I was confused by the demo today at VMworld. I'm extremely enthused about AppBlast (since last year), but not if it requires us to maintain our Citrix infrastructure.

About the only new info I can find on AppBlast is that they are hiring. Anyone heard any news on how much longer the wait will be? Spill the beans lopoetve!!!

We're in process of setting up/testing/etc our VNX. It's primary purpose will soon be View desktops, but for now will be server VMs plus file duties. We have a 5300 with 20 600GB 15K, 5 2TB NL-SAS and 5 100GB flash. Right now, the flash (minus hotspare) is used for fast cache, and the rest...

I'm planning a View deployment using an EMC VNX and NFS. I'm new to using NFS with VMware so I'm curious about backup solutions. In our VMware server environment (FC), we just use Backup Exec w/VMware license - works great. How do you do backups for your View environments? I'm aware there...

I just noticed while looking for the latest client, there is now a 64bit client! I've installed and tested it, and it does work. Am I the only one that just noticed this?

In our VMware cluster, we're looking to expand the capacity by getting some more enclosures. I know we've got a few people here that use these so I figured it'd be the best place to ask - Simple question, can hotspares be used across enclosures? For example, assume DS3400 + 2 EXP3000s...

My org just purchased 2 of these that we're stuck with, and I'll just leave it at I don't recommend them. My biggest pain is that the Backspace key (nor Delete) do not behave as normal. After entering text (Putty) pressing Backspace does nothing. I figured out I can press Alt+Backspace to...

We had a supervisor module die (which happeded to the be the stanby at the time), which I now have a (used) replacement for. I'm a little gunshy of the replacement because I'm not sure how the router config part will work. This is an older 6509 chassis that is EOL, no smartnet, which leaves me...

Anyone know of a program similar to ntop that will show usage over time? Realtime data is nice, but I need to know more about what is happening over time, on a per IP basis. I'm already using Cacti to monitor interfaces, but it can't track flows per user to hosts on the net. I'm fearing...

I just recently purchased an ASA5505 w/smartnet. I see now that I have access, you can download images for what I assume is basically all cisco hardware. Since I also own an 851W, although without a contract - I'm betting it is at least frowned upon if not outright prohibited for me to...

What do you guys use for keeping track of user rights? I don't mean as in auditing for it, I mean as in record keeping. Think onboarding/termination process. I'd like to track stuff like - Windows domain user info Group memberships Novell user info Applications rights + it needs to be...

Unfortunately, we don't have any Cisco certified gurus on staff - so I have to try my best to help us limp along. Thanks in advance for any help... I have a vendor that we already have a L2L tunnel setup with that now needs access to another host here. We've got a PIX running 7.0(4). From...

Anyone else having problems with the IE8 first run wizard coming up repeatedly even after you've completed it? It seems to do it once a day now.

Ah the old show mac-address-table command. And how it fails me on some of my Nortel switches. Of course the idea here is simple, using this command - get the MAC of the device plugged into a port. Then on the router look at the arp table for the MAC, and viola - you have the IP of the...

Backup Exec and vSphere - how's it work? Before we shell out $5K for a couple of BE VI agents, does anyone know how it works with vSphere? In googling around, I saw an 'opinion' from one guy that thought that VCB would be going away and instead replaced by the Data Recovery API. Can...

I'm not able to get gigabit speeds with Netware running on ESX. I'm using the PCNTNW.LAN drivers. Speeds seem to be only 100Mb... Any ideas? Everything else on the host (other VMs) have no issues with network speeds.

I've been trying for several days now to get into the site - but it appears to be down. Anyone else having any luck? It's a real pain in the @#$ - it always seems to be down when I need it!

Got a new error I can't get much info on "cimserver: Cannot parse software release date for controller 0". Happens every 1 min 30 sec. Anyone else run across this? It seems to be preceded by this event "cimserver: trying to popen /sbin/modprobe edd 2>&1" Happens on 2 different ESX hosts...

How can I filter packets between two points in time? I'm testing nmap bandwidth usage and want to analyse during the times that it is bursting...

I've got a stack of 2 5520s with MLTs configured (split across each unit). When I test for a failure by unplugging the top unit, I lose all connectivity for about 15-30 seconds, and then it recovers. (My desktop is plugged into the bottom unit) First thought was STP, but I can turn off STP on...

How can I verify in 3.5 if disk write caching is enabled? The lun on the SAN is set to enable but I'm having some bad performance issues - Read = 349MB/s, Write = 90MB/s. Any clues?

Well I'm looking for help here after being turned away by IBM. To keep it short - write speeds are not what I'd expect them to be. For the purpose of simplicity, I'll only discuss one server in question. I have setup two example luns, one on a 5 300GB 15K SAS disk RAID5 array, another on...

CatOS 7.2 - not sure if there is a command to show what the input voltage to the power supplies is. show environment power does not show this, only usage/capacity. Ideas?

Why not? Also, should I be concerned about LUN thrashing using RR with an active/passive array? We've got 2 hbas/blade, 2 switches, 2 hbas/storage processor.

lopoetve - In another thread you spoke adamantly against using extents, just curious as to why. If you hadn't mentioned it I'd be tempted to use them...

VMware, with 2 ESX 3.5 hosts using Virtual Center server. For any of my vm's it takes approximately 5+ minutes to power on/off. No startup delays, no memory reservation issues. Any other ideas?

Just curious on VCB backup throughput in the wild. I'm setting up a new environment and I'm not all that impressed with the speed. Average is 1.25GB/m, but fluctuates between .6 - 2.9GB/m. I'd be happy overall with 3+, but I know the system is capable of 5+ from the local file system...

Looking at my options for a rules management user interface, web UI best, but not necessary. Found SnortCenter - however the project looks to be dead in the water. What do you use - if any? This is for at the house, so it must be free.

Ok, all you pro security nuts. How/(can) do you handle detecting SSL VPNs? For instance, using my SSL Explorer setup here at the house, I can easily punch a hole right through any proxy I've tried, allowing me to say browse the net unfiltered, upload files, download files, even create a...

Anyone know of any resources about advanced terminal usage stuff for leopard? I come from linux so I'm looking for more advanced things to do in it. Unfortunately I have no FreeBSD experience. For instance, I just ssh'd into my wife's mac - and was going to tell it to restart networking but...

I keep seeing this one come up -...
