Q: "Core Charge" on defective server HDDs

I have collected a pretty decent amount of SAS and SCSI disks over the years that have a predictive failure warning. I was just about to throw them all out, but wondered if any of the manufacturers offer a buy back program or maybe a credit toward the purchase of new hardware. Surely there are so...

Jacob

@ewwhite It's not a battery...

ewwhite

Yet most of the disks I use are refurbished.

(yes customers, I'm selling you refurbished HP gear!!)

Jacob

@ewwhite It's not like they'd buy new...

ewwhite

I prefer HP refurb

Same warranty.

I get less DOA stuff.

Mark Henderson

@ewwhite You're not the first, but do you really care? (NSFW)

ewwhite

12:39 AM

On a plane... can't open that.

people will look at me weird

Mark Henderson

@ewwhite Only if you have a blanket on your lap that starts vibrating

ewwhite

I've seen someone give head on a plane

that was... precious

Flying to Antigua from Miami.

Mark Henderson

@ewwhite wow

ewwhite

first class, too

Mark Henderson

Sometimes I wonder if I'm missing out

I'll never get head in first class on an airplane

ewwhite

12:47 AM

Yeah, you're missing out.

@MichaelHampton So how would you distribute your software to your RHEL 6.2 and 6.5 servers? :)

Journeyman Geek

@MarkHenderson pre owed?

Michael Hampton

@ewwhite I wouldn't be holding back any machines on 6.2, that's how. The vendor can go fuck themselves.

Mark Henderson

@JourneymanGeek Well its fake

There was a real BMW one, but I liked the fake Aston one better

ewwhite

@MichaelHampton Yeah, I couldn't imagine that. But the OP is going down the wrong path, right?

Michael Hampton

Primrose path

The primrose path refers to a life of ease and pleasure, or to a course of action that seems easy and appropriate but can actually end in calamity. == In popular culture == An early appearance of the phrase in print occurs in Shakespeare's 1602 play Hamlet (Act I, Scene III), where Ophelia, rebuffing her brother Laertes' insistence that she resist Hamlet's advances, warns Laertes against hypocrisy: Do not, as some ungracious pastors do, Show me the steep and thorny way to heaven, Whiles, like a puff'd and reckless libertine, Himself the primrose path of dalliance treads And recks not his own rede...

@MichaelHampton funny, since I wrote, "you don't find people still running RHEL 6.2"

It's windows, so two interfaces cannot be in the same subnet. It simply won't allow it. — Ricky Beam 3 hours ago

That's wrong. Isn't it?

You can totally have two network interfaces in the same subnet

ewwhite

No Time

Can anyone direct me (or tell me what to search for) to information regarding deploying a new network in a mixed OS environment? (i.e. Common tools/services which can be used seamlessly and aren't OS dependent)

I am not having luck finding what I am looking for

ewwhite

a new network?

No Time

Like a full infrastructure basically

I know how the network will be comprised (physically), but I need some help figuring out how to implement services, and maintain it correctly

ewwhite

that's pretty broad

You kinda either know how to do it or you don't.

No Time

1:12 AM

I can put it in a question.

Mark Henderson

@NoTime It will be closed, as the main site doesn't do "shopping" or research-based questions

What you need to do is start with the services that the company wants to have

And work your way from there

No Time

I will be implementing it

Starting new business

ewwhite

@NoTime or maybe help us understand what you are unsure about?

Mark Henderson

Is it going to be 100% Windows workstaitons with 100% Linux servers?

No Time

@ewwhite I want to be able to do cross os services, I only really have experience with MS Server

Mark Henderson

1:15 AM

Or a mix of linux and windows on workstaitons? etc

No Time

The server will be Linux supporting 2 OSX, and 3 'Windows 7' computers

ewwhite

@NoTime I build new environments all the time... partially why it's hard to say, "oh, here's how you do it"

I prefer Linux on the server, but Windows where it makes sense...

so Active Directory - YES

Exchange mail - YES

Windows DHCP/DNS - YES

No Time

I want to implement VPN, a SAN, and poissibly VOIP

ewwhite

you can tie Linux servers into Active Directory

No Time

OK, so better to have a MS Server

ewwhite

1:16 AM

Storage is a whole world of choices...

No Time

For AD

ewwhite

Will you have virtualization?

No Time

I can get VMWare I am sure.

Right now there is no huge price point. But I won't need an overblown server, and a bunch of stuff. I will be doing all the cabling myself, and setting everything up

ewwhite

are you up to the task?

No Time

I just haven't run a Linux Server before, or had a cross OS network, aside from onesies and twosies which someone else did

I have done lots of cabling, and networks from boxes through sattellites

but everything was MS

ewwhite

1:18 AM

not to sound mean, but I'm a consultant, and I spend so much time cleaning up environments, that it's hard to understand how people can gain this experience if they don't already have it.

DOn't be thrown off by Linux.

or Mac, for that matter

you can link the Mac to AD as well

No Time

I understand that it is going to be a lot of work. Maybe I should forgo having a Linux server? I wanted to reduce price of software in exchange for support

ewwhite

Hmm...

the business and needs should dictate what you do at the server level.

if you don't need Linux, don't use it.

No Time

Main thing is SAN (not OS dependent), able to access network from outside (not OS dependent), web/webmail already taken care of.

So really I guess I should stick to what I know... unfortunately.. I don't like MS as much anymore

I could always virtualize something on the server

Honestly @ewwhite just having this conversation helped.. I couldn't get through the thought process on my own. Thanks

ewwhite

yeah, I dunno.

I mean, I stick to certain things.

I like Active Directory and Exchange a lot.

I'm a Linux engineer, though...

Storage has too many options...

server hardware options are pretty varied... but I prefer HP

Michael Hampton

And I'm happy to dump MS wherever I can get away with it.

ewwhite

1:24 AM

Cisco ASA 5505 for the small firewalls and VPN capabilities.

APC batteries.

APC racks

HP ProCurve switches

and I use @MichaelHampton to do my hard work.

No Time

I had the ASA 5505 on shopping list. I was going system76, but HP would be ok for server. APC of course :)

ewwhite

in the US?

No Time

I am yeah

ewwhite

(I sell HP at unbeatable prices shill)

No Time

Heh. Not for a little while. I just have to build the network in my head before the business proposal

That's why it's kinda hard I needed to bounce it off someone I guess

You have a site?

ewwhite

1:28 AM

ServerFault usually isn't the place... but if you went to Spiceworks, you'd get all sorts of opinions in how to do this.

@NoTime no, I'm a consultant and offer HP to my customers... but can link you to my vendor.

No Time

Ok

Journeyman Geek

shit. I am being super unproductive today

Jacob

@JourneymanGeek That's OK. I was too.

No Time

@ewwhite Not sure where you want to link it

ewwhite

no, not send a website.. connection. It's old school... we do business over the phone :)

anywho, my flight is landing. Signing off.

Mark Henderson

4:39 AM

@Jacob I've been too busy to chat lately

Too much work, not enough time to do it all in

Jacob

@MarkHenderson Oh yeah?

Mark Henderson

Believe it or not I do actually work most days

But lately it's been crazy

Jacob

@MarkHenderson It happens

That's the problem falcon has.

Mark Henderson

I've been doing a full 10 hours in the office, then another 2-3 hours at home lately

Jacob

He's been too busy working on redacted

Mark Henderson

4:41 AM

And I now have $160/month in Azure credits. You can't do a whole lot with that, but you can a few tiny VMs

Jacob

@MarkHenderson for work or for fun?

Mark Henderson

I consolidated all our seperate Ubiquiti uniFi controllers into a single controller on Azure so I can configure them all from one location

@Jacob Well I got it as our work now has BizSpark which includes MSDN which include $160/month in credit for Azure. But we have no desire to run anything on there business-wise so I basically have it for myself

I might throw a few DCs up there. Can probably get a few of them in there for free.

But the VPN back to the sites is $30/month/endpoint

Jacob

@MarkHenderson you have ~5 employees? Why do you have several APs?

Mark Henderson

@Jacob We have a lot of clients and we do a lot of stuff for a lot of people

I also put my home ones up there

And yes I am totally flooding my immediate neighbours with my WiFi (but I turned off SSID broadcast on the outside AP, so they won't even know it)

Jacob

@MarkHenderson Did you scan or is that an estimate?

Mark Henderson

4:48 AM

@Jacob Its an estimate calculated by the controller software, based on the known properties of the APs

Its pretty accurate though. By the time I go to the purple bit, I can connect but nothing actually works

As I get into the orange part, it works but is a bit slow

I could get the AP about another 100cm higher, but I couldn't reach to the top of the pole that was there and I'm not brave enough to take stepladder actually onto the roof itself

For some reason my house has a gigantic 300Mhz antenna mounted on a huge pole, so I just re-used that mounting, but couldn't reach the top of it safely

Must go exercise...

s/brave/stupid/

DOOM!

@Jacob I started Couch 2 5K again the other week. This will be my third time too

First time, I finished it and was doing 5k's three times a week. Then it got cold.
Second time, I got to week 7, then had a baby, and cbf'd

It's a bit like quitting smoking. Each time you do it you get better at it.

@FalconMomot why bad entries in it or the questions are truly bad?

I see that the overall queueueue length is increasing so it seems like more and more people who can are choosing not to review and new people can't because of low rep and inability to gain rep because of paucity of voting

Q: What is logcheck, and why is it consuming 100% CPU out of the blue?

I have a server that's hardly used, basically a fresh linode VPS with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. It has been running for 14 months with hardly a blip in the CPU graphs (2% max, average over 2 hours). Suddenly, the past 2 hours have been at 100%. The culprit is an egrep running by the user logcheck. Most...

@DennisNolte why - it is good advice for the $clueless

Dennis Nolte

looking nice, still both shit.

@Iain it is not like they will listen.

Iain

::shrugs::

Dennis Nolte

i was going to answer the "simple router" stuff, but figured out first: way too much work for someone who takes 16 hours reading what? examples, manuals? nothing of that sort?..

ah fuck that, lets get some work done, this is depressing

Iain

@DennisNolte anyone who tries to follow a guide, fails, and comes here for support should be sent right back to the guides author. That that OP tried two different guides and still failed suggests you should just walk away and die a little inside

Falcon Momot

7:49 AM

People need to publish less unofficial step-by-step guides.

MichelZ

@Iain you should definitely not die inside because someone else is too inexperienced (or dumb) to read a guide...

Dennis Nolte

@Iain actually a lot of guides assume you know enough about the topic that you do not need the guide anymore..

Falcon Momot

they encourage people to ignore the docs and ignore the theory.

then they come here "I followed all the magic incantations, why does my thing not work as I imagined?"

Journeyman Geek

@FalconMomot: meh, I think thats a user problem

Falcon Momot

@JourneymanGeek who else are those guides for?

Dennis Nolte

7:50 AM

@JourneymanGeek its all of our problem, just see the bot net servers everywhere..

Journeyman Geek

@FalconMomot: I benefit from them by stopping to understand what I'm doing

but they're a good starting point when learning something new

Dennis Nolte

thats why the victims of the hacks should be punished aswell.. you have a wordpress install somewhere and know nothing how to update or keep the server save? ye thats a large fine you have to pay.

Falcon Momot

@JourneymanGeek if maybe they were less about the steps and more about what was going on maybe I could support that

Journeyman Geek

@FalconMomot: or maybe make people type shit out instead of copypasting them

Falcon Momot

less so with "here is how you forward a port in iptables" without mention of things like first dispositive match.

@DennisNolte my company is in the business of making that happen sometimes...

not quite like that I suppose

Dennis Kaarsemaker

Very little experience with that. I never did whole servers myself, and work needs are obviously way different :)

hetzner seems popular though

Iain

this will apparently be a backup system for one that's already in hetzner so they're out

MichelZ

1&1 is popular too I guess

never used them tough

Dennis Kaarsemaker

9:14 AM

I'd avoid 1&1

all I hear about them is the humongous amount of spam coming from servers hosted there

even if it's not their fault, their IP reputation is utterly shot.

I have physical servers at Hetzner and VPS at hosteurope

much more problems with Hetzner than HE

Falcon Momot

hmm, it's really hard to find a recent source showing in any detail that java is unsuitable as a computer science teaching language

Dennis Nolte

@faker i can second hosteurope, while you should be certain you do not want to upgrade your server afterwards, pretty expensive but never had "real" issues with them for the last ~8 years (private + company)

@faker Hetzner: same shit as strato or server4you.. how the hell did united internet get so big?.. Sadly i did not invest read money in their stock ~5 years ago..

Nick

@Iain you mean dedicated servers? hmm no idea then

Jenny D

IIRC husband and I have got four VPSes with them now - one for mail, Usenet and primary DNS, one secondary DNS, and one each for our own web and development stuff.

We've had no problems at all with them, and we've used them for a couple of years at least. Plus they offer FreeBSD in addition to Linux. Me like.

@Iain colo, managed or something in between?

Iain

@MathiasR.Jessen unmanaged bare metal sort of thing

Mathias R. Jessen

@Iain Hetzner is huge and alright on price, but the customer experience is... shall we say "varying"

Iain

@MathiasR.Jessen yes I have heard and seen on the front page stories about hetzner. This is apparently a server to act as a backup for one already in a hetzner DC so it needs to be with someone else

Mathias R. Jessen

@Iain I've had pretty good experiences with Bahnhof in sweden, but only virtual servers. All reliable providers I know of here in Denmark are pretty pricey

Iain

how pricey ?

Mathias R. Jessen

10:44 AM

3-4x Hetzner

Iain

perhaps more pricey than will be acceptable

Jenny D

@MathiasR.Jessen I've heard bad things about their abuse response

Iain

@MathiasR.Jessen and I think the customer experience is a lot to do with $cluelessness

Jenny D

@MathiasR.Jessen Bahnhof are not only good, they're Good. They spend a lot of energy working to keep an open internet and generally oppose helping the NSA spy on us.

Mathias R. Jessen

@JennyD Well, having had WikiLeaks and the bay hosted @ Pionen says it all ;)

Jenny D

10:50 AM

@MathiasR.Jessen I've a friend who was sysadmin at an other big company that was hosted @ Bahnhof. He happened to be in the datacenter when the police raided the Bay... he only narrowly managed to keep his company's stuff out of the raid. They weren't being very careful to only take the TPB servers.

Mathias R. Jessen

@JennyD Not surprising. Another example of massive $cluelessness

tombull89

I have 1and1 for domain and web hosting - I've been with them for just over 8 years. Never had any isues.

I've also recently got a dedicated through SoYouStart (sister company to OVH) and they're okay. I did look at Hetzner as well - some of their auction servers are quite good (well, the price of the servers drop until they're all gone).

@MathiasR.Jessen Bahnhof have the awesome datacenter that looks like a Bond Villian Lair.

Mathias R. Jessen

@tombull89 Yup, Pionen, built into solid granite rock. I actually have a voucher from Bahnhof for a free tour through it should I ever come to Stockholm :D
