]]> Comment on EMC VPLEX – Introduction and link overview by Tolulope http://basraayman.com/2010/05/12/emc-vplex-introduction-and-link-overview/#comment-776 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 06:12:53 +0000 http://basraayman.com/?p=327#comment-776 Martin – it’s too bad you mseisd EMC World, as much of what you ask for was actually discussed. I did a session on array-based federation, for example, that outlined the path for seamless tech refresh migrations: first from DMX’s, then CX’s, and then (hopefully) via a new standard for LUN presentation.And your point about cross-platform consistency is well said…and the development teams ARE making progress. Consistent SMI-S support across platforms and the new Virtual Storage Integrator are two examples where we present a single tool/interface that supports all of our products.‘Tis a journey, though, and not a destination. There will always be more that we need to do. And as ‘Zilla said, it will be the customers who will untimately make the decision to merge or sunset product lines.Until then, EMC spends more money and invests more people in EACH of our product lines than do ANY of our competitors in each market…you call for convergence, while we seek “integrated innovation” to drive each product to be #1 in its segment.

]]> Comment on Drobo announces their new Drobo FS by Edevan http://basraayman.com/2010/04/06/drobo-announces-their-new-drobo-fs/#comment-763 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 21:10:13 +0000 http://basraayman.com/?p=253#comment-763 You might wanna check out ‘Time Tamer’ (downloadable on Drobo’s DroboApps page) for lniitimg Time Machine backup sizes. Only catch is that you have to do it at the time you first setup Time Machine, it can’t be done afterward. Not quite sure what the link is between Drobo & Time Tamer (maybe one of their developers wrote it?), but I understand it’ll work with Time Machine backing up to any compatible destination, not just to a Drobo.

You have to check the code that the widget generates you add the “id” that is uses for its div (usually div) to the appropriate section in style.css (look for “sidebar” and background). Regarding the old date format, that was one of the things that I disliked the most and it took me a while to have it my way. Only solution I have is: use the source. Compare my Freshy mod with the original one.

I want to check HA by shutting down one fabric interconnect.

shutdown will be the command to shutdown the FI?
