If a contractor, an anonymous call to the friendly neighborhood electrical inspector will usually guarantee they have to spend more than they were willing in the past... ...not that I would have ever done anything like that... :D

I still use DCM TF400 as my mains and still sound great almost 20 years later.

We got all of our Hitachi kit in this past week and I meant to post these. Pretty clean work by the Hitachi CEs. This is the HUS130 - Specs Here. I will post HUS110 Pics next week.

Per the specs: Transceivers: 10 Gbps Ethernet LC-style pluggable (SFP+), SR (850 nm) or LR (1310 nm), hot-swappable Active copper Twinax SFP+ direct attach cables http://www.brocade.com/products/all/adapters/product-details/1010-1020-cna/specifications.page

I would have had less reservation if it was not ALL of our production data migrating off the CX4. I just couldn't justify that to myself. It sounds like you have more storage diversity than us. I am sure that it would have been fine, but Murphy's Law is usually derived from IrishMLK's Law...

I am replacing a CX4-240 with the HUS130 and an AX4 with the HUS110. It was a mix of budget, technology, and overall impression of the companies. We looked at EMC, Dell, Nimble, Hitachi and Exagrid, but we definitely got the most bang for buck with Hitachi. EMC just assumed that because...

We are getting our new Hitachi kit delivered on Monday. An HUS130 with ~72TB usable (10 200GB SSD, 42 600GB SAS, and 42 2TB drives) as the primary SAN and an HUS110 with ~40TB for D2D backup. I will post pics when we get them installed.

@FLECOM What 10GbE switch is that? Edit: I don't know why I assumed 10GbE. Are they your SAN switches?

@RiDDLeRThC That is slick. We just got vSOM a little over a month ago and I haven't got to deep into it yet. This makes me think that I will be spending more time with it. Although, I am stuck with a Clariion CX4-240 until November when we will be getting either a Nimble CS460G-X4 with...

The two units at the top are converged UCS fabric extenders which are pretty much just stripped down Nexus switches. As far as power goes, the chassis has 4 dedicated drops from the UPS and the FEX are powered by 2 Z-Line PDUs not pictured, both on separate circuits. We will be...

I wanted a clean start for the UCS.

Will post more pics of our VMWare cluster migration from ancient IBM x3650s to UCS B-series soon... Going from 8 IBMs to 4 blades and one of the blades will have more RAM than all 8 of the previous hosts combined! :D But first, we need to add some FC ports to our CX4-240 with two of...

That is exactly why I bought it. Power savings over the SFF PC. I don't expect much in the way of feature/performance gain, but it would be a nice surprise. As a side-note. I ordered the unit yesterday afternoon late and DoubleRadius will have it at my door probably before I get home...

Just ordered my ERLite-3 today from DoubleRadius. Will replace Atom Pfsense box.

Thanks. Will take a look.

We need to bypass an old repeater between two sites. Anyone have any suggestions for a relatively easy ROIP setup?

BYOD? :eek:

Yeah, we reach no more than 80 or so at peak times, but we are going to be adding some barcode scanners and a few more Motion tablets this quarter. Also will need to deploy another dozen Unifi as well. Anyone had any issues with Unifi and Motion CL900 tablets? We may have to swap a few of...

I am guessing this was during non-peak loads with only 93 users across 33 APs? What is your saturation like - single AP per class with low tx power?

I am in the process of prepping a UCS C210 M2 hypervisor for a remote office. I want to know if I setup everything on my home office subnet, what happens when I move it and the iSCSI storage to the remote office subnet? Also, I have VMs that will be running from local disks and have a...

I can't find a good cold boot converter image anywhere... I have some NT2K boxes that dreadfully need P2V'd. Any links?

Here is where I get mine from. http://www.doubleradius.com/Products/UniFi-Scalable-Wifi We have 12 deployed across three sites so far, and I can manage them all from our home office. I am planning some PicoStationM2 with UniFi in the near future for one of our plants that has a large lumber...

If you have support still, contact Barracuda. I just got a free hardware refresh on a 6 year old SF300. New one has been installed less than a week and is lightning quick compared to the old one. I may have threatened to look for another spam firewall vendor in my support ticket though... ;)

... or good design for Cisco's bottom line...

Are you guys using the free or paid version of SmarterMail?

altivec, sounds very familiar. I hear stories like that alot. We are the ones that go through hell to make their lives easier... but I still like what i do. netjunkie, we have to use enterprise vmware licensing for high availability and vMotion. wish I could get away with basic...

Thanks for the responses. We are just buying 2 servers to begin with. My Dell rep quoted me 2 R710 servers at just over $13k. Add vmware licenses to that and my CFO has a coronary...

Anyone have any experience with this company. We are in desperate need of an ESXi server farm refresh and my CFO is screaming for CHEAP hardware. They seem very reasonably priced, but I can't find much in the way of testimonials, etc. Thanks!

I was going to suggest a celeron E3300 and a laptop HDD but you beat me to it...

What IP Cameras will you be using with the M5's?

37?!?!?! ;)

I think Ubiquiti needs to rename their cameras to WireCams... Why would a company built on wireless technology innovation bring out a line of cameras called Aircams and then make them POE? I will probably try them out, but I was hoping for WIRELESS cams from Ubiquiti.

Are your DL385's just running Xen or do you have some with VMWare too? Those are what I I have been pushing my boss to get. How do you like them? I am guessing they are the 12-core version...

That's funny, I was thinking pin the KA-Bar on the jackass... but that's just me.

something like this maybe? http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=249-412

Thanks to both of you for the help. When I am able to get to the remote firewall, I will be able to see what they did. Could it be that the host may need rebooted for the DNS to get updated after the ISP change? Just a thought... I will post back when I get into the firewall config.

You are correct. I cannot ping the host name either. We have a site to site VPN. The weird thing is I can see the VMs on the network and RDP into them. From what I could find, it may be port 27000 or something that needs opened on the branch site firewall to allow the host to see the license...

We have an ESX 3.5 host at a branch location that went offline in vSphere, but the VMs are still online. When I try to connect to the host in vSphere it gives me the error: "Unable to acquire licenses because the license source is unavailable: The license manager has not been started...

Where are you all finding the UniFi APs in stock? None of the vendors I have contacted have them and are telling me they are on back-order... I am in the US, if that is the problem...
