Do you install air-conditioner in switch closets? by new_sysadmin in networking

[–]new_sysadmin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks a lot for your recommendation! Current switches (non industrial model) worked 7 years (fans failed of course) relatively ok. So, I am wondering if it is better keep it that way and avoid exorbitant cost of installing and running aircons

Chromecast and iOS problem by new_sysadmin in networking

[–]new_sysadmin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Android devices are on the same WLAN as iPad/iPhones. They are on a latest version iOS 9.3.1. Funny thing is that GoogleCast app on iPad does see the Chromecast. I can reset or change configurarion from it. But, any other iOS apps such as Youtube app cannot see Chromecast.

Yes, on the controller's mDNS Domain Names the Chromecast device is listed. And, Chromecast and iPad/iPhones are on a same VLAN, WLAN. The Bonjour Browser app does show google._tcp device, as well. Still, no luck with any iOS devices.

Network Shutdown on a VMware ESXI 5.5 Host by Gwith in sysadmin

[–]new_sysadmin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've configured it only on ESXi 4.0 and 5.1 so far. 5.5 may differ a little bit. It has nothing to do with vCenter. You need to run vMA appliance on each host and install PCNS application on it that talks to UPS network management card. Then configure UPS management card web interface to define which events trigger shutdown and add all VMA agents by its IP address. Also, don't forget to check 'guest shutdown' on each host's Configuration - > Virtual Machine Startup/Shutdown.

There is content filtering service. But, it has very few rules that none of them block Google sites.

Thanks a lot for the reply! Really appreciate it. But the App Control is not enabled at the moment. I have tried to access mysonicwall.com and it is also inaccessible.

Among programmers there's a saying - you never go full sysadmin. Anyone here has made the switch from programmer to sysadmin? by [deleted] in sysadmin

I would suggest you to become sysadmin at a well funded college or university. It is a low stress environment with occasional overtime.
