It's just SNMP, and you get the interfaces, which we've had trouble with in the office lately, and you also get the CPU and memory on the device which is pretty much good enough. I'd like to keep a log of changes to the device, but we more or less get that with Traps. I need to set up the the mib translations both to do it, and so we see better messages for the traps we get.<div><br /></div><div>Today, i want to get Exchange set up and show it around and maybe WMware if Dave can help me with it.</div><div><br /></div><div>I'm also setting up Ubuntu on my laptop. I'm setting up Cisco VPN client so I need to install the Linux headers so it can compile the module. I got Cisco vpn working with just the network vpn that came with Ubuntu. I imported the cisco.pcf and voila!</div>Harper Mannhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07292942571911171944noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11450854.post-71259894598342756032009-06-12T10:39:00.000-07:002009-06-12T10:42:11.191-07:00Exchange High AvailabilityWe've run across two large customers. One runs many Exchange servers with a limit of 800 users per instance and the other runs large HA clusters. The latter has many outside domains it must maintain. I'm wondering about the differences in the two approaches. It's possible the non-HA customer implemented before HA was stable with Exchange. I'd like to compare and contrast the two techniques and get an idea of where each one fits in large IT organizationsHarper Mannhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07292942571911171944noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11450854.post-72815576496703008352008-02-15T11:18:00.001-08:002008-02-15T11:18:59.958-08:00RH ISOssmb://ftw/dropbox/<br> Harper Mannhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07292942571911171944noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11450854.post-69864487108071565842007-11-05T14:03:00.001-08:002007-11-05T15:46:31.083-08:00More testing info<a href="http://www.teamst.org/">http://www.teamst.org/</a><br /><a href="http://www.google.com/Top/Computers/Programming/Software_Testing/Products_and_Tools/Open_Source/">http://www.google.com/Top/Computers/Programming/Software_Testing/Products_and_Tools/Open_Source/ </a><br /><br />Eclipse TPTP looks interesting<br /><br />It seems like Dart is decent but perhaps something like DejaGNU is good as well.<br />Not finding an obvious best choiceHarper Mannhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07292942571911171944noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11450854.post-23879676874580482542007-08-21T10:24:00.000-07:002007-08-21T10:25:17.669-07:00Green Sever Centers?I'm getting interested in Greening server centers.

I don't get why everyone thinks IP resides in other than the people who create IP. None of the technical items last for more than a few minutes these days as IP in some grand document system or something. Very few companies have original enough ideas that they can be protected, in any reasonable sense of the word, for any significant time. I suppose you can protect them with the Copyright laws, but the data you write is old and dead after just a few months so what do you have then? The only IP interesting to anyone now is a collaborative interaction with others. This is why Wiki has become so important. The point that there are comments and the documents live and are updated as new ideas and new information arrive. It's to the point where technical people won't use technical books more than say 2 years old because they are out-of-date, and the projects they describe have moved on: either with more and better features or just different, and generally more efficient ways to do things. IP won't sit still for the poor investors any more. It's all new and looks like it will remain that way permanently. There is no foreseeable end and in fact, it looks like it will get more dynamic as new ways to manage change are created. It's time to "think differently" about IP.Harper Mannhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07292942571911171944noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11450854.post-1160641063197806012006-10-12T01:17:00.000-07:002006-10-26T17:28:53.763-07:00Harper Mannhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07292942571911171944noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11450854.post-1122595955230141492005-07-28T17:12:00.000-07:002005-07-28T17:13:01.706-07:00What does the second post look likeWell, it should look like this.<br /><br />- HarperHarper Mannhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07292942571911171944noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11450854.post-1122595394890722482005-07-28T16:58:00.000-07:002005-07-28T17:03:14.896-07:00<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/737/930/1600/faultyschematics.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/737/930/320/faultyschematics.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/737/930/1600/animedude.gif"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/737/930/320/animedude.gif" border="0" /></a><br />Okey, then, here is some Blog.
