Avoid IBM x3650!
alan | 05 July, 2009 20:05It was about six months ago that we got two IBM x3650 servers. Since the very first week after installing operating system and making them operational, we were having several raid controller instability crash problems. First I tried to upgrade aacraid kernel module to some newer versions hoping it would solve the problem; but it didn't help. Then doing more research led me to updating controller, hard drive and main board firmwares. Thank God, that helped to make the whole thing running more stable. But this was not the end of our trouble road. Last week we lost raid 5 configuration on one of the servers running six virtualized servers over XenServer. Long story short, it took a week to be able to recover data from the raid array and setting up a new server to restore it all. Guys! seriously avoid x3650 machines.

Actually I became a country music fan since found the great Go Country 105 radio station. (FM 105.1, Southern California). Here I present my favorite song these days. It really nice and I'm sure you would like it. I believe that John Rich is a really talented guy. An hour for a complete song, its amazing!

Beyond God's Law

Belle, Is the only word that suits her well
When she dances, oh the story she can tell
A free bird trying out her wings to fly away
And when I see her move, I see hell to pay
She dances naked in my soul and sleep won't come
And it's no use to pray theses prayers Notre-Dame
Tell, who'd be the first to raise his hand and throw a stone
I'd hang him high and laugh to see him die alone
Oh Lucifer, please let me go beyond God's law
Anf run my fingers through her hair - Esmeralda!
