  1. Would like a real performance comparison of #Intel "ET" Cards verse #Broadcom 5708's for network intensive systems. Is 5708 good enough?
  2. Performance testing #Dell R710 Servers, replacing PE2900's as our standard #vmware esx box - good 2U RM + Kit, CPU/RAM - Unsure of BCM5709's
  3. RT @palm Laptop Steering Wheel Desk http://bit.ly/63NPaE
  4. Brief flapping for 15 min on one ESX Server - Switch disabled one port in etherchannel trunk, ESX didn't notice and kept sending traffic
  5. Added 2 new Dell R710 Servers to Datacenter Today - ESX Server to run critical VM's outside cluster + New Backup/Archive Server
  6. Happily testing round robin I/O policies in the #vsphere sw iscsi driver for dell md3000i's.
  7. Hold off deploying distributed virtual switches for #vsphere? Bugs, vms can not be created w/o vcenter, 3rd party appliances lack support.
  8. Thin provisioning apparently is a great benefit in combating #vmware per lun iscsi reservation limits - dedicate free space to new luns.
  9. Performing cross generational firmware upgrade of several Dell MD3000i iSCSI SAN Arrays, Last 30hrs spent supervising svmotions
  10. vsphere testing/deployments - distributed virtual switches, 4.0.1 updates, and intel "ET" generation gigE quad port nics
  11. Dell md3000i apparently has a bug where if you add a new host to a hostgroup it will freeze up briefly while updating iscsi access lists
  12. RT @palm webOS 1.3.1 update now available: http://bit.ly/1B3dpF [release notes have details on yahoo IM + email mgmt improvements]
  13. DeployLinux Announces Enhancements to Server Monitoring Services: http://bit.ly/15ngO4
  14. @taosecurity PADS, the passive asset detection system used by SGUIL, has been hanging once/week for last 2 months. Disabling it. #sguil
  15. @mihtjel #zabbix is working out great here, I've supported BB / hobbit / Xymon for over 15 years now. No longer. Zabbix is my new master.
  16. Ubuntu landscape services for $12.5/month/VM List Pricing seems much cheaper than RHEL per VM + Satellite Subscriptions
  17. Possibly looking into increasing support for Ubuntu LTS releases here, need to compare landscape functionality versus RH Satellite
  18. We've started to phase out our primary monitoring system, hobbit, in exchange for Zabbix. Great support on #zabbix IRC channel.
  19. Conf call scheduled with RedHat tommorrow, need to refine rhel licensing costs before dense vmware deployments send them through roof.
  20. Excellent call w/ #EnterpriseDB today, working on being able to offer professional postgresql plus advanced server support to our clients.
