| 18:07.47 | _psychic_ | anyone know how to redirect STDOUT to a var? |
| 18:32.57 | mindjuju | all you administrators in the house, i got a question and a possible solution, want to see if it makes since or if you have a better idea. |
| 18:33.17 | mindjuju | i want to ghost this 2k3 server before I deploy it. it's on a dl360 |
| 18:33.49 | tierra | alright, there is a better way... put linux on it |
| 18:33.57 | tierra | ;P |
| 18:34.06 | mindjuju | now, symantec ghost says it doesn't like RAID and if i want to ghost, i have to do all this crazy stuff to get a ghost image, and then it's chancy that it may not work |
| 18:34.14 | mindjuju | so... here is my solution |
| 18:35.02 | mindjuju | since the drives are mirrored, and hotswap, if i take out one of the drives now and put a blank one in, the original of the pair will rebuild the new drive added |
| 18:35.32 | mindjuju | and if both drives die in the new pair, pull out the member of the old pair put it in and have it rebuild |
| 18:35.36 | mindjuju | thus "ghosting" |
| 18:36.34 | tierra | dd -if /dev/md0 -of mybackup.iso ;P |
| 18:37.02 | tierra | mindjuju: I'm not sure that'd even work |
| 18:37.16 | tierra | (not my joke solution, but your idea) |
| 18:37.24 | mindjuju | really? bummer |
| 18:37.30 | mindjuju | you know what i mean, though, right? |
| 18:38.19 | tierra | yeah, but your RAID is just going to look at it as the new drive you just put in |
| 18:38.36 | tierra | well, I guess it depends on what kind of RAID it is and how it works |
| 18:38.50 | tierra | but that's not something to take a bet on |
| 18:39.04 | mindjuju | RAID 1 + 0 |
| 18:40.21 | mindjuju | hmmm... technically, if i yank both drives out and can boot on what was once drive... i'll have to test it out, but can see your point of concern |
| 18:41.05 | tierra | if you have the spare drives, it'd be interesting to toss it through a test run |

| 19:40.01 | fungus | mindjuju: Is it a hardware raid, or software? |
| 19:40.21 | fungus | If it is a hardware raid, you should consult the documentation for the card. |
| 19:42.50 | fungus | I think your idea could work, but it would probably take some work with the raid tools that come with your card when you do the restore. |
| 19:43.32 | fungus | Also, when you pull out the drive for offline backup, and put in a new one to rebuild mirror, during the rebuild, you are at risk of failure. |
| 20:08.58 | dataw0lf | I doubt if it will work. |
| 20:09.35 | dataw0lf | it's dependent on what RAID hardware you're using, but I've got a slew over here, and have worked on more, and it's probably not going to work. |

| 20:48.10 | mindjuju | well, the RAID control is the one that is built into the dl360, i'll look it up to see what the chip is |
| 20:48.59 | mindjuju | i pulled the first drive out and it did boot off the second, though it did give notice saying it didn't detect the first to which i just had to hit f2 to tell it it was ok |
| 20:49.31 | mindjuju | i put the first slot scsi back in and it just said it wanted to rebuild, so i told it it was fine and to go ahead |
| 20:50.28 | mindjuju | i'm going to need a spare drive anyways, in case of failure, so i'll test it when the new one gets in |
| 20:50.35 | mindjuju | it's hardware based, fungus |
| 20:51.01 | mindjuju | i'm putting money on it working - maybe we should have a poll? |
| 20:52.44 | dataw0lf | put me down for no way. |
| 20:55.11 | mindjuju | k, i've got $10 from dataw0lf saying no |
| 20:55.16 | mindjuju | :) |
| 20:55.41 | mindjuju | i'm supposing you'll want film or to come down here to see it? |
| 21:00.50 | dataw0lf | it's working? |
| 21:17.31 | mindjuju | have to order a drive to test |
| 21:17.41 | mindjuju | so it'll prolly take a week and a half to get the drive |
| 21:18.50 | mindjuju | unless you have a hotswap 72.8g 10k spin ultra320 scsi laying about |
| 21:19.15 | mindjuju | i need a spare drive for this anyways, just hain't gotten around to getting it |
| 21:28.37 | dataw0lf | yes I do |
| 21:28.42 | dataw0lf | actually |
| 21:28.43 | dataw0lf | mine are 15k |
| 21:28.54 | mindjuju | dag! got one upped! |
| 21:28.59 | dataw0lf | heh |
| 21:29.19 | dataw0lf | http://dataw0lf.phonese.cx/comments.php?607 |
| 21:29.20 | mindjuju | dag! i thought mine were l337! |
| 21:29.26 | dataw0lf | what do you think these are filled with? |
| 21:29.42 | dataw0lf | I got 4 of dem raids. |
| 21:29.57 | dataw0lf | along with probably 12 different raids of various types scattered around. |
| 21:31.00 | dataw0lf | but yea, those drives cost quite a bit. |
| 21:36.01 | mindjuju | so what is that system used for? |
| 21:39.41 | mindjuju | wow, saw your pic of the postgame of halo2 |
| 21:40.50 | mindjuju | dataw0lf, that girl on page 2 of your pix, is that the one you were saying was always "clingy" |
| 21:44.53 | dataw0lf | the RAID system? for storing TIF files while they're in the process of being edited by our compilers and engineers. |
| 21:45.03 | dataw0lf | mindjuju: no, that was one of the crazy ones |
| 21:45.40 | dataw0lf | and there are two separate girls on the 2nd page |
| 21:45.51 | dataw0lf | the girl with the spiderman blanket was the crazy one |
| 21:45.58 | dataw0lf | the other one you can barely make out is just a buddy's little sister |
| 21:46.05 | mindjuju | yeah, 2 pics of one laying on the couch and one sitting upright in some kind of chair |
| 21:46.40 | *** join/#uphpu RyanE (n=ryan@rberick.dsl.xmission.com) |
| 21:47.12 | dataw0lf | yea, the 2 pics of the girl laying on the couch is the crazy chick who threw a coffee mug at my head while I was in bed |
| 21:47.38 | mindjuju | what the... ? |
| 21:47.40 | dataw0lf | she woke up and couldn't find her earrings and told me to help her and I told her I was going to in a minute |
| 21:47.51 | dataw0lf | she went crazy because I didn't jump when she said jump and threw a coffee mug at my head |
| 21:48.07 | dataw0lf | my boot would've been in her ... if she hadn't left right away. |
| 21:48.10 | mindjuju | did you kick her out right then, or did you let her find her earrings? |
| 21:49.17 | dataw0lf | she stomped out before I could kick her out |
| 21:49.19 | dataw0lf | I still have her earrings |
| 21:49.30 | dataw0lf | on a nail on my wall as a trophy |
| 21:49.56 | dataw0lf | she ain't getting em back. they cost her a near hit on dw's head with a heavy ceramic coffee mug. |
| 21:50.47 | mindjuju | that's nuts. |
| 21:53.06 | dataw0lf | yea |
| 21:53.10 | dataw0lf | most girls I date are |
| 21:53.12 | dataw0lf | unfortunately |
| 22:31.53 | herlo | anyone have a good site where I could peruse web based installer code? or something similar? |
| 22:33.39 | herlo | something simple would be preferred, I have looked at mediawiki and a few others. And without a great amount of research (it was very convoluted and would take some serious time to resolve), I don't think I would like to figure it out... |
