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

Specs of the servers as I didnt include them: Dual 8 core procs at 2.9 something 192 gb 1600mhz ram, tripple chan 4* 10 gig nics Dual internal sd cards for esxi (rtedundant) no hdds

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.

Its cat 6 RE Cat6A, its a nightmare, i have a few hundred runs of it and its a nightmare to run and terminate, it does bundle nicely though as its so rigid.

fixed

latest updates from our build, room was handed over from construction yesterday afternoon.

is that account pricing as their site is showing £1,275?

ah OK slightly chepar that i get them then (£1166) butt they do ofer a very good level of service, who is yours through? is your 10G cisco or procurve?

good man :) are you UK or US? if your UK i can recommend a very good supplier (no link other than a VERY VERY satisfied customer)

thats what i was getting at, in your first post it looks like you were thinking host = the Guest

Security essentials, Spybot with teatimer running, IE locked right down, they log in with a non admin account for general use, log out and then in as an admin for installs then back in as their account for browsing again

host = esx guest = vm ;)

APC AR3350 there 750mm wide but also deeper (1.2m) so you can fit PDUs and proper cable management in. APC have a full set of accessories for there enclosures that have been purposely designed rather than an afterthought. weve had (in order): compaq dell hp APC 3100 (narrow) APC...

Yes its raised floor and the whole room has been planned to death, 2 ups racks, 7 server racks and 6 two post racks for patching / comms etc the raised floor is not used for cooling, it is to bring Cat6 in from desks and keep it out of sight. the room will have a hot aisle containment...

technically not network pics but its our new server room that's being built and there should be a load of new kit shortly so will get some pics when it starts rolling in.

you dont have an edge transport (just using hub instead?) or you dont have a catch all rule?

all your pcs will come from the same nat address but only pcs using the open dns server will be resticted so that will work for you.

45 up and down :D

i use square hole on server racks etc but for patching and comms i used the threaded racks, so much easier as all the kit going in is screw in, no rails. patch panels dont tend to move once they are in so little risk of damaging a thread.

yep, 2650pwr (voip poe) at the top, the rest are 2810-48g, big one sneaking in to the pic on the right is 8212 but its not gone into service yet

so i re-did the rack on sunday before: and after: its still not 100%, i needed some slightly longer cables than expected so had to go on the left until i can getthem in and re-patch them and i cant put the management in the very bottom until bt get my new circuit in as the old one...

best way to do this: Firefox portable on a flash drive, take the drive and she cant access it but it keeps logins, cookies, favourites etc on the flashdrive and you can install all your addons (such as flash) to it

not too much to see in these, new core network rack im building up, cat6a to the other racks for uplinks. fibre will be in the bottom, kit for laser link (fso) will be in the middle. and one of the messy racks that is being ripped out and replaced / tidied this weekend

normally from a void in the floor, especialy if its 1st floor or higher as you use the ceiling voide from below to run the cables, drill a hole in the floor and bring them up.

you get space each side of the rails, this means there is more room for pdus (otherwise then tend to get in the way a little bit on the 600's) and there is room for Verticale cable management, 0U data cableing etc. best way is look on the apc site at both products and compare the options for...

yeah the 750mm netshelter sx's are the ones to go for. your kit should fit if theve got standard rails as for power, im really liking the smartups online for smaller stuff or symetras for bigger kit. one of my sites has truly awful power, it killed a smartups in under a year! justthink what...

i would go apc netshelter sx over dell, we have both and the netshelter sx is loads better (as long as its the wide version) they both have 0u pdus but the dell only takes little ones, the apcs will take full high ones, the apcs will take proper cable management panels are much easier to...
