On another note, what the hell exactly is BI or all these SRSS, SSIS or SSAS I acronyms stuff I see floating about? Is it just the same excel reports we've been seeing for years just prettier or something different? Aunt Beth posted:I've spent too much time with IBM systems. I can tell you how to IPL a VIO LPAR on a E890 and then LPM it to another system, but I'll be damned if I can figure out all the nonsense words that have been applied to cloud products. And I'm only 29. Curious, is an LPAR directly analogous to a virtual machine?

Tab8715 posted:Curious, is an LPAR directly analogous to a virtual machine? WARNING: Oversimplification ahead. Feel free to ask me to elaborate. The POWER hypervisor is a little less apparent to the administrator than ESX, for example, simply because the hardware and software grew up together, rather than a way to abstract away the hardware from the software. The hypervisor is baked into the server firmware, and starts every time you power up the system. Even a system running only one instance of an OS still runs it in an LPAR. Like x86 virt, LPARing still functions as a traffic cop, controlling images' access to resources. Let's say you have a bare metal server with 8 CPU's, 128GB of memory, and IO adapters in PCI slots 1-6. When you create an LPAR, you assign resources to it just like you would an x86 VM: 4 CPU's, 32 GB memory, and the IO adapters in slots 1, 2, and 3, then you activate the LPAR (power on the VM) and it's off to the races. However a traditional LPAR gives a 1:1 mapping to resources. So the next LPAR you create can have up to 4 CPU's, up to 96GB memory, and the IO adapters in slots 4, 5, and 6. If you want additional virtualization beyond this, you assign as much hardware as you want to share in the server to one LPAR and run IBM VIO (Virtual IO) Server on that LPAR, which can then present virtualized resources to other LPARs. So on a system with a VIO Server, you can then have other LPARs sharing resources: multiple virtual ethernet adapters in multiple LPARs mapped to one physical card, fractional CPU's, etc. Sorry that this was a bit of a ramble, as I said, ask me to clarify if you need.

Wants us to come up with a replacement or, if that isn't possible immediately, get rid of vCenter so they can get something like SCOM or NetCool. I looked at my co-worker and just shook my head. I honestly couldn't come up with an adequate response for such blatant stupidity. I work for a company that designs / implements / upgrades monitoring solutions so I feel your pain.

Is it just the same excel reports we've been seeing for years just prettier or something different?  BI is Business Intelligence as said, which is typically used to mean a solution which provides a platform for managing flows of data and transactions, as well as formatting and presenting it to users or other systems. If people are using the SS* acronyms in the same sentence, they're likely talking about BizTalk, which is Microsoft's BI platform. SS(R/I/A)S is Sql Server Reporting, Integration and Analysis Services respectively.

Company I used to manage servers for hired a business analyst, and her entire job was creating sql reports in BIDS. She demanded enterprise admin to do so, and would constantly gently caress up the sql server (ballooning the temp file until the drive was full was her favorite method of loving with my day). They had an onsite system admin who was relatively useless but this lady convinced him to do so many bad practices just to avoid calling us. Because, of course, calling us got her the answer of "gently caress no we're not doing that, you can do your job without remoting directly into the sql server." To the company though, her reports were more important than system security / stability, so she got her way and we had to deal with every bit of cleanup.

Is it just the same excel reports we've been seeing for years just prettier or something different? BI is business intelligence. Essentially a data warehouse that ingests data about your operation (log files, customer data, etc) and produces information that leads to actionable tasks that produce improvements in whatever you are measuring. A data warehouse is a large processing platform that can ingest and store structured and unstructured data and organize it in some fashion that makes retrieval and subsequent processing easier. The acronyms you mentioned are part of the Microsoft SQL Server bundle that ostensibly allows you to build your own data warehouse on the SQL Server platform: SSIS -SQL Server Integration Services The product that allows for ETL (extract, transform, load) processes to retrieve data from a source, convert it into formatted data and then load data into your data warehouse while performing error checking and data validation. SSRS - SQL Server Reporting Services Now that you have your data in a database, SSRS allows you to generate scheduled and as-hoc reports against it. SSAS - SQL Server Analysis Services This platform builds "cubes" out of your data adding the dimension of time to your two dimensional table. SSAS enables trend analysis from your data warehouse.

My company is huge on BI, the enterprise reporting/data/warehouse/planning team is bigger than the rest of IT put together. I don't deal with it much, but it gives the higher ups a good overview of everything from order, manufacturing, shipping, etc. Basically the entire product life cycle of everything we manufacture. Based on that data they supposedly can make decisions to adjust pieces of the business as needed.

BI is super awesome. More companies should invest resources into it instead of going by the seat of their pants. If there was any field I'd move into from general IT it would be BI.

We got in to zones a little too quick back in the day and found ourselves trying to schedule patching for a global zone and 7 local zones by finding a window where five different applications could absorb an outage at the same time. That was when we started looking much harder at LDOMs.

Boss just called from Asia. They're firing our new head of accounting tomorrow who I hate and has made my life a living hell for the last few months since he came on. My boss was all "would it be too much trouble for you to lock him out remotely and it's Easter I feel bad making you work" my response: "  it's 5 minutes of work, just give me a time" translated to be not so crazy happy about it (he knows I can't stand him but I'm not going to dance on his grave). Jesus this is almost better than a raise.

Vulture Culture posted:11.3 supports live migration, doesn't it? I thought that was for kernel zones, not old school local zones. Not that it matters, we went to being a primarily LDOM-based shop in 2014 and haven't looked back. We only have a handful of local zones left for situations when a 1-core LDOM is still just too much compute power for a purpose.

People are getting fired because of what I found out and reported. I feel really lovely, but I mean, it's not my fault they were looking at porn at work. I still feel awful. Also, everyone calls me CT now. My ADD project starts in 3 days, but I think I've got a good pitch going, not to mention when I mention how much it will save, and I point out the BSA 50k Anti-Piracy bounty. I've got a nifty portfolio going, and after talking to a lawyer, I've got a new suit as well! If we actually do discuss a raise, would 30k a year be too much to ask for?

I feel really lovely, but I mean, it's not my fault they were looking at porn at work. Depends on the area. My job is something comparable to what you should expect to be doing and I make 50k a year but I live in Memphis which is pretty well known for low cost of living (I should be making a bit more, but I like my job and don't have much room for boat rocking until I get more certs). 64k/yr doesn't sound too bad, but try to do a little comparative research on similar jobs in your area to double check yourself.
