a 10 dollar PCI card to provide USB2.0 will work in an HP DL380. Even tho' all the slots are PCI-X. This makes life much easier when the trying to hook up an external usb hdd. USB1.1 does not cut it for a hdd.
what did you learn today?

DB Maintenance Plans are generally a good idea and this
is not good.
Code:
- Logical Scan Fragmentation ..................: 80.84%
- Extent Scan Fragmentation ...................: 23.15%I just learned that I should periodically check for new versions of my netapp documentation. v4.4 only had 75 pages while v4.5.2 has 95 pages.
Thanks for the heads up.
I remember taking a simple networking class when I first started college. One day we were taught how to make networking cable by making our own cable. At the end of the day, the teacher asked the class: "What did we learn today?" He then answered his question by replying: "We learned why we buy network cable. The machines do it faster and better than we do. Class dismissed."Originally posted by Incarnate:
I learned this a while ago, but you can order cables in pretty much any length you want, and its usually cheaper than paying a system engineer $25-$50/hour wasting time doing that. ----
I still remember that very clearly. --
--I learned that EVC for a vmware cluster cannot be enabled while vm's are running, but it sure as hell can be disabled. Sucks to be me since I need it enabled.
SnapDrive doesn't like it when the filer's time is 5-6 mins ahead. Setting the filer's time properly fixes it.
I made points with the boss.

For some reason Windows 7 doesn't like our wireless network and won't connect. Sure wish I could have known that before the boss needs the laptop in a couple hours.
When dealing with a dell tech over chat sometimes specifically stating the problem, the solution and what the tech should do next is not enough. This latest endeavor with Dell chat leads me to a simple conclusion: Having the dell tech remote my machine and then prove to himself that I was correct the entire time is one of the best feelings. Vindication is sinfully sweet.
I also learned that the Dell repair depot will (at their whim) change your wlan card model.

The 256GB file size limit on vmfs is very annoying and I believe it is preventing my snapshot ability.
I learned that I am lucky I don't have to deal with a user that flat out refuses to use the company issued Dell desktop and instead brings in his personal macbook and uses sugarsync to send files from his macbook on the guest network to his desktop that sits in the corner of his office... Well, I do have to deal with it a bit, although it's more along the lines of: hey jaericho, block this ip from the guest network. (1 day later) hey jaericho, this guy is smarter than we thought, he must have switched to static address and gave himself a different ip, block this one too. (1 day later) hey jaericho, wanna see something funny, he gave himself another ip but this one is outside the subnet, so its not working <snicker> oh he went back down 20 addresses and found one that works, lets block it again.
(Then we had our own facepalm moment and realized a mac address filter is better idea.)
Then the director of marketing (his employee is using the mac) and the director of IT almost came to blows over all this 3 offices down from my cube.
I love being the passive-agressive networking guy. This strategy is winning.

I'm in this boat. Even though the software is better and probably doesn't require local admin rights anymore, just try to take this away. If we did this, we'd have a 'cultural revolution' to deal with.daldrich":hwjzoaig said:
