Entry-level SAN

I just have to start a business (yesterday) and have my work cut out for me. My predecessor was sacked but poor management and lack of planning.

Here, the infrastructure is need of a total overhaul. That said, the company is mainly virtualized with only 2 servers file inherited still on the network. They currently have 3 hosts pointing to 3 stores different data on the same SAN (nothing surprises me here) and 98% storage allocated and there is no room.

I'm new to San entry that I only played with NetApp FS2240 for a few years. I need suggestions that there is a lot that many choose to and I tried to browse through all the hype and propaganda that surrounds them.

I want a device that allows direct iSCSI connection to 3 guests.  Looks like we'll require on the storage capacity of 6 to 10 GB in RAID 5 with extendability for future growth. I also want to use the old SAN for snapshots

I do not have a budget right now but I am looking in the area between this project and 10 k $-$20 AUS needs to move quickly.

Currently, I am interested in the HP Lefthand P4000 series but have also sought to Bay EqualLogic PS4110XV 3.5 "10GbE iSCSI. I didn't price on either and maybe not what is needed here.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Take a look at the makings of Nexenta.  Might be cheaper for your uses (although with a little less resilience)

That being said, take a look at the e - its specially designed for environments like yours (cheap, easy to use/install) and shed light on support costs.  It's not like buying a VMAX.

  • Recommendations for entry level FC SAN

    Currently have a NFS datastore.  Looking to add a FC SAN as primary storage and use the NAS for backups and secondary storage.

    The installer includes 3 x servers HP DL380 hosts.  Recommendations for an entry-level SAN FC?  Want a unit that enables the direct connection of the 3 hosts through 8 GB FC.  Require only 12 max motorization and would use only 8 disks to start.  Budget will be 20 k $ or less for cables, discs, 3 FC HBAS and SAN.

    Thoughts?

    Thank you

    Messages like these generally attract a series of 'recommendations' of suppliers, so be wary.

    If your environment is all the HP, it is usually meaningful in a perspective of care to assess without HP.

  • entry level for storytelling

    Hello

    I does not seem to cause an entry level lights during the addition of narration. The spectacle of lights for audio and music of movies, but not for the narration. How can I fix this please?

    Narration work very well without a microphone, that is when I

    just speak directly into the computer's speakers.

    This likely tip of the problem. I bet that your computer has a microphone, which is connected to the Realtek card, and that's what you record with. You will need to turn off the microphone so your Realtek can see and use the externally connected microphone.

    I would look at control panel > system > hardware > Device Manager > sound, video and game controllers and see what is listed. I have sides that your Realteck is hooked up to a microphone. You may need to explore your exact computer with the mfgr., to see how to disable the microphone.

    Good luck

  • General question: what is involved with a DBA position entry level?

    Hello

    I hope I've put this in the right forum. I was hoping to get feedback by those in or near the field to get a better understanding of the responsibilities and requirements for entry level DBA work. (What is a "I need a job", I did not).

    I don't know there is a wide range of difference depending on who you work for. So, I guess I should post a more specific question, if any feedback is greatly appreciated. I don't need to know it is to meet the education requirements, I have that down.

    Number of questions:
    -With an "entry level" position, commonly how one should be in SQL and PL/SQL?
    -Would you spend more time working on isolated tasks, or management of database encompassing all the?
    -One would spend time to work in other languages?
    -Would one spend a lot of time on the architecture and design of DB?
    -Other than the server (and associated material general network) is there any other material can be expected to work with?
    -"Beginners" would require a vast maintenance, troubleshooting, and hours of coding?
    -In general, is "entry level" a post of Assistant?
    and finally
    There's anything like that, you wouldn't expect not as a requirement, but is often in the field. Such functions often passed down that one would not expect, or additional skills that would be expected not to in general.

    Thanks in advance for any comments. Feel free to include comments not mentioned in this post. I must add that I have a solid knowledge of google, but I'm hoping to get previews experienced (at all levels).

    Thank you

    Is pretty much answered your questions

    It depends on.

    It depends on what you know already - master (or at least become quite good at) before entering the DBA work.
    It depends on how your store is set up.
    It depends on what is needed at the moment.
    It depends on if the shop you can (has a place for you) with your skill set.

    There is no standard for what makes a DBA. Not really. No s/n, at least no that last a very long time, never turns down a task because it is not DBA job to do. Therefore, the best DBA (very useful) are quite versatile in what they know and what they do.

  • ASO and BSO entry levels

    Hi, a parent may be an entry in a level cube ASO/OSB? If Yes, is there a property that must be set so that the data can be loaded at the parent level or essbase accept by default? Thanks for your help.

    ASO does not accept entries from parent level.

    OSI does by default. However just because it is, does not say that it is a good idea. I imagine that someone will chime in with more details.

  • How can I configure an iPad to iOS and boot up without any question/entry level?

    Hello

    recently, my greatest pain is the process of upgrading a remote iPad (Yes, for old people like my parents). So if I have an iPad set up in a specific way and there is an update to iOS, it restarts and goes through a series of Questions and comments. I don't mind (it's a lie, I DON'T MIND). For literate people no gadget, it is frustrating and therefore for someone by train - remote to help regain access. The Question is: can we have a configuration that goes through an iOS update WITHOUT asking one thing? Maybe an oke pop-up asking 'agree' with setting level and all other Q later? No PIN code of installation ask if I hadn't any prior to installation? I mean, if you please, seriously? I have install i-device in a specific way and I LIKE IT like that. Include a button in the installer to accept all license agreements or agreements after an upgrade without asking. Unless I have clear. PLEASE? I guess anyone who support parents or grandparents remotely includes part of the simple upgrade...

    So, is there a way of "secret"? It will never be a?

    Kind regards

  • Difficulty of design at the entry level

    Hi guys,.

    I intend to make my first website with Dreamweaver CS 4. I'm at the beginning of the level. I like clean, simple and minimalist design. I wonder if a website that looks very simple like this

    http://www.thirteen.co.UK/thirteen/

    may be easy enough to do in Dreamweaver CS4 for a beginning user. Sometimes the very simplistic look they mask a rather complicated code and programming and so on.

    What do you think?

    I thought that Dreamweaver was meant to be a WYSIWYG system

    It is certainly not that.  Or he is promoted as such.  Of course, because of all the different browsers and versions of each still in use, there is no such thing as WYSIWYG, nor was it ever.  HTML elements writing system that promotes itself that WYSIWYG is lying.  Dreamweaver is a professional quality writing system which will hurt you if you try to use it without a fair understanding of HTML and CSS...

    Since the design is very simple it was not so difficult to begin to 'draw' boxes.

    You are clearly not the only one who thinks that.  Probably 50% of the posts on this forum are to ask for help to dig the hole that this approach Gets the poster in.  It may be unpleasant to devote day to the tedious (and erroneous) alignment of objects on the screen to find that you have yourself painted into a corner and must tear away everything you've done and start again.

    This is not to say that visualize your layout as a series of boxes is false. In fact, it is the essential step in thinking about how to build your page.  But once viewed, the next steps are what requires an understanding of HTML and CSS.  The page is built by stacking of these 'boxes' one atop the other, floating, some in place, standing, of other margins and padding, making some backgrounds of images, other first plans, and slowly but surely the page meets.  Note that I didn't mention at all positioning.  It is not a page layout tool - I give you fair fair attention, as you mention in your next sentence.  Most professional sites use never one positioned element.

    However, who do you think could a good place to start sketching out this site? I mean the positioning divs and so on...

    What site - the one you linked?  I would like to start with this-

  • How to set the entry level of voiceover?

    Hello

    I use Soundbooth to record my voiceover work. My equipment includes a MacBook Pro and a Samson CO1U microphone. It doesn't seem to be anywhere to adjust the input level (record). There is a setting of the slider in the Audio (Soundbooth) dialog box that you can access when you press record, but the slider itself is not accessible (i.e. When you try to drag, it is locked, and nothing happens). Anyone have any ideas? I would really appreciate it!

  • Determination of entry-level PCI-6034E

    Hello, I have a few questions. I use K thermocouples to measure temperature using the following data acquisition system:

    • SCXI-1000 chassis
    • Connection block SCXI-1102 b
    • SCXI-1303 terminal block
    • Controller PCI-6034E

    With the SCXI-1102 b PCI-6034E, which of these two determines the polarity and the gain of the signal?

    PCI-6034E offers only bipolar mode? (- 10V + 10V /-5V + 5V /-0, 5V + 0, 5V /-0, 05V + 0, 05V)

  • HP G3010 Scanner entry-level 110volts AC ~ 240volts

    I don't know, but your manual or to the unit or the power supply will tell you.  If it has a transformer online, look at the specs on the transformer.  If this is not the case, look at the back or the underside of the unit.

    Buongiorno a tutti, sewn by UN cercare di n a po di doubt knew una nuova infrastruttura it di piccole Super da realizzare da zero based on known vSphere.

Unica cosa di cui è più che di prestazioni e di affidabilita, sono servizi need really it down, e critico e cui he ripristino deve avvenire nel tempo minor possible. Saranno più o meno una quindicina di vm e ho stimato UN use data di 70/80 GB di ram e 500/600 GB storage di. Nel cercare a partner by the e price it set up ROM avere comunque idea chiarè di quello che mi serve, ho pensato di distribuire it 3 Server with 64 Gb di ram su tutto e take como minimo essential plus licenza. By he tera e mezzo di storage che I like avere mi vedo di fronte a due soluzioni: sServer senza brain e nas doppio controller active-active using iscsi (cf fuori budget e... ) ) o date if renouncing Hello FAT32 storage e al suo posto carrozzare bene I server e usare di san virtual vmware (no ho diversi virtual san com by manage tutto con solo UN vendor, a meno che di quality a product particularly non lo giustifichi)? E' una soluzione overall o this sound try architetturali/accorgimenti da consider nel mio caso che non emergono ad una prima evaluation (rete o of cpu use by the replica dei dati o che tipo di elevato tipo in futuro nodi Microsoft no if can add con hw diverso o ancora PE o limitazioni di UN guasto Server di ripristinare nel servizio)?

    Confermo quanto detto gia da Tinto. VSAN line I have 10 Gbit by he network oltre ad at least one SSD disco for each host.

    I costi di licenza poi a su UN cluster 3 nodi can essere superiori al costo di una entry level SAN.

    Per quanto if quest'ultima hai need di standards network Reed 1 Gbit switch e which service at least 2 network by host al solo quality storage card.

    In alternativa ad iSCSI you can use NFS Reed, my forward-looking dallo storage che Craig ad acquistare e li da quanto ti felt more a con tuo agio i protocolli 2.

    Nella scelta dello storage rivolgiti a company prodotti che prima di tutto di garantiscano dei livelli di servizio e co elevati.

  • BIAS entry SoundSaver level does not work after upgrade to win 8 to 8.1

    Used BIAS SoundSaver INport software for digitizing music LPs and tapes to load up on the MP3 player.  Worked fine with Windows 8.  However, now that I've updated to 8.1 Win, I can get the soundtracks of vinyl and cassettes, but entry level which controls the level of recording on software no longer works.  My computer is a desktop HP ENVY Phoenix h9-1355 with IDT High Definition Audio CODEC. I wonder if the problem may be with the audio drivers installed on the computer.

    Hi @Alkay

    I see that you have sound problems after your 8.1 update. You updated to 8.1 versions of the drivers?
