@sysadmin1138 Can you rearrange my comments so the openID doesn't show up? I guess it doesn't really matter... should I be vaguely concerned about it?
it.toolbox.com/blogs/securitymonkey/…: "BTW, 91.2XX.XXX.XXX resolves to Zhirkov, Russia. Your system is sending data to Russia. Is this a desired result for you?"
@MikeyB pokes Doesn't look like Movable Type allows that kind of thing. Want me to delete it?
Though looking at certain other blogs (antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/2011/11/…) it seems OID providers that don't come stock (google, wordpress, livejournal) get a full URL.
I love how consultants wait until after their work sets off the pager to say, 'ignore this'. I guess it's too hard to be pro active about it, thus avoiding unnecessary page outs.
You would hate me. Pretty much anything I run with is being monitored, but is considered non-production. So I have a tendency to not taking advantage of things like "maintenance mode" or "acknowledging alarms".
By definition my office is non-operational, so anything run out of our office is ostensibly for internal use. I want to know if something's broken that I should fix, but if it's down it generally affects nobody else.
So does your monitoring system always page the same group of people, depending on their on-call rotation, or does is page the group most responsible for the alarm source?
It emails an email distro which contains the consultants responsible for client. Certain alerts are time sensitive, and lack of action on a ticket will hit the pager.
So then whoever is on the pager gets to clean up and call whomever is responsible for the client.
I wonder if I got my whoever and whomever right? I'd ask on English.SE, but they're bungholes over there. Probably tell me to Google it again.
Ah. Sucks to be you. We have our alerts being, primarily, shipped off to the group who would be most responsible for the software/server/device/pony/whatever. So if something of mine alarms, none of the sysadmins have to deal with the page. They just have to stare at it on the monitoring software's dashboard.
Because google is always the authoritative source of grammar.
@BillWeiss I don't know 3ware cards, but like you I'd suspect p0 died and p1 had an URE with the parity data. Looks like you get to finish the weekend on a date with your backup tapes :P
I wonder if some companies are pointing people here instead of providing tech support, to the point that people think that SO/SF/SU are the actual official tech support sites for their products, and that the people who answer questions here are staff.
Take http://serverfault.com/questions/332723/what-is-the-proper-time-delay-between-sending-emails-for-smtp-to-not-fail-on-win
That question - and in particular the asker's confusion as to why we'd not automatically understand them - makes a lot more sense if you imagine that the reason the asker doesn't specify the software they're using, et…
I have a dilemma. I want to have an end-to-end 10 Gigabit Ethernet network over SFP+, but my Dell servers have iDRAC6 which only works on 10/100BASE-T.
The closest thing I could find was the GLC-T transceiver but that only does 1000BASE-T and won't work with 100BASE-T from what I can tell.
How...
This guy's got the budget (supposedly) for end-to-end 10Gbps NICs everywhere as so wants his iDRAC ports at that speed - WHY????? - smells like bullshit to me
@BillWeiss I've had bad luck with 1TB Seagate's. The 7200.10 and 7200.11s have been the worst. Historically we had used then as scratch space and imaging drives for forensics work. I can't even begin to guess how many of those things had the warranty executed.
having said that, I've been spending a lot of my "Serverfault time" over there building up my rep, chipping in where I can, etc, to try and figure out how it works. Figure it might help to learn how to work with them instead of just raging at them when we have problems
Speaking of changes. Any particular reason why a post I've taken action on, using the reviewer interface, is still showing up on my list of things to review?
