Pro-tip if you don’t have space in your rack for your expensive firewall appliance, they’re not that heavy!

GreenNight posted:The daughter of the president of our board of directors works at one of our manufacturing faculties. She works 3rd shift. She got her bike stolen. Her bike was locked up behind the building to a chain link fence that separates our property from the local park where there were about 20 homeless tents up until a week ago. She did not lock it up to the bike rack in the parking lot. Fire her for generating unnecessary expense through carelessness, hire one of the homeless guys. Start with the one with reliable transportation.

Reminds me of that one underpaid goon who had an older car in less-than-perfect condition, and one of his management saw it in the company parking lot one day and told him to get something newer because it was making the place look bad, with zero irony or appreciation for how little the goon was paid.

Bob Morales posted:at least they have redundancy Only one of them was powered on. I think they have a local IT company in there monkeying with stuff and they left it that way because there wasn’t much space in the rack and they were gonna come back to it anyway? Personally I would not recommend load-bearing RJ-45 tabs for mission-critical equipment even temporarily, but what do I know, I was just there looking at their phone system.

As terrible as these are, the dark green cable strung across an aisle at neck height at the perfect point between light sensors will be hard to top for me. I really should have taken a picture of it. It felt like a personal "gently caress you" from the customer.

I'm still incredibly mad that I spent almost an hour in our server room with a tone generator trying to figure out where the gently caress the network port for our Door system actually lead to on our panels. Eventually we gave up and just got down on the floor and started following cables by hand.. which is when we noticed the quarter-height panel hidden underneath an overhang so it wasn't visible unless you were crouched down, with a port helpfully labeled "DOOR".

angry armadillo posted:. Thumb drives? You mean it would be convenient to transfer large files between the multiple air gapped systems we make you use? Well you might lose the thumb drive so no no no! Thumb drives permanently locked onto a steel cable that can only reach the machines they'll be used with and no others. Also, don't tell them about fingerprint readers as I think these same folks will just faint at the word biometrics

Ugh... Goddammit, Dell Update iDRACs in DC2 in January: iDRAC version 4.40 Update iDRACs in DC1 this morning: iDRAC version 4.32 Check Dell's website for manual download: 4.40 This wouldn't be such a pain in the rear end if there wasn't missing functionality (raid controller poo poo).

One of my hats is infrastructure architect, with a particular focus on UNIX/Linux. If someone's doing a new project on our predominantly on-prem world that requires something more than a garden-variety VM deployment, and it's going to run Linux, they almost always come to me. There's another architect with a stronger Windows background who gets those requests. Except that he apparently decided to go around me for a Linux project because he was in a hurry, and now he's shocked, simply shocked, to discover that the standard Dell PCI RAID controller cannot create a RAID5 array out of NVMe drives. I have not yet found ways to ask "why did you think that was possible" and "why did you think that would be a good idea" that passed the rear end in a top hat test. I have to confess that I'm not trying real hard to pass said test because I do, in fact, think the guy is an rear end in a top hat.

I'd just very gently explain that in linux there are good tools at the system level to deal with that anyway, so its not like its a problem. Maybe work in a jab about how he wouldn't understand, given that it would be a showstopper on a windows box

Nah nothing specific, just the standard Scott Alan Miller joke. I'm sure it's years out of date now and he probably got too upset that someone put some SATA disks in a server without crediting him and got banned for the meltdown.

Anyone have any experience with Cisco support? I was assigned to try to troubleshoot an issue with a client where the web interface on their router just spins when they try to login, and I went and created a Cisco support account and made a ticket, but I've been ghosted by the support rep since their first reply on Tuesday despite multiple followup attempts.
