Edmund White endorsed you for:
Bind

ewwhite

@MichaelHampton you probably don't know anything about Bind.

Ry Jones

@MichaelHampton I think that's an insult

Dennis Kaarsemaker

@MichaelHampton I wanted to endorse him for porn, but linkedin didn't let me :(

Joel E Salas

@MichaelHampton better than Twerking

Michael Hampton

@ewwhite Actually I know a few things about bind.

I certainly don't know anything about twerking.

ewwhite

23:02

@MichaelHampton you should learn.

Michael Hampton

Is there some Red Hat documentation on it?

ewwhite

@MichaelHampton Likely not. Ubuntu has some, though.

Michael Hampton

@ewwhite Yeah, in that case, I think I'll pass.

freiheit

@MichaelHampton If you search enough, you can probably find a twerking documentary that includes somebody wearing a red hat...

ewwhite

@freiheit Indeed, i did...

Q: Was the "Worst Twerk Fail EVER - Girl Catches Fire!" video staged?

Caitlin Heller posted a video on Youtube titled "Worst Twerk Fail EVER - Girl Catches Fire!". There have been many articles about it, e.g. Telegraph; NY Daily News; AJC. Was it staged? I watched it over 10 times in a row nonstop, and I'm still not sure. It may be real because Glass table bro...

Now I know something about twerking...

inb4 ed posts link to uk twerking championships

Joel E Salas

Ed is our twerking SME

If there was a certification he'd be the one who signed the certificate

ewwhite

actually, I just had an ESXi host fail.

gulp...

tombull89

was it a Dell? we had a Dell ESXi host fail on us last week

freiheit

23:09

@ewwhite Had that happen a couple weeks ago, here. It's part of why I hate Dell.

ewwhite

HP DL360p Gen8

I finally found where @MichaelHampton works

freiheit

23:17

@ewwhite Got enough capacity on esx[23] to handle everything? Did everything just migrate and come back up, or is this creating immediate work?

@PatoSáinz Every sysadmin's workplace should have a martini or pint glass as the logo on the map. ;)

ewwhite

tombull89

@PatoSáinz you have the toolbar at the top?

Anonymous

@tombull89 the taskbar? yes

ewwhite

And there's plenty of failover capacity. HA restarted the VMs

Anonymous

I love it that way

Anonymous

23:19

@ewwhite oh god my eyes, at lest microsoft got it right by using blue

Anonymous

@tombull89 you don't?

ewwhite

Not enough resources to failover this virtual
machine. vSphere HA will retry when resources
become available.

MSSQL

And that's why you disable admission control

Michael Hampton

@ewwhite Driver bug or hardware fault?

freiheit

@PatoSáinz It's the fuschia screen of death. You want a color that makes your eyes die, right?

tombull89

@PatoSáinz nope, bottom, use small icons and never combine.

Anonymous

23:20

@tombull89 what do you mean by combine?

ewwhite

Hmmm, client added a lot of new virtual machines since I looked last.

thus HA is fucked up

tombull89

combine: res1.windows.microsoft.com/resbox/en/windows%207/main/…

never combine: res1.windows.microsoft.com/resbox/en/windows%207/main/…

ewwhite

so VMware admission control messed me up

freiheit

@ewwhite Sounds like the control needed to be on with n+1/failover enforcement for VM creation...

ewwhite

@freiheit well, the N+1 was based around a certain number of VMs... client went nutty adding things.

freiheit

23:28

@ewwhite I don't recall what the setting is called, but our vSphere environments get all whiny if you try to add VMs/RAM past the N+1 HA limits... (really easy to just dismiss the dialog, though)

ewwhite

@freiheit it's really poorly configured... the HA features of VMware are documented well, but misunderstood by most.

Anonymous

@tombull89 you do that because it's quicker?

tombull89

for me, it's quicker, yes. rarther than mouse to icon, wait for list of items to open, find the one you want and then click on it it's just one click

Anonymous

@tombull89 Combination really comes handy when you've got a thounsand terminal windows/tabs

tombull89

to be honest, I never have that much open.

outlook, helpdesk, browser, remote desktop session and vsphere client. Maybe Explorer or a cmd as well.

let's play botnet bingo!

Anonymous

Zoredache

@PatoSáinz how are they defining botnet.

Anonymous

@Zoredache Things you have installed and/or use and Richard Stallman Wouldn't approve of

Michael Hampton

@PatoSáinz It says I use 0 botnets. Nothing is marked.

Zoredache

23:47

@PatoSáinz That Stallman wouldn't approve of? Good lord, I might as well just live in a cave.

@MichaelHampton you have to click the things you use.

Michael Hampton

Um, OK... so it's yet another devops project with no documentation, eh?

ewwhite

Okay. Fixed the vSphere cluster.

Zoredache

@MichaelHampton they gave you the source code. It is self-documenting.

ewwhite

MegaCli is the least usable command line utility ever devised. — ewwhite 9 mins ago

Michael Hampton

@ewwhite That's how you know it's enterprise.

ewwhite

23:52

Hmm... I'm in a @MichaelHampton situation.

All the rep points... except the 5 I need to round out the day

Ry Jones

have an upboat

Michael Hampton

Hey, I got a grand total of 40 rep today.

ewwhite

@MichaelHampton work harder!

Michael Hampton

@ewwhite I am... just not on SF.

Ry Jones

ok I gave you two upboats which is like 10 karma

ewwhite

23:57

haha

thank you

as I dig myself out of VMware crashland

Ry Jones

your ssd answer will actually be useful in an argument I'll be having next week, and the user deletion issue is on that I could have used a while ago

so it's not like I'm Skeeting rep all over the place

ewwhite

@RyJones what's the SSD argument?

Ry Jones

we're trying to make the argument to move our new vmware cluster over to ssds, at least paritally

the counter argument seems to be "but they suck and go bad a lot"
