Merging and splitting tickets

is it just me or is this percentage a bit worrying??

Budget lab :D

@dafyre messaged me today and i must say what he said is ture.

Crap happening is a good way to find out who your real friends are

Also from a post on Spiceworks about stress and the over wheming response by people got me thinking and i need to say this,

I guess some people have guessed something is up in my life, i'll give you the basics. Wife has cheated on me, we are trying to get our heads straight see if we are going to give it another go (well she's still thinking i know i want her lol)

Anyway i have been messaged by so many "strangers" over the last few weeks makes me so glad to be part of two great communities that people will offer tips/advice and even direct message you to check how your doing.
What makes this even more special to me is the fact NONE (none is a bit harsh, maybe two but one i'm staying with at the moment.) of my so called friends around me havn't even messaged me to see how i've been doing for the last 2 months.

Well thats enough Emotional stuff for one night lol.

@notverypunny said in Deploying firmware updates on servers and testing...:

For hardware / chassis management Dell's openmanage enterprise is pretty useful. I'd suggest giving it a look if you've got a big Dell footprint to look after. Should be available for download when you check for downloads with any recent service tag. If you can't find it let me know and I'll see if I can find a direct link.

Yeah I installed and got that running few weeks ago, not gone through the whole thing.
At the moment we only have 5 servers, just need to add our SAN's and a few more servers once I've repurpose them

Found the faulty area on the graphics card.
Just need to find the little smd bugger that's causing the issue 😁😁😝

I'll have a look tomorrow, I got one setup but on a single server.
But might help.

Yeah i would still use Velcro just thought that was nice to look at.
Maybe if they had a Velcro version.

@hobbit666 never do anything permanent like this

Its not permanent just snip the cable :D lol

@eleceng said in Need to Purchase a New Switch What Cisco Family?:

what would be my best vendor? Prefer someone online.

You'll get a few different views on this as everyone will have their "preferred" manufacturer of switches.
Like Edgeswitch, Unifi, TP-Link, Netgear etc etc

Personally I've been getting a few TP-Link Jetstream range, they have a central management solution.
But also like Dell for our main infrastructure, only had to phone them maybe 2 times in the last 6 odd years and support and always been quick and polite.

Saw this and thought it was a good idea

Think I've found the fault on the graphics card.
Will have to wait for the weekend now so I can transform my desk into a soldering desk 😁

@stuartjordan said in Need to Purchase a New Switch What Cisco Family?:

@eleceng I'm just curious why the sudden change to Cisco?

Most probably a "Recommendation" from the DCS people. Same happened to us, they recommended Cisco for everything. We went Netgear :)

Woop got myself a Hakko 951 soldering iron for the job too, if i find the issue on that graphics card
