Thursday 6/12

8:30 - Sad Mark asks me if I got the questions answered that I had regarding minotaur work for Pooh.� My questions were related to how he wanted this SAN set.� Minotaur is something like an active/active cluster.� dsup on one wsmd on the other.� they want a nas head for this?� wtf?� these are Sun boxes.�

I thought I had the questions answered but then someone threw me off yesterday.� I asked the question about the nas head, but somehow got thrown off on the name.

Someone said in IM that we needed something done on "aster and not pine", and I thought they were talking about the SAN.� They weren't, it was related to the IWS testing going on at the time.� Got confused while multitasking.

It wasn't Forbes I talked to, I dont' know why Mr. T. asked him.

San needs to go on Pine.� The IWS testing was on Aster.� The ticket I opened for the SAN had aster in it.� Cancel that ticket and open a new set.

Need ticket for minotaur san add.� those will be cut up according to Pooh's needs.� No problem.� Yay Veritas.� Pine needs disk too.� Need to open a new ticket for that.� Haven't done it yet.

Then I need to figure out what the fuck he means by "a nas head" to follow the active node of the cluster.� That doesn't make any sense to me.� Why wouldn't I just add a shared san mount point to both servers where they could store data?� Why would they want a "nas head" ?

Tom says use NetApp filer.� But we dont' use any netapp and the budget is flat.� Make due with Clarion.

9am: fix Drews email into LM

PFF:

9:30ish - I shut down Petrel and pushed its RAM to 1536 and brought it back up.� I think I started the documentum services backward.� I dont' know if it matters.� I did docbroker after pffdev.� No complaints so far.

11- EMAIL - Mr. T. designates new Diagram Repos - favorited - drop visios there.

12:30 - Stewie Griffin copied me on some Networker upgrade project they've got going on in OPS.� As if I give half a damn.

1:30 sper-dooge sent me the contact info for a guy at NW who set up LDAP on Sol 9 to auth against the NW systems.� I need to mail him and ask for his docs.� it might make things slightly simpler if I already have the right configs or at least something to compare to.

2pm - Cartman sent out the ESX dataflow doc.� no fucking attachment. jackhole.

3pm - Cartman sends out the ESX Dataflow doc.�

�3:45 - Jamie sends confirm that she has generic acct forms for rsync etc.

    CORALINE's Interests:

    About Me: Little Plastic Castle is an extension of This Child's Life which is not hosted at inboxjournal. This blog will make little sense to anyone other than myself. It's a stream of consciousness log of what I do on a daily basis in my job as a UNIX computer systems engineer. o/~ "They say goldfish have no memory, I guess their lives are much like mine...so the little plastic castle is a surprise every time, and its hard to say if they're happy, but they don't seem much to mind." o/~ I endeavor to respect confidentiality and thus I use nicknames for the people I work with. (Mr. T, Ratface, Jerry, Cartman, Grandpa Simpson, Slick, and so on.) I drop system names in here and abbreviations, but any note that requires something like a FQDN will always be marked private. You can comment if you like, but I'll only respond if I feel like it.

    Interests: Cast of Characters: Just a few of the names I use for people, this is the nickname and what their job responsibility is. Mr. T - My Direct Manager (Engineering) Slick - ESX Specialist Cartman - Network Engineering Lead Grandpa Simpson - Network Engineer Becky - WebSphere Engineer Ratface - Developer/Architect Jerry - Project Manager (BTI) Matt T. - Project Manager (Blackbird) The Martian - Application Developer AVP Ice Queen - Engineering AVP Chez - Assistant to Ice Queen Watts - Engineering/Development Sr. Mgr.
