  • I hate it when my boss says that. Or he will call it “D-RAC”. Annoys the hell out of me.
    It’s iDRAC.
    Yes, there are components that are called RAC, but the Dell out of band management system is called iDRAC.
    … but that’s not as dumb as when he calls the SuperMicro system “iLO”. That’s IPMI. We don’t even own any HPE. I’ve no idea why he’s stuck on iLO.




  • This is the NetAdmin’s problem. And he’s got 3 ways to get into the datacenter, so he goddamn well better have an answer that doesn’t involve airfare. Worst case, he’s gotta use remote hands, but that would be embarrassing, and I’d not let him forget it. Nobody forgives me when I screw up a server cluster, so he gets no latitude when he takes a datacenter offline.
