@ewwhite OK, thanks for the insight. I'm just wondering why they were so adamant about it. Most people dont' run DB engines on a VM on an NFS datastore though (I hope)
@JoelESalas I prefer NFS storage since you can SEE the files. iSCSI seems to be bleh... It can be better for MPIO purposes and because there are VAAI extensions readily available.
@JoelESalas It requires VIP addresses and multiple subnets. The VIP addresses all point to the same datastore. So it's not good for bandwidth, but provides multiple paths...
DL380 G7 with internal disks, an SSD, a RAID controller, a SAS controller, ZFS PCI passthrough to a nexenta VM serving NFS to itself to hold compressed VMDK's for the produce software.
And the problem with using your Enterprise CA is that non-domain devices won't trust the CA that signed the UCC cert? Sorry for the n00b question, I don't have Exchange.
@Zoredache I think it was only if you also had a public name that was legit on it as well. I don't think anyone ever issued a straight something.local with no SANs that were valid public addresses
@ewwhite There's been all kinds of articles on it lately
Plus, it won't take a ton of effort either way to do this domain right. I mean, if it's an extra hour or two to make sure that you don't have to redo it all in a couple years, isn't that worth it?
@jscott It's funny, because I don't know much about how to use Exchange other than making mail contacts and new mailboxes. But, I do know a whole lot about recommended setup and architecture for it
@Zoredache Good to know, I've not used Android/Other tablets enough to know how painful it would be. I do seem to recall having to futz with our BlackBerry phones and Notes certs, but that was many years ago and we don't have any BB clients left.
The Exchange guy at La Salle was a whiz at exchange but sucked at networking and design. So I designed the whole email infrastructure there and he managed it
@jscott Oh, I mean I legit did the high level stuff. Server spec. What was in the DMZ what wasn't. Roles, cert requirements, etc. He did all of the install
I don't even think I've ever done a whole install outside of the microsoft hyper-v labs
Fuck, someone's printer in the building melted (literally, melted) and set off all the fire alarms. 20 minutes for the firemen to turn up, then they let everyone back in except our floor (cos it was on our floor). This is the 2nd time in 3 months that the office in 307 have had this happen
If you don't need management boundaries and you have connectivity, use the same AD DNS name for all of them. Have them in one domain. Give each site unique IP schemes. Use AD Sites & Services
If you do need management boundaries (like different domain admins at different sites that can't tread on each other) then you need child domains and thats where those subdomains come in
@ewwhite The VM's one of our client gives are are named comany005 (SQL),company006 (TS),company007 (IIS), which is maddenningly frustrating, and another client gives us names like WD47837CD32 (SQL Server), WD84989375HF74 (IIS SErver)
@Cole Sore. The bruising and swelling it still there, but fading. More bored than anything. I'm actually looking forward to returning to work next week. How are you healing?
@jscott Dr checked me out today, looking great. My drain holes arent leaking/bleeding - my nipples are bleeding a little, as expected but stitch tape is starting to come up which is good - next week I can just peel it off
@MarkHenderson Ha! Just looked at that... Yeah, mine was a bit worse. Made the trip south (or would that be North for you?) and tucked into the scrotum as well.
