I have a 2950 plus three 1950II 's I intended to turn into a vsphere lab. Problem is they're damn loud, put out a ton of heat and are horribly inefficient by today's standards. I even tried dropping them to a single CPU and it didn't help a ton. I have a X3440 xeon whitebox server I'm running a...

The 1855 chassis are very loud. We have a few and they're complete crap. If I recall they also require 208v unlike the M1000e that can be run at 110v. M1000e chassis are pretty awesome, but Dells first try at blades were junk. We have 4 M1000e chassis with the CMCs stacked in one cabinet...

If I recall in NT4 you had to drop it and re-join.

I'm not totally sure, I didn't get to make that decision. I suppose its for future upgrades. These are being used for two new OC3 MPLS circuits. Upgrading from two DS3's running on 3845 routers. We have about 150 branch offices that connect in via wyse terminals to Citrix desktops plus VOIP...

Checkpoint firewalls. We do very little VPN stuff with them. I'm sure they are eol by now. All of our remote users use our netscaler.

Racked these guys this week. :D

Ya they're R510's. I think the util node is a R710. Doesn't really matter. It all about the technology in the software.

Some EMC love. Two Avamar grids side by side during our installation. 5 data nodes, 1 spare 1 utility. 12x 2TB + 1 SSD in each data node. Also have NDMP accelerator nodes at the top of the cabinets. The grid on the left is the DR replica and was moved to our DR site after the initial...

Keep it simple. I'm assuming this is a single subnet with no L3 action happening on the switches. Did you get the stacking modules with them? If so and if they're in the same rack I'd just stack them. Servers with LACP connections spanning switches. or smart load balancing/failover. If...

What is the rail above the front of the server rack row? Support for hot/cold isle separation?

I'm a fan of the APC cabinets. Tons of options for PDUs, cable management and airflow among other things.

Have you noticed that the activity LEDs on the 3750X switches seem to blink really fast compared to other Cisco switches? We deployed a stack of those a while back. It seemed like the LEDs blinked really fast. Checked for loops and multicasting. Didn't find anything wrong. Just seemed odd.

Nice work. I've been thinking of doing something similar. Is that the monoprice wall 7U wall mount? Also what shelf is that at the bottom?

It sounds like the host is losing access to the storage. Can you provide more info on how the host connects to the SAN?

The 1/3 or 2/3 gaps drive me nuts as well. A lot of server rails wont install securely unless lined up to the U markers properly.

I want to say for 288 CAT 6A ports going to 5 cabinets it cost around 85-90k. That included the baskets. While I think it's pretty cool stuff I think we could have spent that money elsewhere and put in CAT6 instead.

Thanks guys, This was the first time cleaning up something on this scale. I need to take some pictures of the front side of the server racks. CAT6A, This is some crazy thick cable. Starline busway, 60A plugs for Dell chassis cabinets. The busway is feed by an APC 80 KVA ups in the room next...

I've been lurking for a while and decided to finally contribute. Started at my company about a year ago. Have been working on cleaning up the DC for the past 9 months. I wish I had taken more before shots. Network Racks Before: The white cables was the premise wiring for workstations. These...

This is the color standard we use in IDFs and the DC. Blue - Internal network. Could be POE to the access switches or inside the DC for servers. Green - Trunks between switches. Red - External or DMZ Yellow - KVM Black - Management network Purple - Temporary to be labeled and color coded

I use the Panduit labels as well, nice but pricey. There is a clear laminate part of the label that wraps back over the printed part. No problems with them falling off.

In for another round :D

im in :D

:eek:

NM :p

8600 GTS back from the dead. :D Was pulled from a family members PC that wouldn't post. They upgraded the card and I got the dead one. It will soon live as a dedicated physx card. The WTF look on the wifes face as im preping a cookie sheet was priceless. :p

Ya pretty much, it's all speculation. Maybe she runs a small business off the PC and had customers CC info.

Not all businesses are so up on IT security. I've seen some insanely stupid security mistakes made by companies. But even with all the security in the world all it takes is a dimwit user to copy sensitive data to a thumb drive to work on from home.

I'd bet the mom had some other type of sensitive data that was stolen. I'm thinking along the lines of her employers HR data or customer data. Or maybe she works for the government. Otherwise I doubt HS or the FBI would be involved. The OP seemed to allude to it being more then photos stolen.

Worth a shot eh? #3966 :p

I say they are badges of honor. Shows everyone else how much time and effort you've put towards the cause.

I think I have a few 256MB DDR 266 chips. I'll have to check when I get home.

I have 7 S370 P3's 866 and 933 MHz CPUs only that i'd be willing to donate. Also have a handfull of slot 1 P3's. I think the Slots at 550MHz and 650MHz. Maybe some misc ram too. Let me know if you'd be interested id be willing to pay the shipping.

Its nice to be in the 100k club :cool:

Found it lol :D

Ho can I search for my UD stats on hardfolding.com ?

I'm ready to go. But my stats havnt shown up on hardfolding.com yet. Device name: Boysenberry P4 2.4a @ 2.8

Sounds prety good. I got one boxen added now. Still waiting for stats to show up :mad:

Added a OCed 2.4 P4 @ 2.8GHz to UD. My first UD boxen :eek: 50 - 1 = 49 :)

I'm down for a little UD noob race. :cool:

I'm going to have to keep an eye on ebay for one of these sounds like a fun project. I'm also wondering if you could fold server these.
