Even if you thought the previous repair to a HP TX2 tablet was bizarre – using a towel to overheat the unit. However this fix was relatively short lived – probably because it was only done for 30 minutes or so. Once I had a chance to work on again I had researched a number […]
Had an issue today where a client with an MD3200i san and VMware esx reported a problem with space when copying contents of physical cds to a virtual machine for installation. The strange issue was that they reported a disk space message when there was in fact plenty of space on the virtual disk. After […]
A recent client experience reminded me that advising clients about old copies of virtual machines is critical. I normally say to users on vmware and hyperV to clearly rename the old copies that are made of virtual machines to prevent them getting confused with a live version. However thats exactly what led to the clients […]
Another busy week coming to an end. Hopefully many more ahead – especially in the current climate. However when you are busy – perhaps with a new venture – you don’t necessarily think your data is important!! I was asked by a client who had just started an architectural practice what the options for backup […]
I write quite a few project proposals each year and every one is slightly different. Either the solution is different, the specification is different or the target audience is different. With existing customers it is rarely an issue that requires much work – as usually you have an understanding of their needs and why certain […]
A client asked me some questions about HyperV networking and virtual machines – and I found after giving them the answers that I really don’t much like some of the problems that the various release of HyperV have thrust on unsuspecting users. In a recent event a client removed a large amount of hyperV networking […]
Some notes on the rash of 3TB external disks available. Firstly – performance differs quite a bit – if you are going to be getting drives for external backup – check the transfer speeds before parting with your cash. Secondly – remember that a 32 bit O/S is not going to recognise the 3TB approx […]
This incident related to the scheduled upgrade for an MD3200i SAN from Dell. Having spoken to the support staff in advance we had been advised that we would have to use a bridging version of firmware to allow use to get from an early firmware version A0 to A07 in preparation for adding another esx […]
