@jscott that seems to require a os X host.. which means I'd have to buy an iMac or mac mini.. my plan is to get the apple TV, which is might cheaper :)
I might have asked this before...since shopping questions are taboo...anyone have recommendations on hosted corporate video that can actually be locked down? Youtube and vimeo seem to be out. Need the ability to require a login to the site first. I really don't feel like building up my own either.
@ewwhite Alright, they're serious. Not quite a sure thing, as they're also considering Dell, largely because of the fucking we're taking on our HP pricing, but we're using our current supplier because "that's a good price for everything that we get in one of those servers."
Ubuntu 12.04 64bit - under a KVM parent.
32 cores.
So we seem to be having some load issues.
We have noticed this line in kern.log: "kernel: sched: RT throttling activated"
What does this mean?
Is the KVM parent throttling the host?
This is on a single parent - single child KVM parent/host.
@TheCleaner Well, wait, pixels on the run is just a video hosting platform. I don't know of a hosted system that will do the access control for you. Or maybe pixels on the run does now... I dunno.
@pauska Nope, you get the benefits of bare metal snapshots, migration, and the other abstraction concepts that virtualization introduces, and the nearly-full-power of the physical host.
hey @pauska - your link to the video equipment reminded me of a company I almost went to work for that makes some really cool stuff! www (dot) tacticalelectronics [dot] com/ (didn't want their link posted here in case I do someday...lol)
@pauska Well, no, I doubt they're buying a second machine, but they get all the potential benefits of the virtualization platform which include but are not limited to live migration.
@Patrick It's a concept that's old, but been repackaged into modern terms. It means that operators also know development and also includes continuous integration of live applications pushed from development systems. Look up "the three ways"
@voretaq7 Right. But that's really what it is in the vast majority of places these days, which accounts for why there's so much suck associated with it.
@Patrick Oh, another good person to read up on that might be considered "devops" and read some of their works is Theo Schlossnagle of OmntiTI. Also Ben Rockwood who works at Joyent and has his blog "CuddleTech"
The main "problem" with the concept of DevOps is that System Administrator's #1 priority is the usability of the system they maintain. This is why we kick "high availability" and "redundancy" around a lot. The #1 priority of a Developer is to create new functionality. These aren't the same.... so one person can't do both completely... You will find people who say that these aren't intrinsically disparate. This is true in an ideal world. Let me know when you find that ideal world, I want to move there.
It's just that the term "DevOps" is bastardized to now mean any Ruby developer that also has to deploy servers, so they use puppet for all the things and think they're the bomb.
Instructions to become a DevOp: 1. Drink case of RedBull 2. Read Wikipedia page on Puppet. 3. MANIFESTPACKAGEPOTATOGEMDEPLOY 4. Get a Linode instance or three. 5. Side-scaling Facebook App! 6. Bought by Google. 7. Private island.
My boss is on vacation and I'm supposed to have this installation script done by the time he returns. Unfortunately, I've realized that the script I developed won't work on the target server setup and I don't know enough about it to know how to figure it out.
The server is running SQL Server 200...
@voretaq7 Exercise is marginally preferable to the no standards approach, trust me. Among other reasons, you're less likely to catch herpes from jogging.
And speaking of jogging, herpes, and other fates worse than death, anyone ever seen this with BES?

Ok this is a serious issue I have with agile processes
"The process does not care about the tool."
What the fuck? since when? In a platonic ideal of agile of course there's no such thing as a "tool" but we live out here with rally and JIRA and Zendesk because we're not perfect
@Cole Windows records what driver it needs to use on the boot device and BSOD 0x7B if it changes. You can lobotomize the registry however and Windows will search for a driver when it doesn't find one... Official MS directions to lobotomize
@pauska True, but I'm 6'2 and 190lbs, while I could stand to lose about 5lbs I don't think lack of exercise is the reason I'm having trouble attracting a mate
(now if there were something I could do to repel the ones I don't want...)
@voretaq7 I don't think he is really asking how to write the script. I suspect his database, and web servers are in different firewall zones, and he doesn't have access from one to the other. So trying to write a script is difficult/impossible.
I have locked both my administrator accounts out on my Windows Server 2008 R2 that has Raid. I tried the following-
"Insert the original Windows Server 2008 installation DVD
Reset the computer, boot from DVD
Choose option “Repair your computer”
Start command prompt
C:\
CD C:\Windows\System...
I thought the local admin account never got locked out permanently? Can't he just reboot to safe mode and get in and then reset his "personal" admin account?
@TheCleaner If the guy keeps locking out the default administrator account, what are the odds he actually knows the password, or has another admin account set up on that server, you think?
@MichaelHampton - true, but at least with magnetic drives there is a chance. Seems that SSD drives are not so. This is for a friend's personal computer. We use RAID/backups here.
the cost of the LTO drive, media, and storage space can't be justified when a DVD holds more than enough data for the archive and I can fit 20 of them on a shelf.
@JoelESalas If I could make them immutable (absent obvious damage/tampering) I'd consider that too - drives are cheap.
we've also thought about switching to flash or CF cards and tamper-sealing the containers.
I've got HP LTO2, Quantum DLT, and two AIT drives at home... I only use the DLT drive right now. Found the LTO2 drive at the recycler for $20 and couldn't let that go.
@ChrisS Oh, heck no. Hate that place. Unfortunately we'll be flying in there, but then taking a ~90min van south to Akumal, which should hopefully be much quieter and generally less drunk and nasty than CUN.
@Tanveer Express Edition fits the bill so far. I'm thinking you don't have much experience with SQL. You should probably start with Express and if you run into a specific limitation reevaluate your strategy at that time.
The Data Transfer Wizard is a one-time deal, run from a management computer usually. If you need the DB itself to pull/push data to another system then you'd be looking at SSIS.
I'm still going to stick with my recommendation of installing Express (along with SSMS) and playing with it until you run into specific limitations. It's free and should be a relatively easy way to tell what the base services are capable of.
@ewwhite Talked to the bosses and they were all about getting a cheaper price on that HP server. There's a meeting set up with a Dell rep on Monday (mainly because of price, I believe), but other than that, if you can quote out that stupid build for what you thought, they'll go with you over our current supplier on the next order of those towers.
nope; I don't AWS at all... We get Azure instances free/discounted. Mix that with an industry that doesn't like "cloud" and we're pretty exclusively in-house
Infact i am working in a Govt org. and they have to raise fund for buying the sql server, if i missed this chance then i have to wait alot for complete process
@Tanveer You really should find a reseller that you can discuss the project with... You probably can't mention enough detail on a public forum like this to get a good idea of what you need.
Problem: Our server becomes very very slow (near freezing) if I copy a file from any directory on C: and D: to any other directory. In short It becomes very slow if I touch the hard disk.

I have a problem with my company's LAN and/or DB Server configuration. For periods of time like 5 - 10 mins I cannot connect to certain DB servers. This happens a couple of times a day ( like 2 - 3 times ). It's pretty disruptive to my work and I tried to get the IT department to fix it. But I ha...
Sadly - this question is off-topic. You're not in the IT department, so anything we tell you to try/test/change, you can't do and aren't in a position to fix. If the IT department is not responding well to you, first make sure that you're presenting a repeatable test case - get your ducks in a row. Then, if they're still not responsive, get your boss to talk to their boss - it's called escalation. — mfinni1 min ago
I would schedule for evenings or after hours. Employers understand this and in my field, they're usually willing to make evenings available for phone screens.
I always tell people to avoid using mobile phones, but if there's no other option, take the call offsite in a quiet area. I've gone as f...
@ewwhite I see it, outstanding. I'll hit you up in a few hours - heading home, then workout, then food, then I'll circle back to this. I'm gonna take another whack at the let's-go-with-a-sane-server-build discussion on my way out too, so hopefully the build specs will even improve a bit before I shoot them off to you.
So vCenter Server and vCenter Orchestrator are considered part of the vSphere 5 suite, but vCenter AppSpeed isn't. Dangit VMware, and I thought Microsoft's product naming and grouping was confusing.
Geez, I swear iPhone chargers are an enigma. We have a dozen iDevices in this office, but I can only find 2 chargers. It's the same story at home, we have 3 iPhones, 2 iPads and 3 classic iPods but do you thnik I can find more than one charger?
@WesleyDavid Eh i struggled through it in the end and got there, but I hated vSphere that day
