This is a strange thing. I boot win 2003 from an iSCSI SAN. I have a local hard drive and want to use it for swap only. I have formatted the HD and modified the swap file to point to S: drive only. The SAN boot volume is set to "No pagefile". On reboot, a pagefile has been created on S...

Our SAN Dhcp server admins purely reserved IPs for PXE clients. I want to try and script a test that will first query an active DHCP server for an IP. I would like to release and then renew the IP and then inspect the dhcpoffer. If the primary DHCP server is down, then the action I need to...

I am just getting into HTA. I've been using vbs for approx 2 years. I am trying to convert an existing vbs script to HTA. I want to open a child window that will ask for both a user name and password should the script detect that the server I connect to uses different credentials to my local...

I have a 3060. I want auto failover between two internal cisco routers. I have configured rip v2 between the sonicwall and the primary router. The sonicwall picks up the cisco routes with a metric of 120 - all well and good. I then wanted a static route pointing to the second cisco but only...

Hi I'm working in a hosting environment. We use 3060 PRO. We want to control clients access behind the firewall (switched network) on a single dmz to dmz port. I have been testing private vlan switches behind the firewall. The basic config connects a promisuous port to the Firewall and all...

I need to source a 24/48 port switch that is capable of full private vlan support and run at gigabit on all ports. I am confused at the choice and how vague the data sheets are. Key features: 24 port and 48 port copper Vlan and private Vlans (promiscuous and community secondary vlans) Jumbo...

I need to source a 24/48 port switch that is capable of full private vlan support and run at gigabit on all ports. I am confused at the choice and how vague the data sheets are. I have come across private vlan edge but no real info. Key features: 24 port and 48 port copper Vlan and private...

I am using DHCP with PXE to boot to a SAN. Although we are using DHCP, all clients have to be reserved - the DHCP server issues info regarding PXE and iSNS. For redundancy I would like two DHCP servers on the SAN subnet. These servers would have to maintain the same scope, scope memebers and...

I have a iSCSCI SAN. A sonicwall 2040 protects the SAN from the public internet. It has been recommended that the SAN and SAN clients use jumbo frames. The SAN will replicate volume data between two sites. I can't use NAT. It is possible for the Sonicwall to work with Jumbo Frames. Does...

Hi We used an equallogic iSCSI SAN. I have setup Microsoft iSNS for target registration/discovery. We use the MS iSCSI initiator. This seems to have two methods of target discovery. The first is "target portals" and the second iSNS. iSNS is working. The problem I have.....I want to...

We have a SAN which we boot from. The SAN allows the cloning of volumes. We thought this would be great to quickly roll out bootable volumes for new 2003 servers. Started looking at sysprep. There doesn't seem to be any concise detailed help on practical configuration. Anyway, I have...

I have just started using the dell 5324 properly. I have two Dell switches and have setup aggregated channels in one vlan and have a couple of ports configured for switch management on another vlan. I set up the spanning tree priorities on both switches. When I parallel link the agregated...

I have a new iSCSI SAN. I want to keep a local boot hd. The idea would be to start the boot from the hard drive containing the required iSCSI initiator to then mount remote file systems volumes. We are using Fedora 4 Can anyone point me in the right direction to start searching on how I will...

I have written a command line script to return the Dell Service tag of a local or remote machine. I check the return error code to establish whether the machine running the script authenticates and then moves on. The idea was to have three attempts at authentication.....after that the script...

Hi I tried to run fport on one of my servers and get the message that I have to be an administrator to run it. Very strange cus I am logged in as administrator. Is there anything I can check or change. Thanks Si

I failed the exam today. I had 53 questions in total but only got through 45. I found the infomation given in some question so overwhelming at times, having to scroll through configs, study subnets etc. I scored 740, needing 840 with eight questions left. I feel gutted that the exam has such...

Hi Is it possible to connect a single cisco router to a triangulated switched ethernet network. The switches have been triangualated for resilience and use both spanning tree and vlans. I would like the router to connect to the two switched with the highest priority bridge IDs. Thanks Si

Hi After some guidance. I'm working on a SAN project which includes Snapshots but I need to try and work out how large to make each snapshot volume. Does anyone know if it possible to monitor disk changes using VBS at a disk block level. I could get a simple view by taking a daily incremental...
