Well - continuing down the fan spin up, spin down saga - Today HP had me send them logs from iLo. Those logs showed that I am using a NIC firmware that they have since pulled (but it was in the service pack DVD ISO - so WTF?). They want me to downgrade the NIC firmware.

Of course, the single install file for NIC firmware is gui based, and even though you can extract the dozen or so files from the installer and run them direct, they don't have instructions for doing so.

So now I'm stuck downloading and old Service Pack DVD ISO so I can boot from that and downgrade my firmware. oh boy!

Doesn't Ubiquiti have something for this? There was some vendor that I looked at in the last year that had nice options and now I cannot remember who it was.

If I'm looking at $200 entry fee for just a networked temperature sensor, well, a Raspberri Pi with a $3 temp sensor and $.10 resistor looks real good.

Knowing how Ubiquiti does things, they probably drop the DIY route off the cost curve. Yep, looked at B+H Looks like you can get a temp sensor on the network for ~$96, which you'd be at or over that price just for components of a DIY kit.

I don't think so. I know the 360 edition requires it's own servers over Xbox Live... I was fairly certain the PS3 edition could only connect to other PS3s and the maybe the PS Vita.

Here is the thread with the fix.: http://mangolassi.it/topic/7605/installing-pocketmine-minecraft-pe-server-on-centos-7

Isn't this a client who was fired? Problem fixed!

Yup... unfortuneatley the client refused to put in the hardware and required all updates to all machines be shut off, and requested all machines be rolled back from 10 that he hated....

@olivier can you please give us a quick guide on how to update to to the lastest version if your running from source?

http://mangolassi.it/topic/7584/xen-orchestra-upgrading/2

@scottalanmiller You should also include cloud-init

https://cloudinit.readthedocs.org/en/latest/

That's definitely very slow.

thank you guys, you are right the citrix PV ethernet Adapter was not installed, one window keep pop up telling that one driver is missing, i followed next next then finally the PV driver was installed 🙂

thank you

I'm mainly doing it just to get some experience with XenServer. That's the only Hypervisor I don't get to play with on a regular basis. I'll keep it a month or two and let it go, most likely.... This will help me to decide if I want to switch my home server to XenServer (it'd be a lot of effort at the moment).

@MattSpeller How?

I don't see one posted on their site actually.... very odd

Since it's a torrent it's probably included in the folder.

Yes. right here

really? you trust what's included? That doesn't seem very secure.

Of course. it is no different than trusting the website itself. Both could be hijacked if you are that paranoid about it.

Whatever happened to doing these discussion rooms?

Repos came back up last night. Must have been a SourceForge issue. Maybe they had a server down or something.

Looks like the topic ran away from me...been swamped with other things this past week...glad to see it made for good conversation.

Extract the contents of O15CTRRemove.diagcab (winrar/7 Zip)

wscript OffScrub15_015msi.vbs all

I think my issue was that in my environment, I already had Office 2010 installed. For some reason a wmic command to uninstall Office 2010 wouldn't work, but this tool does.

Damn you NFS-Common!!

That was it.

All working!

Good to hear!

Yes, that would work well. Also checking in the same version should not trigger a new version to be created. So the encryption malware would need to alter the file in addition to encrypting it each time or else it would fail even with the incrementing numbers.

In a typical over provisioned system (you can think of any folder-based filesystem as being this way too) you have many VMs, not just one or two. Once you have, say, a dozen it is trivial to over provision safely. You do this by a few means:

Reporting and alerting so that systems growing rapidly are addressed. Maintaining caps that are large enough for flexibility but small enough so that if X VMs spiral out of control it will not be an issue. The X factor here is to be determined based on your risk and risk aversion. If you have, say, a dozen VMs, you might have the cap set so that ten VMs could expand to maximum but not all twelve. If any two VMs don't have an issue, you would be all set. Or maybe you'd set it for six. You don't overprovision to where any VM could use the entire space, it just doesn't make sense.

You got any examples, because I've never come across anyone saying these things?

I've seen (and been involved in) discussions where people seem to interpret "I have a different opinion to you" to mean "I am insane and deliberately put my company at risk", but that's not the same thing.

There was one last night that brought up the topic, but it is common. It is normally an emotional reaction to reasoning. I'll give a solid one from long ago not associated with any community.... a director was presented with a vendor selling a product that was known to not work and was going to cause a major project to fail and was presented with an internally tested, known working solution that was essentially free. When shown that the cost difference was only a million dollars he responded "I don't sign paper for only a million dollars."

Not only did he use that statement to funnel a million dollars to a vendor that he knew couldn't do the job, he let a project fail too!
