With the hostname (FQDN) authentication is probably using Kerberos rather than NTLM. When you use the IP it will use NTLM. It sounds like that the array isn't using NTLMv2 since it sounds like the domain controllers are set to only send and receive NTLMv2. I would work with NetApp support to...

I work for a VAR focusing on the datacenter infrastructure side of things (Storage/Networking/Compute) however I have been shifting more towards the automation/orchestration side. This is where we are seeing companies start their foray into automation/orchestration and even into the cloud...

There really is a lack of understanding of what cloud computing is. It isn't just shipping your servers/applications off to some cloud provider and then firing half of your IT staff. Now there are many applications that are not suited for the cloud however as these software vendors are creating...

Is there a reason that you want to separate management onto its own hardware? What is the size of your current environment? Normally what I have done in the past is separate management VMs into their own Cluster and dedicate however many UCS blades are necessary to that cluster. We just make...

So sorry for the late reply. It is a great product for certification study at least for the Routing & Switching side of things especially since many IOS L2 features are now supported. Also remember that much of the L2 functionality in IOS carries over to NX-OS. The commands to implement those...

I used to have have physical switches and routers in my home lab however last year I switched to Cisco VIRL. It's an annual subscription of $200 or $80 if you qualify for the academic version. We use it quite a bit where I work. We can lab up a customer's environment and test out changes before...

Since you do not have layer 3 between the subnets then the only other types of attacks that come to my mind revolve around VLAN hopping. There is a good little write up here that discusses the 2 types of VLAN hopping attacks and how to mitigate them. Still, nothing beats having a firewall or...

Is routing setup between the subnets? So tenant A device on subnet 1 can communicate with tenant B device on subnet 2? If so then at a minimum you need to get access-lists in place to block the various tenant subnets from talking to one another.

Same here. It is hard to go wrong with UCS/VNX.

Congrats dude! We definitely need to meet up some time and hit the range.

A Nexus 5010 would be awesome however I am not going to spend that much on one. I have a friend who might be able to get me a Catalyst 4948 very cheap. If he can't get me that then I will check out the SG-300 and the HP 1810 that were mentioned. Thanks for the help guys.

So I have a new job where I will mainly be focusing on datacenter technologies. I will be installing Cisco Nexus and UCS in their various flavors as well as EMC products and VMware for my company's customers. I am wanting to setup a new home lab for VMware study and testing. I am looking at...

VLANs 2 and 3 are for wireless hosts. While only the DHCP pool was configured for them in the lab that was linked the WLC configuration for them will probably be in the next lab.

It sure does. I am putting in 16 hours a week just doing labs. Good luck with the CCNP. It is not that bad especially with the changes they made to it a while back with making it only 3 tests instead of 4. Back when I was going for the CCNP it was 4 tests and they actually had a specific...

Good luck with that. The CCNA has changed a lot since I took it back in 2001.

So I have passed the CCIE R&S written exam and have been studying pretty heavily for the lab. I was wondering if there are other CCIEs around that can offer some insight into how you all studied to prepare yourself for the lab. How many hours per week did you study, how did you know you were...

Does that VM have 2 hard disks on it? The VMDK with "_1.vmdk" is how VMware names multiple disks. The first disk created for the VM is named "Intervolve RAS.vmdk" The second disk will have _1 appended so "Intervolve RAS_1.vmdk", a third disk would have _2 appended, etc... You can use thin...

The purpose of IP Multicast Helper-Map is to for a router to take broadcast UDP packets and convert those packets into multicast packets so they can then be routed over the multicast network to the destination. The last hop router that is on the receiver end of things will then take those...

That should work for you. It has 16 active ports which is what you said you needed. The 9124 is a great switch. Edit: Just wanted to add that you should get 2. The VNX5100 has 2 storage processors so what you could do is take one port from each storage processor and connect it to each switch...

I am partial to MDS as well.

I have family down in Wilmington so I am down that way a lot. Wrightsville Beach is nice. It is my preferred beach to go to with my wife and son. I live close to Charlotte and there are many nice areas in and around it to live. I don't think you could go wrong with either place.

Yeah, Microsoft is the worst as far as trick questions.

For me it is about all of those, except for CoD. I like everything XB1 has to offer, other than the used game/DRM stuff, however I normally do not sell my games and I normally buy my games new from Amazon after a price drop. I have preordered both systems.

I passed the VCP510 today. Was easier than I expected. Next up CCIE R&S written. I have to renew my CCNP by the end of the year so I figured now is the time to move forward with the CCIE. I will say that I have taken many certification exams over the years, Cisco, Microsoft, Novell, ComTIA...

8GB RAM confirmed.

If vCenter server is running on a Windows server then you need to download the installation media for vCenter Server and run it from the server. You really should read through the documentation for 5.1. The main documents can be found here. There you can find upgrade guides as well as other...

Is reinstalling ESXi on each host not an option?

I would like to add on to what Child of Wonder said. A VMware training course is needed for the VCP certification and that training course does cost some money. I don't know what you have available in Toronto, but here in the States community colleges are becoming VMware Academies and they are...

Tony hit the nail on the head. At least get your CCNA and work towards VMware certifications. Having knowledge in both networking and virtualization will help with getting your foot in the door somewhere. In my current role I deal specifically with the datacenter with some standard networking...

Number 5 in line at walmart. They got 6 deluxe and 4 basic models in. Edit: Also the only game they had was SMBU.

I pre-ordered from Target over a week ago and I got an email from them this morning saying that my order was backordered.

I was able to get in on a pre-order at Target last week on the 8th. My order status is showing an estimated arrival on the 19th so hopefully I will get it then.

I think it ended up costing us 5k-6k to get our CX4 moved.

Thanks for the info. We will be involved with the move every step of the way. Fortunately the other datacenter is only 2 blocks away so it is not far at all. We have a NS-480 that was moved out to that location about 9 months ago. However that was under a support contract and we hired a 3rd...

Thanks. I am not sure if it is still under any support contract or not. We were talking about keeping support on it about a year ago however I don't know if we ever did. I hope our maintenance department can get it there in one piece. They aren't the most reliable group of people.

We have an older EMC CX3-10 array that is currently used for our test systems. Right now it is directly connected to our UCS Fabric Interconnects. We are wanting to move this array to our other datacenter so that we can utilize our UCS cluster over there since right now it is just for disaster...

I was going to try and go this year however I will be in Australia on vacation visiting the wife's family.

What Vader said. I recommend Scott Lowe's Mastering vSphere books as well as the VMware vSphere 4.1 HA and DRS Technical Deepdive and VMware vSphere 5 Clustering Technical Deepdive which are written by Duncan Epping and Frank Denneman. You will learn more by reading these books and applying the...

We have been a user of Avamar for over a year now and I would recommend it if it is in your budget. We have never had any problems with it. We use it to backup around 200 servers and 50 or so desktops.
