I’m still alive and well just been super busy over the past few months. I’m just about to start deploying our second data center utilizing Cisco Nexus 7010, 5010, and 2248s. This time around we’ll be utilizing a Ciena 5200 DWDM platform (formerly Nortel) managed by AboveNet to provide 4 10Gbps wavelengths between our primary and secondary data center. We’ll use 2 for our SAN and 2 for our MAN over which we’ll probably utilize vPC. On top of that huge project we’re physically relocating our offices (former Data Center) so I also need to plan all that work as well.

Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 Software Release v7.1.3.2

Avaya has released software v7.1.3.2 for the Ethernet Routing Switch 8600/8800.

  • Every 5 seconds, on a timer, the CPU sends the clock time to all the line cards. A timer was created each time a card came online, so when there are multiple IO cards, multiple messages were sent every 5 seconds to all cards. Eventually a lockup resulted, and when it was detected by the CPU, the chassis was reset. (wi00996291)

CentOS 6.2 KVM – VirtIO paravirtualized drivers for Windows

I’ve just recently been playing around with KVM on a HP DL360 running CentOS 6.2 x64. I had a very difficult time finding the VirtIO paravirtualized drivers for Windows in a virtual floppy format (vfd). I was looking for the vfd format so I could easily install the drivers in a Windows XP guest I was building and testing.

I’m going to post a link here to the file, not quite sure why it was pulled from RedHat’s site.

virtio-win-1.1.16.vfd (MD5SUM: 7437f5d81fc43e8da3be01802fa4e9fb)

Cheers!
