: RDP error 0x11 and Users group

We have been fighting for months with a weird behaviour where Windows Server 2022 all of sudden was becoming no more accessible via RDP after a while. That was happening only on some VMs, not all of them.

The symptom was simple: you were trying to connect to a Windows Server 2022 server hosted in a VM, the RDP connection screen was showing to you the classic certificate warning and when you decide to go on server was logging you in for a very short time then the connection crashed. We were able to login via Hyper-V console but RDP was no-go. Nothing was working while the fact you were correctly logging in was proved by the fact that another session started from Hyper-V [...]

How to clear Powershell history (done right!)

You might find youserlf in a situation where you need to clear Powershell command history. For example, for us it was needed because we needed to prepare templates for virtual machines deployment and we needed to activate a specific software before finalizing the template.

Unfortunately you need to type a command to enter the code and activate the software and those templates could be used by our customers that might be able to retrieve the correct code by simply striking arrow-up. If you look for a solution you will find that Powershell has a specific command to do that:

Clear-History

However, you might find that this won’t solve your problem. Some [...]

Windows Server 2022 and Azure Stack HCI: Microsoft is slowly attempting to murder Windows Server – part 1

Microsoft released Windows Server 2022 a few weeks ago. It did so earlier than expected, which is pretty odd, but it seems that the development of new features was already complete and mature so there was no point to wait a few months more. The last sentence pretty much explains the current status of Windows Server: so few changes, albeit interesting ones, that the product can be released months earlier than planned and without much fanfare.

While generally speaking the development of new features and functionalities for server applications mostly moved out of the base operating system and while we can also concede that Windows Server has many features at the OS level so [...]

Acronis agent not registered, Windows Server core and SSL issues

We had previously identified what happened to those two boxes but that explanation is out of scope. This post is about how you can quickly recover form that situation.

A few days ago we had a weird issue on a couple of servers after upgrading Acronis agent. Console was unable to start any backup plan, either automatically or manually, complaining that the agent was not registered anymore. That looked weird since we had updated our agents many times in the past but this time, somehow, agents unregistered or were unable to re-register.

Actually, this round of updates had caused issues on a couple of Linux servers too but those had been quickly fixed by rebooting those [...]
