      @wirestyle22 inherited that nightmare.

      This is true... But getting some training is rarely a bad thing. 8-)

      I agree. Training and documentation are key once this fire is fully out.

                  That's the one time I normally keep up best.

                    Things to do.
                    Replace the core switch with 1 GB or better
                    Fix DHCP so it gives out two DNS hosts
                    Make sure both (or more) DNS servers are working/syncing

                      Less normal daily work I'm guessing for you. I'm just not on the computer or phone much on the weekends.

                        So what was the status of this from yesterday?

                        • IPOD
                        • VM Restored and powers on
                        • Still having DNS/DHCP issues?

                                No, that is not the correct solution.

                                  Well the issue with that is that it's a major change. That's a great idea, but it's a major change and one he is not prepared to do. Replacing the SAN is a drop in replacement and he could move from a device that isn't plausible to use in a scenario like this to one that is. It's a huge amount of money, but that's a spend that they committed to before he was there. Moving to an HDS, EMC, 3PAR or Nimble is a drop in change that would fix a lot of things.

                                    it's a plan that the previous IT was committed to. Management only because they were probably sold a bill of goods because they put their trust in the wrong person. But we don't actually know any of those details.

                                      I'm interested in hearing why these would make a good alternative to the SAN and IPOD?

                                        I have read this entire thread (albeit over a lot of time) I don't know the piece of equipment "IPOD" as it is referenced in this thread. I figure it is not an Apple device. Could someone clarify? 😊

                                          An IPOD is an architectural system design. Where you have 1 storage node (usually a SAN) and two servers. The entire setup is configured so that the servers sit up at the top, with no storage capabilities, and the SAN at the bottom.

                                          Often the two servers are connected together with two switches and then the servers are connected to the single SAN.

                                          The term IPOD means Inverted Pyramid of Doom, the term refers to the fact that if the connection to the SAN or the SAN its self goes belly up, you lose all functionality of the system.

                                          It's a commonly sold design because it has huge profit margins, two compute only servers, the switches, and the SAN.
