Compellent copilot support are amazing, they are the single best support company I have dealt with, by a long shot! They will walk you through even the stupidist little things, proactivley contact if something isn't fully healthy (and quickly, not like EMC who take ages). They like to be...

This is normally NAT. As the switch doesn't support it something downstream of this port (and only that 1 port) is introducing NAT. Here's a test: put switch back in but only connect 1 PC, if its NAT you won't see the issue. Now add the second PC to the switch, if it happens once it accesses...

The number of IPs of the management network shouldn't affect it (unless you mean multiple ports for throughput but depending on your setup you could LAG it) It NBD doesn't cause issues and your proxies have ports on each subnet it shouldn't be an issue. Tbh at one point we were pulling from...

Yes I have seen this, we would get the odd disk left mounted when we ran ESXi 4.5 with veeam, maybe once a week. As soon as I went to 5.5 it became a daily thing, my replicas were getting trashed and everything started to fall apart, probably 20 servers + a day with mounted snapshots in the...

I cant wait to post mine up once the new esx hosst are online, 9 hosts in total :D

It makes me laugh when I see all these posts about churches and the tech they are having installed, just wouldn't happen over here Oooooh 2900 isr, just about to get 6 of those in

They are the extra wide, extra deep version ar3350 I think, they kick ass!

The first of,many deliveries, stuff all over the place Kit going in

All commissioned today, forgot to include finished shot of the switch gear.

so i posted some photos from the start of our DC build MONTHS ago, its been slow going but we have some progress. I can has UPS These are Huge, like half the size of my hand Generator Changeover Much more on its way soon!

if it were me (and ive just done this .....) i would do the following: 1) UPS - APC Symmetra PX UPS, these are modular and can be expanded as and when you need additional capacity with no additional cost on the base system, at max 48 KW chassis is the same price as a 96KW, you the add power...

it is indeed, i was wandering if / when someone would notice.

Siteprefix - function - 2 digit incremental number for the function eg somewhere-apps-01

at a guess i would say so power cables are kept shorter as its only half a rack each way. would be much better off mounting the UPS in the bottom (always put heaviest kit in the bottom and get lighter as you go up) and then use PDUs to distribute thoughout the racks.
