@MarkHenderson Yeah, I think we're going to be rolling Unity out once I get back from my vacation. Not exactly unhappy about it, but not exactly thrilled.
perhaps a unity should be a measure of alcohol then
@MarkHenderson That's what I figured. FWIW, it really does work pretty well. I forgot I'd left it on the other day. I had been using it for a week or so without even realizing fusion was running.
Heh. Yes. And it's disgusting how frequently I hear people use "Interwebs" in a non-ironic fashion. Including a news reporter the other day. I think I died a little inside.
OK, so i bought VMWare Fusion almost 2 hours ago, and I still havent received my license key, and it's not on the VMWare Website, and it's nowhere to be found. Fucking vmware.
@Iain Oh, Iain is here. It must be almost home time for me!
@MichaelHampton Yeah, what a fucking surprise.
Now I'm going to have to jump through hoops to get my license. And I purchased it under my personal account, not my work one. Probably could have got someones attention with my work one.
I am about to launch something really big. I need to prepare my server and database.
I would like to group each set of 100, 000 users in separate user tables but I do not know how to associate one user trying to log in to the appropriate user table.
For instance, how would I know that user jay@...
I have a Rackmount server with ESXI 4 and on top I have 12 VMs with Centos 5.X.
I have 2 CPUs with 6 core each (total of 12) and 40GB of RAM.
all VMs are connected on one 1GE port.
I need to know if the server (hardware / software (ESXI) can hold up to 30,000 TCP connections?
Thanks!!

I am having a dedicated machine with
16 core CPU, 48 GB RAM.with 4 HDD(2 1TB and 2 3TB),One Gigabyte
ethernet card.
I wish to Virtualize these to 7 VMs,which includes 3 MYSQL and 1 NFS server.
To reduce Disk I/O i am planning to run VM in shared memory /dev/shm and Datas to NFS server.

This is probably a continuation of my previous (unanswered) question because the underlying cause is probably the same.
I have a Linux server with nginx and sshd running on it. It's on a shared 100mbit/s unmetered link. During "peak times" (basically, during the day in the US), sftp performance ...
Sometimes I get frustrated with my own lack of advancement in knowledge given my years of experience, not being where I should be...then I see questions on r/sysadmin that make me wonder "WTFH?!" It makes me feel slightly better.
@BartSilverstrim @ewwhite I just enjoy it :) Reddit is a good way to communicate, and there's a little more stuff relevant to what I do there than on SF.
DFS-R really shines when you need to get the same shit to a bunch of sites, like a folder with software for deployment or a standard install image, etc
it's the site I needed help with in LA... Got the VMWare environment running. Need to do file server, get RDS running, and start migrating users to Exchange.
Lenovo got us a pre-release patch to fix an issue with a network card's ROM and our WinPE 2.1 PXE booting. I was in direct contact with their engineer team. They did this for "free" (we bought a lot of X200/X201).
Our Dell desktops had the same nic, but their support pretty much told us "Use WinPE 3." and closed the ticket.
I have a large volume containing only an NFS share I'd like to split up. 500GB of it (three specific subdirectories) needs to be put into a new volume. I'd like to avoid writing this data again. Here's what I think would work, but a colleague thinks that it won't work:

@MDMarra On that subject. What do you think to the idea of using DFS-R as a cheap backup mechanism? (So there's replication, but no referral to the second server)
@MDMarra No, true. I'd run VSS on the live one for dumbness mitigation and take normal tape dumps from the slave. (the slave would also take dumps from other services).
But a 32-bit Win server with compatible hardware (basically anything modern) can address more than 4GB, but since it's a 32-bit kernel, no single application process can consume more than 2GB (or 3GB if it supports that /3GB boot switch)
So, basically, in a heavy multi-user environment, you'd probably be able to get away with 32 bit and more RAM if you had to, but in something like an Exchange instance or SQL Server where there's just one process eating all of the RAM, you really need x64
Plus, it's 2012, everything should be x64 anyway except for bandaids
@MDMarra @SmallClanger The app has to do some of it's own memory management, swapping pages. I only know of a few apps that have it. The page swap has a massive performance penalty, so there's no sense in doing it unless you're stuck on a PAE platform and really need more ram.
Actually, I think SQL 2005 (only certain editions too) is the only app I know of that does that.
Heh heh, this morning's ticket: "Can we get snowstorm rebooted I need to check a file" Snowstorm is their Power box. Yeah, we'll get right on that so you can… *puts on sunglasses*… check a file.
Gah... WTF with the rash of "I want FDE on my Remote server, and I want it to automatically unlock, but I don't want a hacker/thief to be able to automatically unlock it" <-- Seriously, did you even think about that for 2 seconds before posting?
@Chopper3 He's being an idiot. The app is running perfectly fine (probably) on the existing hardware, he's moving to new hardware, no apparent need to put things on different boxes.
