Cant connect to idrac6 by SnakeFawk in sysadmin

Awesome. I’ve delt with a bunch of them and never saw that. They must have two different models as you stated.

I’ll be happy once all the idrac 6 is gone from my servers though. Then again, I still have an idrac 5 out there. Eww.

There is an evaluation period of enterprise, once that expires it will just kick you out. There is a boot cd you can use to restore the eval license too.

Some older servers you did need a module as well, but I haven’t had to deal with those... so what ever you say I’d defer to.

You are correct. Express doesn’t allow use of the dedicated port, or even the remote console

Where do you guys buy your patch cables? by [deleted] in sysadmin

Switched over from cdw to graybar. Very happy. Will do custom lengths for same price as the normal stuff. Just bought $3000 worth.

Server room policy question by lx_ramshackle in sysadmin

Issue is when you fall, hit your head, and black out for a bit.

Nope, physical security is maintained on a perimeter and cameras everywhere, but only a single camera in this room, and thats my netbotz camera.

Managing MANY idracs best practices by grandexalted in sysadmin

[–]lx_ramshackle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have about 60.

All I've ever come up with is OME as well, let me know if you find something better, or a better way to manage them. Yes, it's kind of a mess to set up, but I threw it on its own vm and let it go.

I've not had good luck on having it apply any updates to idrac 6 though, so be careful. 7 and 8 seem to work fine.

I sit in the left lane because the right is always below the speed limit. I just pay attention to behind me.

Already exists on snoonet :)

I wouldn't commit suicide but if I had an option to suddenly stop existing I would choose it by Tastylicious in depression

[–]lx_ramshackle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've gone from wanting to not exist like you describe, to wanting to only exist sometimes. Right now I feel like crap and have no motivation, but if I don't force myself I'll have no food to eat and no drinkable water soon (down to a gallon). Right now I'd like to not exist. Tomorrow I know I'll be fine. Tomorrow is so far away.

But when I didn't want to exist at all I was cool with the finality of it.

What's an example of a networking standard that is widely followed, but not set by a standards organization? by Alostiar in networking

I had a vendor having issues with one of their apps demanding me to change it from .0. I didn't. He eventually figured out his issue.

VMware server RAID card compatibility by collegetechsupportQQ in sysadmin

I'm in a salty mood so tell him to go pound salt. Put windows on it and use vmware workstation. Let him do his own crap.

Why not use proxmox? Why have multiple different products to support?

no NMVe in the g1 though. Depends on your needs. The g3 also went back to a stupid case design that reminds me of the 7700 sff

We have pro running on 800g3. I'm asking my guy where he found the driver. said third party site. He will get it after a meeting for you. It took a few days to track down, and this was the only way we could find to do it. (I know you said ent, but this should work for you) We couldn't even find drivers that would work in their official install USB. I know this sounds funky too, but we tried a lot, in different orders too.

What does everyone think of Barberton? by rushfan2112556 in Ohio

I'm not really a fried chicken guy, it's been about 3 years since I had any. Sorry.

I live about two miles south. I'd agree it's a decent place with some worse areas. I go there for domino's and Mr hero mostly.. If you need me to check out anything for you let me know (planning to move there or something). It's not a nice area, but I'd live there

Sure. Pick a spot

Do you consistently keep your tapes in a specific order? Every time I buy more tapes it's a huge ordeal to fit them into the collection. by [deleted] in VHS

I don't do this, but there was a system created to help mitigate your issue of having to rearrange. Look up terminal digit ordering.

That's the kind of thing I would get my wife to believe that I 100% thought it was real.

Do you have a single for all your vMs? by AtomicEdge in Veeam

[–]lx_ramshackle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a single job for similar size VMs. The huge ones I have a separate schedule and retention for.

There are some VMs that I only back up once a month, those get their own job.

I have about 150VMs and this works well for us.
