I hate it when my boss says that. Or he will call it "D-RAC". Annoys the hell out of me.
It's iDRAC.
Yes, there are components that are called RAC, but the Dell out of band management system is called iDRAC.
... but that's not as dumb as when he calls the SuperMicro system "iLO". That's IPMI. We don't even own any HPE. I've no idea why he's stuck on iLO.
I keep a Windows 2008 w Java 6 VM on ice for administering old Java console shit like that.
The VM is unsafe as hell. Completely virgin unpatched. The only protection is that I don't give it a gateway or dns, and I shut it down when its not in use.
And it works. Old Java shit can still be used.
VMware does this with its virtual networking. If a change takes it offline, it automatically rolls it back. It can be frustrating at times, but mostly its saved my ass.
This is the NetAdmin's problem. And he's got 3 ways to get into the datacenter, so he goddamn well better have an answer that doesn't involve airfare. Worst case, he's gotta use remote hands, but that would be embarrassing, and I'd not let him forget it. Nobody forgives me when I screw up a server cluster, so he gets no latitude when he takes a datacenter offline.
Never buying Ubi again. Doesn't matter what the game is. Fukem.
The octopi that take over after us will love to hear from our tasty new neighbors.
What's so complicated? The answer is "Yes." And again, "Yes."
Well that's just it. You might know Joe. You just don't know.
I guess this does matter to me, because every time i see new reddit, I take the requisite 10 seconds to retype the URL and change to old reddit. I never log in anymore, but I do make sure its old reddit.
This was the good kind. The gear moved the head cleaner back and forth like a brush.
Ok, this is a shitpost community. I should not expect a real answer here. But I'm gonna float this question and see what people say.
This person has (of course) spammed me multiple times from apparently (just?) 2 different accounts now. nicole9@l.henlo.fi bogymanstout@quokk.au
Ok. So its spam. I block it. But what on earth is going on? This doesn't seem to make sense. I assume somebody has actually tried to talk to this Nicole person. How did that go?
Mmm. Ya ya. No argument. But its iDRAC. I've had to sit through enough propaganda. I'm pretty sure about this.
