HPE Gen10 DL380 won't connect without static ARP (Windows/Cisco networking) by FriskyDuck in sysadmin

[–]FatherPrax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're purely remote, then definitely should look into Infosight. If you have access to iLO, then you can download the free appliance iLO Amplifier pack, then log into iLO and point it at the VM.

It will start uploading the hardware logs for the server to the cloud, and let you open tickets much easier thru the Infosight interface.


[–]FatherPrax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Use a laptop. Plug into the same port on the switch, see if the problem remains.

Then plug the laptop directly into the server (shouldn't need a crossover cable on gigE nowadays but if you have one it's good to make sure) and see if you can ping to and from between the laptop and server.

With the information gathered, if you still can't narrow down the cause, open a ticket with HPE. If possible, make sure your server is registered with InfoSight.

HP BL460c G9 10gb Mezz Question by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]FatherPrax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mezz cards in HPE Blades are bound to specific interconnect bays. So the answer is Yes, but it won't connect to your interconnects if there isn't something in that bay.

FlexLOM (onboard NICs) connect to interconnects 1 & 2

Mezz 1 connects to interconnects 3 & 4

Mezz 2 connects to interconnects 5-8. 5 & 6 for a dual port card, then 7 & 8 if it is a quad port card.

Protesters use skywriting in cities nationwide to call to 'defund' ICE by CapitalCourse in politics

[–]FatherPrax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, this is the problem. You made a claim, but cannot back it up. You're just believing what you have heard without KNOWING what is really going on. Not saying I know either, that's why I asked. You sounded SO SURE that obviously you would know how many terrorists the badasses at ICE have protected us from.

I did do a google search before I posted (and was going thru page 3 of the google results for more info when your reply popped up). Know what I found? The first page was a mix of news articles that were half Pro Trump and half saying ICE/DHS is lying about the numbers. The other half were generic government websites that didn't give useable numbers.

The only real good report I found was this report from the Department of Justice. One of the key facts is that between Sep 01 and Dec of 16, 549 individuals were convicted on charges of terrorism. Of those 549, half of them were US citizens (either born or naturalized).

Farther down, it talks about the border security in relation to people on the terrorist watchlist. In 2017, 2,554 individuals were turned away because they were on the watchlist. However 2,170 of those were in airports, which means old school Customs officers caught them. The list is generated by the FBI. So what exactly did ICE do that wasn't handled by old school border security and customs? Remember, those people were just turned away, not arrested. Other articles on the first page of the Google results talk about the fact that many of the people arrested or turned away because they were on the watchlist is because they shared a name with someone on the watchlist. That's it.

So yes, I did do a google search. Have you? Can you back up your bullshit?

Dell R740 vs HPE DL380 Gen10 for GPU (M10) by Burgergold in sysadmin

[–]FatherPrax 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just posted on your other thread on this. It's down to the PCIe lane assignment, and which model they chose. There are indeed Dell servers that will let you put a GPU on the first socket.

vSphere Standard vs Enterprise Plus for GPU by Burgergold in vmware

[–]FatherPrax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The issue is with the PCIe lanes available. Intel servers have the PCIe lanes bound to specific sockets. The x16 slots for GPU tend to be assigned to the 2nd socket in Dell & HPE servers, since hardware like the RAID card and 10gb NICs are assigned PCIe lanes from the first socket. Depending on the model, some systems can have PCIe x16 on the first processor, letting you do a 1 socket configuration.

This is What Community Oriented Policing Looks Like by cambeiu in videos

[–]FatherPrax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the things said in the video that stuck with me was the guy who said something like "It means a lot that someone is out here in a uniform that cares." Social workers aren't in a uniform, and while that seems like a useless little fact I don't think it is. It means someone with visible authority is involved, not just "some guy or lady with a clipboard" kind of thing.

Not sure if that means we give social workers doing this a uniform, or if we need to raise the profile of social workers so that it's not the uniform that matters but the idea "woah a Social worker is actually helping me" becomes the mentality though.

A white man's first black cookout by Blic3n in videos

[–]FatherPrax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you be cautious to show up to a cookout down in Mexico if you've never been? What about over in India? Hell, for a good ol boy like that just showing up to a black tie event at the opera could be just as unnerving.

It could just be culture shock, because let's face it American black culture can be different than what many white Americans have experienced. He played it up for a laugh, but I would probably be a little nervous in that same situation. I've been to several family cookouts here in Texas with Mexican and Columbian familes, but I can't remember ever going to a black family cookout.

This didn't strike me in any way as racist, but as someone who understands that black culture can be different than his, but he doesn't know HOW it is different.

When does it start getting easier? by psnd3rs in TrueAtheism

[–]FatherPrax 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Noone should have to go thru what you've gone thru. Let me say that first.

As scientific as we tend to view the world, there is something in the statement "We think with our brain, but feel with our hearts" that does apply to many of us. Even if we logically lack a belief in a God, our behavior and internalized responses take a long time to change, because they are a foundational part of our self-image.

Those take a long time to change, and the way they change for each person is different. I think that may be what you're having a hard time with. Excuse the comparison, but you are like an abused dog that has been adopted by a loving family. For months, that dog will be skittish, afraid of human contact and panicking at everything. It takes time for the dog to unlearn behaviors it learned to avoid being hurt.

There are several thoughts about how to unlearn those ingrained responses, but first thing to do is make a decision on what you want to do. By that, I mean you can't just keep doing the same thing and hope "It'll get better with time". If it isn't already better, then you are the type of person that needs more of catalyst to change than simply time.

My first recommendation? A therapist. A psychologist. Someone to talk to about this and can provide a neutral sounding board, and provide guidance. Because let's be honest, most of us up here are not professionals and while we have seen this before, there is a reason people went to school for this kind of support. Finding one you can be comfortable with may be hard, if you live in a Southern Baptist area they tend to be all encompassing. That said, I know there are non Christians in even the deep south in every profession.

Second thing I recommend? Cut off. Challenge yourself to cut off contact with things and people that trigger your issues for at least a few months. You can tell people ahead of time you're doing a self-discovery kick if you need to, but this includes family that causes you stress. This also includes the debate forums online. One thing I've found is that lack of exposure to religious talk does help with you releasing the mindset. Even if you don't believe, exposure keeps those feelings alive in your heart.

When I left religion I did the same as you, tons of debate forums and even thought about street epistemology, listening to street preachers and thinking "I could beat this guy in a debate. Maybe I should challenge him right here!" It got too much, so I stopped going to those forums and chat rooms, and spent about a year ignoring everything about both religion and atheism. I just did my work, hung out with my friends, and my hobbies that had nothing to do with either. Eventually I found I no longer had that visceral response anymore, and felt comfortable coming back into religious debate areas.

Help Visualizing a Server - Revit Server by Bobby_wr7 in vmware

[–]FatherPrax -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Be careful with that. I have a customer running a very large Revit environment, and if you do things wrong you can corrupt your image stores very easily.

See this page for the requirements: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/revit-products/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/System-requirements-for-Autodesk-Revit-2021-products.html

Given those, main thing is 1) Storage and 2) VM resources. On the storage side, I would be looking at Mixed-Use SSD at a minimum, if not full NVMe or SAS SSD Write intenstive drives.

On the server resources, you can see the VM needs at least 6 cores, up to 32GB of RAM. If you are running Enterprise Plus, make sure you setup resource pools to give your Revit server priority to resources. You can even assign the resources instead, but that is usually not needed.

That being said, I've heard Revit Server is going away, or at least isn't being developed as well as Revit Cloud is. They're trying to push people to using their cloud offering, and if you're new to virtualization that may be a better option.

Business Expanding - GPU Passthrough and VMware, What do I need? by meathelix1 in vmware

[–]FatherPrax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Horizon View licenses includes the underlying vSphere environment, as long as you are only running VMs related to the VDI environment (basically vCenter and the desktop VMs themselves on the hosts).

If you already have the GPUs, then you just need to configure the vSphere host to allow for the passthru.


Here's a decent walkthru.


[–]FatherPrax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Passthru can be done, but you're supposed to use Quadro cards, not GeForce, which are much more expensive.

More cost efficient to get a big card and use vGPU virtualization, because 1) you can fit way more VMs per host than you can have PCIe slots and 2) Quadro cards are expensive but not compared to 12 low end cards that it replaces.

I have an architect customer testing this out using Revit. They're doing a 1-2CPU to vCPU ratio on their systems (most places do 1-4, but they're willing to spend more for testing & guaranteed resources) and a decent GPU, sized to give every VM a 2gb vGPU, sized based off of the number of VMs they can get on the host based off the CPUs.

You need Horizon View licenses & NVidia GRID licenses, but if you're doing this go for an actual enterprise setup. Those licenses aren't too expensive, since you're paying per VM and Engineering workstations are pretty beefy.

90s Alternative was so chocked full of female singers that it kinda struck me as weird when there was so few outside of pop & R&B in the 2000s and 2010 comparatively. Garbage, No Doubt, Hole, Sonic Youth, The Cranberries... and thats isn't including all the singular women like Bjork, Alanis Morriset, Sinead O'Conner & Tori Amos.
