7 rule

Portuguese saying: o saber não ocupa espaço(the knowlgede does not occupies space)
my 7 rule: the knowledge occupies the space of ignorance .(Marcos Silva 1993 "me")

migration from hyperv cluster to vmware

i have 90% of my infrastructure virtualized windows 2008 r2 enterprise in hyper v is a pain in the... to virtualize you have to install the new 4.2 converter standalone... every thing else just fails my advice is do a cold clone not a hotclone...
i have used hyperv but know this the performance is nothing near what you can achieve with vmware but i cost about as much...
i cut about 14000 watts per hour of power of my bill and i turned off one air conditioner unit.. thats green it enough for you?
and planing to migrate all 120 desktops to thin clients progressively...
my 5 rule: first use what you got then use what you can then buy new and redo all over again...

powerline saves the but..

callet it a friend got a 2 floor house that is made of solid concrete and between the floors is 1.2meters thick... wireless form one floor to the other is impossible you cant pass a cable wire utp... so... your screwed or not powerline to the rescue just plug to the wall insert the utp cable in the router wireless the other end in the powerline go to the other floor and connect the other powerline adapter and connect to a acess point its about 20 bucks a smc access point and thats it.. the beauty is that you can ad an 3rd adapter now and its 1gpbs speed... i got the belkin powerline hd starter kit... ah sience...

Exchange 2010 sp1

i hate the sp1 update...
i had to reboot the servers 15 times because the sp1 does not come with the updates for the update(yes really) you have to download some updates and reboot the server consequence:
maintenance window shot to dead i had predicted 3 hours it took 12 hours... reboots search and download the update copy paste the urls...
it sucks...
cmon its the next ipad ipod touch era.. not the msdos era of dman powershell damn i hate powershell...
i have EXCHANGE SERVER 2010 ENTERPRISE and i have to know some powershell...
ah... almost forgot use a good backup restore solution when things go bad in exchage your better be prepared in exchange 2007 it was a relative easy procedure to restore a single mailbox believe me i done it a couple of times in exchange 2010 its a murder... its powershell
warnings:
do not deactive an account you can only activated in powershell and its a killer..
do not change the name of the mailbox... or else your screwed...
if you have exchange 2010 virtualize do a clone and test a complete recovery like a complete failure...

Cisco

well..
Cisco there is a serious matter, S. Conrado BMW, MINI Portugal has been very damage with Cisco to say the least history just some of the things i remeber:
we have a CUCMBE MCS 7828i K9 BE and the motherboard failed no phones for 3 days and we have a contract...
the day that the system was finally somewhat finished the CUCMEBE died..
i bought 3 phones with license and the licenses never shown up..
i bought an Cisco IP 7941 the phone came with the screen cracked up...
i bought 40 licenses and only 10 worked the email came from Cisco and 3 licenses i couldn't activated them.
i had my CUCM for 6 months in demo mode... and the license never came in the packaged
my cucm server took 8 weeks to come and i had a MCS Server with a motherboard damaged and ad to coope with it...
i had my firewall ASA 5100 replaced 3 times and the last time came without the security plus license the asa 5100 rebooted spontaneously...
that is just the tip of the iceberg i have all my network router switches phones there are all CISCO... 

VMware

we have a VMware Vpshere enterprise with  3 servers as cluster and 2 servers with a windows 2008 r2 enterprise with sql sever 2008 r2 enterprise we use Navision and an IBM AS400 system.

i am a CIO with about 50 users and some of them i have a windows 2000 professional and most of them have Windows XP and i dont know if i want to upgrade or migrate most of them to openthinclient its a great server..

it runs really nice in vmware.. i have about 10 servers virtualized and 7 "hard servers" its a IBM BladeCenter E with 7 blades 4 HS21 and 3 HS22 fully loaded and 1 DS3400 with and EXP300 with 24 disk of 300gb 15k. and a ibm tape TS3100 l4 with 14 tapes 800gb and arcserver 15 fully automated backup.

thin up your fat desktops

if you have vmware cmon on the vmplayer its free and its good now...
go to http://www.openthinclient.org/ and download the applaince for vmware just deploy the ovf its super easy...
then go to the apps and you will see an rdp deskop link just publish it...
go to any pc or use a vmware player to test it out boot via pxe and it will boot a openthinclient os you can use terminal client for windows and save a lot of money in licensing and pain in the neck "oh my system dosent boot"
its a good backup for a pc to boot up thinlcient os and then use a terminal sever for users to have some sort of backup for them to work on and you if you want to realy save money just buy some thin clients its about 50 bucks a chip pc or a wyse... its preloaded with an os but you can boot from the openthinclient os...
