| 14:07.23 | GGD | hey stickster |
| 14:07.24 | GGD | plarsen: |
| 14:07.30 | GGD | jsmith-away: |
| 14:07.43 | plarsen | Good afternoon |
| 14:08.00 | GGD | good morning plarsen |
| 14:10.27 | GGD | got to love "boot has failed sleeping forever" message when you boot up |
| 14:19.03 | plarsen | :) You saw that post on novalug? Yeah, cute message. Sleep for 365 days - repeat :) |
| 14:20.52 | GGD | no i got it when i booted my machine after i loaded f12 on a machine |
| 16:43.52 | plarsen | jsmith-away: you around? What's the "technical" name for an orange fiber cable that you use with a fiber (like Brocade) switch? |
| 16:44.09 | plarsen | GGD: the error means it cannot find/mount root |
| 18:46.56 | GGD | ahh plarsen |
| 18:53.58 | jsmith | waves (now that he's finally back home) |
| 18:54.21 | plarsen | welcome home jsmith - I wish I was "there" too :( |
| 18:54.26 | plarsen | Won't be long though |
| 18:54.49 | plarsen | kicks his brocade switch down the road! |
| 18:55.12 | jsmith | plarsen: I've been on the road for the past eleven days... |
| 18:55.23 | jsmith | plarsen: ... after that long, *everyone* deserves to go home |
| 18:55.29 | plarsen | How's your arms? Must be tired after all that flying ... *grin* |
| 18:55.36 | plarsen | I bet |
| 18:55.42 | plarsen | Do you get a few days "leave time" at home? |
| 18:56.30 | jsmith | I wish I did... I'm gonna take a couple of days off next week, as my parents will be in town for my daughter's baptism |
| 18:56.41 | plarsen | jsmith: have you ever used SANs - or fiber channels? |
| 18:56.57 | plarsen | jsmith: you have a new daugther? |
| 18:57.04 | plarsen | jsmith: Congrats!! Didn't know that. |
| 18:57.14 | jsmith | I've played with both SANs and fiber channel, but not in many years |
| 18:57.47 | jsmith | I don't have a new daughter... we (Mormons) don't believe in baptising children until they're old enough to be accountable for their actions |
| 18:58.06 | plarsen | Hmmm --- got a wierd thing about multipath. I have two HBA's in the host, each are zoned to ONE port on the SAN. But according to ESX there's 4 paths for each HBA??? |
| 18:58.15 | plarsen | jsmith: ahhhhhhhh |
| 18:58.28 | plarsen | jsmith: That's "conformation" in my vocabolary ;) |
| 18:58.38 | jsmith | Gotcha |
| 18:58.48 | plarsen | jsmith: My nephew is going through that in a few weeks. Sadly I can't make it there :( |
| 18:59.07 | jsmith | In our church, confirmation (giving the gift of the holy spirit) is usually done soon after baptism, at about the age of eight. |
| 18:59.29 | plarsen | jsmith: double party ... well, you guys know how to do it :) |
| 19:00.01 | jsmith | Well, most people don't exactly equate Mormons with party animals.... but I'm sure we'll have a fun time |
| 19:00.25 | plarsen | jsmith: to me, the ability to party (having a good time) isn't religious - but human ... |
| 19:00.27 | plarsen | brb |
| 19:10.36 | plarsen | back |
| 19:11.37 | plarsen | hmmm - this zoning may actually make sense ... |
| 19:12.55 | jsmith | Sense? |
| 19:13.00 | jsmith | Is that even possible? |
| 19:13.09 | plarsen | nope ... I just realized it doesn't ;) |
| 19:13.11 | jsmith | If it made sense, they wouldn't need folks like you and I to do the work. |
| 19:13.29 | plarsen | If each HBA can only see ONE host port, I should see only two paths per device. I see 4 ... GRRRRR |
| 19:22.21 | plarsen | has a feeling he's chasing a brain fart or a ghost |
| 19:23.26 | plarsen | just decided it was a brain fart. |
| 19:23.35 | plarsen | Two storage processors with TWO connectors each makes 4 :) |
| 19:23.42 | plarsen | Ohhh the wonders of logic and a slow brain |
