    FS: Ubiquiti UAP AP PRO access point

    Recently purchased a UAP AC Pro for extra speed and don't need this AP anymore. Comes with AP, wall mounting equipment, and power converter if you don't have POE. This is the UAP AP Pro, not UAP AC Pro which means it's 802.11n speeds NOT 802.11ac. $SOLD

    So I picked up about 20 of these drives when Newegg was clearancing them out during Black Friday. Currently I have 15 of them running in my whitebox storage server and a Synology NAS and they work great. But outside of keeping a couple around as spares, I don't really have a need for 5 drives...

    Host still thinks it has registered VMs after reboot

    Got a 5.0 cluster running on UCS and just put a host in maintenance mode and upgraded the firmware on it. It comes up fine but doesn't reconnect to vCenter on its own. vCenter reports the user name or password is incorrect. No big deal. I choose "Reconnect" and input the root account info...

    Block bug in ESXi 5.5

    Anyone heard of this? A co-worker forwarded me an email he received from another co-worker who is heavy on the Netapp side stating that Netapp has found an issue with ESXi 5.5 on block storage (FC, FCOE, and iSCSI) across all hardware vendors. Currently there is no ETA on a patch but in the...

    Onboard NICs and Jumbo frames

    Don't ever take for granted that a desktop onboard NIC can do jumbo frames. Wasted an hour in my lab troubleshooting a networking issue and this ended up being the case. Felt like I had time warped back to 2005. Who makes motherboards with NICs that don't support Jumbos? What does that save...

    vCenter fun

    In my lab I have 3 domain controllers: 2 running Windows 2012 and a brand new one running 2012 R2. Last night I decided I wanted to get all of them up to 2012 R2 so I moved the FSMO and Schema master roles to the existing 2012 R2 machine, demoted the first DC, removed it from the domain, and...

    vSphere 5.5 is out

    Got disgusted watching the Minnesota Vikings fall for a fake punt and a fake field goal within a 5 minute span so jumped on my computer and happened to check VMware's download page. 5.5 download commencing. This should take my mind off how bad my football team sucks.

    UCS C-Series and VIC 1225

    Anyone deployed this with VMware? I'm setting this up for a client where we're putting vSphere 5.1 on C-series hosts not managed by UCSM. I've created 8 vNICs with 1, 3, 5, and 7 pinned to uplink 0 and 2, 4, 6, and 8 pinned to uplink 1. I then create a vSwitch for management on vNIC 1 and 2...

    UCS and Multi-NIC VMotion

    How have you guys been setting this up? One of the advantages of UCS is that if architected correctly, we can ensure VMotion traffic will stay local to the Fabric Interconnects. Prior to vSphere 5, we'd pin VMotion to Fabric A or B only with one vmnic as active and the other as standby...

    Breaking SSO HA

    Working with a client who mistakenly set up SSO in HA mode with the primary node being in their primary DC and the secondary node being in their DR site. Obviously this won't do them much good when the primary DC goes down and the secondary HA node can no longer reach the SSO database and since...

    Broken Dell 15R Special Edition laptop with quad core Intel i7 CPU

    Got this laptop as a refurbished unit about 6 months ago. About 3 months ago I was enjoying a cup of coffee (yeah, you know what comes next) at the table when my daughter accidentally knocked over my coffee cup, sending black, liquid death all over the keyboard. Despite yanking the battery...

    Migrating ESXi Boot LUNs

    Got a customer who is replacing their old Clariion with a VNX. A while back I set up their UCS environment and configured ESXi to boot from SAN. Obviously using Storage Vmotion for the VMs was a breeze but now I'm tasked with moving the boot LUNs. My original plan was to use SAN Copy, update...

    Fun issue with Starwind iSCSI

    Been running Starwind iSCSI since August or so and haven't had a single problem with it. Noticed that there have been a few updates since then including a fix that disables VAAI as they've seen issues with it. "OK," I thought. "I have to reboot my file server anyway for Windows updates so...

    FS: EMC NS-120 for local pickup near Minneapolis

    Got my hands on an EMC NS-120 from work a few weeks ago. It had two failed drives and a bad standby data mover. The data mover couldn't be recovered so I recabled the array as a single data mover setup and replaced the two failed drives. It's been fun dinking around with it for a while but...

    Does this laptop not exist?

    I'm in the market for a new laptop but am tired of toting around a 15" 6lb beast when I travel. Using a laptop that large just does not work on an airplane. So I've been looking at 14" and 13.3" laptops but am exacerbated by the fact that every manufacturer has a hard on for 1366x768...

    PEX 2013

    Who's going this year? I'll be there early for the boot camps along with a handful of other people I work with. Should be fun. If anyone wants to meet up for drinks, speak up. I've met a couple of you in person and it would be interesting to put a few more faces to the names.
