lol if you are not separating each disk as a separate lun

each sql server instance should have 7-9 luns, fiber as fast as possible, and the logs should be raid 1

our current prod server is setup properly, but vmware has convinced our server janitors that sql server will run just fine on vmware no matter how they set it up.

i dont think they understand that it would require we guarantee 100% of the resources configured for the sql vms (preferably 100% of host resources) or that those vmware docs/sales guys are assuming we understand that when they say its ok to use vmware disks for sql they mean on separate luns, not one big fat shared one.

its gonna be a nightmare.

it's ok to give 100% of a host to a single vm, vmotion alone makes that worth it

but if they're talking about putting sql server data and log disks on vmdks, gently caress no, use rdms

yeah im fine w/ dedicating 100% of host resources to a single vm and then doing HA w/ an identical other vm host. Essentially making the 2 physical hosts into 1 virtual host. thats the right way to do it.

but whats gonna happen is they're gonna kinda maybe start out that way. the disks are deffo gonna be vmdk. and then they're gonna have a need for a few more servers for something else and our sql server doesn't neeed all those resources so they'll throw some vms on there with the sql server and screw up the resource management and the disk i/o will go to poo poo

at the san level raid 1 is basically raid 1+0 since you just allocate logically what u need and don't worry about disk layout, unless you have a scrub san

SFU. It's a comparative PL class. Basically we learn poo poo other than Java/C# in the hopes that maybe lessons learned from non–imperative languages will make us better coders. Also poo poo like like differences between static/dynamic typing and binding and how you can compile python code into whatever other lower level language you want and have it run pretty much as fast.

Clojure, Erlang are good choices for weirdness.

And both have interesting approaches to think like concurrency / state handling and discrepancies. If these are things that are interesting to you, I would pick between them based on whether you prefer to write server software or more desktop-like applications.

Erlang's model is well-adapted to servers, and when you expect to have many of them and do some potential distribution or handle hundreds or thousands or hundreds of thousands of clients, it's a good language to work with. It abstracts away a lot of hardware concerns and lets you focus on things a step higher when it comes to concurrency and parallelism.

Clojure, as far as I know, takes an approach where it's about running parallel/concurrent stuff on a single machine, and dealing well with multicore. You'll have to tackle similar issues, but with a higher focus on sharing/handling different versions of data, whereas Erlang would be a lot about handling inevitable failures and discrepancies of distributed poo poo.

Then there's Go, but I never looked into it enough.

clojure is pretty cool and if you start learning it you can use lighttable which looks pretty interesting

You won't find a whole lot of things that are new to you in F#/ML if you already know Haskell, though. Especially if you also already happen to know Scheme. And if you don't you probably should :)

I can't remember, have you learned lisp

if not, learn lisp

start with mccarrthy's original paper which is very readable and shows just how simple the language can be

next imo read the little schemer which is a painless way to learn old school scheme in just few hours since it's barely more complicated than mccarthy's original version

finally you're ready for sicp which is basically a book on how to think recursively which doesn't sound like a big deal until you realize iteration ⊂ recursion at which point I have expanded ur mind and you're welcome
