Welcome to sigterm.net

Here you will find a variety of HOWTO articles, testing, projects and more to help you understand linux/unix systems. Mainly I run FreeBSD, Fedora, CentOS, Debian, and Solaris and my newest being SuSE (not bad). The projects directory holds alot of useful scripts and is mainly targetted to FreeBSD as its updated the most.

Other things on here include the famous pics vault of pictures that gets quite a few hits per day believe it or not. I dont know how that happened but, oh well, its free for you all to get to still. Another is my webcam link, which I dont have running all the time but... you might catch me sitting here twiddling my thumbs over something.
bsd daemon


Until then... adios!
 

Welcome

The IRC servers are still going, I forgot to put the link up so... I'll just put it here for now and make sure this blog stays on top for a while.

  • irc.sigterm.net port 6667
  • Right now we have about 3-5 servers constantly, more people have moved over to SigNet lately, which is nice. I invite all you 'good' people to come hangout and chat anytime. Services are running chan/nickserv for your chatting experience. Let us know if theres anything we can do to make it better.

     

    more motocross please.

    Well, I figured, its been a long, long time now since I posted here. So why not now right? Alright, well , life has been flipped upside down within the past year. New job, house still under construction (its never getting finished, I just know it...), new friends, new hobby's... Other than that, life's going as best as can be. My project list has dwindled down to , 1 and its not even a project that has not beem developed already. Installing ZoneMinder and hooking up cctv video cameras all over the house, fun... ah for the first 5 minutes :).

     

    Washington DC

     
    By sigterm at Sat, 2007-04-21 14:12

    Well I came to Washington DC for training. It started out to be a friggin cold week, down in the 30's with the windchill wehen i arrived at first. Its been getting warmer all week long now, finally reaching 70-something on Saturday, NICE! Of all the days that it could happen on, I'm glad it was today.

    During my visit here, I've met some people that were pretty cool from class, "Scott" "Brian", both from Annapolis, MD. Hopefully I get to meet up with them at VMworld 2007 later this year. Other than that, I got to finally meet some friends that I've known on IRC now for quite a while. Fiver and his wife drove over to go out one night and meet up. We went to some place called "Buffalo Billiards" . After many guiness beers and irish carbombs, it didn't seem too far off to say, I think we could hang out again and do some more of this. But since my time is so short here, maybe another time. Thanks for the good time Fiver and Redhead :) Oh and if Fiver actually reads this, "Kristy" says hi and she wants to bum another smoke, AND, tells you to move up to NY because, its simply just better than DC.
    *wink*

     

    VI3 Secure and Deploy, Wash DC

    I'm here in DC for the week taking another VMware training course called VMware Secure and Deploy. Its part of the Virtual Infrastructure 3 courses. I was singled out with the first question of "You must be the guy from Hawaii, the shirt gave you away" , of course I was wearing one of my nice Aloha shirts, drat! I'll be posting my observations of the class and how its going throughout this week and adding it onto this post for a final some time later this week.

     

    ESX3 Post Install configurations

    vmware

    Lately, I've been doing alot with ESX3 and Virtual Control Center 2.0, as with Virtual Consolidated Backups. And... And.. And.. heh, anyhow, I've come across a few things, that I think the world should know, they are not quite documented in black and white, but I figured I would put them here in case people stumble across them.

    If you use SAN Storage across your ESX servers, you will want to make sure that when you snapshot servers, that the lun can be seen by the other ESX servers thereafter. They have a default setting in the advanced config of your VI client of the ESX server. Heres what to do.
    1)

    in VI client, goto your esx host, goto configuration
    goto Advanced Settings
    goto LVM


    change LVM.DisallowSnapshotLun from 1 to 0

    Now the LUN's will show up to the rest of your ESX servers and you won't be scratching your head saying WTF when it happens. Believe me... it WILL happen at some point, so be ready! :)

    VMware Infrastructure 3

     
    By sigterm at Fri, 2006-10-27 12:50
    vmware

    VMware Infrastructure 3 Training was excellent! The ideas from the classmates there were great for alot of things pertaining to what I do here and what I will be doing here at my job in the future. The course itself was very structured with labs daily to test out the examples given. In which most worked, but... in some cases, if you misconfigure something from the start, your going to be backtracking to the point of initial config and that means your going to have some downtime. So be careful and configure it right the first time! A well thought out VMware design is crucial to this sort of project. If you fail at this, your virtual environment will be crap and very hard to manage in my opinion.

     

    Vegas Trip

    Last week I went to Vegas to meet up with my bro and pops. Turned out to be some good times while I was there. We stayed at the Flamingo on the strip across from Caesars Palace. Pretty good spot to stay at, since its walking distance to pretty much anywhere you wanna go, and for everything else.... theres MasterCard. *cha ching*. Other than that, we went horseback riding outside of Vegas, dinners here and there 'Mesa', 'Spaggo', all of them excellent. One thing about Vegas, bring alot of money, it goes quick, whether your gambling, or just hanging around doing nothing but eating, drinking, going out.

     

    ESX3 , Virtual Control Center 2

    Now that our VoIP project is slowly coming to an end, there is a new project coming around the corner for me. Its VMware's ESX 3 and Virtual Control Center 2. This is by far the greatest release VMware has put out over the years as far as advanced technology goes in a VM environment. The servers now can be controlled by a central management service for all ESX servers. This also opens up things for managed hardware across a VM infrastructure as well, making it possible to allocate what a VM needs in order to have the processing, memory power it needs in order to do its job from other machines in the VM server cluster.

     

    Cisco Call Manager and Unity Tidbits

    Lately here at work, we've been working on our VoIP project. We went with Cisco all the way, backed by ibm global consultants, and our staff, basically Ferd and myself. Count it.... (2). Anyhow, this project has been about the biggest thing for this company. The levels we are going to in order to get things done and installed and a high sense of redundancy is just crazy, but well worth it at the same time. Cisco Call Manager and Unity are being used to tie all this together. Cisco Catalyst PoE switches, Cisco voice routers, lots of fiber, and new drops here and there to make sure we can get everyone hooked up is quite a task.
