This post also signifies the 7th post of the #VDM30in30 challenge that I am attempting and I am now at the stage where I have the ideas and titles in my head but its now about putting it down on paper and getting constructive useful posts out on the site for all to consume.
In capturing this information I have used the trustworthy source of Veeam ONE to capture and report on and I have used screen captures from these reports. Where relevant and where I have not yet implemented for example my fourth physical host this will follow suit with all other host configuration.
Host Configuration
Each host is configured in very much the same way, this is not because of DRS or HA as this is not really a use case because of the differences in hardware and lack of shared storage in the most part.

Physical Build
I wanted to start here by sharing the rack that I have situated in my home office. I managed to pick this up really really cheap around 2-3 years back. It gives me 22U for all home lab equipment, when I purchased it was sound proofed but over time this just has not withstood the movement and I won’t be including it in the write up.
I have also purchased a mounted power strip and this is mounted on the back of the rack towards the bottom.
Any feedback or advice please reach out to me @MichaelCade1 / @vZillaUK
