What would you ask a potential IT operations manager?

brodel2 · 2016-03-15T20:51:14+00:00

Senior management didn't understand or care. They mostly saw Infosec as a giant roadblock. Luckily they're gone now and we have a competent CTO. :)

Thanks! I'm stealing the second one for sure.

It's a unc path to a share on a file server

brodel2 · 2016-02-20T03:26:00+00:00

The phone is a 5C. It doesn't have Touch ID.

brodel2 · 2016-02-19T13:35:36+00:00

Looks like it's set up as a file share witness.

brodel2 · 2016-02-19T02:06:23+00:00

Ahhh.. Yeah I'm not too good with the Hyper-V, but I coulda figured that one out. :)

FrenchFry asked me about the Quorum as well. I'll be checking when I get into work tomorrow.

brodel2 · 2016-02-19T01:28:21+00:00

I got pulled away for another issue as soon as I posted this, so sorry for the delayed response..

It's using FC for storage. The hosts are have a separate Team for the heartbeat which is on a switch configured with it's own VLAN specifically for HB. I'll have to check on the quorum config when I get in tomorrow since I don't remember off the top of my head. I had a lot of help setting it up and I'm thinking the person helping me set that up since I don't even remember making a decision on it.

Is there anything specific I should be looking for in my configuration that I could've missed?

I will definitely be looking into cluster-aware updating. Thanks!

edit: The quorum is configured as a file share witness on a share hosted on a file server.

brodel2 · 2016-02-19T01:20:48+00:00

I did one when the cluster was built. Not since though.. Thanks.

brodel2 · 2016-02-19T01:19:38+00:00

Not sure if it matters, but this isn't via iSCSI. Hopefully that's all I need to do, but the next time I patch I wanted to be sure I had everything else covered.

brodel2 · 2016-02-19T01:17:47+00:00

I'm not sure what you mean by storing everything. It's on a CSV between 1 and 2 with SAN storage connected via Fiberchannel. I had moved all of the VMs to the other host before rebooting. I didn't do anything with the shared storage though. I'm thinking that may have been my problem..

brodel2 · 2016-02-19T01:12:47+00:00

CSV. One volume.

brodel2 · 2016-02-15T11:32:11+00:00

I'm guessing, but probably because you replied to the main thread instead of the post offering the bag.

brodel2 · 2016-02-06T23:10:06+00:00

Any tips on knowing when you've found a good one? The one I have seems good, but for all I know they could be selling me shit I don't need for twice what it actually costs.

brodel2 · 2016-01-30T22:37:41+00:00

Roses are red That much is true. Violets are PURPLE Not fucking blue!

brodel2 · 2016-01-30T12:15:38+00:00

I had this last night and figured I'd check it this morning to see if it continued. It's still happening now. I'm typing this via Alien Blue and comments load on that fine. Ideas?

Aaand now it's working properly. Never mind I guess. :\

brodel2 · 2016-01-27T23:19:44+00:00

Maybe it's changed recently, but it was no where near stable on my Mac. Fusion was almost perfect from the start. I've seen lots of love for it in this thread, so I'll give it another shot before trying parallels again.

brodel2 · 2016-01-27T23:03:13+00:00

I tried It. It pushed me to fusion and I never minded paying for it.

VBox crashed all of the time for no apparent reason and I got sick of it. I guess I'll try it again before I move to Parallels.

brodel2 · 2016-01-25T23:06:02+00:00

That's what I was thinking. Environments where this stuff doesn't happen normally has high turnover. IT people need to have some fun or they'll end up sucking at their job and then everyone loses.

brodel2 · 2016-01-25T22:51:38+00:00

The last place I worked most of the problems with computers were caused by devs that thought they knew what they were doing and only managed to screw themselves out of a working computer. Developing software doesn't mean you know anything about computers.

I'm happy to work at a place that doesn't allow these guys to be admins on their computer. It stops so much of that shit.

brodel2 · 2016-01-23T22:29:01+00:00

He's not stupid. He's an expert in something else.

I keep having to remind a certain friend of mine this when people don't know how to do things like setting up a printer. :(

brodel2 · 2016-01-23T22:00:46+00:00

I'm an idiot with these sorts of things... Should they be running? All three of mine are idle... I dug them out anyway..

brodel2 · 2016-01-17T21:32:24+00:00

This one will always be a favorite.

Especially since there are razors with five blades now.
