on the bright side they purged all the halon and got "safe" FM-200 after that
@Jacob Long story involving an old datacenter and an older CEO with a love for fine cigars and no respect for the words "Sir, you really can't smoke that in here"
@Jacob He mea-culpa'd bigtime. Apparently he'd done it before and just whatever path he walked he didn't manage to offend two smoke sensors at once before that
also there was a night iSeries guy there who smoked at the ops desk (that ended after this incident too :-)
@Jacob it's also better than the last place I worked where the HVAC contractor tried to fix a cold water leak on a running aircon by brazing it closed (yeah, that worked well). Same genius contractors tried the same thing on a Freon line (that worked out even better with the hospital trips for everyone who was in the room and having to seal the datacenter until the EPA could clear it)
basically the 'playing around' stuff, malformed messages, had splunk PS guys in today doing all their regex rule stuff to fix it all, don't need the old ones
I have two tables. Table A is brand new and relatively normalized. Table B is old and completely breaks all levels of normalization.
I'm creating a brand new system using table A, but table B is still in heavy use by our entire staff until the new system is up and running at which time we'll mak...
that's a StackOverflow question, and the answer is "Don't DO that - write your new system, populate and test it, then write a script to sync it to the old system once & move on"
but you're tied, you have 4 CPUs, the minimum memory loadout is 16 DIMMs, so it's either 16 x 1GB, 16 x 2GB, 32 x 1GB or 32 x 2GB - memory is SO damn cheap, or is your supplier raping you on this?
So, there're a bunch of questions on SF about the uses and how anycast IPs are cool. My approach is something more practical. What specifically I need to have to use one of those addresses?
Do I need to be an AS (Autonomous System)?
If I want to use an Anycast IP on my internal network, is it p...
@coredump, as far as I understand, you just use the a standard IP or Subnet on whatever network you like. Then you adjust routing tables to use the closest version.
