This is a Dell Perc 5/i hardware array controller. Let it do its thing. If you don't have red or amber lights on the disks, why are you concerned with running your own S.M.A.R.T. tests?
The array controller uses S.M.A.R.T. in addition to other features/test to determine drive health. Running you...
In response to @MichaelHampton I just saw that this morning
I have a situation where I need to send my user name to server where I can authenticate the user with the application and provide access. It is kind of SSO.
Please let me know how if there is any secure way I can achieve this.
Thanks a lot in Advance.

@PeterGrace it's all new age twaddle anyway, the 21st is the end of the 13th Bak'tun and 13 had no relevance to the Myans - to Myan's the 20th Bak'tun would be significant.
@tombull89 Do you remember all that software that was distributed on every magazine CD for about 3 years that would "check" your computer for Y2K compliance
@Dan not really, the only things I remember about 1999/2000 was a trip to the millenium dome and going over my dad's friends house to bash saucepan lids together when the clock rolled over.
LISA was pretty exceptionally late in the year this time, being only a couple of weeks before Christmas. The inevitable let-down of coming back to the "real world" where I've got to "work" and "do productive things" is always kind of a drag, but this year is a little different thanks to the proximity of [...]
I have been doing a lot of research on vSwitch configurations, but I think I am more confused now after all of the reading that I have done. So here is my situation 3 ESX Hosts (12 nics each), 1 iSCSI SAN, 2 Force 10 switches. Should I create individual vSwitches for MGMT, vMotion, VM, and SCSI...
We have a small office network with DSL and a Netgear WNR-2000 wireless routern acting a DHCP server. There are nine devices connected to the router, wirelessly and wired. Whenever a Mac computer tries to connect, it's unsuccessful until we restart the router. Each of the possible devices that ca...
@Dan Yeah, well, that requires a full height blade with 3 mez cards.... I think half of the thought process there was putting FC and/or IB cards in the mez slots
on the newer models is the system able to abstract the individual blades out and present an overall "compute node" or do they still function, for the most part, as normal boxes?
@BrentPabst There are significant technical reasons why the former is not yet possible... well, it's possible, but performance would be horrid, checkout the Mach Kernel from CMU for lots-o-info.
@tombull89 If/when they solve those problems computing would take a turn for the "cloud" very quickly... There'd be no point in most end user devices having more than minimal processing or storage capability as they could quickly access resources from "provider" sources.
There was an answer on Jeopardy last night that was something like "In the 1960s, these big computers were multi-user terminals. Now, they're called servers" and the answer was "Mainfamres"
I yelled BULLSHIT at my tv so loud that the woman came in to make sure I was ok
@ChrisS I guess nothing more needed than an inbuilt 2GB SSD with a RemoteFX client installed - start the machine up, make sure the internet is connected, log onto a remote session, cloud desktop, job done.
@tombull89 Not really; that's presentation abstraction (or presentation virtualization if you subscribe to that terminology). There's absolute distinction of what is running "here" and "there". What I'm describing allows processes to roam from one node to another, or allows a node to barrow resources from another. Resources connected to the data fabric essentially form one large cluster of resources, managed and used by various supervisor processes.
Be sure to double check issues on the DHCP communication.
You can paste here the negotiation using tool like Wireshark (http://www.wireshark.org/download.html).
You can check if another DHCP server is present on the network.
Troubleshoot starting from router and firewall logs.
Did someone here point out a website where you can subscribe to update notifications for various software vendors; like Adobe (Flash & Reader), Oracle Java, etc (VLC and a few others would be nice)??
I'd rather just get a daily "new updates" summary e-mail. I'm very distrustful of 3rd parties supplying software that we'll be running on production workstations.
@Goatmale It always did that; but the management interfaces covered it up pretty well. I know I've commented on it before but Hyper-V 1 and 2 were copiously laden with C-Level terminology and skeuomorphs.
I don't get it. Originally I was just trying to get a serial device to work on a VM but everything kept saying it was impossible. Now you're telling me it's possible?
We have recently been hit by a weird virus which made all files and folders a system files/folders and also it hid all files and folders par some weird ones it created including:

porn.exe
secret.exe
password.exe
etc
We have managed to restore the files with attrib command to unhide and ...
I'd be nice if someone wrote a Com Port to Named Pipe utility that ran as a service. Then you could point the Hyper-V VM's Com Port to the Remote Named Pipe and get connectivity without installing special software on the VM, and it'd be able to migrate without issues.
@ewwhite Depends if you want to be able to talk to the rest of the world or not. VMware says a minimum of two, one of which will be a management NIC, but you can get away with one.

@Goatmale Yes, well in 1997 I created a website to keep track of student contact information for my high school. It was almost identical to how FB started, with obvious differences thereafter.
What are the link layer protocols for cellular networks?
There are several platforms for high speed cellular networks. From GSM, to GPRS, W-CDMA, HSPA, LTE, etc. I (mostly) know about the physical details of radio transmission from what I studied at grad school (BPSK, QPSK, MIMO, Fading, etc.), ...
If you're asking questions about working on the telecommunications network, especially the mobile network, then certainly it's within the scope of Server Fault.
However, the problem is that it's a somewhat specialized industry and for some questions there may not be anyone here who can answer. S...
A question that mentions cpanel is not de-facto off-topic.
It is possible an otherwise competent admin inherited a cpanel disaster and now has to make it work.
HOWEVER - If you are limiting yourself to just "what can be done from within cpanel" you're no longer a sysadmin in my view - you're an ...
(why oh why did I protect them? I should have just pushed them into the volcano...)
I'm doing work right now for a telecomm provider whose security people can be a little… overzealous. Shredding disks from decommissioned servers? That's pretty standard. They shred RAM.
Could someone explain to me why my solution here serverfault.com/a/459109/61246 worked? To my understanding, the defined group policies are contradicting each other. Yet, it works
I created the computer-level one a week ago and linked it to a few test OUs. It simply didn't work. I added the user-level one additionally today and it worked like a charm minutes later
Any way, got to go, but its my mission to educate people that nobody has been able to demonstrate data recovery from a modern mechanical HDD after a single pass of zeroes
Incidentally, there IS something in the DDM about RAM (NVRAM):
1. Overwrite media by using agency approved and validated overwriting technologies/methods/tools. 2. Each overwrite must reside in memory for a period longer than the data resided. 3. Remove all power to include battery power
In this Computer World article, it specifies that PostgreSQL can scale up to a core limit of 64. Does this mean for one multi-core processor of 64 cores? Or multiple processors with fewer cores?
The reason why I ask is because I am trying to find how much processors PostgreSQL may scale up to b...
@voretaq7 This is a very generalised thing to say, but 90% of DB problems can be fixed by analysing the DB and making minor changes - but throwing hardware at a problem is a nice gear to be able to change to if needed
@Chopper3 it's very generalized because it's true :-)
In my experience throwing hardware at the problem just doesn't make it any worse (unless we're talking going from 7.5K disks to 15K disks or SSDs - then you may notice a bump no matter how shitty your DB is)
I was talking to someone at work the other day about a performance problem we were seeing before I stopped working - I'd ordered some new blades but it turns out the problem was fixed with a locking issue change
@Chopper3 I've done that. My favorite was at my first job I improved performance in our product (enterprise infrastructure/namespace management software) by about 500% by adding ONE. INDEX.
I have bugbear about unnecessary joins, less of an issue in large-memory or fully-memory-mapped systems but I've seen some absolute CRIMES committed in that area. The thing we always come across when dealing with anyone but the very largest software companies (i.e. MS, Oracle etc.) is that they say they scale but they never do, not to what we need, never
If you have an RHEL subscription, call Red Hat and get some bloody value out of it. If you don't, then stop trying to use RHEL and just install CentOS. Fuck.
@Zoredache so the support engineer can say "Well Golly Gee Mr. Bill! I shure wish you had called us before you implemented this clusterfuck so we couldda helped you not fuck up your whole dang environment!"
